Is Starfleet Order 24 genomförbart?

5

Allmän ordning 24 av Starfleet är en order att förstöra allt liv på en planet genom orbital bombardment (som nämnts här och här ). För att citera ordern:

If a commanding officer deems that a planet has been culturally contaminated to a point where correction is no longer viable and said culture now poses a direct threat to Starfleet personnel or Federation civilians, he may order the destruction of a planet’s surface to occur within a time limit set upon invocation.

Kort sagt, om Starfleet-kaptenen känner så, kan han lika väl ordna för att förstöra en hel civilisation.

Finns det något fartyg i företaget som kan exekvera en sådan prestation ensam? Om ja, finns det någon form av vapen ombord på detta skepp (liknande Death Star i Star Wars) som kan eliminera allt liv på planeten?

Ja, USS Defiant visar att alla Starfleet-skepp skulle kunna göra det i Deep Space 9 : För enhetlig

Från minnet alfabetisk synopsis:

Sisko then proceeds with the same strategy the Maquis had been using, he prepares to launch biogenic weapons comprised of trilithium resin at a Maquis settlement. A reversal of Eddington's weapon, the resin bomb would poison the atmosphere with a toxin that is deadly to Humans, but harmless to Cardassians. Sisko broadcasts a message revealing his intentions, but Eddington dismisses it as a Federation bluff. Sisko then orders the weapons fired, and Worf initially hesitates as he and the rest of the bridge crew are shocked that Sisko is following through with his threat. Sisko repeats his order, and Worf launches the weapons which do their job and poison the atmosphere, with Maquis transports scrambling to evacuate the settlement. Sisko announces that he plans to continue his campaign against all of the Maquis colonies in the DMZ, telling Eddington that when he attacked the Malinche the Maquis proved themselves to be an unacceptable threat to the Federation. Eddington offers to turn over the Maquis' stocks of biogenic weapons, but Sisko tells him that isn't enough. This leads Eddington to turn himself in to prevent further attacks, thus fulfilling the self-sacrificial part of his hero fantasy.

Eftersom nästan alla fartyg i Star Fleet är utrustade med ett laboratorium och innehar torpeder, kan de skapa ett liknande biogent vapen som är skräddarsydd för de aktuella arterna som de vill förstöra.
