It’s a thought that may have crossed your mind at some point: what would be the practicalities of firing your enemies into the Sun?..

That’s a fucload of delta-v. just shoot them out of the solar system. It’d be cheaper.
If you don’t mind waiting a few thousand years, you can cut the delta-v requirements in half by traveling to the edge of the solar system first and then burning retrograde at aphelion.
Or do like the Parker Solar Probe did and catch multiple gravity assists off Venus.
Ah yes, the Oberth Kuiper Maneuver: https://xkcd.com/1244
If you’re really hell-bent on burning them up, I suppose you could aim them at some other star.
Or chuck them into an active volcano.
I mean, the idea was to try to fulfill both the “fire them into the Sun” and “minimize ∆V” requirements at the same time, but sure, that’s an option too.
