Accu-accelerator

An accu-accelerator was a component from the ignition system in a capital ship's ion drive. The Jawas of the planet Tatooine scavenged accu-accelerators from the wrecks of starships, and used them as an integral part of their custom-built Jawa ionization blasters. Combined with a droid restraining bolt, the accu-accelerator was part of a specially built ion accelerator. When an ionization blaster was fired, it activated the restraining bolt, broadcasting the droid shut-down command which was amplified by the accu-accelerator.
