*Planet Buster : The Quasi-nuclear Planet Buster is future humanity's ultimate atrocity. Planet Busters destroy everything within a radius equal to their reactor size, often leaving immense craters. Under the U.N. Charter, use of Planet Busters is punishable by immediate expulsion from the Planetary Council and total military destruction. A Planet Buster attack while the Charter is still in effect is considered a major atrocity. All of the other factions will simultaneously declare Vendetta on your faction.

**Psi Attack : The Psi Attack weapon allows a conventional unit to make Psi attacks. Weapons and armor are ignored in Psi Combat, and the attacker receives a 3 to 2 advantage on land (1 to 1 at sea).

***Conventional Payload : The Conventional Payload weapons package can be used to create conventional missiles. It can only be used with a Missile Chassis. Conventional missiles attack at the following strengths, based on the missile's power plant:

Fission - 9
Fusion - 18
Quantum - 27
Singularity - 36
