Seismic charge

Seismic charges, also known as a seismic bomb, were devastating weapons that drew sound in from their immediate vicinity and exploded in concussive waves of brilliant blue light, shattering everything in their wake. A Charge Core was a component used in seismic charges. Jango Fett launched several Void-7 seismic charges from a deployer aboard his starship, Slave I, while trying to kill Obi-Wan Kenobi during their dogfight in the asteroid field that orbited the planet Geonosis.

Years later, during the Galactic Civil War, Luke Skywalker acquired Utheel Rockcrusher Compact charge during his mission to extract the Givin operator Drusil Bephorin. He deployed one to destroy an Immobilizer 418 cruiser.

In 9 ABY, Jango's son Boba Fett flew Slave I to the Great Pit of Carkoon to look for his lost armor. The Sarlacc inside the pit attempted to draw in the ship with its tentacles, but Fennec Shand dropped a seismic charge into the sarlacc's mouth, destroying it. Some time afterwards, Boba picked up Din Djarin and Migs Mayfeld following their raid on an Imperial refinery on Morak. Two TIE fighters pursued the ship as it escaped, but Boba quickly obliterated the fighters with a charge.
