I'm just curious, there are a lot of "warp speed" and "Faster than Light" and "Hyperspace" things in movies and books. It seems to me that such technology would be somewhat devastating if not policed or controlled properly.
For example - the Death Star in star wars. It is a technology to destroy planets, but I can't help but think that, were the empire to fly an (empty) star destroyer into a planet at light speed, it would surely destroy said planet utterly, with no prior warning and not colossal, ominous moon with an easily accessed "off" switch.
Does anyone know of any movies or books which feature using "warp speed" as a weapon, rather than simply as a means of travel?
