Ligon

Ligons were force carrier particles responsible for the artificial force of ligism. Ligons had a mass of 1.33, which meant their range was limited, and smaller than that of trahons, but far greater than that of debilons and nullons, which had masses of 80 and 90 hypergrams respectively, and most importantly far greater than that of gluons, which although they were massless had their range limited by other quantum phenomena. Due to this, ligism could hold together nuclei of considerable size, far in excess of the maximum range of gluism.

Ligons had a particle spin of 3, a similarity they shared with equilons, the carriers of equilism.
