Interesting scenario snipped.

This thrid one seems to meet the requirements to represent the Lexington, when
the Black Star destroyed the task force it was with.  I'd say since it is an
older Hyperion the reactor is not as efficient as newer ones and the ship
gains no power from lossing the lasers.

Now all I need is to figure out how much damage is neccessary for two flash
effect attacks, since this is how the nuclear warheads of the Mag Gun are
handled, that can destroy a Sharlin or a Shargoti if that is what the Black
Star was.  Course the projectile effect of a shattered asteroid might have
helped.

Any suggestions?
