You have been assigned the job of Planetary Protection Officer. It only pays $124,406 and $187,000 per year but you get to protect your planet.
What is your weapon of choice to protect the planet? How do you remove xenoscum?

Nuclear powered electro-magnetic rail guns orbiting earth.

A two-tone black and white AR with coil assisted propulsion(capacitors in the stock and coils under the handguard and a smart-link scope. Probably some cool heatsinks or ventable coolant fluid if I am going to be firing in vacuum.
Space suit also has motors to assist with kicking around and stabilizing the weapon so I can line up longer shots than normally humanly possible.

Drones
A shit ton of drones and a Dyson-nicoll beam.
He's probably just in charge of cleanliness of the equipment after entry. Just ensure your entire ship is exposed to the super heat of re-entry. No internal compartments that life forms can get into.

Recoilless Rifle. 'Nuff said.

she doesn't seem to be floating. looks like an internal compartment.
If science fiction has taught me anything it's that alieums never expect or prepare for a slug thrower.

Yes please, and it actually would be effective at removing contaminants from space missions.

all you do is set sterilization procedures for exiting and entering space craft and utilities

A fucking slinfshot or a bow, in space the damn thing will never loose velocity. Or a gun that pumps compressed air into the breach with every pull of the trigger.

>Space nuclear laser
Assuming space bullshit magic doesn't exist and neither does FTL feasibly, and they harness the power of their home star, laser propulsion would be the most likely candidate. With antimatter boosted fusion and ye olde fission being a close second. Say we get lucky and space bullshit magic isn't a thing. That's one less thing to worry about. However, humanity is stuck in the gravity well of earth.
Why is that a big deal? For several reasons
>Ayliums drop rock from orbit
>accelerates to fuck-you m/s
>obliterates population centers
Meanwhile, shitty Chem propulsion nukes or whatever is being launched at the aliens are so fucking slow that they're seen hours before they even get close to the ship, which zaps it with lasers to destroy it
One goy isn't good enough.
