Latch-on thermal detonator

A latch-on thermal detonator was a type of custom thermal detonator that was utilized by the human former Nihil Krix Kamerat during the High Republic Era. In 228 BBY, Kamerat told members of the Supreme Coronet City Diplomat Protection that he wished to involve one such detonator in an assassination attempt on the Evereni Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro, which was not favored by the members.

Kamerat continued with the attempted assassination and managed to hurl the bomb at Ro while onboard the starship Gaze Electric, but the device was intercepted by the She'ar bodyguard Arathab Fal. With the detonator clung to Fal's chest, the Tarnab quickly jumped on top of Kamerat with the explosion killing both.
