Assembly Authorized Weapons

Assembly Authorized Weapon  – These are mass destruction weapons capable of destroying  celestial real estate  up to and including  stars. Because they are so destructive, release authority for use in war is retained by  The Assembly. Once released for use only a few  admirals  such as  Stahl ,  Mc Elligott  and perhaps 6 - 10 others are allowed to order their use. Who and how many may do so is classified, although Stahl is known to have  ordered their use  in the past.

Weapons in this class include:

Nul Gooto-U Graviton Mines

Planet Crust Penetrator Weapon (aka Core Busters)

Mega Bomb – Deep Core

The old wisdom : "With power comes responsibility" was  discussed in an Assembly session ater the successful testing of the United Stars Space Force new robot bomb "BALL BREAKER " (Part of the "LETHAL BLOW " program.

Several representatives warned that such weapons are morall objectable and should only be used as very last resort. Others pointed out that the burden or decission to use world and sun destroying weapons; or weapons designed to exerminate an entire civilization (Genocide) should not rest with one individual,[1] but made by he Union as a society,

The discussion resulted in the Assembly Authorized Weapon Act of 5008 OTT .

The act specifies weapons of any kind (including biological weapons) capable of such destruction must only be used if the Assembly via a Union Imminent vote orders the use or athorizes the Union Military to use them.

In 5010 OTT, P-Bombs and Planet Igniter bombs were added.

The Act was extended to the Exo load cannons of the USS Devastator . The cannons were restricted to be used against occupied planets, as several salvos could destroy a planet. No Assembly restrictions were placed t use these cannons against unoccuiped planets or artificial targets.

[1] If Total war is declared, this Authorization is included and the Commander in Chief can order the use of such weapons.
