T-33 plasma torpedo

The T-33 plasma torpedo was a projectile weapon often carried by the K-wing bomber.

Sometimes known as "shieldbusters," "rotten eggs," or simply "eggs," their purpose was to disable deflector shield systems.

In order to accomplish this, they were designed to detonate at the shield perimeter and overload ray-shields with a powerful cone of radiation.

This radiation burst has been described as "several times the output of a capital ship's ion cannon batteries," but this description has not been explicitly quantified.
