A crude but effective melee weapon, often little more than a long stick with a fire-sharpened end, used to skewer one's opponents in hand-to-hand combat. Spears can be thrown by hand (or tentacle, or whatever other appendage you might have handy), but with insufficient range to consider them as artillery weapons. This is a ground combat technology item and cannot be produced directly; instead, possessing this technology affects the capabilities of your existing ground forces.
