Electrostatic Charge Detonator
developed by BlasTech Industries for used by the Grand Army of the Republic, this explosive device delivered a powerful electrostatic discharge across a large blast radius. Anything within the blast radius suffered from exposure to the discharge: living beings were electrocuted, while the circuitry of droids and other computer-controlled systems was fused or damaged and rendered inoperable. The wepaon was exceptionally effective against the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, but the backsplash of energy often shut down the computer systems in the helmet of Phase I or Phase II Armor, so any clone troopers using an EC detonator had to ensure they got out of the blast radius after launching one.
