I thought Trans-Ballistic Whale missles would be a bit more effective.

But orbital cacti bombardment works so much better. both fear factor wise and everything. They drop in, in a saboe, get released, and about 15ft above the ground explode in a shower of razor sharp tungsten carbide needles that are probably traveling more than mach 1.

I mean you see large green balls, that you quickly realize are cacti falling from the sky, and then get decimated by them. I'd fear the sky after that. I mean mother nature must be pissed if shes throwing cactus at you.

Pfft, orbital petunia drops ftw

Why not cacti? A flower does nothing, a cactus can do anything it puts it's mind to.

Oh, the petunias were a counterpoint to scar's whales, in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy two giant missiles are transformed into a blue whale and a potted petunia

and after that you could usekitsune space marines in drop pods!

Read my above comment, and yea...possibly. Not a bad idea.

of course how else are you going to conquer the world after softening them up a bit ne? kitsune adeptus astartes is the way to go! bwahaha!!

give it enough delta v and anything that survives reentry ought to make a fairly nice big hole wherever it hits.
i seem to recall there was some kind of digimon cactus thing.
pick up a rock near the outermost planetary orbits and accelerate to near light. i seem to remember chenur making that threat against, i forget if it was the kifff world or her own.
anyway in cherreh's "chenur's homecomming" (conclusion of the series that began with pride of chanur").
