If I recall correctly, we actually see the SPK shattering a planet into fragments. The warheads are described as detonating ''inside'' the planet. It's the Vorlon planet killer that has never been actually shown destroying planets.

The warheads detonate beneath the surface, but they don't deliver anywhere near enough energy to scatter the planet's mass. The Rangers observing the event noted that "Within a few hours, there'll be nothing alive down there", not "within a few hours, the planet will be gone." Basically the SPK just turns and mixes the surface into a radioactive mess. In "A Call to Arms", Sheridan actually walked on the surface of a planet that had been hit by an SPK. They seem to do a more thorough job than the VPK, but they're still not planet destroyers. --[[User:Ted C|Ted C]] 13:33, 15 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
