Floating Bomb

The Floating Bomb is an ingenious device developed by the ISA for denying enemy troops a route to manuver on the battlefield.

Unassuming Destruction
The Floating Bomb is an unassuming device when deployed in battle. The bomb is actually a primitive synthetic lifeform repurposed for combat. The bomb floats like a balloon, innocently looking for a place to roost for a recharge. Singulus troops overlook the device due its clumsy behavior of bumping into obstacles, rolling on the ground, or just flying in circles. When the bomb is captured or detects a threat however, it falls onto the target and explodes its small antihelium store to devastating affect.

While some have argued that using a primitive lifeform as a bomb is unethical, the ingenious part of the device is that the explosion is a vector of procreation for the lifeform. The explosion scatters minature Floater hexabytes in the surrounding areas, ensuring enough young survive long enough to mature into adults. When they mature, the imprint left by the mother Floater will instruct the new Floaters to continue to treat Singulus targets as a threat to their survival. When used enmasse, entire flocks of Floating bombs can be stored and dispersed on Singulus worlds to harrass the enemy and conduct small crippling strikes against Singulus targets.
