A '''lifebuster''' is an explosive weapon of mass destruction used by the [[Krell (Skyward)|Krell]] to subdue the human population of [[Detritus]].{{book ref|Skyward|10}}
Lifebuster bombs explode in three stages. The first wave is a downward blast that penetrates rock, exposing caverns underneath it. The second one consists of a strange greenish-black corrosion that causes a chain reaction in organic matter and exterminates life. The third explosion is a shock wave meant to further spread the "terrible burning green light" of the second stage to places where it may kill more living things.{{book ref|Skyward|31}}
==
While very powerful, lifebusters seem to be of a certain scarcity and Krell forces would not risk to let the bomber carrying it get destroyed, which would detonate the bomb. Krell tactics are centered around how to carry the lifebuster close enough to destroy either the [[Alta Base]] or the caverns underneath. Krell Interceptors are sent to protect the less agile bombers, and if the [[DDF]] manages to pose a risk of destroying the bomber, the Krell forces would retreat.
== History ==
The first time it was used was when the leaders and scientists of the [[Defiant]] fleet all gathered in one cavern to discuss plans after the Defiant Fleet crashed landed on [[Detritus]]. The [[Krell]] dropped a lifebuster bomb to destroy all of the computers and humans in the cavern hoping to set back the Defiant fleet indefinitely.{{book ref|skyward|17}}
