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
