Hello fellow hominids. I pose a hypothetical.
Suppose you are the prince of the Zorblaxians, who just lost a war to the Glorbulans. You have fled with 10,000 civilians and 2,000 soldiers, and are currently hiding in your large spaceship around Uranus. You must colonize a new planet to survive, but the only one in range is Sol-3, and the native fauna have gone from medieval steel to nuclear bombs faster than anticipated. Although your soldiers are each worth approximately 500,000 hominid soldiers in direct combat, the fauna are too numerous, and they have the ability to launch their nuclear weapons into space at a sufficient distance and speed to strike your repurposed large cargo freighter, which itself has no space defenses.
How do you eradicate the natives without ruining your future home? This is only a hypothetical.
>Losing to Gl*rbulans
It's your own zornking fault, make peace with the hominids and have THEM waste munitions on nothingtignur gl*rboids because your greeloking prince can't figure out basic stellar stratagems
>your soldiers are each worth approximately 500,000 hominid soldiers in direct combat
Don't listen to this propaganda I saw the Mel Gibson movie these lil homies can't even open doors
As per the /k/ thread:
A synthetic viral weapon tailored to go after human DNA but bind into harmless biodegradable substances if no human nucleotides are found. It could be hardened with plastic cell walls and other weaponization efforts to make it super hardy in the environment and hard to crack by humanity in a short period of time. Of course they’re doing this all remotely so it’s possible they’d miss some outlier DNA combinations but as long as the vast majority is neutralized they can handle the remainder with conventional forces.
If too many aliens are against this idea for whatever reason, the best bet would be to fling rocks into the oceans at strategic points to cause sufficient destruction of the human civilization to atomize their economic and government systems while avoiding too much long-lasting damage to the planet. Smaller rocks can be sent into locations which appear to support facilities for launching beyond their orbit. Once broken up they can be contained and eradicated piecemeal.
Make friends with the natives. No, I mean it.
No ulterior motives, no scams, no change of heart later, no enslavement. If they've advanced this fast and in the numbers they have they not only pose a significant threat to the last remnants of your species but to the wartorn victor of your conflict.
They would make invaluable allies and would hold loyalty to your species for uplifting them for generations to come. Just imagine how that quick tech jumping could benefit your dynasty in the long run.
Don't hog the spotlight, its a big universe and you've got a miniscule population. They'd at least let you land long enough to start terraforming other planets in the system and get to other systems. I know these guys, trust me.
Why eradicate them? Get them on-side, they'll probably be hype to meet actual ayylmaoiens. Give you a hand standing up a couple other planets in the system to be useful.
Make contact with the natives and ally with each other to defeat the Zorblaxians
Just reach out to their political leaders, they will all throw their respective populations under the bus for some personal gain besides maybe a few small congregations you can crush when the time comes.
Seeing as the Zorblaxian bodies are so frail and weak that they cannot stand against the noble and proud Glorbulans, even with the use of perfidious tactics and a numbers advantage, it is clear that they would fail against even the weak native life of Sol-3. It would be best for the Zorblaxians to surrender to the approaching noble Glorbulan warfleet, and beg forgiveness from the divine Emperor of the Glorbulans, praise be upon him.
This. I would also add as a human that I would welcome Glorbulan guidance of our civilizations. As
astutely points out it cannot produce worthy leaders for itself and requires the firm hand of the Emperor to guide it into prosperity.
>How do you eradicate the natives without ruining your future home?
Don't tho, its not worth it, flu will wipe you out in a few days despite all your technological superiority and the fact that you should otherwise have medicine evolved enough to have figured out basic things like the importance of inoculation in wars.
>repurposed large cargo freighter, which itself has no space defenses
Except it would have to. Any large interstellar spaceship would have to have shielding to protect from any debris that might accidentally strike it at ridiculous speeds, so it would inherently be able to handle a nuclear attack.
Oh you're trying to get advice on how to eradicate the glorious human race? How about you go shove yourself and that spaceship full of Zorbs into Uranus and die!
In what game?
Fab a sun shade or park some debris at the right distance to reduce the solar radiation that sol-3 is exposed to by around 50% or more. Wait a few cycles and move the shaders. The fauna of sol-3 are reliant on photosynthetic flora for sustenance and can only live within a narrow band of temperatures. They should all be expired within 2, maybe 3 solar cycles of the shading. If they use their limited nuclear arsenal to destroy the shader simply build a more diffuse cloud of debris you can later clean up. Since nuclear weapons do not have a medium to propagate a shockwave through, they'll be of limited use in destroying a shader cloud. And it is incredibly easy and free to just put up more.
Obviously the value of any native flora or fauna is limited due to differing chemistry. So freezing sol-3 simply gives you a nice clean slate to work with.
Just use AI if you want a response to your stale prompts.
As others have pointed out, wiping out hte natives is stupid. If the glorbulans managed to take your previous planet, what stops you from taking this one after you wipe out the natives?
If you were to instead use your superior technology to acquire good relations with the natives and put yourselves in an superior position, you could use the earthlings as meat shields from any invasions while also benefitting from the vast workforce they have. This way you can rest safely until you find a better, emptier planet to colonize/take over.
>what stops you
what stops them*
what you don't understand is that two of the most reoccurring themes in humanities stories, are fighting aliens, and unifying against an outside force, if you show up, sprinkle a little technology into their hands, and then tell them that there are Glorbulans coming to frick their wives and double park at their Walmart's, they will band together an frick up any outside threat, and you'll get a solid generation or two of every native government kissing up to you for FTL and terraforming technology. peace is not just the easiest, but the best option.
if you give humanity an excuse, and we'll flood our solar system with boarding ships, filled with dozens of the best trained men and women recruited from stalls in malls between the Auntie Aun's and the orange Julius stores, ready to skullfrick whatever alien bastard is stupid enough to let themselves be boarded.
I propose an even better hypothetical: suppose you make a thread about traditional games
