I remember from the book adaptation of the episode where Spock gets attacked by
the flying fried eggs that the Enterprise packs something that can be fired
like a photon torpedo and that will destroy a planet.  When Spock leads them to
the home-base of the parasites, the Enterprise throws these things ("planet-
crackers"?) at the planet and it is blown apart.

Now, is this part of the Star Trek Canon, or not, though?
