@@mervinreyes3008 you mean making giant halo that the size of several hundred galaxy with mass of countless ones? and only purpose is to jump to other universe?
I would love to see a part 2 of this series of videos. Humanity's fixation on planet destroying weapons in science fiction, like its appetite for post apocalyptic fiction. seems to be an integral aspect of our collective psychology that extends across borders and cultures.
A good list so far and I love that you included the Dredj/Titan AE. One more that I see someone else mention was the series "Lexx". The Lexx itself is a living weapon capable of destroying planets by itself. The series also has Mantrid Drones which are basically a von Neuman machine swarm that are capable of tearing apart planets and even stars to construct more Mantrid Drones. They destroyed their universe forcing Lexx to escape to the Dark Universe.
The simple photon Torpedo from Star Trek is a matter anti-matter bomb. It only takes a few to glass the surface of a planet. What’s scary about that is the fact that these ships carry hundreds.
Vorlon planet killer did not destabilize a planet's core. That's what the Shadow death cloud did. Vorlon planet killers broke up a planet into an asteroid field.
I hope The Dregi are on here after all one blast from their Space Station Weapons Platform Destroyed Earth. Respect and i love that Scary Top 10 Spaceship video keep up the epic work.
I'm glad you brought up the Drej in Titan A.E. Unlike many other alien races that attack Earth, but eventually fail, the Drej are actually successful in destroying Earth.
The Drej weapon does not vaporise planets. It burned away the atmosphere then caused Earth to spin faster and faster, until centrifugal force overpowered gravity and the planet flew apart. And what about the Xindi weapon?
Other options: 1) Independence Day Franchise - Alien weapons technology - Commonly referred to as the City Destroyer, it's an energy beam that hypercharges matter to its energy storage limits and then overloads it. Turning the target matter into a WMD-level explosion. Novelizations pointed out that this tech had no known upper limit to the size of matter it could affect, thereby making it a threat to planets as well. 2) Wing Commander - Behemoth and Tembler bombs. The Behemoth was a massive warship designed to operate fairly similarly to the Death Star in function against planets. The tembler bomb was equivalent to the 40K Tectonic Cyclone Torpedoes with one major advantage. Where as the 40K variant is carried only by warships, the Tembler bomb is fighter or bomber deployable.
Fun fact during the Great Hyperspace War, both the Republic and Sith used interplanetary nuclear weapons that could go through HyperSpace, then build up inertia, use that inertia to boost the energy for the blast, when the blast hits a planet it was more ore less the size of the Great Spot on Jupiter, they also had shield to could tank it, but its really unknown, how much of that ancient lore is still a thing, yup they used to Exterminatus each other but taking pot shot with planet killer nukes, the scary part is that some of those weapons are still around in shadow silos
I think The Expanse and Babylon 5 both deserve extra credit for showing the terrifying power of simply throwing rocks at a planet. But bigger than planet-destroying weapons: The Sathanas Juggernauts from Freespace 2 - a fleet of them destroys a star at the end of the game, producing a new nebula. Mantrid from Lexx - a lunatic who creates a fleet of self-replicating zombie robot arm things that tear everything else apart to make more arms, forming mega-structures that consume entire worlds in seconds, eventually transforming an entire universe into more Mantrid drones... ultimately leading to his own defeat because the only thing in the universe is Mantrid drones and he's tricked into bringing them all into one place, which causes their excessive mass to break spacetime.
The Expanse also had the Ring Gate super weapon, which could somehow sterilize solar systems by shooting the star; a sorta bomb/neutron star trap in the ring network loaded up with just enough mass to destroy another solar system within the ring network; the Laconian USM field protector, which was just a disintegration beam; and “The Goths”, an alien race who “somehow” could change the fabric of our reality, such that they could have wiped out the human race in an instant if they knew that certain changes could work.
@@Blackout1945 True, but personally I'm not so impressed by "magic thing uses magic to magically destroy stuff"... more impressed by the dramatic deployment of known and fairly mundane principles to cause massive annihilation.
I suppose SpaceBall 1 in the MegaMaid configuration could be considered one. It doesn't destroy the planet per se, but removing all of the air would definitely make it uninhabitable. Also, there's the Vogon fleet. I mean, they could destroy the planet, or, you know, kill all life on it with their poetry. 🙂 HA! And I just thought of another one: the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator. I mean, it was meant to destroy the Earth, but when actually used, it didn't create anywhere near that level of destruction (Marvin was at ground zero and he survived). 🙂
The Krogan Genophage from Mass Effect. Just because the Salarians tuned it to only limit reproduction doesn't mean they had to. They could have easily dialed it up to completely extinguish the species... and in fact, many of the scientists recommended that exact thing at the time.
You're missing a lot of things, especially Star Trek, like the Kremlin's time ship, the species 8472 bio ship, the Genesis torpedoes, and that time when a guy made multiple stars go supernova.

There are so many more from other fiction sources, like the Inhibitor Star Singer from Revelation Space. It triggers a focused CME and turns a star into a flamethrower. Building it first required multiple moons to be dismantled, their mass being turned into a machine to rip apart a gas giant to access its core
The nova bomb is far more powerful then Nutbug gives it credit for. Nutbug says it can wipe out all life on a planets surface, which is only the tip of the iceberg. When detonated directly on a planet's surface-as was the case on Glyke-the explosion's power was enough to disrupt the planet's structure and overcome the binding energy of its gravity, turning it into a vast cloud of debris and killing every living thing in, on, and around the planet almost instantly

@@adreanmarantz2103 The idea of a Smart Bomb that you literally have to try to talk out of detonating and you have to resort to teaching it Phenomenology is a terrifying planet destroying weapon.
Here's an obscure one: the Stellar Converter from Battle Beyond the Stars. It turns planets into small white dwarf stars, apparently. It has shown up in different forms in the pc game franchise, "Master of Orion"
the Elite universe, at least the first game maybe the 2nd, had something called a Q bomb, a largely illegal weapon deployable by space ships which when used would continue a chain reaction destroying all mass in range, until no more mass can be found. making it overwhelmingly powerful on a planet or in an asteroid or debris field
Eh, how about the Wave Motion Gun from Space Battleship Yamato that happens to be standard weapons for most Wave Motion powered UNCF ships and is perfectly capable of detonating a planet or a sun. And the SC1 Mothership Purifier Beam from canon that can glass entire planets and the SC2 Purifiers Beam weapon at Cybros that cleansed an entire planet. Not to mention in Star Trek, the Romulans literally used ships going FTL speeds to kamikaze into planets in the Federation-Romulan Wars.
I miss Nova bomb from Andromeda: basically, using Dark Energy to destabilize gravity / radiation pressure balance in a star, creating nova and scorching whole solar system.
Just saying the scale of the Nova bomb is solar system sized, its been recorded that the nearby star from places where they were activated gets pushed or even nearly destabilized. Also any habitual planets become no longer habitable in the system.
Star Trek has three more Planet Killer Ships, Species 8472 have the Oceanus Planet Killer and they can Kill a Planet with up to 9 Bioships, Focusing all Their Weapons Power into one Beam, the Iconians have the Iaidon Dreadnought.
Yes to part(s) 2 & 3! Blackstone fortresses & planet killer (40k), sun crusher (star wars). Darth Nihilus could also apply, i suppose, seeing as he could drain all life from a planet single handedly. And the celestial orrary(sp?) of course, considering one could obliterate the entire galaxy with nothing more than a series of finger taps... good thing the necrons aren't into wanton destruction.
Its not mentioned in here, but theres one specific weapon of absolute destruction that does more than destroy one planet, that being the Almighty from the game destiny 2, with some size estimates being up to 34000 kilometers in length, the Almighty was a super weapon designed by an enemy race called yhe cabal, it would destroy a planet, then use said planet in some way to send a solar system's sun into a super nova, destroying the entire solar system. So yeah, while its not mentioned in the video, i think its cool enough that i had to share about it.
Just wanted to add I’ve hear that apparently nibs bombs if detonated next to a star can make it slog supernova and also nova bomb was used to destroy the sister ship of the long night of solace it destroyed the fleet the planet it was orbiting and it’s 3 moons completely
"You forgot, you forgot, you forgot". Listen to the start of the video, dont be so damned critical and just enjoy it! He did a damn good job here, you have a problem? Go make one yourselves!
You forget about the Dakara Supeweapon from Stargate SG1. It is connected to the Stargate network and can wipe all life on any planet it targets and can be used to wipe all life in a galaxy (Apologies if i sounded like a negative critic. I also realize that the video is about planetary Superweapons and Dakara is mainly galactic)
He didn't forget anything. It was obviously a first time attempt to put something out there and he said if successful he'll do more parts. Why do people have to be so damn critical of people's hard work!
@@develynseether4426 I'm just making an observation and did not know how else to phrase it. Hell it was wrong anyway since i noticed that the video is about planetary Superweapons while Dakara is galactic.
"Point Singularity Projector" AKA the black hole gun. Andromeda. Though the PSP is terrifying ... the Magog are even worse. They might classify as a bio-weapon.
The Nova Bomb that he mentioned from Halo was from Andromeda first. That weapon could literally cause a perfect healthy star to go nova, destroying an entire star system.
But what about the one weapon that kind of destroys a planet? I'm talking about the Genesis Device. It DOES destroy the planet it's used on, but then rebuilds it. THough it's kind of iffy, because the only LIVE test used the matter of a nebula instead of a planet, thought the prime thought was that it was the Protomatter that caused the Genesis Planet to blow up.
When he didn't list the Celestial Orrery from 40k I figured it was because it "Technically" doesn't destroy planets, but then he just throws in the sun killing laser from 3body because it subsequently destroys planets, so I guess we are just going to pretend the Orrery doesn't exist then. Also didn't mention the Yamato's Wave-motion Gun or the Little Doctor from Ender's Game, or ANY of the weapons from Planetary Annihilation, I mean come on it in the name
The fun thing about When you read star wars legends, you realize how worthless the death star was 😂 Because of the other weapons , sidious was making and In the Hundred year planned for the empire Eclipse Star Destroyers We're going to replace every star destroyer and Have The same capability as the Death star in power 😅 So practically the death star had no reason to exist, darth sidious. Just did that for fun
The galaxy gun both makes sense and inspires hopelessness since the projectile is basically indestructible, and the World Devastators literally eat the worlds.
Im not gonna lie the death star should be higher, without that rebel spy leaking the weakness the death star wouldn't have been destroyed Also starkiller base shouldve been nearer to the top
Praghasa from Warframe: The New War. Sentient mothership that could consume the sun. Interesting they were never clear if that meant the sun would explode or of the system would literally just lose its star and all the horrible outcomes that brings.
My assumption was consume as in eat the sun. Still either way such an action would have destroyed the whole origin system. Just more slowly with the lack of a sun to provide light, feed plants, gravity well, etc
Arguably the Necromech is more powerful... in that it stands in the way of players even getting to that part of the story with a tedious grind for parts...
You're doing a fantastic job! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Dr Who. Dalek Reality Bomb. Supposed to destroy everything ever created in every possible reality or dimension except for the daleks themselves. No kill like overkill I guess.
Looooong before Babylon5, Warhammer 40K, Starwars, there was the German science fiction series PERRY RHODAN, named after the titular hero Perry Rhodan, a series which started to be published in 1961 and was written by a team of authors. The series is still alive and curently there's the weekly issue 3302 eleased. In the series, names of space crafts, large scale mostly self-aware computer systems and higher up entities are written in all caps. I of course follow their style. In the context of what I write in my comment it must not be confused with internet-screaming. Planet killer 01: In the series, the Arkonides, human aliens, indiectly descendants from the Lemurians, thus humans from outer space, have the Arkon-Bomb. It was a planet killing weapon only deployed in exteme emegency situations or if an ennemy base had been to be destyed for absoolutely sure. This is one of the slower planet killers since it forces the core of the planet to undergoe fusion thus transforming a planet in a miniature sun thus destroying all life. The process can't be stopped but the effects ae so slow, if done correctly, the inhabitants have the chance to evacuate larger populations. Planet Killer 02: The Arkon bomb is the present day version of the older Lemurian Armageddon-Bomb of the same effects but faster. Giga Planet Killer 03 - And more background information: And the Lemuians even had sun systems killer weapon like the Shimada-Space-Rip-Bomb. It was capable to destroy a whole spheriical space of several light years of diameter. This was a last ditch weapn against their deadly enemies the primitive, extremely war-like Halutians who waged a genocidal war against the Lemurians just because they did a few time travel experimentations not knowing that the Halutians back then 52000 years ago had a paranoid fear of time travel, So to the Halutians, the war against the Lemurians, the ancestors of all human aliens and the modern Terrans was a kind of holy war against those "time criminals". The Lemurians lost this over a centuries long war and the Lemurians who remained on Lemur/Earth fell back to the stone age thus making space for the terran history we know until the 20th century which the in-universe history of Terra started to diverge more and more from the real world history. A 25th century Terran who was a member of an esspionage team on Earth/Lemur in the past once jokingly said about the Lemurians, even in the year 92 of this war when Lemur/Earth was still the center of the once galaxy spanning Lemurian Empie. "Stone age savages hunting down mammoths with ray guns, if only my history professor could see that." Moon Landing and a crcle of histoy closes: This culimated into the first manned moon landing done by the US-Space Force under General Lesley Punder and executed by Major Perry Rhodan from the STARDUST moon rocket in 1971. On the Moon, Rhodan and his team disscoverred an Arkonide exploatoy vessel, the spherical 500 meters diameter AETRON with some Arkonides aboard. Only Crest da Zoltra als Thra da Zoltral were active, the others were degenerate video-games addicts. With the aid of the Arkonide technology given to him and his friends and followers by the Arkonide Imperial cief scientist Crest da Zoltal and subsequent adventures Rhodan managed to unify Eath and form the Solar Empire in 1990. In 2404 the Terrans, now under the lead of the now immortal Rhodan and his equally immortal friends (liike Atlan, the Arkonide after whom the sunken island in the Atlantic ocean was named) discovered the truth of the Lemurians during the war with the Masters of the Island from the Andromea Galaxy. Later, the Terras named a large and importat road of Terrania City the capital of the Sola Empire after a Lemurian Admial to honor him, it was Admiral Hakhat Kakcyra and the road was named "Hakhat Kakcyra Drive". Galaxy Ignniter: And even the mighty Lemurian Shimada bomb was like a teeny tiny firecracker against the Galaxy Ignniters in the hands of the higher ups, the Cosmocrats. With a Galaxy igniter, these ultra-higher-ups were able to destroy whole galaxies in no time.
PS: Notable and other known Lemuians during the Lemurian history were: Tamaron Asthron Dopoulis from the city of Olegaris on Lemuria during th era of the Konos Wars. (1). Lavas Rasony, a grizzled war veteran in the time of the Konos Wars. Deshan Apian. A Lemuriann from the city of Marroar on Lemuria. He was a chronist and he witnessed the first manned moon landing in the year 4500 dha-Tamar (2). Mira Lemroth, the wiife of Deshan. She once developed the full speech recognition in Zephalon systems. (2a) Tamaron Noral Atorem, the Lemurian who discoveed the galacto-centic six-sun-matte-transmitter which became the template fo the Lemuian sun-tansmitters. Nevus Mercova-Ban, a maranothar and the Lemurian Tamaron for paraphysical experimentations, stationied in the Hol Annasuntha globula cluster. (3). Admial Drorah. The planet Drorah was named after her. (4) Tamar Touia Kehoe. She was the provincial governor of the Tarlora-Tamanium. (5) Hakhat Kakcya. The Lemruian admial who protected the central galactic sun-transmitter with his 50'000 warships strong fleet. Vlasaák Kakcya, the younger brother of Hakhat, an Admiral too. Levian Paronn, a Lemurian on a mission to save the Kar'Tamanon. He traveled from the 97th year of the war against the Halutians back to 4500 dha-Tamar to save the Lemurians. Belnyse. A Lemuian refugee during the final years of the increasingly despeate defensive war against the genocidal Halutians. She survived onn a remote planet. (1) A Tamaron was a high ranking government official. The Konos were artificially created monstes, Centaurs, Cyclops, Pseudo-Primates and Mermen. It's safe to assume that the Lemurians wouldn't like stories about Ariel the Meermaid. (2) dha-Tamar = Since founding of the Empire. Deshan lived about three or four centuries after the last battles with the Konos. (2a) Zephalon is the name the Lemuians gave computers. (3) Maranothar were high-ranking states officials with special privileges and Hol Annasuntha was the name the Lemuians gave to the meca Centauri globular cluster. (4) The Akons were descendants of the Lemurians, the Arkonides much later were the descendants of the Akons, so the Arkonies are human aliens. (5) Each of these province were in the size of about 1200 Solar Systems which makes each of the 111 star provinces of the Kar'Tamanon at least as large as the Unnited Federation of Planets from the Startrek-Universe. The KAr'Tamanon is the "Greater Empire" of the Lemurians.
The Halo weapons you chose suck... The Halo rings destroy all living matter on a galaxy wide range and the plasma weapons the covenant had glassed the entire surface of any planet they turned them on.
9:56 I'll say what I mean in the replies to give people a chance to avoid spoilers, but you fail to mention something that makes the Dual Vector Foil the most destructive weapon on the list (though I cannot say for the whole of Scifi)
When used, it does not stop continuing to expand and destroy 3 dimensional matter, and it is implied from the lack of attempts to reverse it that it can not be stopped or reversed, meaning the races that have access to the tech need to prepare their race to be safely unfolded to prevent the damage caused by the inevitable unfolding generated by the use Dual Vector Foils.
Forgot the literal namesake of halo: the Halo array that wiped out all neurological connections in the galaxy.
Also, the little doctor from enders game. A beam that suspends molecular cohesion and turns everything to dust. The dield that is produced also expands and creates more fields as it comes in contact with more matter, making its range theoretically infinite.
Yeah he forgot the Little Doctor, though ig that Orson Scott Cards stuff isn't that widely known.

I would say that Mantrid is rather more scary - destroyed an entire universe.
Number 0:The player in stellaris
Guinan's species built the Planet Killer (Doomsday Machine) to destroy the Borg.....
Yes to part(s) 2 & 3! Blackstone fortresses & planet killer (40k), sun crusher (star wars). Darth Nihilus could also apply, i suppose, seeing as he could drain all life from a planet single handedly. And the celestial orrary(sp?) of course, considering one could obliterate the entire galaxy with nothing more than a series of finger taps... good thing the necrons aren't into wanton destruction.
Its not mentioned in here, but theres one specific weapon of absolute destruction that does more than destroy one planet, that being the Almighty from the game destiny 2, with some size estimates being up to 34000 kilometers in length, the Almighty was a super weapon designed by an enemy race called yhe cabal, it would destroy a planet, then use said planet in some way to send a solar system's sun into a super nova, destroying the entire solar system. So yeah, while its not mentioned in the video, i think its cool enough that i had to share about it.
There's also the planet killing bomb from The Outer Limits episode "Charge of the Light Brigade"
Just wanted to add I’ve hear that apparently nibs bombs if detonated next to a star can make it slog supernova and also nova bomb was used to destroy the sister ship of the long night of solace it destroyed the fleet the planet it was orbiting and it’s 3 moons completely
surprised the little dr device from "Ender's Game" did not make the list... other than that, nice list
"You forgot, you forgot, you forgot".
Listen to the start of the video, dont be so damned critical and just enjoy it! He did a damn good job here, you have a problem? Go make one yourselves!
You forget about the Dakara Supeweapon from Stargate SG1. It is connected to the Stargate network and can wipe all life on any planet it targets and can be used to wipe all life in a galaxy
(Apologies if i sounded like a negative critic. I also realize that the video is about planetary Superweapons and Dakara is mainly galactic)
He didn't forget anything. It was obviously a first time attempt to put something out there and he said if successful he'll do more parts.
Why do people have to be so damn critical of people's hard work!
@@develynseether4426 I'm just making an observation and did not know how else to phrase it. Hell it was wrong anyway since i noticed that the video is about planetary Superweapons while Dakara is galactic.
"Point Singularity Projector" AKA the black hole gun. Andromeda.
Though the PSP is terrifying ... the Magog are even worse. They might classify as a bio-weapon.
The Nova Bomb that he mentioned from Halo was from Andromeda first. That weapon could literally cause a perfect healthy star to go nova, destroying an entire star system.
But what about the one weapon that kind of destroys a planet? I'm talking about the Genesis Device. It DOES destroy the planet it's used on, but then rebuilds it. THough it's kind of iffy, because the only LIVE test used the matter of a nebula instead of a planet, thought the prime thought was that it was the Protomatter that caused the Genesis Planet to blow up.
Saving The Lexx for part 2, are we?
3:18 That pause when you speak sentenses makes it hard to listen to you
Eg: deployed by *pause* the im....
You forgot the Nova bomb from Andromeda, a bomb so powerfull that it can destroy entire star systems by creating a supernova from its main star.
Galactus from the Marvel Universe. 😮
The "Nova Bomb" from Andromeda. Blow up an entire star system. Also the probe of Trilithium in Star Trek Generations did the same.
Bomb #20 from Dark Star?
Daleks: (laugh in reality bomb)
I think your description of how the Vorlon Planetkiller was switched between it and the Shadow Planetkiller
Can you include The Super-dimensional Eradication Bomb from the Ultra Series when you make a Part 2
Lmao creator be like telling us to destroy whatever we want like we have regeneration we can keep doing it forever
When he didn't list the Celestial Orrery from 40k I figured it was because it "Technically" doesn't destroy planets, but then he just throws in the sun killing laser from 3body because it subsequently destroys planets, so I guess we are just going to pretend the Orrery doesn't exist then.
Also didn't mention the Yamato's Wave-motion Gun or the Little Doctor from Ender's Game, or ANY of the weapons from Planetary Annihilation, I mean come on it in the name
Mention the cylon basestar in the reimagined series because it was literally designed to destroy the colonies
What about any reflex weapons from Robotech/Macross series along with the neutron-s missile. Then there's the weapon from the Ender series.
Mr frundles in rick and morty
fold weapon from titanfall 2 is also destructive
The fun thing about When you read star wars legends, you realize how worthless the death star was 😂
Because of the other weapons , sidious was making and In the Hundred year planned for the empire Eclipse Star Destroyers We're going to replace every star destroyer and Have The same capability as the Death star in power 😅
So practically the death star had no reason to exist, darth sidious. Just did that for fun
You know what's worse, now a Star destroyer can destroy a planet
They did have a reason to exist though observation, blockade and omnipresent threat that your days can cease to exist at any given moment...
The galaxy gun both makes sense and inspires hopelessness since the projectile is basically indestructible, and the World Devastators literally eat the worlds.
the Almighty from Destiny 2 video game, a masive star ship that destroy stars to erradicate full star systems
When I hear Nova bomb I think of Andromeda.
How about the ring space station from the expanse? It can wipe out entire systems with ease.
Maybe the Almighty from Destiny? Ik it was a star killer but technically it ate a planet to kill a system
The real planet destroyer weapon would be a 2t steel chunk launched at light speed.
These weapons are, by no means, in a particular order.
Hello what about the halo rings in halo
5:43 with a snow planet… how does it not melt..?
You missed Wave Motion Gun fron Star Blazers
Im not gonna lie the death star should be higher, without that rebel spy leaking the weakness the death star wouldn't have been destroyed
Also starkiller base shouldve been nearer to the top
Praghasa from Warframe: The New War. Sentient mothership that could consume the sun. Interesting they were never clear if that meant the sun would explode or of the system would literally just lose its star and all the horrible outcomes that brings.
My assumption was consume as in eat the sun. Still either way such an action would have destroyed the whole origin system. Just more slowly with the lack of a sun to provide light, feed plants, gravity well, etc
Arguably the Necromech is more powerful... in that it stands in the way of players even getting to that part of the story with a tedious grind for parts...
Part 2 should be good
All heil the first order! Glory to the empire.
Unicron from Transformers
You forgot the space battleship Yamato's wave motion cannon.
By itself, no. But if you have say 10 Andromeda class space battleships fire their Wave Motion Guns, yes.
Sadly entries from non-visual media (Xeelee, Culture, Perry Rhodan etc.) are difficult to show in these lists.
3 Body Problem... I've been watching Netflix... I assume there is other medium for this story?
5:56 YAY ÐE GIANT DEATH BUGLE!!!
You're doing a fantastic job! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Dr Who. Dalek Reality Bomb. Supposed to destroy everything ever created in every possible reality or dimension except for the daleks themselves. No kill like overkill I guess.
How about Dr. Device from Ender’s game?
what about the mothership from independence day 2 ?
The Infinity Gauntlet haha
Kaiju proton beam's missing
Looooong before Babylon5, Warhammer 40K, Starwars, there was the German science fiction series PERRY RHODAN, named after the titular hero Perry Rhodan, a series which started to be published in 1961 and was written by a team of authors. The series is still alive and curently there's the weekly issue 3302 eleased.
In the series, names of space crafts, large scale mostly self-aware computer systems and higher up entities are written in all caps. I of course follow their style. In the context of what I write in my comment it must not be confused with internet-screaming.
Planet killer 01:
In the series, the Arkonides, human aliens, indiectly descendants from the Lemurians, thus humans from outer space, have the Arkon-Bomb. It was a planet killing weapon only deployed in exteme emegency situations or if an ennemy base had been to be destyed for absoolutely sure.
This is one of the slower planet killers since it forces the core of the planet to undergoe fusion thus transforming a planet in a miniature sun thus destroying all life. The process can't be stopped but the effects ae so slow, if done correctly, the inhabitants have the chance to evacuate larger populations.
Planet Killer 02:
The Arkon bomb is the present day version of the older Lemurian Armageddon-Bomb of the same effects but faster.
Giga Planet Killer 03 - And more background information:
And the Lemuians even had sun systems killer weapon like the Shimada-Space-Rip-Bomb. It was capable to destroy a whole spheriical space of several light years of diameter. This was a last ditch weapn against their deadly enemies the primitive, extremely war-like Halutians who waged a genocidal war against the Lemurians just because they did a few time travel experimentations not knowing that the Halutians back then 52000 years ago had a paranoid fear of time travel,
So to the Halutians, the war against the Lemurians, the ancestors of all human aliens and the modern Terrans was a kind of holy war against those "time criminals".
The Lemurians lost this over a centuries long war and the Lemurians who remained on Lemur/Earth fell back to the stone age thus making space for the terran history we know until the 20th century which the in-universe history of Terra started to diverge more and more from the real world history.
A 25th century Terran who was a member of an esspionage team on Earth/Lemur in the past once jokingly said about the Lemurians, even in the year 92 of this war when Lemur/Earth was still the center of the once galaxy spanning Lemurian Empie.
"Stone age savages hunting down mammoths with ray guns, if only my history professor could see that."
Moon Landing and a crcle of histoy closes:
This culimated into the first manned moon landing done by the US-Space Force under General Lesley Punder and executed by Major Perry Rhodan from the STARDUST moon rocket in 1971.
On the Moon, Rhodan and his team disscoverred an Arkonide exploatoy vessel, the spherical 500 meters diameter AETRON with some Arkonides aboard. Only Crest da Zoltra als Thra da Zoltral were active, the others were degenerate video-games addicts.
With the aid of the Arkonide technology given to him and his friends and followers by the Arkonide Imperial cief scientist Crest da Zoltal and subsequent adventures Rhodan managed to unify Eath and form the Solar Empire in 1990.
In 2404 the Terrans, now under the lead of the now immortal Rhodan and his equally immortal friends (liike Atlan, the Arkonide after whom the sunken island in the Atlantic ocean was named) discovered the truth of the Lemurians during the war with the Masters of the Island from the Andromea Galaxy.
Later, the Terras named a large and importat road of Terrania City the capital of the Sola Empire after a Lemurian Admial to honor him, it was Admiral Hakhat Kakcyra and the road was named "Hakhat Kakcyra Drive".
Galaxy Ignniter:
And even the mighty Lemurian Shimada bomb was like a teeny tiny firecracker against the Galaxy Ignniters in the hands of the higher ups, the Cosmocrats. With a Galaxy igniter, these ultra-higher-ups were able to destroy whole galaxies in no time.
PS: Notable and other known Lemuians during the Lemurian history were:
Tamaron Asthron Dopoulis from the city of Olegaris on Lemuria during th era of the Konos Wars. (1).
Lavas Rasony, a grizzled war veteran in the time of the Konos Wars.
Deshan Apian. A Lemuriann from the city of Marroar on Lemuria. He was a chronist and he witnessed the first manned moon landing in the year 4500 dha-Tamar (2).
Mira Lemroth, the wiife of Deshan. She once developed the full speech recognition in Zephalon systems. (2a)
Tamaron Noral Atorem, the Lemurian who discoveed the galacto-centic six-sun-matte-transmitter which became the template fo the Lemuian sun-tansmitters.
Nevus Mercova-Ban, a maranothar and the Lemurian Tamaron for paraphysical experimentations, stationied in the Hol Annasuntha globula cluster. (3).
Admial Drorah. The planet Drorah was named after her. (4)
Tamar Touia Kehoe. She was the provincial governor of the Tarlora-Tamanium. (5)
Hakhat Kakcya. The Lemruian admial who protected the central galactic sun-transmitter with his 50'000 warships strong fleet.
Vlasaák Kakcya, the younger brother of Hakhat, an Admiral too.
Levian Paronn, a Lemurian on a mission to save the Kar'Tamanon. He traveled from the 97th year of the war against the Halutians back to 4500 dha-Tamar to save the Lemurians.
Belnyse. A Lemuian refugee during the final years of the increasingly despeate defensive war against the genocidal Halutians. She survived onn a remote planet.
(1) A Tamaron was a high ranking government official. The Konos were artificially created monstes, Centaurs, Cyclops, Pseudo-Primates and Mermen. It's safe to assume that the Lemurians wouldn't like stories about Ariel the Meermaid.
(2) dha-Tamar = Since founding of the Empire. Deshan lived about three or four centuries after the last battles with the Konos.
(2a) Zephalon is the name the Lemuians gave computers.
(3) Maranothar were high-ranking states officials with special privileges and Hol Annasuntha was the name the Lemuians gave to the meca Centauri globular cluster.
(4) The Akons were descendants of the Lemurians, the Arkonides much later were the descendants of the Akons, so the Arkonies are human aliens.
(5) Each of these province were in the size of about 1200 Solar Systems which makes each of the 111 star provinces of the Kar'Tamanon at least as large as the Unnited Federation of Planets from the Startrek-Universe. The KAr'Tamanon is the "Greater Empire" of the Lemurians.
Dual vector Foil WINS!!!!! easy!!!! TIER S
How about little doctor from Enders Game.
Genesis from Gundam Seed
This typa shi be normal in stellaris 😂
you didn't mention NOVA bomb from "andromeda ascended" kills planet systems
Technically destroys the stars which in turn might destroy most if not all planets in the system.
The Halo weapons you chose suck... The Halo rings destroy all living matter on a galaxy wide range and the plasma weapons the covenant had glassed the entire surface of any planet they turned them on.
9:56 I'll say what I mean in the replies to give people a chance to avoid spoilers, but you fail to mention something that makes the Dual Vector Foil the most destructive weapon on the list (though I cannot say for the whole of Scifi)
When used, it does not stop continuing to expand and destroy 3 dimensional matter, and it is implied from the lack of attempts to reverse it that it can not be stopped or reversed, meaning the races that have access to the tech need to prepare their race to be safely unfolded to prevent the damage caused by the inevitable unfolding generated by the use Dual Vector Foils.
"Star killer" is from fanfiction. The starwars weapon is the sun crusher. And its different
What are you talking about?? Star Killer Base is from the movies. Of course its canon!
The movies are Disney fan fiction. Not connon
15 Terrifying Planet Destroying Weapons in Fiction. So no planet destroying weapons from novels?
