Nuclear fission

Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of a particle splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei). The fission process often produces free neutrons and photons (in the form of gamma rays), and releases a very large amount of energy even by the energetic standards of radioactive decay. The Pho Ph'eahianS had developed this by the time of their first encounter with the Galactic Republic, and during the First Battle of Osarian, Nom Amor and Shok Tinoktin left Rhommamool on a modified A-Wing with nuclear fission explosives tucked inside, in an attempt to fake their own deaths.Reactor cores could sometimes be powered by nuclear fission, and 2a fission engines were powered by this as well.
