Encyclopedia > Thought bomb

A Thought bomb is a fictional weapon from the Star Wars universe. The only known thought bomb was activated by Lord Kaan in the catastrophic Battle of Ruusan. A thought bomb destroys all biological signs within a certain radius. Not even single-celled organisms survive. Mysteriously, a Sith Lord named Darth Bane escaped. The method which he used is still unknown. Lord Kaan killed himself and all the other Sith and Jedi on Ruusan. Bane never revealed his secret of how to escape a thought bomb; the secret died with him.

However, in the video game KotOR 2, It is theorised that Darth Nihilus used a Thought bomb to destroy a planets worth of life in the same way. That is one possibility, however, it is also said that Darth Nihilus purged the planet of all life by consuming all of it's force energies (an ancient Sith technique). Kreia knew this power could not be retaught, so upon Darth Nihilus' death this Ancient technique supposedly died with him. Although during the course of the game, if the Exile follows the Dark Side path, each Jedi he defeats results in him "absorbing" their Force energy. Kreia refers to this as "an old Sith technique".
