This is a terrifying, Star Wars scale notion or the sort of thing that Creator/DouglasAdams might think up if he was having a particularly sadistic day.''

->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.

->''"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."''
