Electro-proton bomb/Legends

The Electro-Proton bomb was a devastating weapon developed by the Galactic Republic by the time of the Clone Wars. This large warhead had been developed by the top scientists of the Republic and was a powerful explosive warhead capable of great level of destruction though its primary effect was aimed at droids. It was deployed onto the battlefield by bombers and once dropped, it first created a great explosion whereupon a wave of energy erupted from the drop zone that radiated outwards. This energy was capable of knocking out and destroying any form of droid that encountered the wave. Certain forms of vehicles and equipments were also affected by this unknown form of energy.

Supreme Chancellor Palpatine authorized the use of the electro-proton bomb on Malastare when the Confederacy of Independent Systems deployed a large Droid Army on the planet in order to secure its fuel reserves. Doctor Boll assured those present that the weapon would only affect droids and that the clone troopers and other organic beings would not be harmed by its use. The native Dugs agreed to the decision in order to defeat the massive army of battle droids which was successful in defeating the Separatist threat. Later, Doge Urus had some fears that the bomb might had effects on the delicate balance of Malastare's ecosystem. Following the use of the bomb, the last of the Zillo beasts had awakened from its slumber deep beneath the planet's surface and began attacking any threat to its existence.
