No. Those were seismic charges, not sonic. Sonic weapons were in AotC, but were only ever used in atmosphere.

Sonic, seismic. BOTH are propagating waves.. So both shouldn't work in vaccum..

Depends on the method used to propagate. We already have tractor beam projectors that use energy to manipulate solid objects in space. If seismic charges are simply weaponized tractor beam energy, then they wouldn’t need a medium in which to propagate. Seismic charges could be concussion devices used in asteroid mining that get co-opted by Fringers as makeshift space mines, but side-step legal issues on account of having an ostensibly commercial use.
