The Electro-Proton Bomb/Defoliator was a bomb rumored to be under development by the Imperial Military Department of Advanced Weapons Research led by Director Orson Callan Krennic of the Galactic Empire. It was based off of the electro-proton bomb used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, and was combined with technologies found in the Separatist defoliator. General Airen Cracken of the Rebel Alliance believed it to be highly dangerous, knowing that Krennic employed ex-Separatist scientists in his agency.[1]
