Attacks using kinetic weapons generate immense destructive power, but their drawback lies in the difficulty of increasing projectile velocity. For instance, the projectiles fired by this Light Exploration Vessel reached a maximum speed of 0.6 times the speed of light, with a two-second interval between each shot. Furthermore, accelerating a 100-gram projectile to 0.6 times the speed of light required a colossal amount of energy.
Therefore, waging war meant burning money, and warfare in the cosmic era demanded an even higher cost.
The most lethal weapons equipped on the exploration vessel were antimatter missiles, a single one of which was capable of annihilating a Solar System. In addition, there were gravity compression missiles, nuclear bombs, absolute zero freezing missiles, and magnetic radiation missiles, among various other types designed to cope with different environments and enemies.
