A billion is a statistic
A Million is a horrid loss
Woo...yep, I said woo.:crazy:

A couple issues with that. ONe of these, is that if we use IRP scale, you would only gas a large city. Second, the blast would incinerate most of it, and shunt more out of the atmosphere. Third, you need prolonged exposure to generate phycical dependency. even if the gas hit a city, it would be a Physchological Dependence. They would go through -hell-, but it couldent kill them. To do that, you would have to drive -7- or so barges full of cardimine, which fusion reactors would probably have killed most people and or caused nuclear winter.

' Wrote:Wasn't there reference to Nanites and chemical weapons as well? Huh?
Anyways, the WMDs of Discovery are Nanites, Chemical weapons, Nukes, Antimattter and Karlotta.
Note: "Practical."
The efficacy of a weapon is not only measured in its destructive potential, but in its ease to be produced, delivered, and used safely... see "Colony Drop" for an example of all of these. Nukes are generally small, pack quite more than the needed punch for all but planets, and would be quite cheap to produce. (Note: All nuclear weapons by this time would be at least thermonuclear weapons, if not something past that... look up their destructive potential vs. a simple nuke and you'll see what I'm talking about.)

But, its a non factor, as in, not here

That Cleric, is what a thermobaric weapon could possibly do to a Sigma-13 Gas Cloud.

But yeah, fire a Heavy Mortar at a Planet. Boom.
MOX Bombing wouldn't be that good. THe Phantom's one didn't really slow Cambridge down that long I think. What was it the Corsairs did to Cork, Thermonuclear warheads?
But yeah, I think there'd be something like the Geneva Conventions (banned chemical warfare) to restrict this kind of thing.

Why not an atmospheric deprivation device? You know, like they used in Homeworld?
