What you know
Book 2: Judas Unchained
- Ch 7The weapon breaks down quantum-level cohesion of matter in its field, converting it to energy, and is meant as a decisive weapon against the Primes.
- Ch 7In the test, it disintegrated the entire moon, far exceeding the expected result of blowing it out of orbit.
- Ch 11Quantumbusters are carried on twenty-seven Moscow-class starships and are the only weapon the Primes don't know about; the Hell's Gateway fleet survivors will be equipped too.
- Ch 12Quantumbusters are doomsday weapons designed by Natasha Kersley and are not safe within a million km of an inhabited world.
- Ch 12Fired at maximum effect radius into the Hanko flare, a quantumbuster destroyed the flare bomb in a massive explosion, though it released its own severe radiation.
- Ch 16Ozzie proposes switching a quantumbuster from field to beam to knock out the Starflyer's disruption device, as the navy once did to flare bombs.
- Ch 19The quantumbuster would not load into its launch tube until Mark balanced the traction of the seven arms gripping it.
- Ch 19A quantumbuster converts a portion of target mass directly to energy, releasing radiation comparable to a medium-sized star.

The Moscow launches satellites and a prototype quantumbuster at a barren moon; it disintegrates the whole moon in a blaze of light.
- Book 2 · Ch 12Quantumbuster destroys the flare
Dublin fires a quantumbuster at maximum radius into the flare; the explosion wipes out the flare bomb and Prime covering ships, shocking MorningLightMountain. Wilson orders it repeated elsewhere.
