Droplets (Strong-Interaction Probes)

Item from deaths-end by Liu Cixin

Trisolaran probes — mirror-perfect quicksilver teardrops, each capable of destroying an entire human fleet, and the weapon that ends the Deterrence Era.

What They Know

• Hulls made of strong-interaction material — bound by the strong nuclear force, not electromagnetism
• Effectively immune to all known human kinetic and energy weapons
• Capable of impossible accelerations and 90-degree turns
• Nine droplets are hidden behind the Sun during the Deterrence Era and emerge to destroy the antennae
• Two are later destroyed by Blue Space and Gravity inside a 4D space pocket
