Difference between revisions of "Lifebuster"

While very powerful, lifebusters seem to be of a certain scarcity and Krell forces would not risk to let the bomber carrying it get destroyed, which would detonate the bomb. Krell tactics are centered around how to carry the lifebuster close enough to destroy either the [[Alta Base]] or the caverns underneath. Krell interceptors are sent to protect the less agile bombers, and if the [[DDF]] manages to pose a risk of destroying the bomber, the Krell forces would retreat. As the DDF begins to learn more about the [[Superiority]]'s [[Cytonics#FTL_Travel|cytonic hyperjump]] capabilities, they speculate that the Krell don't simply hyperjump a lifebuster to directly over Alta Base because they are afraid of loosinglosing control over the details of hyperjump technology.{{book ref|sf1|11}}
