Gravity bomb

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A gravity bomb was a slow torpedo that was designed to attack larger ships. The explosion from the weapon would generate intense gravity waves designed to shake targets to pieces by disrupting the local gravitic fields. The weapons were used by the forces of Cronal at the Battle of Mindor, by the Yevetha, and by the Imperial Navy at the Battle of Caamas.

At the Battle of Mindor, a single gravity bomb detonating nearby was sufficient to instantly destroy the Justice, an MC80 Liberty-type Star Cruiser.
