We cannot simply throw away the billion-kidney institute that's our Planetary Elimination; Nullifying International Society, Or P.E.N.I.S for short. Leave my P.E.N.I.S alone and don't you dare touch it!

I'm sorry but international law may be forced to touch your P.E.N.I.S.

Trans: Our P.E.N.I.S. is the country's pride and joy. If it's to encounter any sort of shrinkage we would be ashamed for generations. Our P.E.N.I.S. is needed to penetrate the forces of frequently hostile neighboring planets, and anything thrust upon it must be eliminated. For the sake of StanStanStanStanStan, the P.E.N.I.S. must GROW!

I completely agree.

A Trilithium Torpedo would be quite sufficient to shoot down a typical star and cause a collapse.

Mind you if you want to hide your actions, time traveling backwards in time to the nearest high mass highly rotating star with a minor spin dizzy adjustment to the angle and minor incentive to get the star to super / hyper nova in such a manner as to direct the gamma ray pulse to the offending planet, might generally go unnoticed as an "act of god."

Or you could just "accidentally" open up a wormhole in the core of their planet that leads to the event horizon of a black hole. Totally painless, totally accidental, totally effective.

No no no, absolutely the wrong way to do it. The gravitational pull will suck you in from your end of the wormhole, and you're dead. A better way to do it is (DELETED BY THE ORDER OF THE WRAPPERIAN PRESIDENT. AMBASSADOR, REMEMBER YOU REPRESENT A PACIFIST NATION. ONE MORE VIOLATION AND YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO RECALL.)

I'll build Death Stars if I damn well want to

Too expensive and too easy to kill. Not to mention, they can only be in one place at a time.

Build Siege ships, lol. They are little more than a frigate with a torsion (space-time distortion) cannon built down the middle. You can mass produce them to the extreme, and each can do the same amount of damage in the same amount of time.

As the weaponry on the Allied Kepler Union's primary starship classes is capable of planetary destruction, it is impossible for the Allied Kepler Union to follow the guidelines laid out in this resolution without getting rid of our entire Starfleet and putting trillions of our people out of work. Furthermore, we are completely defenseless without our positron-enhanced antiproton weapons. Therefore, we are forced to vote against this resolution. One against the act of planetary annihilation would be acceptable to us.

The Supreme Army of the Dirt Roads has voted for this resolution on grounds of international and interplanetary goodwill. The Dirt Roads has no present need for this form of dangerous activity and we condemn its misuse, and the resolution specifically exempts ownership and production of existing military resources.

In the neverending cause of MORE violins on TV, Eumantia stands firmly against this proposition.

As this resolution would outlaw anti-matter torps and anti-matter bombs, the standard weapons of the Dread Empire's starships, we have no choice but to vote AGAINST this resolution, though the Consulate agrees with the resolution's sentiment.

It doesn't do that. It outlaws the use of large anti matter bombs on planets if the bomb would kill half its population.

Imperium Californium shall oppose this attempt to impinge upon national governments. We already have such legislation, but it is solely on planetary bodies containing sentient beings. Locations bearing no sentient life is not within our purbue to care. Except insofar as the natural biological resources prove to be as valuable for our exploitation as non-biological resources. In other words, if we can use it...we don't annihalate it. Pretty logical all on its own, isn't it?

Therefore, we view this potential legislation to be spurious and redundant.

WE VOTE AGAINST

So... ummm... you're okay with some other nation, which has no such legislation, blowing up your home planet?

Indeed.
Defwa's nuclear drone arsenal is only backup. We do honestly believe that peace will exist once people learn of the folly that is violence- just as the people of Defwa did.

"And some people trusted leaders when they said they were about peace, until the weapons were gone, and their people oppressed, and it took a violent revolution to regain freedom. Peace is not always the correct way."

Peace, as you describe it, will never exist, for there will always exist a modicum of beings who have not yet learned. In addition, war is, unfortunately, one of the most simplest methods of wealth distribution out there - kill some people and take their stuff. (Ironically it works equally well with your own people.) Baring unpopular plagues or racial/class exterminations, it's the best way to significantly reduce a surplus population while leaving all the population's wealth for redistribution.

Against.

This resolution kills off our core tactic in interplanetary warfare. Grabbing large asteroids so we can stick engines on them and then throwing them at people along with fleets of MIRVs.

Trans: Is our P.E.N.I.S a joke to you, sir? I'll have you know our P.E.N.I.S is NO laughing matter. The P.E.N.I.S is a vital part of the economy of our rich planet, and without the girth of the P.E.N.I.S we would suffer. I am dead serious about maintaining the strength of the P.E.N.I.S. for making it flaccid would simply plunge StanStanStanStanStan into ruins under the weight of the P.E.N.I.S!
