The Chiant – Location: Undisclosed

The Chiant hung in space above the simple earth like planet, almost entirely translucent. It was difficult to pick a spot at which you could not see the entire way through the craft. On board, in the middle of an enormous bridge, stretching the entire width of the ship, Stood a small crowd of people. In front of them on a podium, stood the tall grey-brown figure or Lord Shirassi.
“The reason we have asked you here is because we are demonstrating the newest ship in the Shirassi Family. My ‘Better’ half does market terra-forming ships, and I though it was time to redress the balance. Behold, as it were, the Terra-Distorter.”

He turned, his arm outstretched, encompassing the planet below. On it were moving sleek white triangles. “Those are the Terra-Distorters, let me show you them in action… Computer, run displays.” A slight change in the light on the planet, and the clouds began to swirl, completely changing formation as the Terra-Distorters sped across the atmosphere at impossible speed. “In front of you, you see a recording of a little demonstration we prepared earlier for you, the planet you now see is a low tech planet with humanoid inhabitants, no more than 10 or 20 million of them, ground to air missiles, basic radio, nothing more advanced than that. And so let it begin, Computer commence clearance footage.” The ships began what appeared to be leaving trails of black dust in their wakes, on the planet well behind them began to flow massive brown/black pluming clouds that began to cover the whole planet. “Anti-Matter Micro-Bomblets, dropped to clear off any large resistance structures and kill large life on the surface. Next comes the ‘salting’ fine particles of radioactive material are dropped into the atmosphere, to spread across the planet, the dust clouds from these explosion will trigger lightning storms planet wide, and we’ve just begun. Now for the large bombs, just a few to stir up the seas and level the prominent mountains.” Inside the dust clouds came flashes of red, by now the planet was entirely grey, and you could no longer tell that it was rotating at the exaggerated fast forward speed that allowed events to progress so quickly. “Next is some of the really tricky bits,” the White ships stopped moving and hung there, from beneath them came a bright yellowy glow that shone upon the cloud cover picking out the swirling patterns that grew larger and larger. “Some of them are using dispersed laser to turn as much O2 into ozone as possible, and other are fire high power fine beams into the oceans, heating them up and causing hurricanes and tidal waves. This isn’t the best bit, next massive anti-matter charges are placed deep within the planet, several from each ship and watch the results, and we’ll give you a view below the cloud cover for your convenience.” Suddenly the cloud cover over a quarter of the visible disk melted away and the vista of writhing blue seas and brown earth presented itself where calm and green had been before. All of a sudden and at massive speed came flowing a red haze over the surface spreading the land into the water. “The magma flows have been disturbed causing eruptions throughout the surface, such a cataclysm wont settle down for hundreds of years, and even when it does the cooling that the planet has effected to itself will give it a quality more like Mars than an Earth. But just too make sure that this planet never bears colony again we’ve added a little extra treat…” from behind the guest came a white grey wall of stone, passing by the unnervingly, though it looked real through the ships glass they new it wasn’t really there. “The moon, this planets only satellite has been propelled towards the planet, and what happens should really Distorted the planet” said Shirassi this time with a laugh as if he had told some wonderful joke. The planet visible moved back as the moon hit it, but just as they began to crumple together the projection stopped and the green planet in front of them returned. “The satellites impact has changed the orbit, of its mother planet, it’s now far more elliptical passing closer to, and further from, its sun. The seasons now vary extremely, although in this case that’s unlikely ever to be of importance as it now on a collision orbit with another inner planet, due in just a couple of years, now wont that be something to watch. Ha Ha Ha, well lets see, we’ve an old proverb, it says ‘when you take your enemies land, taint it that he might never return to what he calls home’ I bring the modern day solution to this age-old problem. Now what say you, shall we start the bidding at… $750 billion”


OOC: obviously this is a form of planet killer, but I’m tired of people having big laser and just saying I point and it goes bang. It is designed to be a non-foolproof way of destroying a planet, well making it uninhabitable for a long time. It’s the type of thing you could actually use in an RP, as it’s vulnerable to attack both from space, and on its less defended underside. Its an excellent space terrorist weapon as it could destroy a colony, or ‘salt’ a planet that you don’t want you conqueror to take from you. It’s all good, I just wanted a proper weapon to take out planets.

That's a really good idea, I like its several ways of destruction, makes a for a hell (no pun intended) of a redundancy system. You're right, it would be easier to blow a hole through a planet with a charged particle beam or something, but this is better when you don't want to destroy the planet. Care to share, willing to pay much...

OOC: Your bid... of whatever is accepted just say how many you want and they'll be shipped. Be aware that puts at least one of your state officials as a shady figure on the Chiant (no danger to them, just makes them slightly shady :D) and Lord Shirassi is not an officially recognised section of Honest Wario Inc, he may not be selling these for too long.

This Bump was provided by Crassuss out of pity for poor Lord Shirassi and the low sales of his weapons
