impossible (effective skill 1 or less), and the secondary effects are
survivable for vehicles, if not for powered armor. Besides, if you drop
the Space Marines, you want something left of the planet. Otherwise the
Space Force will handle it form orbit.
The main gun is an antiparticle beam, BTW. Big bang, relatively modest power
use. Otherwise, I would have taken a fusion gun.
I just thought of David Weber's Mutineer's Moon series and wondered if
GURPS TL13 allows for offensive hyperdrive weapons.
Can a grav tank generate a hyper field or warp field around a target and
drop it either into deep space or as fragments of disassociated
particles? Such a weapon could be used on an area and not do *too* much
damage to the planet. It would just be missing a spherical chunk.
If the field can only be generated from the center perhaps a
missile/drone could be fitted with a hyperdrive, launched toward the
target and set off.
