The Pea Shooter...

Small,but don't let its looks fool you. It was barely 5 stories high and barely 300 feet wide, but it packs a punch. It has 4 giant Flak cannons, whose shots reach at least 3000 miles into space before slowing and stopping. The Xanterian governement has kept the project a secret until now, when the entire military budget has been sucked dry. Now, because of that, the Xanterian government is asking for some sort of loans, which we will pay back generously.

Xexo applauds you. This is obviously the first step into a very powerful space program. Be proud of your achievements.

We will be happy to fund you . Say £800,9000,000000000 to start off.
We will expect some of the guns ourselves but don't worry yourselves.

Xanter thanks Xexo for its kind comment, and Airom for its generous donation.Of course, we can't guarantee the same system layout, etc. and every last detail of the Pea Shooter, but even better ones :D

Uh... that's nice.

For orbit to ground, we use ceramic coated rods about 1.5meters long and 10 cm wide, coated with ceramic and with JDAM guidance. And we just drop them onto the planet. By the time they hit the ground, the force is equal to that of the Hiroshima bomb.

I like using railguns and MIRVs from space. I have a huge space-only missile that in composed hundreds to thousands of 1 KT warheads. Lots of boom.
