Planetkiller

	A specialized warhead capable of sundering a world. Operating principles are only dimly understood and are thought to involve utilizing the world's spin and some form of resonance. This one is safed and requires authorization codes, possibly long-lost, to become anything more than a complicated, but completely inert piece of machinery.
–In-Game Description

The Planetkiller is a quest-exclusive item. It cannot be used, sold on markets or placed in storage, but can be turned in to certain factions for rewards.

One planetkiller can be found in the Sector; the mission "The Scythe of Orion" leads to it.

In the Sector's history, planetkillers were used on the inhabited worlds of Opis and Hanan Pacha by unknown parties, among other incidents. The Hegemony and Tri-Tachyon are known to have possessed planetkillers at least one point.
