Holo objects are collections of photons and force fields. I don’t think they’d be very effective at penetrating another ships shields, or have the kind of range that torpedoes or phasers do. You might need holo emitter buoys.

I cannot remember what book it was in, but there was a situation where a teleportation device was used to transport a chunk of atmosphere from deep within a gas giant in to an assassination’s target’s apartment.
