Molecular Disruption and Destruction Device

User:Spartan 501

The Molecular Disruption and Destruction Device, otherwise known as the MDaDD, was one of the most powerful and destructive human weapons ever created.

Conception
The MDaDD was created twenty seven years after the end of the human covenant war. It was placed aboard limited numbers of ships and tested quietly on glasssed over systems. The results were stunning; it could destroy whole planets and fleets, and turn them into non-radioactive iron rich dirt. It could wipe out whole fleets that were placed to close together. However, after a classified incident where a system was completely obliberated, strict guidelines were imposed on the use of the weapon by the UNSC.

Operation
The MDaDD produces two beams whose focal point has the ability to disrupt the bonds between atoms in molecules. The device also creates a field in which nearby molecules are also destroyed, and each dissolved molecule widens the reach of the field. In the absence of nearby mass, such as in the vacuum of space, the field dissipates rapidly, but a tightly-clustered formation of ships could be easily destroyed.

The device is capable of destroying essentially any single object, or cluster of objects that are close enough together. It can destroy something as small as an enemy spacecraft, or something as incredibly large as an entire planet. In theory, it may even be able to destroy larger objects such as stars.

The MDaD uses a single has speed laser as it's delivering point, but can also be converted to missile form.
