	[ text delteted concerning PC's with nukes to save bandwidth ]

The one time I had characters with nukes was the time I was playing a character
who was the commander of some merc forces that had been hired by the Imperium
to put down a particularly ugly civil war between internal parties to an
autonomous state.   The concern here from the Imperial point of view was the
fact that this conflict threatened the stability of of surrounding sectors.
The mercs were given carte blanche authority from as high as the Emperor
himself  to use whatever means needed to put the civil war to an end.

The real reason, unknown to the mercs at the time, that the Imperium was so
interested in quelling this disturbance was that essential ingredients in the
Emperor's anagathic treatments originated from this area.  As long as the
civil war blazed, no stuff!

As it turned out, the nukes were never used.   Just the mere threat of the use
of nukes on the population centers was enough to bring the beligerants to the
negotiating table.
