This is a comprehensive listing of the most common types of gravity bombs in use by the Third Imperium and the Regency of Deneb. These weapons were used throughout the Imperium on a variety of military aircraft, including helicopters and grav vehicles in addition to normal bombers and air support airfoil aircraft. All figures listed below assume ordinary unguided weapons, without special add-ons or guidance packages. The SEFOP warheads listed below are intended to be used with such packages, and are assumed to include parachutes for SADARM (Search and Destroy Armor) missions.
