Nova bomb

Nova bombs are torpedo weapons with high-grade explosive components that are usually fitted on starships. A High Guard ship of the line may contain as many as forty nova bombs in its weapons' bay. Nova bombs are also used by the smaller Type 2 Arclight slipfighter spacecraft. A substantive supply of nova bombs contains enough destructive firepower to destroy a sun, a black hole or even an entire star system.

History
In CY 9784, at what would become known as the Battle of Hephaistos, Commander Gaheris Rhade of the starship Andromeda Ascendant recommended using Nova bombs to combat a Nietzschean fleet 10,000 strong. Captain Dylan Hunt countered his recommendation, stating that such an assault would destroy the entire star system.

In CY 10087, Captain Hunt was forced to launch the Andromeda 's entire Nova bomb payload at a rogue black hole in order to save his ship from being crushed within its gravitational singularity. Forty Nova bombs were launched, causing the black hole to explode outward, turning it into a white hole.
