- ―Jai Kell
Blaster gas was a chemically-enhanced[1] energy-rich fluid that was used in blasters. Stored in cartridges[2] or ampoules,[3] blaster gas was converted to a plasma-based particle beam which was then shot against targets to pierce or melt them.[2] Types of blaster gas included tibanna,[4] irolunn[5] and eleton.[3] More exotic blaster gases produced specialized effects, such as the armor-piercing sig -which forced the Galactic Republic to form the Bureau of Sig, Spice and Slavery to regulate its use.[6]
The Imperial cadet Jai Kell once quipped that Sergeant Currahee lived on blaster gas and molten carbonite.[1]
