This device was originally created to attach to a weapon and disrupt certain magnetic and plasma fields around pulse-wave weapons during the Old Republic. On certain planets, pulse-wave weapons would malfunction due to the presence of certain organic energy fields, like those given off by corusca gems. Initially the product was thought thought to be of little use, since few planets contained enough organic energy fields to present a problem. Thus, these Energy Disruptors never made it into widespread production, and what a fortunate turn of events that would be for the Jedi. One ill-fated day it was discovered that a side effect of these disruptors was that whenever a lightsaber was within the field's reach, it disrupted the energy flow within the Jedi weapon and caused a short circuit. Once the Jedi Council got wind of the device, they immediately had Greff-Timms Industrial recall all the devices that had been produced, but the news of its effect spread like wildfire and they became a very hot item on the black market. The Jedi destroyed as many as possible, though some say they hoarded a small number of them and used them to safely capture those Jedi which succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force. Today these items are but rumors of rumors, but who knows what can be dug up by an intrepid explorer...
Model: Greff-Timms Industrial Organic Energy Disruptor
Type: Lightsaber Energy Source Dampener
Cost: 8,000 when new; current black market prices exceed 100,000
Availability: 4, X
Game notes: This device emits a field of about a 10 foot radius which interrupts the flow of energy between the crystals within a lightsaber. At the edge of the field, the lightsaber will become much less reliable, flickering in and out as the energy flow is partially disrupted. Within the field lightsabers will not work at all; it is as if the crystals which produce the blade were not there at all.
