The Ilum is borne from the need to have a carbonite grenade capable of engaging small groups of people in a non-lethal way. In addition, it can be used in standard 40mm grenade launchers so that it can be fired both manually and using a dedicated grenade launcher. Thanks to its carbonite payload, the carbonite grenade expands rapidly within five meters of the detonation point thanks to its CryoBan explosive core. As it expands, the carbonite also hardens, freezing the people caught in the blast radius in place. However, its blast radius makes it an indiscriminate weapon, meaning that, even though the blast radius is 5m, it can encase and harden without regard to whom. Also, the further out from the detonation point, the more likely that carbonite may not fully enclose a target; if such is the case, the target(s) not fully enclosed risks suffering from carbonite poisoning, which is potentially lethal.
