Lock breakers, electronic in nature, were compact, potent slicing devices with a specific purpose: bypassing typical digital locking mechanisms. Reflecting the diversity of technological tools, these devices were available in numerous iterations, ranging from rudimentary models meant for circumventing basic residential and vehicular security to advanced, military-specification lock slicers. These high-end models could even breach the security on the bridge of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer utilized by the forces of the Galactic Empire.
