Doomsday Device

The Doomsday Device is a small, yet incredibly powerful explosive device located in the lower parts of the Quarantine Enforcement Platform. It is stated by the PDA to have enough power to completely destroy Planet 4546B, as well as most of its solar system. During the 1,000 years it has been in the case it seems to have malfunctioned and is no longer usable.

Presumably, it was here as a last resort tactic to prevent a Kharaa outbreak.

Upon being approached, the device's red triangular parts will open out, revealing a small, glowing blue sphere and begin shaking whilst emitting high pitched noises.

Although seeming like a usable item, it is blocked off by an impenetrable lime-green glass box.

Trivia

 * The Doomsday Device is a reused model of an object originally created for Future Perfect.
 * The Doomsday Device and Alien Rifle Relics were originally in the Primary Containment Facility. They were moved to the Quarantine Enforcement Platform due to concerns about the base's interior feeling empty.
