Microdetonator

Microdetonators were small explosive devices similar to thermal detonators, and used during the Galactic Civil War.

Description
Microdetonators were often used when stealth was preferred over a larger, more noticeable detonator. Although small, they packed enough of a punch to destroy small objects and were thus used to cause distractions or cause chaos in enemy forces.

History
A microdetonator was used by Rebel Alliance soldier Brand to destroy a chemical barrel inside the Galactic Empire's Distillery on Coyerti. This caused a signifigant distraction, redirecting the attention of Imperial personnel inside to a potential saboteur and the chemical leak. After the detonation, a squad of the Rebel Alliance's Sixty-First Mobile Infantry were able to destroy the facility.

Behind the scenes
Microdetonators first appeared in the 2015 canon novel Battlefront: Twilight Company, written by Alexander Freed.
