Actually a planet can never be blown up - blown apart yes, but not blown up.

Congrats on spelling Planet !

With the exeption of the Sa-matra, the Ur-quan do not have the ablilty to cause that kind of destruction.

Well. Seeing that we have nukes in this day and age. Imagine a bomb 10 times more powerful than that. Now imagine dozens of them all going to one target. (Kaboom)

Actually we don't know what we'd get, since we have never tried to blow up a planet yet.

Take a look at all the test nukes that went off - What happened? It blew things apart. It did not vaporize them.

Oh. haha. Sorry misunderstanding. I never meant to imply that Sedna would have been vaporised by the Urquan attack, I meant that it was destroyed. It could have been blown apart, it could have been 'relocated' or it could have been vaporised.

How would you relocate it? If you did it "just by firing nukes" then you might send it on the wrong trajectory. Earths defences could never stop that!
