A lifebuster is an explosive weapon of mass destruction used by the Krell to subdue the human population of Detritus.[1]
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.[2]
Times used
The first time it was used was when the leaders and scientists of the Defiant [3] 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 Defaint fleet indefinitely.
