The Burning

The Burning was a process in which a blaster muzzle was pressed against an individual's skin, peeling the skin from the flesh beneath. By 10 BBY, Captain Carabba of the Blazing Claw had scarred the pirate Patchwork Fiddich through the Burning by pressing a blaster against Fiddich's cheek. Fiddich still bore the scar when he later mutinied against Carabba's successor, Gunda Mabin, who later wrote about it in the book that would become known as the Smuggler's Guide.
