Sergeant Boom-Boom

"Sergeant Boom-Boom, I like to use against the Empire. Buy a Republic world another day of peace."

- Corso Riggs

Sergeant Boom-Boom was a weapon owned by the Human mercenary Corso Riggs during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. Riggs was in possession of the weapon while he served in the crew of a smuggler captain, who worked for the Republic as a privateer starting in 3,642 BBY and into the following Galactic War. Sergeant Boom-Boom was the weapon that Riggs favored using against Imperial opponents by the time the smuggler was working as a Republic privateer.

"If you want, you can borrow Sergeant Boom. He makes anyone look intimidating&hellip;"

- Corso Riggs speaking to the smuggler captain in cut dialogue

Sergeant Boom-Boom was first mentioned in the 2011 BioWare–LucasArts MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic] in "The Peace Brigade" and "In Harm's Way," two companion conversations between a smuggler player and Corso Riggs. The weapon was also going to be mentioned by Riggs in "Just Desserts," a Smuggler mission on the planet Corellia, but a section of the dialogue from that mission was cut from the final game. The cut dialogue indicated that Sergeant Boom-Boom was an intimidating weapon in the eyes of Riggs, but no dialogue from the game indicated what type of weapon Sergeant Boom-Boom was.
