subatomic fission is generated by a quark bomb. Quark bombs being a de-terraforming bomb. Basically causes a ripple of unstable "quark" energy across every atom on, and in the planet, causing it to com apart at a sub-atomic level. The bomb itself had no actual defense, hence the galactic treaty drafted to prohibit it's use. Hence the term Subatomic fission. Had I wanted to refer to a 60 year old bomb, I would have said nucular.
Nerd fail.
Unfortunately, like most sci-fi, this also contains a science fail. ![]()
