Okay, so with today's chat on Teams, people seemed receptive to the idea of the School Ships getting Handwaviumized, and subsequently going all Space Battleship Yamato on us....
...Minus the fuck-off-huge gun-o-doom.
The method for Handwavium getting into the setting in the first place will be because Doctors Doofenschmirtz and Dinosaur somehow found some and were using it for their used spaceship scheme. (Use the Wave to turn landmark building that resemble spaceships into actual space ships, corner the market on used space ships just before the aliens start arriving.) Thing is, they used Spindizzy drives and wound up creating unreal estate instead. Oops.
As for why not the rest of Fenspace? Well, because the authors are already there. All you need is the Handwavium, yes/no?
At any rate, we never got around to exactly how it would happen, but with Handwavium? It should always start out as an accident.
Although if a too-clever-for-their-own-good school girl decides she wanted to use Handwavium on her tank to get a leg-up on the competition.... Yeeeeaaaaahhhh, we've all seen enough anime to know where this is going.
Thoughts?
