What’s is a better and more epic way to destroy an “impenetrable” defense system than smashing them with massive chunks of dry ice at 99% the speed of light?

And here we see the light speed version of a "Fuck you".

They did make it realistic by not adding the sound of the explosion out of space

From Legend of Galactic Heroes, second novel titled "Ambition", Chapter 7;

" _The twelve gigantic blocks of ice sped toward the twelve military satellites._

_It was a sight that beggared the imagination. As their speed increased, the frozen cylinders gained in mass, becoming ever more powerful weapons. The radar and sensor reconnaissance systems with which the satellites were furnished latched on to the rapidly closing ice blocks. They were neither energy waves nor metallic objects, but rather compounds of hydrogen and oxygen---in and of themselves, harmless. Even so, their mass and speed were regarded as threat factors, and the satellites' computers took action._

_A laser cannon locked its sights on an ice block and shot out a column of superheated energy. A perfectly circular hole three meters in diameter opened in the wall of ice. Not even a high-output laser cannon could pierce all the way through the ice, however. The laser's characteristically strict unidirectionality impeded the spread of destructive effect, leading, conversely, to negative results. But that wasn't all: a portion of the ice also vaporized, generating a large quantity of steam, which robbed the laser of heat energy. What's more, in an absolute-zero vacuum, the steam refroze immediately as soon as it formed, transforming into a cloud of ice crystals that, in accordance with the law of inertia, continued to speed ahead at nigh-luminal velocities. Though missiles were fired and the flashes of their detonations lit up the surface of the icy mass, they, too, had no visible effect, having been shredded by passage through the crystals before striking the central mass._

_On the bridge of Yang's flagship _Hyperion_, the crew voicelessly watched this spectacle, and the communications officer's head swam with the rapidly changing numbers displayed by the mass reader. The nearer the ice missiles approached the speed of light, the greater their mass swelled._

_They collided._

_The ice shattered. So did the satellites. Shards of ice danced in the voice, reflecting sunlight and planetary light, casting a dazzling brilliance throughout the surrounding space. Each and every ice shard had hundreds of tons of mass. But as they glittered beautifully on the screen, one could believe they were lighter than snowflakes. The broken fragments of satellite were already indistinguishable._ "

props to the orchestra being able to play in the vacuum of space.

Feels like that railgun scene from The Expanse, where they try to destroy the Martian nuclear missile silo platforms.

If it wasn't for this moronic attempt at a coup that resulted in the Artemis' Necklace destruction, Yang-Wen-Li would have defeated Reinhard and won the galactic war.
