Plasma bomb/Legends

Plasma bombs were a type of plasma weapons used on Rebel Alliance Mon Calamari Star Cruisers. In 1 ABY, a group of star cruisers Battle of the Sixela system released their bombs to create a cloud of ionized gases 1000 meters across. The cloud interfered with electronic systems. Rebel pilot Luke Skywalker was pursued by a squadron of TIE/ln starfighters through the cloud; he maneuvered to the side, letting the TIES hit an Imperial Star Destroyer hidden by the cloud, causing serious damage to the starship.
