The F-187 fusioncutter, a cutting tool designed to be held in the hand, was a product of SoroSuub during the era of the Clone Wars. This fusioncutter model, the F-187, achieved widespread use among engineers during both the time of the Galactic Republic and later, the Galactic Empire.
The F-187 was a specific model of fusioncutter that was produced by Sorosuub Corporation. It was intended for the repair of vehicles and starships, and functioned as a handheld cutting torch. This torch generated a high-energy plasma beam, capable of severing materials like metals, duraplast, and other reinforced substances. The beam's properties were adjustable; its length could range from one to twenty centimeters, and its width could be adjusted from a thin millimeter up to a broader six centimeters.
The device could also create holes in materials using an integrated, extendable drill bit. Furthermore, the entire tool was designed to be connected to a jig linked to a droid brain, enabling its use as an automated cutting device. The tool's internal fuel capacity allowed for approximately one hour of continuous operation. For extended use, larger external fuel cylinders could be connected.
Due to its adaptability and widespread appeal, the F-187 saw use by numerous factions throughout the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War. Users ranged from clone engineers to Rebel pilots. A common application of the fusioncutter involved cutting into vehicles, allowing the user to seize control from the pilot.
The F-187 is featured as a usable tool within the Battlefront video game franchise. It also made an appearance in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars related comic book, Repel All Boarders!
