I must be in a bad mood: I keep designing scifi WMDs. This time, it's not a biologic like the Miscegenation Virus.
One of the sides in a war was known psychic talent, and the other side was decidedly less so. So that side created a machine that would send out a psychic blast that would incapacitate the other side, and in tests it worked.
They test it on the field of battle? It's too strong, it covers too big of an area. Both sides take massive casulaties, and those who live are either insane or psychicly deffend. And it's not just the soilders - the blast is hundreds of miles wide and takes out hundreds and hundreds of population centers.
...The basic idea is a "tactical nuke" gone horribly, horribly wrong.
