The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a type of heavy munition carried by the [[Imperial Navy]] [[Marauder Colossus]] Bomber.{{Fn|1}}
Weighing 10,000kgs (22,046lbs), the Colossus Bomb is used to attacked attack hardened targets and underground facilities. The bomb is a huge guided weapon, containing a sophisticated guidance system controlled by the bombardier. Its [[diamantine armor]] armour-penetrating tip, mass reactive fuse, and [[Meltamelta]] warhead allows it to penetrate deep inside a target before exploding with devastating force. In order to give the Bombardier bombardier time to guide the weapon onto the target and to allow the warhead to aimarm, the Colossus is dropped from a high altitude. This reduces the bombs bomb's usefulness, and bomber crews know that the longer they have to aim the weapon, the more effective it will be. However , this means a slower approach to the target.{{Fn|2}}
