Theia Warhead

A Theia Warhead, when detonated, will do one of two things:   1) Detonation. The black hole evaporates near instantly, its mass not enough to sustain it for long with nothing to feed on. The mass-energy of the warhead is released all at once, able to destroy entire planets in less than a day, or significantly change the mass of targeted stars - ruining orbits of all major astral bodies around them.   2) Consumption. The black hole has enough mass to last long enough to consume what it was thrown at, or it begins consuming its target fast enough to sustain itself. The black hole either stays stable, or grows, destroying planets in hours, and stars in weeks. After it's out of fuel, the black hole will either become stable, becoming a new part of the system, or simply evaporate, throwing its consumed energy into the void as an act of pure entropy.

Keeping a black hole stable and safe is a near impossibility without a massive fuel source. To remedy this, Theia Warheads are powered by their own black holes through a Penrose Sphere, which uses the energy to preserve quantum stability within the region to "freeze" the black hole in time. Due to this incredible requirement, Theia Warheads typically have the cost of entire solar system's worth of infrastructure, and some may need to siphon the mass of an entire star to function.

No faction cannot have at least a dozen Theia's. Unfortunately, mutually assured destruction cannot be mutually assured if only one side has the weapon. While there are constant calls for disarmament - to turn the Warheads into Atomizers - no Faction can afford to politically. A specicidal standoff - and no one want to pull the trigger.
