History[]
There has been controversy on Earth over the use of the Q Bomb: Religious fanatics say that the Federation shouldn't decide what planet lives and dies; politicians don't bother; and military officials think that since the Bugs don't use a Q Bomb, why shouldn't they?
The Q Bomb was first launched and tested within the Arachnid colony on planet OM-1 to destroy Behemecoatyl, the God Bug. Starship Troopers 3: Marauder
Years later, Sky Marshal Amy Snapp attempted to put down Martian Independence by using a Q-Bomb. Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars
Notes[]
- After doing much research into the Q-Bomb from Starship Troopers 3: Marauder, some fans believe it's a quantum accelerated high explosive bomb.
