==== Your fortress: ====
* Direct fire (guns, lasers, railguns)
* Area nukes (cluster H-bombs that are star-core hot)
* Erasers (atomizers)
* 100 miniature black hole cannons

The swarm:
* Astronomically many,
* Massive HP + shields + regen,
* Devour, split, mutate, hive mind,
* Multiply even from a hair strand…

…but only if matter is left in the universe.

With BH cannons, you finally have a weapon that:

So in this upgraded universe:
* Regular weapons carve and push them back,
* Nukes and beams control and sterilize space,
* Black hole shots are your “no, really, this region is DONE” button: - Swarm goes in, - Swarm never comes out.

If you want to keep going, the next step would be:
what if the swarm evolves some crazy interaction with gravity or singularities – like feeding off the black holes, or crawling back out via some exotic physics? That’s the only way they keep up with this level of nonsense.
