A bunch of f*ck-off huge warships turn up with Mythbuster levels of excitement for wanting to see something blow up. Roll for Intimidation with advantage.
They are generally employed as demolition machines and the warships are rolled out of mothballs and given all the fun upgrades before they're allowed to play.
They're encouraged to blow up and otherwise destroy rogue planets, large meteors, and other uninhabited asteroids along the way. It's VERY effective.
