A sizable and streamlined explosive device, referred to as a thermal bomb, was launched from Imperial facilities on Despayre in response to any prisoner rebellions.
According to Nova Stihl's account, should a prisoner seize a guard as a hostage, a thermal bomb would be deployed to the exact location, resulting in the deaths of the prisoner, the guard, and anyone within a one-hundred-meter radius, leaving behind a charred indentation. Moreover, the bomb was programmed to target an embedded device unique to each guard on the planet. Locating this device would necessitate removing the guard's skin, and even upon the guard's death, the implant would persist in transmitting a signal indicating the wearer's demise. By the time this occurred, escaping the bomb's blast radius would be impossible.
