Operation Sledgehammer

Operation Sledge Hammer

United Earth Military project of the Year 2095 (OTT).

The Military advisor to the United Earth Military, appointed by the Guardian : Richard Stahl recommended to destroy the looming Xunx threat by destroying them all while they were still sleeping.

Stahl came up with a plan to eliminate all Xunx at there same time, by building simple robotic space ships with large nuclear war heads to destroy the planets and brood centres of the Xunx. His plan was put into action under the Codename: Operation Steam Roller.

Luna Earth Gears and Ordinance Inc. in association with the newly founded ISAH Labs introduced a Robotic Bomb on January 2095 with a so called Deep Penetrator Warhead and instead of using a Nuclear war head, they opted for a whole kilo of Anti Matter (Anti Matter and Anti matter containment was no relative easy to produce and achieve with the Saran technology and TL 3 knowledge)

To test the effectiveness of this new weapon. It was decided to test it against a relative small Rock and ice planet in the 4.2 LY distant Alpha Centauri System.

Mission parameters:
Launch 4 Robotic Bombs Type RAID from Launch Facility Kuiper X
 * Go to Hyper jump speed  past Uranus Orbit.
 * Arrive at Alpha Centauri
 * Instead of the slow down phase. alter course using Alpha Centauri Sun as course diverter and sling shot and impact on Planet Alpha Centauri 8 (Doomed Rock ).

The Mission was a complete success, all four robotic bombs executed all mission parameters. The added relativistic speed energy by not slowing down after the Hyper Jump achieved even greater penetration than anticipated. Planet Doomed Rock was completely obliterated. Humanity managed to destroy a n entire planet only 5 years after the Ascent.
