Detonators were remote control devices that could trigger explosives. As the Separatists hijacked the Venator-class Star Destroyer Renown, the detonator is connected to hundreds of Rhydonium canisters in the hangar to blow up the Republic fleet, even the space station Valor the site of the Republic strategy conference in the Carida system. The Free Ryloth Movement had detonators that could be attached to bombs that would rig them to explode. During Beckett's gang attempt to steal coaxium on Vandor, Val used a detonator to trigger a bomb rigged to destroy a bridge. The rebel weapons expert Sabine Wren carried detonators in her pockets to trigger charges she had planted elsewhere.
