I'm certain this has been covered in some detail and is probably covered by PW before but I want to go through it again.
In the game it says that Deus was an interplanetary invasion weapon. I'm just curious as to how it would work exactly. My guess is that it would go about converting matter into Seraphs and using them along with the terminal interface weapons to trash the enemies of it's creators. I'm also thinking that perhaps Deus would be able to tap into the atmospherics of the planet and cause disturbances that way, remember in its test run it actually blew up a planet so the thing has a lot of power behind it.
Also who exactly created Deus I heard somewhere that it was actually excavated by the people of Neo Jerusalem but previously I thought it had been created as a colonisation tool so that those humans could terraform a planet and take control of it. Were the people of Neo Jerusalem at war with somebody or were they just looking for a place to call their own? The Eldridge certainly had weapons which could indicate they had enemies but you never know.
Anyone have anything to say about all this?
Yes totally useless ha ha chase after it

How it works exactly is hard to say. While in the Merkava, Deus sent out it's interface wepons Seraphs to annihilate any threat to Deus while Merkava terraformed the Earth. Deus has also gone through multiple transformations and evolving. The original had it's core dismantled on the ELDRIDGE and then the nucleus was growing old for 10,000 years, the Kadamony evolved to Miang and Elly, the prototype Deus defence units (DIABOLOS) were replaced by the Seraphs and Krelian added more functions with his Nanomachines so that the Seraphs would gather all humans into the Merkava so that everyone could return to the higher dimension in the end. The Deus (or Yabeh) that forced the Earth to be evacuated had probably a totally different design but it would be perfect for a prequel.
About were Deus was created. I think you mean Lost Jerusalem, Neo Jerusalem was never reached. I've heard translations from PW hat suggested that the Earth resisted aginst something in a war era. (This I found on the net so it can be very wrong) but I think they created an interplanetary invasion weapon called Yabeh that went out of control. Then they dismantled the core and placed it on the ELDRIDGE. This core became the Deus we are familiar with. This is just a theory of mine.

I was under assumption that the planet Deus was destroyed was some remote place they used for a testing grounds. If Deus was built to be the ultimate weapon then perhaps it was a small military outpost controlled by the enemy. If Deus was designed so that it could also be used to regulate the atmospherics and weather patterns of a planet then perhaps the planet was uninhabited. Regardless of who built Deus I sincerely doubt they'd test it on their homeworld. I think old Earth was deemed unlivable for some other reason. Any of the following could be responsible: intergalactic war, a virus, high pollution levels, civil war, impact of an asteroid or something I havent thought off.

Yes, they say that Deus annihilated "a whole planet". This could mean another planet as testing ground but I was under the impression that mankind never traveled to other worlds until they were forced to evacuate Earth in the ELDRIDGE. Also, they never really tested Deus powers. They just made connecton tests with Zohar and the newly completed Yabeh and suddenly it just went out of control when Zohar absorbed the Wave Existence in the higher dimension. I like the idea that Deus made the Earth unlivable because that would be 1. more dramatic and 2. Deus as the main bad enemy "thing" since the very start.

Neo Jerusalem was named such because that was humanity's haven after Earth was rendered unlivable...
And although I'm not clear on the source of the components, I was under the impression (from what little I read my first time through) Deus itself was created on the Eldrige, or at least away from earth, along with Kadomony, and Zohar was the only component operational while earth was still reachable.
And... I forgot what else you asked. ^_^;;; Gomen nasai.
Ja mata.
