"Nothing like thermite in your face, eh boys?"

— Cade McDonough

Thermite grenades are a type of explosive incendiary ordnance used by the United Nations Space Command. The flames from the thermite grenade can burn underwater. Thermite shaped charges such as thermite paste or thermite-carbon cords are also used to quickly gain entrance to locked areas.

In 2552, two Office of Naval Intelligence personnel discussing Doctor Catherine Halsey suggested killing her and throwing her body "into a box of thermite grenades", should she interfere with their work, with the thermite grenades' effects sufficient to render her body unrecognisable.
