Unstable Molecules

Unstable Molecules AKA Chaotic Matter

"Unstable Molecules" is the codename given an advanced form of quantum matter know for replicating or annihilating (in equal measure) any other form of matter to which it is exposed more officially designated "Chaotic Matter". It was designed by a think tank made up of some of the most intelligent quantum engineers and physicists available to the Alliance starting in the '40s and finally deployed in a practical way in the '80s. It has been know to rapidly replicate itself in an out-of-control manner, devastating everything it encounters until there is no longer sufficient unaltered matter to maintain the chain reaction, realeasing enormous amounts of energy in the process. Efforts to use it for energy production have, unfortunately, been less than successful, due to the volatile nature of the matter. It has, however, been used as an unspeakably destructive doomsday weapon to end the war against the T'Karri, during Operation: Crusade since precision control of the reaction was not needed. The advanced adaptation technology of the T'Karri was unable to cope with the chaotic nature of the material's destructive power and their homeworld was destroyed.
