Illuminati superweapon

The Illuminati superweapon, also known as the planet cooker or "the barbeque of planet killers" is the secondary focus of Pikmin: Triad war. Rather then blowing up the targeted planet like the death star and countless other planet busters in science fiction, the weapon fire's a beam that goes right through the planets surface and hits the core, causing a reaction that causes the planet to boil until there is nothing more then molten slack floating in space. The remains of the planet can be harvested by the operating party/person of the weapon (or by anyone for that matter) as minerals or fuel. Alternatively, the superweapon can just fire a beam that pierces right through the planet. This doesn't sound that bad (compared to it's other firing mode), but this actual causes the planets core to stop spinning, destroying the magnetic field and causing the planet to become vulnerably to solar winds.
