A weapon of mass destruction (WMD) is a biological, chemical, radiological, nuclear, or any other weapon that can kill or significantly harm many people or cause great damage to artificial structures (e.g., buildings), natural structures (e.g., mountains), or the biosphere.[1]
In the context of Nguhcraft, a weapon of mass destruction refers to a type of weapon which typically only exists in-lore. While there are so-called "orbital cannons" buildable in Minecraft, which are considered WMDs, Ætérnal and/or Nguhcraft players and/or the Nguhcraft server infrastructure itself would crash out over someone attempting to use one.
Some players have considered Nguhcraft items that have received enchantments added by the Nguhcraft mod to be WMDs, and some have also used the phrase to refer to maces in general due to their ability to trivialize PVP combat. However, neither ingame use of "WMD" has seen common use since Adnar was nuked 32 times.
Types of WMDs present in Nguhcraft
This list is incomplete. You can help by expanding it BUT NOT BY MAKING WMDs OF YOUR OWN!
Multiple kinds of WMDs has been deployed in Nguhcraft. With the targets mainly being civilian targets.
Nuclear Weapons
Multiple ŋations posesses nuclear weapon. Such as Wekañu-Skefo, Enkavak, and Minaro-Cohasia. Nuclear weapons has famously been available via the email address sendme@a.nuke.gg, which used to send a nuclear bomb towards the sender's location. Currently, the e-mail no longer sends nukes. There have been multiple nuclear crisis, causing a growing movement against nuclear weapon.
Rod from God
A Rod From God (RFG) is a rod made from a magnetic material. Two ŋations have made Rods from God, with different metrics.
Imerchal's Rod from God weighed 1 metric ton and is dropped at terminal velocity (0.7c).[2] It has famously been used by the Free City of Yetch Bay against the Communist Empire of Adnar. It was dropped during the Adnar-Enkavak war, annihilating a neighbourhood in Đoòng Sơn.[3] After witnessing the impact of RFG, multiple ŋations condemned Imerchal's actions, including Imerchal themselves as they impeached the Director of Defense Volie for misuse of national weapon.
New Maeksikeo's Rods from God (typically referred to using the phrase relativistic missile instead of rod from god) are usually made of the more magnetically powerful neodymium, but iron is also frequently used since neodymium is rarer. The Parkɚ Ŋolar Probe is a work-in-progress retrofitted Kardonian Imperial shuttle, the C’ileya to be specific, and as such has the ability to launch RFGs, using gravity boosts from the suŋ as well as magnetic acceleration to achieve relativistic speeds. While it was originally intended to end the use of every other WMD on this page, the C’ileya's cannons were never loaded due to subsequent treaties regarding the use of WMDs.
The Siren
During the RFG incident, Minaro-Cohasia joked that the Siren Rokolesi is a weapon of mass destruction, as She can flood entire ŋations (such as Adnar[4]) among other disastrous threats to life and property. The Siren has never actually been used in this manner.
Wormholes
While technically not a WMD per se, Enkavak has the ability to make wormholes anywhere on Nguhcraft, at the cost of the majority of the Gulf's military budget. It notably used this ability in order to (probably temporarily) imprison Peleṽa Thoa-Saevakki. Unlike other WMD incidents, this wormhole did attack a military target, and has a much smaller footprint of damage than any aforementioned WMD. However, since it caused unnecessary damage and is hilariously overpowered, it is often considered one.
New Maeksikeo immediately considered the wormhole to be impossible, partially as it has never, artificially or naturally, seen a white hole, a prerequisite to wormhole formation, and partially because if it was real, Enkavak could conquer the entire Kardonian Empire. Less-futuristic ŋations like Maraśa and Adaria were also in awe, but treated the incident with religious importance. This makes the Saevakki Wormhole incident the most prominent use of a WMD (should it be considered one) in Nguhcraft history.
