Fission Bomb

A fission bomb is a standard nuclear bomb developed in the 1940's by the American army. President Grace permits the first test blast of a fission bomb in Alaska in 1944. In his speech confirming the bomb, Grace said; "Let it be known that American Isolationism is not cowardice, but restraint." However, America has insufficient quantities of enriched uranium to create a more effective nuclear bomb with large energy yields. This insight had redirected the military's investment to conventional weapons development and biological research instead. It is not until after the success of Operation Allied Shield that SRPA has gained access to recovered data from the nuclear reactor in Axbridge, England which provided the nuclear research team in SRPA NT the need to create a powerful, six kiloton fission bomb. SRPA NT, under the director of Robert Oppenheimer, built a strong yielding fission bomb code-named "Nellie", to be used in Operation Black Eden as a last resort to the destruction of the Chimeran fleet in the Yucatan peninsula, which the bomb was set to explode at the range of 500 feet away. Nathan Hale, Capelli, Blake and other remaining Black Ops, including X-Ray Squad, head into the Chimeran flagship hovering above the Chicxulub Crater, Mexico to set and detonate the bomb. The entire Chimeran Fleet was completely devastated in the ensuing explosion, leaving Nathan and Capelli the only survivors.
