Syntherope

Legends Canon version → Linked from 87 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Syntherope or synthrope, also known as synthecord, was a strong, synthetic rope. Among other things, it was used in ascension guns as a climbing tool which allowed the user to tether themselves and quickly travel upwards or horizontally.

The Tunroth bounty hunter Kiran Tatch was known to use it when capturing his quarry. Bandoliers stored them.
