{{Quote|This is the prototype NOVA bomb, nine | {{Quote|This is the prototype NOVA bomb, nine fusion warheads encased in [[lithium triteride]] armor. When detonated, it compresses its fissionable material to neutron-star density, boosting the thermonuclear yield a hundredfold. I am [[Vice Admiral]] [[Danforth Whitcomb]], temporarily in command of the [[UNSC]] military base [[Reach]]. To the Covenant uglies that might be listening, you have a few seconds to pray to your damned heathen gods. You all have a nice day in hell...|[[Vice Admiral]] [[Danforth Whitcomb]]'s recording on the NOVA bomb, right before it is activated in the space adjacent to the planet [[Joyous Exultation]].}} | ||
The '''NOVA bomb''' is a [[nuclear weapon|nuclear explosive device]] used by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. Described as "planet killers", NOVAs contain a very high-yield combination of nine nuclear fusion warheads, the explosive power of which is harnessed to compress additional [[Wikipedia:lithium|lithium]] triteride fusionable material to astronomical densities and magnify the overall blast to titanic proportions.{{Ref/Novel|Id=FS19|FS|Chapter=19}} It is quite possibly the most destructive weapon utilized by either side in the [[Human-Covenant War]]. | The '''NOVA bomb''' is a [[nuclear weapon|nuclear explosive device]] used by the [[United Nations Space Command]].
