Electro-dart

An electro-dart or electro dart was a type of dart designed to temporarily stun an organic target by sending an electric current through the victim's body. The dart was a common weapon among bounty hunters in the era of the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. The salvager Hurd Coyle utilized electro-darts in the time soon after the rise of the Galactic Empire. When Coyle rescued the clone trooper pilot HOB-147, who had been stranded in space for several weeks, the salvager was forced to subdue the clone trooper twice with electro-darts because HOB-147 acted aggressively toward the smuggler, whom he falsely believed was working for the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
