Within the Imperium, nuclear weapons are banned outright, except for use by the
regular Imperial forces.  Admittedly there is a small dispute going on as to who
exactly constitutes regular Imperial forces (:-) but I doubt any PC's are able
to stake any such claim.

I once played in a campaign about some Vargr.  I played a high charisma Vargr
who, by an interesting and fully played-out route, came to be in sole charge of
a 30,000 ton cruiser.  Fully armed.  It was TL16, too (check the Vargr Alien
module for the capital of the Kedzudh Aeng).  We had some fun, but I think we
had more fun when we were only using a little 400 ton corsair.
