Electronet

An electronet was an antipersonnel wire-guided grenade often used by bounty hunters to capture targets.

An electronet was composed of a webbing of sticky, current-conducting fibers encased in the small warhead of a grenade-style canister round. It was typically fired from a standard grenade launcher.

A thin control wire connected to the projectile, and a signal from the operator’s control panel caused the warhead’s outer casing to discharge. This forced the interior webbing to unravel and expand to a two meter diameter. When it came into contact with a target it unleashed a variable electrical charge sent through the trailing wire. The discharge could range from stun to lethal.

An electronet grenade typically cost 2,000 credits for a magazine of 5 grenades.
