The Strangelet Device

The Strangelet Device is a terrifying superweapon of the Singulus. The device uses a very small, but highly dangerous particle called a strangelet, an object that can convert normal matter into more strangelets.

Use and Effect
The Strangelet Device has only been used once in combat. A small Singulus research fleet emerged over a small moon of a rouge planet that harbored some of the survivors on the initial stages of the Human-Singulus war. The fleet deployed a single torpedo, and watched as the warhead made contact with the moon colony, converting its mass and its colonists into strange matter. In a hideous twist of fate, the strange matter moon's gravitational field pulled the research fleet into the dark and hot bubbling mass, and converted the attackers into strange matter as well.

Deeming the atrocity a failure, the Singulus have not used the Strangelet Device in combat ever since the initial experiment. Its is hypothesized that given the destruction of the research fleet, the precise method of containing and deploying such a device was lost when the fleet was pulled into the strangelet moon. Although this has setback research into the device, it remains to be seen if the Singulus will resume work on a second device.
