Boonta Blaster

The Boonta Blaster was a Huttese weapon named for the infamous and deified Hutt who allegedly commissioned the first of its kind: Boonta Hestilic Shad'ruu. They were bejeweled weapons that cost 1,000 credits and were often custom designed as ornamental scepters for a specific Hutt or passed down as family heirlooms.

Its blaster components were concealed beneath small fortunes in gems and other rare metals, and the energy beam was emitted from a massive gemstone. The Hutts relied on the Boonta Blaster as their last line of defense in case their bodyguards were defeated, but were far more often used to execute those who displeased them.
