Deathblow Remote Missile

These are large fusion / Nuclear weapons, heavier and more energetic than the heavy fusion warheads of remote missiles.

Usually only available to planetary governments and the navy under special circumstances, they cause extreme damage across a large area of space.

The warhead is multistage, using an antimatter detonator to initiate D-T fusion, and this fusion reaction is used to energise a more energetic heavy element fission. The resulting explosion is devastating.
