Were an [[Endbringer]] thrown into Earth's Sun, the interdimensional portals that provide their bodies and powers might cause damage to the star.<ref>If one threw an Endbringer into the sun, though, given what the core is, both in immensity and that it's essentially a doorway into multiple realities, a lens to make the Endbringer projections manifest as reality, they might risk putting out the sun, or at least disturbing it to the point that Earth was gravely affected. - [https://www.reddit.com/r/whowouldwin/comments/2sju2u/the_endbringers_worm_vs_the_justice_league/cnqltzl/ Wildbow on Reddit]</ref><ref name="R3">I said 'might' - it's sort of up in the air, what happens if you... throw an adaptive denser-than-physics mass of interdimensional doorways into the sun.<br/>Even beyond that, individual powers pose questions...
*Behemoth.  Dynakinetic engine in the middle of a fuckton of energy?  Enough said.
*Leviathan, probably the least dangerous (though you're talking an excess of the [spoiler](#spoil "interdimensional doorways")) to throw into the sun, but also hardest to catch and keep hold of.
*Simurgh, mass scale telekinetic with a keen ability to process communications, working out means of producing signals via. butterfly effect and solar winds.  Ambient static and signal noise on Earth starts sounding like a song...
*Khonsu just makes his portals.  What goes in doesn't necessarily go out.  Sit in the middle of the sun and just let gravity bring energy into his fields.  Release.
*Tohu and Bohu?  Bohu is a macro scale space warper with an eye for design and the ability to control more space as she remains stationary.  Put her in the sun, let her gradually assert more control...

This allows them to conserve their inner reserves of power (which are vast, but they're playing a constantly escalating game, and they're aiming to maintain it over 300 years.)<br/>Throw them into the sun and they'll have no reason to hold back at all - they'll just spend all their reserved power at once. Saving it is useless, since they're stuck in the middle of a superdense star. - [https://www.reddit.com/r/whowouldwin/comments/2sju2u/the_endbringers_worm_vs_the_justice_league/cnv3m96/ Wildbow on Reddit]</ref>

The possibility of a host species evacuating large portions of their population from the planet is one the [[Entities]] considered long ago. [[Tinker]] shards that could grant mass-evacuation capabilities deliberately sabotage themselves to prevent a host from accomplishing such a thing, although individuals could potentially leave.<ref name="R2">By and large, the shards would sabotage attempts at going to space. Even Sphere's moon base was probably doomed from the start.<br/>[...]<br/>Avatars like Scion are there in part to ensure things continue smoothly. If people decided to mass evacuate, he'd step in.<br/>[...]<br/>It is a built-in limitation. Individuals could theoretically leave (Legend?), but mass transportation options would likely be sabotaged (like a Squealer spacehulk, or Sphere's power, for example).<br/>[...]<br/>[Eden shards] tend to be missing /current/ limitations; the ban on space travel is something that would be long-established, valid across multiple species. Other stuff varies for different plans of attack and the like. - [https://redd.it/32ni7z Wildbow on Reddit]</ref> Were large numbers of [[parahumans]] to leave the target planet, an avatar like [[Scion]] would step in to stop them.<ref name="R2"/><ref name="SB1">They don't want people leaving the planet they're working with. A very good reason to have an avatar like Scion around. Probably wouldn't draw his notice until people with shards started leaving in any greater number.<br/>
Anyway, joking about star wars aside, the question of how the shards would deal with a species that already has spacefaring abilities is an interesting one. Possibilities include:<br/>
*Going after one planet with a high influx of people and a steady growth rate. Operate as normal.
*Divide into sub-shards, have each worm becomes two or three avatars. Probably a slower development rate, but they can still operate on multiple key planets, and work in concert, treating a system as a single planet, for all intents and purposes.
*Broadcast a signal to all their entity buddies in that overarching section of space, so anything passing by is liable to reroute and home in. Easily ten+ entities working together. -

There are a number of possibilities for how Entities would deal with a civilization that already had routine space travel.<ref name="SB1"/>
