Capsule: Kirgo Blastworks’ “Lightning” 22 ion grenade is designed to disable electronic devices within its blast radius by emitting a powerful ionizing discharge. Ideal for disabling droids, vehicles, and targets carrying high-tech devices, the lightning is popular with skip tracers and bounty hunters. They are also fielded by saboteurs, particularly aboard starships where they can be used to disable hyperdrives, weapon systems, or even life-support.

The Lightning is roughly cylindrical in shape with a tapered top cap that shrouds its red arming button to reduce the risk of accidental activation. It also features a texturized black rubber body, a metal loop for webbing or belt attachment, and wheel selector for safety, timed or impact detonation. To arm the grenade, the operator selects either timed or impact before depressing the arming button for a full second, which will then begin to flash. The grenade may be disarmed by rotating the selector wheel back to safety within three seconds of arming it.

While originally designed for the Republic’s fight against the Separatists and their multitude of battledroids, the Lightning failed to launch before the war had drawn to a close due to a series of design issues and production delays. Thankfully, the Empire was keen to distance itself from what had gone before and eagerly ordered the Lightning to help finish off holdout Separatist forces. While not commonplace, the Lightning remains a firm fixture in the Imperial armory for specialist operations. Inevitably, more than a few dusty crates also fall into rebel hands.
