Sonic detonator



The Sonic Detonator was a type of grenade used to inflict small amounts of damage as well as stun a foe or group of foes. As their name suggests, they used intense waves of sound to inflict damage upon their targets. Typically producing a sudden burst or 'squeal' of very high frequency sound, they were used to incapacitate organic enemies by causing piercing, intense pain in hearing organs. They could render most species helpless by destroying hearing temporarily or even permanently on an unlucky target.

Sonic Detonators were used by mercenaries and security guards to stun foes before closing in with a restraining or lethal device. Soldiers tended to stick to more lethal grenades, valuing kill over capture in the field of battle; however, they could sometimes be found in use when embarking on missions in urban zones, thus reducing the possibility of collateral damage to civilians, or when facing an enemy such as the Bith, whose extremely sensitive hearing left them highly vulnerable to such weaponry.
