Lightflame Bomb
Lightflame Bombs are a type of explosive used by Aians.
Design
The lightflame bomb is a metal structure containing a massively hot and pressurised ball of solid hydrogen at their core.
On detonation, the suspensor units holding this in place are deactivated, and the ball flies apart unleashing up to a gigatonne of TNT equivalent in yield. The explosion can also be shaped.
If powered down or decommissioned, the bomb is designed to slowly release its hydrogen into its surroundings so explosion does not occur. It can be overridden to bypass this failsafe.
Usage
Many Aian spaceships carry Lightflame Bombs.
They are used in bombardment and bombing campaigns as well as in space, where they are launched from torpedo tubes.
