"Where did I hear of you, you ask? How could I not? Do you know what my earliest memory is, o' alicorn of the night? You should find it interesting, I imagine," he said with a cruel laugh. "Stars. I remember stars falling from the sky. For years on end—a never-ending torrent of fire and rock the likes of which no dragon could ever aspire to. You died, and the world died with you. That is where I heard of alicorns."

"At exactly 7:14 AM, on June the 30th, 1908, an asteroid 10 meters in diameter entered the Earth's atmosphere and exploded with the force of a 12 megaton bomb. A column of fire rose twenty kilometers in the sky, as hot and as bright as the sun. The entire forest below was incinerated and blown flat. The shockwave circumnavigated the Earth. Twice.
Now we have our friend 6748. When it hits, the one-thousand megaton blast will raise an impenetrable cloud of dust that will obliterate the sun for twenty years or more. The temperature on Earth will fall below freezing, and stay there. The air will be filled with dirt and toxins. Within a short time, all plant, animal...and human life will be gone."

The Daleks want to fire a thousand planets at fifty times the speed of light at Gallifrey. That's a hell of a punch in the face... I tell you what, Nick Briggs knows how to think BIG.

During the War of Dakka, Warlord Grog takes battle to the Tau-held world of Atari Vo in the most direct manner he can devise — by propelling a titanic dagger-shaped asteroid he uses as his base through the atmosphere and plunging its burning tip straight in the Tau capital city. Several million of Atari Vo's Tau populace were already dead before Grog and his Dakka elite step out of the asteroid's shieldcore and began the War of Dakka in earnest.

O God of void! I now declare the defeat of human wisdom. With our eyes old, with our limbs fragile, our knowledge has stagnated. As the last human, our manifold determinations, our multitude of frustrations, and all our prosperities, I hereby judge null. By means of this blow, the gods shall be struck down. Ring the bell of reform! Grand Order / Anima Animusphere!
