So that's what it was. I had no idea, and neither did MemnarchOh, I just got the Blade Runner reference, with the Cataclysm Beam (C-Beam) being "glittery". Sneaking it in under cover of the obvious reference, very clever. :)
Also, Kudo's to Memnarch for remembering that scene from Schlock, because as you recall, *that's exactly what Credomar turned out to be!*.Cataclysm Beam sounds very impressive, though it's lacking that alliterative appeal for the name for me. Maybe something like the Cataclysm Cannon if that's not been used before.
So, what if this hyperspace modulator is less about moving a *ship* through hyperspace, and more about moving a *beam of energy* through hyperspace? Suddenly, all the impracticalities of aiming the peace moon are gone.
It now can threaten peace over the whole galaxy.
"Peace or else".
... OMG, the empire really is bringing peace to the galaxy. They are the good guys.
