Bombardment Animation
There is an entity named "orbital_bombardment_effects" in the file "gfx/models/planets/_planetary_entities.asset". Without modding this file, any custom bombardment stances will have neither animations nor sound effects.

# --- If multiple states named "bombard_xxx" exist, a random state is used, weighed by the "chance" field --- #
# --- Add more state entries for a same bombardment stance to give some randomness to the animations --- #
# --- The more the "event" entries, the shorter the "state_time", the more fierce the animation will look like --- #
