Void-7 seismic charge

"Hang on, son! We'll move into the asteroid field. And we'll have a couple of surprises for him."

- Jango Fett

The Void-7 was a seismic charge produced by Krupx Munitions, and was considered to be the height of seismic weapon technology as of the Clone Wars era.

The Void-7 was comprised of a large, rounded canister containing a mix of unstable liquid baradium and volatile collapsium gas. This mix became supercharged by two electromagnetic exciter disks on either end of the weapon's core. Once released into space, these disks would infuse the core with energized impulses to excite the blended explosives. Upon impact, the Void-7 released a shock wave of such power that, for a moment, the initial blast created a vaccuum in space that literally sucked victims towards the heart of the explosion. Shields were unable to protect against a Void-7 shock wave. The explosive mix within a Void-7 could be altered to produce a shock wave that caused less collateral damage than the baradium-collapsium mix.



Jango Fett installed a Void-7 launcher aboard his starship, Slave I, prior to the Battle of Geonosis. Seismic charges were held in place by magnetic clamps, and released through an airlock situated between the vessel's engines. He deployed a number of seismic charges against Obi-Wan Kenobi's Delta-7 interceptor over Geonosis, knowing the Void-7's erratic trajectory would be difficult to evade even for a Jedi. However, Kenobi was able to avoid two seismic charges, and both he and Fett ultimately survived their dogfight.
