CryoBan grenade
The CryoBan grenade, which is also referred to as a cryo grenade, represented a specific kind of grenade capable of inducing a short-term freezing effect on its targets.
Description
The initial purpose of the CryoBan grenade was as a device for putting out fire in urgent situations. It made use of CryoBan technology, which was derived from the carbon-freezing process. When deployed as a weapon, the CryoBan grenade would envelop targets within its area of effect with extremely cold substances. This would inflict pain and briefly encase individuals within the ice resulting from the explosion. The intense cold could also cause harm to items like droids, electronic devices, and vehicles lacking the necessary modifications for operation in frigid environments.
Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc. produced versions such as the WW-41 CryoBan grenade and the WW-47 CryoBan grenade. These particular CryoBan grenades were characterized by a recognizable baton-like form.
