Ion energy converter

An ion energy converter was a blaster component that could be used along with an ion casing to install a burst ion module in a VM-19 heavy blaster pistol.

During 3 ABY, the contract broker Danka Orsato gave a job to scoundrel Kay Vess which required an ion blaster. Rather that buying a new blaster, Vess stated that she could modify her VM-19 heavy blaster pistol and Orsato sent her to pick up an ion casing from their contact Belo Roovin's pawn shop. Vess asked Roovin where she could get ion energy converters after picking up the ion casing, to which Roovin informed her that those were illegal to sell. Afterward Vess used her comlink to contact Waka, a mechanic who was working to repair her ship, who informed her that she would need to steal converters from either Crimson Dawn or the Pyke Syndicate. Vess later she retrieved the converters and used them, the ion casing and the workbench in her ship to modify her blaster.
