Interstellar Weapon: Difference between revisions

== Literature ==

* In ''[[The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'', a [[Planet of Hats|race]] of [[Omnicidal Maniac|nihilistic]] aliens builds a weapon that supposedly could destroy the rest of the universe.

* [[Alan Dean Foster]] is fond of this trope, most prominently in his ''[[Humanx Commonwealth]]'' series, which features a wide assortment of [[Lost Superweapon|Lost Superweapons]] left scattered around the cosmos by various [[Precursors]]. The two greatest examples show up in the [[Grand Finale]], ''Flinx Transcendent'', and include a weapons platform whose [[Wave Motion Gun]] fires through [[Subspace or Hyperspace|subspace]] across galaxies, and an even bigger superweapon whose power source ''is'' a galaxy (indeed, multiple galaxies).

* In [[Arthur C. Clarke (Creator)]]'s ''Sunstorm'', the titular event is caused by a planetoid hurled across the galaxy.
