History

26th Century

The only recorded use of Destructo Bombs occurred in the 26th Century, when Commander Steg attempted to use one such bomb to attempt to destroy the Tiger Moth when Steg's remaining troopers were quickly being killed off by both the Rutan Spy and also the two remaining humans Kurt and Lisa Deranne. Steg and his remaining trooper attempted to leave, but were confronted and defeated by both Kurt and Lisa Deranne, who shot and mortally wounded Commander Steg after he injured Kurt with a hidden pistol. The Rutan then appeared and decided to spare both Lisa and Kurt due to them sharing a common enemy in the Sontarans, before declaring that it will go in the Sontaran Boarding Craft, while revealing it’s true form to Lisa before boarding the Sontaran ship. Steg suddenly regain consciousness and urgently warned Lisa of the Destructo Bomb he had left in the airlock tunnel. She quickly threw it into the Sontaran Boarding Craft the Rutan was trying to escape in. Steg fully redeemed himself by holding the closing airlock doors open long enough to save Lisa's life, before Commander Steg finally died. Not long after Steg’s death the Sontaran Boarding Craft had managed to get far away from the Tiger Moth before finally exploding, successfully killing the Rutan Spy.
