A '''lifebuster''' is an explosive weapon of mass destruction used by the [[Krell (Skyward)Superiority|Krell]] to subdue the human population of [[Detritus]].{{book ref|Skyward|10}}
 
Lifebuster bombs explode in three stages. The first wave is a downward blast that penetrates rock, exposing caverns underneath it. The second one consists of a strange greenish-black corrosion that causes a chain reaction in organic matter and exterminates life. The third explosion is a shock wave meant to further spread the "terrible burning green light" of the second stage to places where it may kill more living things.{{book ref|Skyward|31}}
The first time it was used was when the leaders and scientists of the [[Defiant]] fleet all gathered in one cavern to discuss plans after the Defiant Fleet crashed landed on [[Detritus]]. The [[Krell]] dropped a lifebuster bomb to destroy all of the computers and humans in the cavern hoping to set back the Defiant fleet indefinitely.{{book ref|skyward|17}}
 
During the second battle[[Battle of ALtaAlta Second]] the Krell attempted to drop another lifebuster onto Alta Base, after the attention of the DDF fighters had been diverted by falling wreckage.{{book ref|skyward|53}} The Krell were given permission to completely destroy the human settlement on the prison planet Detritus.{{book ref|skyward|epilogue}}
