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.
gollark: Any aliens capable of crossing interstellar distances to get to Earth can almost certainly deal with the asteroid thing.
