So I was thinking about how a future war could play out, far in the future between two races that have developed FTL technology.

A lot of stories talk about FTL ships. It's a staple of sci-fi going back decades.

But have any stories talked about FTL weapons? Let's say there are two planets in a war where Planet A started a war with Planet B, 100 light years apart. Planet B then attaches an FTL drive to an asteroid, and directs it at Planet A. Even the smallest of asteroids moving at light speed would be cataclysmic to the planet, but the most interesting thing is that because it's moving at FTL speeds, the weapon could hit the planet before Planet A even started the war.

It's essentially a time traveling planet killer. Are there any stories that explore something like this?
