ROANOKE CROW is a theoretical EBE artifact whose effects were observed during Operation VEHEMENT HARPIST and Operation ESSENTIAL NOMAD.  It is an unidentified device, possibly similar to a terrestrial hand grenade in form factor and employment.  It is capable of producing an intense thermal pulse with attendant radiation release.

Thermal effects appear roughly spherical in nature, with the primary radius of destruction confined to a 7-meter radius.  Peak temperatures are estimated at 40,000ºK determined to be 41,500ºK.  Accompanying the thermal pulse is an incidental release of gamma and X-ray radiation.  Radiation levels are measurable but not believed to do not exceed the threshold for human exposure limits.
