Smoke Grenade

A Smoke Grenade is a simple metallic canister designed to emit a thick, persistent smoke cloud in order to shroud an opponent's vision. Related to, but not as effective as Blind Grenades, Smoke Grenades are used by the military forces of the Imperium of Man as a tool to take tactical control over the battlefield.

However, there exist many technologies among the various intelligent species of the galaxy that is more than capable of penetrating the visual obguscation caused by simple smoke. This can make these grenades inneffective in this role against certain well-equipped foes.
