Size of the craft had to be larger than Mars and those two moons were far smaller than Mars so craft was the largest... throw sun at them.. not that changes things..
I don't think whoever designed the ship considered the possibility of some crazy species weaponizeing celestial bodies by straping engines on moons and use them as improvised projectiles. That's the thing, when you use strats and tactics others wouldn't even try or write off as impossible then you have high odds of success because no one sees it coming and as such have no meaningful amount of time formulate a counter.
Part of what made the strategy successful is using the gravity of the enemies battle station as an accelerant lessening the fuel cost and increasing the speed. It was tailor made to counter the Losts prime weapon.

Well, you make some good points. To be honest, I may just be playing devils advocate to your position at this point but space is huge; we struggle to find rogue planets even in our own corner of space and even highly energetic phenomena like neutron stars. With the vast resources at the disposal of an interstellar civilization like the Stellar League, we would surely be able to search more of space but to say there’s nowhere to hide is grossly inaccurate. Moreover, even if it takes the remaining Last tens of thousands of years to recover, any competent civilization considers matters of the distant future as much as their resources and short-term conditions can possibly allow; especially once they grow to the scale of star systems and stellar clusters, though frankly we should start worrying about our future even as a mere planetary warring nations society. My point is that the Human society made a good call in this hypothetical war because a substantial relief and aid effort post-war combined with some very good diplomatic maneuvering may well be sufficient to ensure that the Last never go back to being space nazis. If the Craft were captured or destroyed, any surviving Last would invariably see this as an unforgivable hypocrisy. “So you don’t like genocide, you say? There’s only a few tens of thousands of us left!” The culture shock and internal conflict would eventually wear off, and that can be helped along by admittedly great effort on the part of the Stellar League. Besides, they’re so cute when they aren’t space nazis. LOL. you can’t honestly say you don’t want a talking space kitty as a friend.

FYI the 57mm gun in the mosquito was adapted from the 6lb anti-tank gun which was in common use. The big change was the addition of a 21-round auto-loader. The 6lb could penetrate the front armour of a PzIV at 100m (which is definitely not practical!). However, it means that it could penetrate the rear armour of just about any German tank of the period. Firing this from an aircraft had increased its effective muzzle velocity.
"they threw their MOONS at us?!" Yup, we mooned you pretty damn well. Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house- and especially don't throw them at the species that's been throwing stuff since day one.

erm...sorry, I'm a bit confused here: why exactly is the person piloting a warship the size of a planet not only not thinking of actions that can be taken on a planetary scale but also utterly flabbergasted by their opponent chucking a couple of miniature moons at their ship? they just mentioned a frigging Dyson Array a minute earlier, point that thing at a planet and now you have a rocket engine half the size of a planet pushing that planet, point that thing at the incoming planet-sized warship and it stops being a problem in fairly short order, attacking this system with their described forces against it's described resources is utter suicide, hell, by the sounds of how things were going the only reason just facing the conventional fleet portion of the system's defenses wasn't a suicidal proposition was because the defenders were going to extreme effort to disable instead of destroy.

A waste of resources and lives that would be put to much better use improving both sides, or facilitating trade between them.
boring
@@lupaswolfshead9971 If you're bored, play a game or write a story. If you want to do those things for a job, do so.
all I can see is on those moons the words RIP AND TEAR had been painted.
lol
Then i don't see why the fuck Samuled didn't just make second BFG 10K,if it can shoot a hole into the surcace of Mars then two would be just fine against bigass space station
The good ol' halley engine. A completely ridiculous weapon but an effective one none the less.
FYI the 57mm gun in the mosquito was adapted from the 6lb anti-tank gun which was in common use. The big change was the addition of a 21-round auto-loader. The 6lb could penetrate the front armour of a PzIV at 100m (which is definitely not practical!). However, it means that it could penetrate the rear armour of just about any German tank of the period. Firing this from an aircraft had increased its effective muzzle velocity.
ayy lmao we mooned the queen.
lol , twice!
8:16 FROM THE DEPTH OF HELL IN SILENCE
CAST THEIR SPELLS EXPLOSIVE SILENCE
RUSSIAN NIGHT TIME FLIGHT PERFECTED
FLAWLESS VISION, UNDETECTED
@@ergonamix9977 A person of culture I see
"they threw their MOONS at us?!"
Yup, we mooned you pretty damn well.
Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house- and especially don't throw them at the species that's been throwing stuff since day one.
Also, a few more quips for the situation:
We pitched you quite the curve ball.
8-ball, center pocket!
"Let's give them the fast ball special!"
"Use the force, Luke."
"When I was in the Marine Corp, they gave us 2 sticks and a rock, for the whole platoon- and we had to share the rock!"
Operation: I don’t want to see that anymore will commence in an hour
We got where we are by learning how to throw rocks. If it works it works.
We threw 2 big balls of fear right up their backside.
The ultimate mooning!!
🌕
reminds me of a old batman cartoon episode.
poker game with all of the villans
one says
"Batman was snooping around. he was getting closer and closer...
"And?"
"I THREW A ROCK AT HIM!"
(Some Guy on Mars) - Hey remember that really old movie Infinity War?
(Other Guy on Mars) - Ya What about it.
(Some Guy on Mars) - I have a good idea!
Fear the Human words "hold my beer"
gives a whole new meaning to "mooning" your enemy....
Tony stark: What? First time someone tried throwing a moon at you?
As usual, we throw rocks. Really big rocks.
For the Author(s), for the narrator Agro Squirrel, for the algorithm !!!
Thats a new way of getting mooned
🌕
erm...sorry, I'm a bit confused here: why exactly is the person piloting a warship the size of a planet not only not thinking of actions that can be taken on a planetary scale but also utterly flabbergasted by their opponent chucking a couple of miniature moons at their ship?
they just mentioned a frigging Dyson Array a minute earlier, point that thing at a planet and now you have a rocket engine half the size of a planet pushing that planet, point that thing at the incoming planet-sized warship and it stops being a problem in fairly short order, attacking this system with their described forces against it's described resources is utter suicide, hell, by the sounds of how things were going the only reason just facing the conventional fleet portion of the system's defenses wasn't a suicidal proposition was because the defenders were going to extreme effort to disable instead of destroy.
It is very fitting for wars in these kinds of stories to be fought above Mars, the god of war.
And Phobos, 'fear' to render the enemies offense useless
Hmm that is one way of getting a larger moon for Mars and help with the terraforming.
Would be extremely difficult to hide in the asteroid belt. Average distance between any two objects is 600,000 miles.
Beautiful use of what is in essence nothing more than fire ships.
"Sorry, but we're better at this than you"
Jajaja, I saw that coming the moment the author say that the ship disturbed the orbit of phobos and deimos
OK, the moons were a surprise. I was expecting MAC rounds.
rule 1 of space: dont touch the drug monkeys
To quote another story:
To be fair, we're *really* good at throwing rocks.
Hermes, the messenger of the gods and a thief lmao
fitting
I'm surprised it wasn't the kitchen sink. They're lucky.
For the Forking Squerril
For Argo
For the algorithm
Eh this reminds me of the solar war in 40k where some came up with the idea to transform Pluto into the biggest ship mine ever ... yes they used a dwarf planet as mine ... YEET
And to think,this is us trying to NOT to kill yet
yarp , its a "warning" shot
Humans: They'll hit you with a moon.
*FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL IN SILENCE CAST THEIR SPELLS EXPLOSIVE VIOLENCE!*
Hmmm... Roosevelt. Franklin or Theodore. Offhand I'd say Theodore. "Speak softly, but carry a big stick." Seems someone just learned the hard way that Humans like to throw rocks, the bigger, the better.
The first rule in attacking humans is Don't it is a really bad idea.
Why wouldn't we throw moons at you. . . Where the boats not a big enough hint?
Humans: F with us and we'll throw a moon or two at you
The Last Have now SMEEEEELLLED WHAT THE ROCKS WERE COOKING!!!!!!!!!
lol
"the one that was part of the insert name here" someone forgot to proof read xD
"FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL IN SILENCE!!!"
"we finna smash this ship like someone smashing open a rock"
Gorkamorka * seal of approval *
:)
And we'll do it again
Well that is some Luddic path move
We'll give you the one finger salute
Moon go woooosh!!
Doom of the Spanish Armada Part II: In the Void
This is the second one I've heard where we win by throwing rocks
space trolling with moons
I've been waiting for so long to that last sentence , thank you it's so beautiful 😢
glad you liked
