    "We don't even deliver ion disruptors! They're illegal, you know that, heh heh."
    ―Hondo Ohnaka[6]

    Disruptors were a type of particularly dangerous energy weapon which was banned by Imperial law,[6] as well as Rebel Alliance regulations, during the reign of the Galactic Empire.[7]

    One model of disruptor was the T-7 ion disruptor rifle,[3] which were used by the Empire during the fall of the planet Lasan on its native Lasat population.[8] The Aqualish weapon designer Amda Wabo later tried to sell a large supply of the weapons to Imperial Minister Maketh Tua, but was prevented from doing so by the crew of the starship known as the Ghost.[3] Other models of disruptor included the T-8 disruptor, which was produced by the Empire,[9] the Amban phase-pulse blaster,[10] and the DX-2 disruptor blaster pistol.[7]

    Capabilities

    "These were banned by the Senate. You can short circuit an entire ship with these."
    "That's not why they were banned…    "
    ―Sabine Wren and Garazeb Orrelios, on T-7 ion disruptors[3]

    T-7 ion disruptor rifles were capable of disabling an All Terrain Defense Pod with a single shot, and were capable of short-circuiting an entire ship.[3]

    When fired upon a biological target, the victim was disintegrated atom by atom, resulting in a slow, painful death.[11] After T-7's were used against the Lasat during the fall of their homeworld, the weapons were banned by the Imperial Senate. The mere sight of a T-7 was enough to cause surviving Lasat to recoil in shock.[3]
