Plasma jet

A plasma jet, also known as a Plasma Burrowing Jet, was a mining tool mounted on the 11-17-series mining droid. It produced a superheated beam of plasma for burrowing through rock. The jet's beam could be modified in size, ranging from a needlepoint discharge all the way up to a half-meter low-intensity cone.

Over the course of a few months Solace found parts and built a small two-person craft that resembled an ARC-170 with a plasma jet in place of where the nose would be, making the nose appear cut off. Alongside Ferus Olin and Trever Flume, Solace and the other two used the craft and plasma jet to break into the Jedi Temple.
