Ion charge

"That was an ion charge. Status?" "Circuits down. Doors sealed. We're cut off."

- Two troopers at Cylo-IV's research base

An ion charge was a missile carrying an ion payload used to breach and disable enemy defensive systems.

Aphra and Darth Vader utilized an ion charge during their assault on Cylo-IV's research base. Their ion charge, launched by Aphra from Vader's J-type 327 Nubian, caused an ion blast in the base's control room, rendering circuits, doors and communications inoperative.
