Crater



In planetary science, a crater is a bowl-shaped depression found on the surface of planetary bodies created by impacts from stellar debris. Craters can also be created by weapons fire, such as Klingon artillery shells. 

The impact of a Druoda series 5 long-range tactical armor unit on a planetary surface can create a crater four hundred kilometers across.
