* Destruction or contamination of [[greenhouse]]s
 
* Disconnection or destruction of [[energy]] network
 
* Disconnection or destruction of [[internet|telecommunication]] network
 
* Explosion, causing drop in air pressure
 
* Destruction of [[vehicles]] that are needed to reach peripheral sites of the colony
 
* Destruction of [[equipment]] that is needed for maintenance of vital systems
