Conquer A Planet
<div class="IPBDescription">How would you do it?</div> Now when I say conquer I do not mean liberating or enslaving said planet. I mean complete anihilation of the inhabitants.
Obviously there are many ways to do this, I want to hear how you would do it before I post how I would.

Position + planning == the win!
I would like a bit more detail than just saying a couple of words.
1) Steal the death star
2) Turn on the death star
3) Fire the death star
If aformentioned Death star is not available, kidnap bill gates and force him to make one for you.
I'd start with spies.
Said spies would go to the planet looking like the inhabitants, and spend the first couple years doing spy-like things to create a credible backstory when they make a big announcement: travel off-world is possible using spacecraft technology they "ever so happened to be lucky enough to invent."
Said spacecraft would then be videotaped by the native inhabitants as it makes it maiden voyage elsewhere. Then actual video would be relayed back from spy actors (passengers on the spacecraft) to show "Hey! Look! We found this really cool planet that <i>all of you will want to come to!</i>
More spies would start mass-producing these spacecraft, which ever so conveniently can only be launched by organizations and corporations that are "approved" for being able to use the new tech safely [read: fully owned & operated by my spies].
Hundreds upon hundreds of the world's inhabitants would flock to these spacecraft, and be happily cruised off to the pleasurable planet they saw on their TV or similar screens....only to be dropped off at the equivalent of a hot-dog packing plant as I take advantage of the opportunity to turn <i>them</i> into further natural resources to exploit.
The remaining skeptics would then be hunted down by expertly trained wildlife, such as Platapuses...Platupai...platuh...um....whatever, they look freakish, have venomous webbed claws, and have a funny plural name that disrupts enemy communication.

The Death Star plans are NOT in the main computer!
2. Orbital platforms, bombarding the planet so i can keep the natural resources.
3. Infiltrate the leading governments of the planet and offer each leader a chance to escape if they help me. Id create some sort of viris with a short lifespan but deadly enough and contagious enough to kill everything on the planet.
4. Nuke it.
5. Make it look as if some sort of natural disaster (comets hitting etc)) is gonna whipe em out and force em to leave.
6. Tell them ill send MonsierEvil or if he is unavailable send Nemisis Zero to ban them from the planet.
I'd call it GAIDS.

or massive neutron bombs, but that would kill all the lovely critters
I would have to go with GAIDS then.
I name the OS after something that you look through, like Mirror, Glasses, or... *gasp* Windows.
OMG...someones already began doing that...

If I am going to totally demolish the planet my way still works. I will throw rocks. I am not speaking of ordinary rocks of course. I am speaking of the dreaded multi ton planet killers. Now how would I go about moving such a beast? Simple I can push it with nuclear weapons or large NIRVA rockets(simply put nuclear powered rocket motors). Obviously this has much greater potential that tiny expensive atomic weapons.
Now if I want to eliminate all life I can drop a few really lage rocks on land. Obviously this has its flaws when it comes to having the planet still inhabital after victory. Dropping many smaller rocks would be better for keeping the planet still inhabital. Obviously there are some drawbacks to my method but it would be devastating to the planet that is to be conquered.
If you argue that the inhabitants could just dig underground I could just keep pounding away with the rocks. It would not be hard to hit the planet either because it is simple orbital mechanics to get the rocks and planet to meet.
And that is my simple and elegent method for conquering a planet.
That said I'd have gone with Death Star myself.
I would place a large amount of explosives in steel barrels and have them orbiting around the planet for the time being. Then i would send a small vessel to the surface of the planet and start digging.
When i got a good distance down, towards the center of the planet (not to close to the core obviously) i would travel back into space and activate the giant magnet that i placed inside the planet. Then all of the explosives (or comets if we cut the budget) would be pulled towards the planet at such speed that it would demolish the surface and exterminate the entire population.
When the massive damages and killing stops, i will re-enter the scene and scrape the top layer of the planet of with an army of plated robots.
You are Victorious my general!
or that
Actually, you know what, everybody that's posted so far gets on the list. Fear for everybody!
What? I'm not joking. Does this face look like it's joking? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
