Prerequisites: Cluster Pod Theory
Research Cost: Pending
Description
The Anti-Starfighter Cluster Pod is one of the more insidious and effective anti-starfighter weapons available. These cluster pods release a burst of shrapnel in the initial detonation, followed by a cloud of magnetized grenades, and were highly effective against massed, unshielded starfighters.
Each AS-Cluster Pod consists of preliminary charges, the main bomb, a bomb thruster to propel the shrapnel and grenades, breakaway explosive dampeners, and the outer blister shell.
