Just reread 11 and it appears they are reducing the mass of karazwhatever and not the Yamaro base.
ZPeds and jump emmiters would do the trick with enough power storage. Obviously there are tugs that are capable of moving the beast and they could use gravity assist to turn it.
Nudge it with a tug to fall into orbit. Then park the tug aboard in a hanger and jump when it lines up with the next system.
Forshadowed possible with the last paragraph of Dumars talk with the director.
I also tend to think they are not discussing this option at the later meeting between Dumar and Tug. But I could be wrong, even though that has never happened before. 😉
Not that this ground has not been covered before.
Guess we will have to buy the next book and see.
Just to bump an old thread. Just what is in the Darvano system??
Was it as it now appears, the fact that the stars were aligned to allow the Asteroid jump away? Or is there still something else to come?
As much as I liked the jumping rock I still had hoped for a warship or carrier.
That 60 km Rock can hold a LOT of ordinance and fighters. They just have to make them. And they need to add a lot of security to those fighters.

What's in the Darvano System ? I don't believe Ryk was talking about the "jumping rock". I think something will come from there that will knock our socks off. Unfortunately we just have to wait for it.
