The QCX-76A Jormungand is a super-large fusion plasma gun the size of a small battleship, and is only a few meters shorter than a Musai-class light cruiser. The Jormungand had a firing range of several thousand kilometers but because of Minovsky particle interference, it only had an effective range of 300 kilometers, which was still well out of the range of any gun fielded by Earth Federation Forces forces.

The Jormungand was powered by miniaturized Minovsky-Ionesco type fusion reactors, which serve as its cartridges. By intentionally causing them to go critical, superheated plasma is generated and launched as a beam. Originally, it was powered by hydrogen bombs, but Minovsky fusion reactors were chosen because of the ease of control and the lesser strain placed on the barrel and the electromagnetic shield.

The Jormungand's design focused on energy generation for the gun and lacked anything like thrusters beyond what was needed to adjust the firing angle, so the weapon was transported in pieces by transport ships and then reassembled. The power of the Jormungand was immense and surpassed just about any other weapon used during the early part of the One Year War, with the exception of nuclear weapons and colonies, and its plasmoid projectiles could easily destroy a Magellan-class battleship in a single shot.

Because of the immense range the plasma gun was meant to be fired at, its gunner cannot effectively aim at targets without observational data from ship closer to the front that it communicates with via laser sights.
