Space Demolition
From Stars!wiki
One of the primary racial traits. Space Demolition races excel at laying minefields, and have the unique ability to remote detonate their own minefields.
SD races are time-consuming to play, due to the amount of micro-management required to manage all the minefields. They even more time-consuming to fight against, due to the effort of constantly sweeping the SD minefields.
