A couple of points no one has mentioned about the psionic character and
his attack on that pirate ship.

1. 1 milligram of antimatter is roughly equivalent to 10 kilos of TNT.
   That ain't gonna bother the pirate much. (approximately .01% of the
   mass in a fission bomb is converted to energy, a 20 kT bomb has about
   10 kilo's of fissionables. The rest is simple calculations)

2. This happened in *space*. Therefore, the hydrogen fuel is no big deal.
   Hydrogen is *NOT* explosive. Hydrogen mixed with an oxidizer is. Blow
   a hole in a fuel tank, and you'll cause a small side thrust due to the
   escaping fuel. You'll also make them worry about their fuel reserves.
