It isn't really important for the xianxia-sci-fi story I'm writing, but I just thought it would be cool to have a motto for a literal weaponized star, kinda like irl ships.

Though I'm indecisive in which sounds the best, so I'll let random people on the internet decide.

Peace through the might of a million suns is basically nuclear peace (核平, first word for nuclear and second word is from 和平, peace)

I like it.

I was thinking of nuclear deterrence with that, didn't know about that though. Cool!

Let there be light sounds retarded and it’s literally way too generic and cringe. Imagine your cool as hell chad main character saying “LET THERE BE LIGHT!” Sounds like something that the pinkie girl from madoka would say

Well, the phrase is from the book of genesis—I believe, that's why it's well-known.

yeah 'let there be light' is lit, funny cos it's tied to a creation mythos
anything like above and 'Let light be thy judge' or 'The light of truth consumes all' brings images of insane A.I operating a star cannon and thinking that it judges all who approach it as being unworthy or worthy of some higher ideal---meanwhile slaughtering millions in truth.

Multivac, how do we reverse entropy?
"THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER."
(╬☉д⊙)⊰⊹ฺ

imagine, the guy who operates this mass-destruction weapon says
"Let there be light" —then the whole galaxy is blinded by the deadly light.

That'll be epic!
Well, if there was somehow a singular entity operating this, either no one hears 'em or they get strange looks from the people living next to the deadly laser.

I was thinking of rephrasing it to something like "There shall be light", but I decided if I was gonna rip something off I may as well do it thoroughly.

Also... That A.I sounds like they got some serious 8th grade syndrome.

"Salvation at thirty thousand Kelvin!" sounds disrespectful enough to fit in a League of Legends "press R to win" ultimate ability that instantly gets the enemy to surrender after you wipe half their team. I love it.

For motto with weaponized stars...
1. Might of million suns. Basically toasted not even ashes remain.
2. Salvation 30k Kevins. Melted to goo.
3. Entropy promise delivered.

2 & 3 sound like a cult or a religious order that wishes you "peacefully" depart...

Might of million suns sound most threatening and bass which is appropriate for a weaponized star
