Interstellar Ecology Commission Eradicator Device
The massive Interstellar Ecology Commission Eradicator Device (also referred to as the Eradicator Gun) dominates the space port tribunal chamber, its angular metal housing bristling with cooling vanes and control nodes. Pulsing red maintenance lights trace its power conduits while warning labels warn of lethal irradiation range. Its destructive red energy beam serves as both a military-grade annihilation tool and tribunal enforcement mechanism. Chairman Pletrac activates it with ceremonial precision using a chrome confirmation trigger, while its sheer scale requires multiple crew members to rotate its housing. Intended to eliminate xenological contaminants, it becomes central to the Doctor Who narrative when Vorg's improvised use exposes the regime's technical fragility and illegal operations.

Purpose
Instrument of summary execution under Interstellar Ecology Commission regulations, designed to sterilize illegal biological contaminants or unauthorized temporal anomalies by vaporizing all organic and inorganic matter within its beam radius.
Significance
The Eradicator Gun serves as the irreversible enforcer of Kalik’s verdict, embodying the brutal finality of interstellar bureaucracy. Its presence transforms a contested legal dispute into an immediate death sentence, stripping away all diplomacy and revealing the cold instrumental logic of ecological law. Vorg and Shirna’s livelihood is erased in a single act of sanctioned destruction, cementing the gun’s role as both arbiter and executioner of cosmic order.
