Liberty and Nomad Backstory

[Praetyre]

Uhh, what? I always thought that the Nomad torpedo just exploded in the Sun and caused a supernova. The only thing I found strange was the amount of time it took for the torpedo to reach from Pluto to the Sun. It took only about 5 seconds. For a torpedo to travel to the Sun in that amount of time, the launcher must have propelled the torpedo faster than the speed of light. I thought that technology was only available in Hyper/Jump Gates, Trade Lanes, and the sleeper ship Jump Drives. How could you put that in a torpedo launcher?

A simple massive amount of explosives won't do anything to a star. A supernova requires the stopping of all nuclear fusion and the release of all remaining solar energy in a star. In fact, big explosives would just feed a star. I suppose the Slomon K'Hara utilized a localized wormhole projector technology to achieve such a feat (that of the torpedo travelling past C).

For an analysis of this, we have to start with the initial question. The indisputable fact is that Sol went supernova around the time the Slomon K'Hara warhead hit it. What I ask from that perspective is how the supernova occured. From there, we can use the evidence shown in-game and in developer documents to construct a hypothesis and acquire results by asking the developers directly or finding direct correlation in real scientific theory. Then, we can present a conclusion to the original question, of how the supernova occured.
