If the federation has the weapon at some point hte potential rebels have it too.What if the rebels attack first? (afterall they should know they are a threat before the federation does)

You could potentially blast a buffer zone of dead systems, maybe millions of them.

I suggest at its limits war is more a MAD (mutually assued destruction) solution than a conquest one. At present we have nuclear weapons and many consider this MAD.

I imagine small robots that can engineer the conditions for somthing like a black hole to form if they get past the enemy defenses. Now send so many that it is impossible for the enemy to protect everywhere.

Now your rebel planets have an ace up their sleeves if the galactic federation decides to come for a fight.
