'''Smart Bombs''', also known as '''B-bombs''', '''Nova Bombs''', or '''Bombs''', are high-yield and compact explosives used in both deep-space and atmospheric conflicts. Smart Bombs give off a large flash and explode over a respective blast radius, allowing an ace pilot to take out any unshielded star fighter in range. Smart Bombs either be fired manually or by using the [[Targeting Computer]]. They can be detonated either remotely or from impact. Smart Bombs were designed by [[Slippy Toad]].
