Micro Nova

Micro Novas are a phenomenon caused by the reaction of large Phantom Energy discharges with realspace matter.

Workings
When a large amount of Phantom Energy makes contact with realspace matter, the target turns into energy and discharges into a devastating, yet low radius, explosion of energy. The explosion, which has a small radius, is able to completely incinerate targets within the immediate blast, although targets outside the radius are often blown back or crushed by spatial distortions, as well as getting severely burned. The effects of a micro nova are able to incinerate Imperialite and deal heavy damage to Uux, although targets armored with such materials outside the immediate radius can survive with varying amounts of damage. When extreme amounts of Phantom Energy are used, such as those created by an Ultra Laser-like weapon, micro novas can completely incinerate planets and their satellites, and are able to pierce most planetary shields.
