!Mass Driving The technique of accelerating large masses (say a sizable asteroid) towards a planet. The resulting impact is usually exceptionally devastating. All human polities have outlawed the practice against human-inhabited worlds under the [Treaty of Geneva]. Originally this would have been done using a specialised [Mass Driver Ship]. Mass driving was used extensively against the [Exterminators]. In the case of the attack on the huge Exterminator Base on [Red Spot] during [Operation Gabriels Trumpet] the asteroid impacts caused crustal cracking and massive x-ray energy emmissions.
