R-TechApp Man Trap

Advertised as a safe, non-lethal way to subdue a fleeing target, the Ubrikkian R-TechApp man trap was a one-meter square metal slab rigged with gravfield generators that could intensify local gravity by a factor of eight. Not even a Wookiee could escape. The R-TechApp had a remote activator that came with a 10-meter cord.

The R-TechApp model had a number of detrimental side effects, however. A pinned subject's heart & lungs often struggled under the heavy gravity, while vital fluids were forced through grav-compressed passages that could burst from the strain. Blood would puddle in abdominal organs while the brain starved from lack of oxygen and cardiac arrest was a high likelyhood. Bounty hunters who didn't frequently check their man traps often found a dead mark when they returned.

The Krish business magnate Tyro Viveca had a R-TechApp hidden on the grounds of his estate, which he used during his hunting excursions. In 0 ABY the thief Cecil Noone was caught in one & barely managed to survive.
