A weaponized interstellar vessel: a kinetic-kill impactor. The sleek design was intended to minimize hull ablation at relativistic velocities; the intake ramp was built to harvest interstellar hydrogen from a ram-fusion drive. And the matte-black surface coating added for stealth – to push the odds of a successful intercept from low to near-impossibility.
This weapon was why the launching station demanded so much power – why it was constructed in a radiation-saturated environment that would blind long-range sensors.
