fission (or even better, fusion) power plant that uses it's excess thermal energy to cut ice into biggest possible cylindrical projectiles
said slugs are then loaded into a gigantic steam powered spacegun with some basic hydrolox booster anchored to it to raise it's periapsis once it's up and get it orbiting
use nuclear tugs that use ice/steam/hydrolox as reaction mass to move them to correct delivery trajectory
meanwhile booster lands back by the gun to be refilled and reloaded
more tugs to redirect them on the receiving end or just let them slam into planetary surface at designated bombardment area (say, Eridanian sea)
