'''The Stark Fist of Removal''' is the name given to '''69230 Hermes''', a siliceous [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apollo_asteroids Apollo-class asteroid], by the [[Subgenii]] colonizers/sculptors who settled on it in 2010.  This small asteroid (it is less than a quarter the size of the ''[[Grover's Corners]]'') has been radically re-engineered in the short time it has been occupied; its tumbling revolution has been halted and the beginnings of a ship conversion have been noted, with engines visible on its "stern".  Most noteworthy though is the physical change it has undergone -- like some outer space Mount Rushmore, it has been blasted and carved into a recognizable shape -- that of a clenched fist on a short length of arm.  As time has passed the sculpture has grown more refined -- by the beginning of [[Operation Great Justice]] the surface had been smoothed to a skin-like texture, and the beginnings of wrinkles and fingernails had been noted.

Naturally, with a name like "The Stark Fist of Removal" and its design (especially the huge cluster of engines protruding from its "wrist"), many feel that the craft/sculpture is little more than an exceedingly fancy "dinosaur killer"-class weapon.  Leaders of the Subgenii merely smile around their pipes when pressed on the question.
