Cloud bombs are explosive devices composed of many tiny components that are inert until combined. The most advanced cloud bombs rely on nano-technology and can be embedded into complex systems (eg: human augmentations). They are practically undetectable without a direct and detailed examination of the carrier.
Propagating cloud bombs are extremely sophisticated versions that fabricate more explosive material in the augs of nearby people using the energy released from the initial explosion, causing devestating chain reactions. Some call them "Popcorn Bombs".
Such bombs are restricted to military use, and many nations have banned them outright, pushing for the UTC to classify their use as a war crime. |
