Star Killing	comment	So you've got a star. Main sequence type, more or less middle of its life-cycle, nothing special. Probably has an inhabited planet or two orbiting it. Of course, the Evil (Space!) Empire wants the people on the planet(s) dead. They could just carpet bomb the planet or maybe even blow it up, but instead they decide to go for broke. When a faction or character goes Star Killing they go about ending a star's life in any of a variety of ways that dooms all life in the system to a Class X-2 Apocalypse How. On the lower end of the scale, the sun may have the equivalent of food coloring added, changing the visible spectrum (and radiation) it emits, killing or weakening all life and/or sentients. This is the equivalent of changing Earth's sun from power-granting yellow to kryptonite green for Superman. In the middle range of the scale, the sun could be "poisoned", such that it ages several billion years. This is frequently done by applying enough firepower to the sun to cause it to go supernova, but the other wayâ€”depleting the sun's hydrogen content and making it a cold dwarf star, or making it impossible for the sun to conduct hydrogen fusionâ€”is also possible. Finally, at the high end of the scale, the sun could be "collapsed" into a singularity (atypical for the mass of many suns) or "eaten" from the inside out by a singularity that is shot into it. Interestingly, whatever means are used to kill the star might not harm any other stellar body it's aimed at. This is especially true for the "fusion-stopping" type poisons. If this poisoning takes long enough, the heroes may be able to apply a Magic Antidote, administer life-saving Solar CPR, or use an extremely powerful World-Healing Wave on the star. See also Unrealistic Black Hole. Interesting: even though immediate aging of a star is extremely unlikely, it is theoretically possible to increase the speed of a normal star's aging. Usually, most matter within a star is a hydrogen/helium mixture, and most of the star's life cycle it fuses hydrogen into helium. However, a tiny part of the star's mass consists of carbon-nitrogen-oxygen, which transform into each other through the CNO cycle, catalyzing (i.e. accelerating) the burning of hydrogen. So, dump enough carbon or nitrogennote Not ordinary oxygen. Any time O16 appears in its ground state, that particular participant in the CNO cycle ends. into an average starnote The CNO cycle won't run at all if the star isn't massive enough to trigger catalyzed fusion in its core. It takes at least 1.3 solar masses for the CNO cycle to become its dominant energy source. The prime candidates for adding carbon or nitrogen would be massive, old stars that formed before the interstellar medium became enriched with heavy elements. and it probably will age faster AND burn hotter.note That may be the natural conclusion, but in Real Life, the opposite would happen. Upon the initial boost in fusion, the star would expand, slowing down the fusion reaction. Gravity would be weaker as well. A new stable equilibrium estimated to be reached millions of years later would be reached where fusion would occur at the slower rate sufficient to balance the weaker gravity. Stellar fusion would slow down. Of course, while the star may not explode and incinerate its planets, the effects of that in the climate of life-bearing ones orbiting it, not to mention in something as fragile at such scales as a developed biosphere, is another topic The effect won't be immediate, though. The mixing of star matter is slow, and distribution of additions will take many years, maybe even ages. It is also theorized that there are additives that will catalyze proton decay or otherwise work faster in same way.note i.e. slower in the longer term And, if you talk about a civilization able to manipulate black holes, then by launching a small one into a star it can create an unusual object: a black hole in a dense cocoon of plasma, that will glow incredibly hot. See also The Stars Are Going Out, which is about what happens when someone on Earth watches stars getting killed. Compare Earth-Shattering Kaboom, Planet Destroyer and Detonation Moon. Not to be confused with Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?, though this trope may be a possible topic for that one.

Star Killing / int_114e569f	comment	Rihannsu: The Romulan Way states that the capital of the Inshai Compact, an interstellar civilization active when the Vulcans were in the Information Age (roughly the time of ancient Greece's heyday on Earth), was destroyed by a sunkiller bomb, which allowed the progenitors of the Orion pirates to rise to prominence and begin raiding Vulcan. This eventually led to the Sundering between the Vulcans who followed Surak and the proto-Romulans who followed S'task. In The Empty Chair Scotty attempts to create a technobabble link between two uninhabited stars, allowing him to technobabble one star to defeat use of a Romulan solar flare-generating technology called Sunseed against the other. He accidentally causes both stars to prematurely collapse into red dwarfs. One of the book's other plotlines concerns a Romulan attempt to blow up Sol and cut the heart out of the Federation, which is defeated by Scotty getting it right and forging a link between Sol and the Romulan sun Eisn.

Star Killing / int_1469522d	comment	In Sunless Skies, this is the reason the skies are now sunless - the stars aren't just going out, they're actively being hunted down and destroyed in a cosmic revolution. The game's tagline includes the phrase "murder a sun". You yourself can murder the sun of the Blue Kingdom; the Garden-King (the sun of the Reaches), the sun of Albion, and half of Eleutheria's binary system died through various non-natural means before the game starts. Ambition: Truth gives you an explanation of what's going on. Turns out this is the natural state of suns - they're constantly plotting to kill one another, and have set up a system to cover up this fact to every other being in the universe. It's really hard for humans to kill a star, but it's not all that difficult for the stars themselves to murder each other.

Star Killing / int_14c5787a	comment	In Competitors, the Seekers get their hands on Matter Replicator plans for an Extinguisher, a missile capable of blowing up a star that the creators of the Platform have, for some reason, left in the station's databanks. The weapon requires a certain rare metal and must be carried by a sufficiently large ship. After replicating the Extinguisher, the Seekers mount it on their largest ship, a Prime, and threaten the people on the Platform with it. The Seekers believe that they are not in Space but are Inside a Computer System. They hope that destroying a star will cause the "game" to crash and wake everyone up. In the end, they are proven wrong, when the Seeker fleet is forced to use the Extinguisher on a star later revealed to be Rigel to escape a large Bug fleet (the Extinguisher creates a "tunnel" of sorts through the core of the star as a side effect of the explosion). Many of the smaller ships with inadequate shielding are still lost. The Bugs then communicate with the Seekers and force them to return to Platform Space by threatening Earth with an Extinguisher. One of the Seekers notes that astronauts back on Earth will be pissed at the loss of Rigel, which is used in Space navigation, but another person points out that Earth won't know about it for another 800 years, since Rigel is that far away.

Star Killing / int_14d341dc	comment	Star Trek Online: The game reveals that the Hobus supernova that destroyed Romulus and Remus in 2387 was caused deliberately by a rogue faction of the Romulan Tal Shiar acting in service to the Iconians. The nature of the weapon used caused the shockwave to propagate through subspace, reaching the Romulan system in a mere 27 hours. (This is the game's way of explaining the completely nonsensical destruction of Romulus in Star Trek (2009) and done years before Star Trek: Picard's canonical explanation.) The Tholians do this to the Na'khul as part of a Cycle of Revenge and Stable Time Loop, killing their star in retaliation for the eradication of a generation of young Tholians in retaliation for killing their star and so on and so forth...

Star Killing / int_150c3efe	comment	Empire from the Ashes: Enchanach drive, one of the two types of Faster-Than-Light Travel, is effectively a kind of warp drive that causes a massive gravitational disturbance in realspace, particularly when the drive is starting up or shutting down. For this reason, ships travelling by Enchanach drive have to de-FTL far out from any stars they're travelling to, because any closer and they can make the star go nova or supernova. In the second book, just six planetoids activating their Enchanach drives is enough to make Zeta Trianguli Australis go supernova and wipe out an Achuultani fleet.

It's possible to destroy a star using tens of thousands of tiny ships, or one ship that's comparable in size to the star itself. Destroying a star causes it to go supernova and quickly kill anything in the system, which usually includes your star-killer unless your shielding, armour and ship construction techs are high enough. Around a trillion health will do the trick.

Star Killing / int_20fda983	comment	The Three-Body Problem: Dark forest strikes usually do this by shooting a star with a "photoid," which is essentially just a rock...fired at speeds just under the speed of light, so that its relativistic mass is a fraction of the star's mass. The impact literally blows the star open, spewing its contents onto surrounding planets before the star ultimately collapses. This is what happens to Trisolaris due to the dark forest broadcast. Fearing Earth could face a similar fate, humanity builds huge orbital "bunkers" shielded behind the solar system's planets, but of course the aliens have anticipated this and simply deploy a far more destructive weapon.

They were reverse-engineered from Xeelee technology, and fire powerful gravity beams that are capable of ripping through any kind of material, even the Xeelee's spacetime construction material, which is all but indestructible against conventional matter and energy. A handheld Starbreaker requires a continuous beam to destabilize the core of a star and eventually cause it to explode, but the larger ship-mounted versions can destroy stars (even neutron stars) in a single shot.

The "humane" setting basically shoots a small black hole into the star which slowly siphons off fusion mass: eventually absorbing the entire star but slowly enough to evacuate the system. On the other hand, "violent" ends up compressing all matter that comes into contact with the weapon into neutronium, releasing lots of energy in the process. This extra energy leads to the star or gas-giant to go nova.

Star Killing / int_49a87cb3	comment	In the North American version of Final Fantasy VII, Sephiroth's infamous Super Nova attack sends a meteor careening through the solar system (wiping out multiple planets along the way) before it plunges into the sun, causing the sun to go nova, which causes half of the surface of the planet to get burned and does all sorts of nasty things to Cloud and company. And he is able to perform this attack multiple times somehow (with the most common theory being he teleports everyone to a pocket dimension ala a summon to pull it off, since otherwise what was the point of getting Black Materia to call down Meteor to destroy the planet if he could do so without it?). The extended animation was added to the International versions, the original Japanese version being a much shorter attack. According to some sources, the attack is a powerful illusion. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate also has a briefer version of this as Sephiroth's Final Smash, with only one planet getting destroyed before the sun goes supernova and breaks Earth apart.

Star Killing / int_4a52e0a0	comment	The Eschaton Series: The "iron-bombing" of Moscow's star in Iron Sunrise. Not an "iron bomb" in the USAF sense of the word, the process involves sending the target star's core into a Pocket Dimension with a vastly accelerated time flow. As quintillions of years pass in the mini-universe, the superheated hydrogen cools and eventually transmutes through quantum tunneling into a solid iron crystal. When the now-shrunken core is returned to the center of the star, the outer layers fall toward it, bounce off (iron doesn't like to be fused) and rebound explosively. The entire process is a fair approximation of what actually occurs in a Type II supernova (apart from the pocket dimension, anyway).

Star Killing / int_4cb44193	comment	In Destiny 2, the invading Cabal Empire deploy a massive starship known as the Almighty to prepare to destroy Earth's Sun. It's said that the Red Legion, the fleet that has invaded the Solar System, makes it a policy to destroy the sun of a star system once they've finished conquering all resistance and stripped the system of all useful resources, to seal their victory and remind everyone else they fight of the price for resistance. The player Guardian eventually has to disable the Almighty's main weapon (destroying the whole ship is out of the question because it would take the sun with it), since without it being taken out any victory elsewhere against the Cabal is meaningless. Years later, the Red Legion remnants try to crash the now-neutered Almighty into the Last City in one last act of spite, before the player Guardian once again foils them and destroys the ship for good.

They are gearing up to use one on Lh'owon's sun at the end of Marathon 2: Durandal, but Durandal is certain he can evacuate before it happens. Marathon Infinity reveals that the star was in fact a seal on an Eldritch Abomination called the W'rkncacnter, and by blowing the star up, the Pfhor have inadvertently released it.

Star Killing / int_5b9e8809	comment	XCOM Interceptor eventually has your research culminate in the development of the Nova Bomb, which, when fired, slowly accelerates to faster-than-light speed, at which point it strikes the star and causes it to go, well, nova. The intended purpose of the weapon is to cross beyond the black hole to get to the secret alien staging area for their Earth-killing superweapon that is completely immune to conventional weapons, and blow up the sun of the pocket universe (hopefully escaping before it blows you up too), but there's nothing stopping you from blowing up stars, except, of course, the cost of the bomb itself. By the time you have the weapon, you're close to the end-game, but you can use it to blow up the stars the aliens are exploiting as a big middle finger to their plans. Notably, the bomb is completely vulnerable while it's accelerating, requiring you to protect it from alien UFOs until it hits critical speed and disappears. That's usually the point at which you want to hit the "go to hyperspace" button.

If prevented from doing so, they'll find a nearby undefended star and make it go supernova. In an earlier arc, a sun which used to harbor a Dyson sphere is induced to go nova by destabilizing a wormhole at its core. Particularly impressive in that the death of the star was not the end goal, but a mechanism to kill every single ship in the system with a planarly focused blast wave. A group of archaeologists discover evidence that a Precursor civilization destroyed a few stars in a battle, throwing off estimates of stellar drift.

It's been previously established that going to warp inside a solar system is a high-risk move, and reiterated within the episode itself (Kira only does it because if they don't, there won't be a solar system left). Some novels seem to indicate that activating a warp engine too close to a star can cause serious problems for the star, which also falls under this trope, so....

How? They used the Forerunners' natural attraction to starlight to allow them to get close before triggering nova reactions in their own stars. Three million years later, humanity is spreading through the galaxy and discovers dead stars in the so-called Sleeve of Emptiness, dozens of dead systems in a roughly linear shape. A human is then imprinted with the memories of a frozen Delphon, who discovers the fate of their race (and also their status as Ancient Astronauts). It's not clear why the Delphons didn't attempt to evacuate using STL ships, as the swarm also moved at STL speeds. In the same novel, a Corrupt Corporate Executive nearly unleashes the Forerunners on the galaxy yet again. Luckily, humans have Anti Matter technology and can use it to blow up planetoids with enough energy release to wipe out any Forerunners nearby.

The First Order, despite naming the weapon after this trope, doesn't seem to realize the technology that powers the weapon up is perhaps even more devastating and dangerous than actually firing the weapon.

Star Killing / int_b683f90f	comment	Perry Rhodan has the occasional weapon or plot device that can do this — including but far from limited to the subtly-named "Death Satellite" whose thankfully comparatively slow attempts to destroy our sun and unassailable position within the sun's atmosphere itself prompt the time travel shenanigans of the Cappin arc in the first place —, as well as at least one species of what amounts to hyperSpace-dwelling animals that drain stars of their energy to feed and cause supernovae in order to reproduce. (The latter aren't even really aware of what they're doing because their senses no longer extend into 'normal' Spacetime and wouldn't be intelligent enough to care anyway.) Needless to say, when such things appear or get used, everybody sits up and takes notice.

Star Killing / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: The Talismans of Vaul (aka the Blackstone Fortresses), six gigantic Space stations equipped with Wave Motion Guns designed to rip a hole between reality and the Warp. Just one of these things is capable of seriously hurting the largest starships (and even planets), but they were intended to work together to destroy stars. Well, star god-infested stars at least (the C'tan are vulnerable when it comes to the Warp). This is mentioned as something the Aeldari could do at the height of their interstellar empire. The background material for the Drukhari Kabal of the Dying Sun mentions that they still possess powerful relics of the ancient Aeldari empire capable of destroying stars. The Kabal rarely deploy these arcane weapons however, due to them being almost as dangerous to those who use them as they are to the enemy, leading to many rival Kabals doubting whether they actually exist. During the Horus Heresy, the Word Bearers performed a dark ritual to poison the sun of Calth, turning one of Ultramar's most prosperous and fertile worlds into a radiation-blasted wasteland where people can only survive in deep underground caverns. Necrons: The Mephrit Dynasty were once famous for sun killing super-weapons that could cause a star to wither and die or to explode into a supernova, wiping out its planets and their populations. Many of these weapons have been lost or malfunctioned over the course of the Great Sleep however, and now the Dynasty is looking to rebuild their former strength with more mundane force of arms. The Celestial Orrery of the Oruscar Dynasty is an arcane machine that maps the location of every star in the galaxy. Should a star be erased from the Orrery, however, then the physical star itself will explode into a supernova. As such, the Orrery has become the target of a number of warlike factions and alien races.

Star Killing / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: In "Pyramids of Mars", the Doctor comments that the dead Earth that was destroyed by Sutekh in 1911 in the Bad Future is "circling a dead sun". From the classic series there's the Hand of Omega, a remote stellar manipulator that the Time Lords use to tinker with stars to make them do as they wish; in "Remembrance of the Daleks", the Doctor uses it to destroy the Skaro solar system. "Doomsday": According to the Doctor, if Mickey (who, as a time traveller, has been imbued with temporal energy) hadn't touched the Genesis Ark, the Daleks would have gone so far as switching off the Sun to try and open it. The Doctor uses the energy of a supernova to talk to Rose the first time she got dumped into another dimension, although he doesn't actually say he caused it. "Blink": The Doctor says that if the Weeping Angels got access to the TARDIS, switching off the Sun would be the least of the damage they could do.

Since their power depends on how tight the seal on Muspelheim (and therefore their boss) is, they're often Brought Down to Badass... which is to say that they can 'only' destroy planets without too much effort, and 'only' (in the case of Jormungand) survive being thrown into a neutron star by Thor.

Star Killing / int_c675b3d7	comment	Star Trek Expanded Universe: In the Star Trek: The Next Generation novel The Last Stand, a pre-warp civilization is on the verge of being destroyed by their ancient enemies (also pre-warp). As a last resort, they have been working on a doomsday device that would cause their star to go nova. The device? A warp field generator placed within "one Cochrane radius" (as Picard put it) of the star. It's safe to say that this novel is the only place where this concept is used, especially since we see many times ships warping from and to a star's corona. Rihannsu: The Romulan Way states that the capital of the Inshai Compact, an interstellar civilization active when the Vulcans were in the Information Age (roughly the time of ancient Greece's heyday on Earth), was destroyed by a sunkiller bomb, which allowed the progenitors of the Orion pirates to rise to prominence and begin raiding Vulcan. This eventually led to the Sundering between the Vulcans who followed Surak and the proto-Romulans who followed S'task. In The Empty Chair Scotty attempts to create a technobabble link between two uninhabited stars, allowing him to technobabble one star to defeat use of a Romulan solar flare-generating technology called Sunseed against the other. He accidentally causes both stars to prematurely collapse into red dwarfs. One of the book's other plotlines concerns a Romulan attempt to blow up Sol and cut the heart out of the Federation, which is defeated by Scotty getting it right and forging a link between Sol and the Romulan sun Eisn. The Q Continuum suggests the supernova that destroyed the homeworld of the Tkon Empire (as seen in the TNG episode "The Last Outpost") was caused by an omnipotent being that Q unleashed. This would answer the question of why a technologically advanced civilization with the power to move entire star systems could have been taken by surprise by a supernova. The Ascendants in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch have a weapon capable of destroying stars, as seen in Worlds of Deep Space Nine: The Dominion.

Star Killing / int_d109f322	comment	In the TV Series Andromeda, Commonwealth warships had a complement of 40 NovaBombs — missiles designed to destroy a star by cancelling out any gravitational forces, literally, pulling it apart and causing it to explode. In the pilot the Andromeda Ascendant uses up her entire complement canceling out a black hole's gravity. A short while later, an old Commonwealth Space station is found manned by kids. Thanks to Dylan's access code, they are able to open the station's hangar, which reveals dozens of slipfighters, each of which is armed with a Nova bomb. At least one inhabited star system is blown up by the fanatical kids in a suicide run, but Dylan ends up safely detonating the rest and confiscating one from a recovered fighter. When Tyr first sees these, he tells Dylan that he could have his Commonwealth back today. Dylan responds that it wouldn't be a Commonwealth but an empire held together only by terror.

It's also offhandedly mentioned that they know fifteen different ways to destroy a dwarf star. Not only do they kill the star, but they do so by first building a gigantic machine to take apart the system's gas giant, then use the material they recovered from that to produce the star-killing weapon — which is so large and so massive that a character notes it shouldn't even be possible for it to exist without collapsing in on itself. When they fire their weapon at the star, it doesn't just kill the star — it turns it into an astronomically huge Flamethrower.

Star Killing / int_e235270c	comment	Stellaris: The Stellarite Devourer is a mysterious creature of some kind, looking like a planet-sized tick, that eats stars. It takes it a very long time to fully devour one (centuries at least) but the star will gradually cool down to a brown dwarf while the Devourer is doing its thing. Killing the Devourer gives you the opportunity to attempt to re-ignite the star with the Devourer's remains, which isn't guaranteed to succeed but may result in new habitable worlds to colonize if it does. If a civilization attempts to Become the Crisis, at the highest Crisis level they will gain access to a super-weapon called a Star Eater. This thing... well, annihilates stars. Upon doing so, it obliterates all other celestial objects in the system and turns the star into a black hole, extracting massive amounts of dark matter from it. The Crisis civilization needs astronomical amounts of dark matter to fuel the Aetherophasic Engine to become gods (and destroy the galaxy in the process), so they will need to destroy dozens of stars with the Star Eaters if they are to succeed.

Of course, a bit of Power-Scaling and we reach the conclusion that Gohan can do exactly the same, seeing as he was able to utterly obliterate Cell the same way he tried to destroy the Solar System. Both of these are confirmed in official guidebooks, and Cell is also depicted doing this in a few video games with some going so far as to coin it the "Solar Kamehameha". Fat Buu does this in the anime flashback when Kaioshin first introduces him, exterminating all luminosity from a galaxy by destroying its stars. Goku and Cooler's combined blasts destroy the Sun in Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge, though it quickly gets put back (possibly by Kaio, since gods in this universe explicitly have the power to recreate celestial bodies). In Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F', Whis casually remarks on the time Beerus accidentally blew up his planet's own suns. (Whis had to rewind time to fix that boo-boo.) We see at least one sun being destroyed from the clash between Goku and Beerus, which would have eventually destroyed everything in the universe, had it been allowed to continue.
