The problem would be actually building the platform in space, since Dust loses its potency the farther it gets from Remnant. More likely they'd have Dust-powered ICBM's launched from ground-based silos. If they even have those, such weapons might've been rendered obsolete and unnecessary after the Great War came to an end. But we don't know for sure. Though considering what happened to Ironwood's automated troops in the Battle of Beacon, I can see the villains turning such weapons against their creators, thus wreaking mass destruction.

I've seen too many people think nukes are the be all end all problem solver, and never consider said weapons being turned against them. That's the main problem with Ironwood and Atlas, they throught their AK-200 units were incorruptible, until Neo proved otherwise. Chilling thought, yes?
