Trivia

The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here.

• It is very likely based off Napalm, an incendiary gel that sticks to targets and surfaces and continues to burn on its own accord, similar to promethium.^[2]
• In 2nd Edition an aerial napalm run is not limited to any specific race or faction. It is likely used to represent an incendiary attack dropped from the air by any of the then available factions.^[1]
