Assisted Planetary Fusion Ignition (A1-0)

Assisted Planetary Fusion Ignition, or APFI, is the process in which a Jovian or celestial body composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, but which does not meet the mass criteria for sustained nuclear fusion, is ignited artificially through the use of low yield nuclear weapons, prompting short-lived fusion reactions within its atmosphere.

This is a rather primitive technology used for the achievement of energy from gas bodies without the use of stellification engines, with the downside of having to provide the body with a constant flow of fission weapons for its continued functioning.
