gollark: Oh, and they need good shielding against high-velocity particles, which might work okay against some weapons fire.

gollark: Any drive capable of bringing you up to ridiculous fractions of lightspeed will have a horribly dangerous exhaust, the power sources necessary could also run tons of weapons, and you can use said drive things to, I don't know, accelerate asteroids to high velocities and crash them into planets.

gollark: Ah, but their ships themselves would have to be weapons to travel interstellarly.

gollark: Technologically speaking.

gollark: What? Basically everything can be reapplied as weaponry somehow.
