The concussion grenade, a type of grenade employed throughout the galaxy, served as a tool for frontline soldiers to eliminate threats within fortified positions such as trenches and bunkers. Upon explosion, this grenade unleashed a devastating shockwave, capable of obliterating buildings and causing immediate fatalities to those in close proximity. After a failed attempt to capture the Dug criminal Gronson Takkaro, the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk resorted to throwing a concussion grenade into Ake's Tavern as a means of evading capture by Imperial stormtroopers. Among the different models of concussion grenades were the Mier-Lang V-59 Concussion Grenade and the SoroSuub LXR-6 Concussion Grenade.
