For this build challenge, you may use only carbon allotropes. ONLY.
Ok, well, nuclear fuel may be tough to find in carbon... Ok, you can use your favorite nuclear fuel.
Reaction mass is also a little hard to find in pure carbon forms, so you may use any hydrocarbon as a fuel, but no pure oxygen tanks! There has to be at least a little carbon in any tank.
Aside from the control modules, the reaction mass, and the nuclear fuel, all components must be a pure allotrope of carbon. If that's not possible, the module can't be used.
Max of 300Mc and 15 Kt, but those are soft limits to keep them from getting too large; mainly I just want to avoid moon-sized orbs of graphite.
Build a combat vessel. It should have weapons that can handle a mixture of combat situations. There's no inherent limitations to these besides the limitations of the materials.
Modding is OK for this challenge to change limits and add allotropes if you really want them.
EDIT: Aluminum structural supports and other mandatory aluminum is OK.

Thermocouple made from Carbon?

Thermocouple made from Carbon? The best high temperature thermocouple is (3D-)graphene/pyrolitic carbon

Thermocouple made from Carbon? The best high temperature thermocouple is (3D-)graphene/pyrolitic carbon I'm finding that Graphene-Pyrolitic carbon seems to be the most easily implementable.

I suggest you split it into two categories, one with mods and one without, in order to keep some semblance of fairness. Otherwise, we'll all be forced to add space magic (graphene) in order to compete.

By stock, I don't think any thermocouples can be pure carbon allotropes. If someone manages to do it, I'll give them a separate category.
