""We meet again, young one. I am the last of those who gave you breath and shape and form, millions of years ago. I am the last of those your kind rose up and ruthlessly destroyed. And our answer is at hand."

An orbital Super MAC platform fires a 3,000 ton tungsten projectile at 60% the speed of light with over 1000 times the power of the largest nuclear weapon ever tested.
In comparison, the most powerful railgun we have today fires at about 11,000 mph with 32MJ of force with a 7.2 kilo projectile.
SMAC's are probably the most powerful weapon ever created by man
Well, I am going to use basic physics here.
60% of the speed of light into meters per second is 185,600,000
3000 tons is about 2,500,000 kgs
kinetic energy is (1/2mv^2)
so we get 4.305*10^22 J. Jesus H. christ! It can punch a hole clean through a covenant capital ship.
Also is my math wrong? I'm not sure.
