Duracable

Duracables were a type of cable used during the reign of the New Republic. Four duracables were used to hold up a Mobquet Nebulon-R Racer swoop bike in the Binary Bar on the planet Venaari. The cables were severed by the Human thief Sienn Sconn who shot them with a wrist laser guantlet, causing the bike to swing down into an Imperial Stormtrooper attempting to shoot at him in the bar and pin him to the floor.

Behind the Scenes
Duracables first appeared in the short story One of a kind written by Paul Danner and orginally published in Star Wars Adventure Journal 5 in 1995 and then later republished as a Star Wars Hyperspace article in 2004.
