"If anyone is to ever use this, I only pray it is where God just happens to not be looking"

- A UNSC scientist having second thoughts about the device he helped make

The ANGEL bomb is a newly devised weapon built by the UNSC during its battles with the Covenant Remnant. Utilizing cutting edge Slipspace technology and a Plasma Field generator, the bomb acts much like a Slipspace portal does in an atmosphere, absorbing everything it expands around and vaporizes it instantly, after which it causes a severely horrendous explosion capable of cracking celestial bodies in half.

Use
The only recorded use of this device was during the 5th Battle of Sanghelios against the last Fleet of the Covenant Remnant. When it seemed inevitable the Remnant Fleet would reach Sanghelios, the Combined UNSC-Sangheili Fleet opposing it attempted to lead the Remnant Fleet away by jumping into Slipspace. Unfortunately the Remnant forces didn’t take the bait, and only a few ships had remained behind. One of these ships, a Kain-Class UNSC Cruiser belonging to Admiral Lord George Hood lead a last desperate attempt to stop the advance on Sanghelios. Driving the ship at full speed after forcing most of the crew to abandon ship, Hood’s AI, Mammon, detonated the ANGEL bomb directly in the face of the advancing Fleet, instantly vaporizing the UNSC Cruiser, and a good 2/3 of the Remnant Fleet.

The blast had blinding effects on the surrounding worlds, thankfully none inhabited as Sanghelios was further into the system. The resulting blast hurtled many Remnant ships out of control, and split several moons and hurtled debris all over the system.
