nth Space Planet / Super-Nutcracker
Whereas an inertialess planet in our own space-time continuum cannot break the laws of physics, those from another dimension can. A planet from nth Space fitted with an inertialess drive will travel - even without the inertialess drive - at 15x the speed of light in our own universe. The ultimate planet-killer, only two of these monsters were ever deployed: one against the world of Ploor (which was well and truly annihilated), and one against its sun, which promptly turned into a supernova emitting millions of times Sol's energy. The power of these things is such that, were one to be launched from nth Space without the benefit of Arisian (possibily telekinetic) shielding, the entire universe would collapse around it in zero time - thus making it possibly the only instantaneous universe-killer in science fiction.
