Plasma bomb

Plasma bombs were a type of explosive plasma weapons in use during multiple periods of history, especially during the final decades of the Galactic Republic and in the Galactic Civil War. The ordnance was constructed for a time in the Tython system. They were used by Bartokk assassins in an attempt to destroy the Corulag Academy. Later, the Alliance to Restore the Republic used plasma bombs on Mon Calamari Star Cruisers; the bombs were set off as a diversion during the Battle of the Sixela system in 1 ABY. By 7 ABY, the Scohar Xenohealth Institute had acquired a plasma bomb as a precaution against a contagion outbreak.
