Description

One of the byproducts of Eden's metal smelting operations is an especially corrosive and unstable acid. In several unfortunate industrial accidents, containers of the material exploded, producing an even more reactive cloud that caused damage over a wide area before breaking down into an inert form. From these accidents, a new weapon was born. A method was found to stabilize the acid for safe handling, and yet allow it to be ignited at will. This acid is housed in special shells that can be launched from a low-velocity projectile weapon and exploded on or near a target. An almost undetectable aerogel "bubble" helps contain the cloud briefly and allows it to do extended damage over a controlled area. The cloud attacks metal, organics, plastics, and many other common materials. While it is a very effective weapon, it can be as dangerous to friendly units as enemy ones when used in close quarters.
