C-25 fragmentation grenades, containing detonite
Detonite served as an explosive component within bombs.
A C-25 fragmentation grenade was constructed using a sphere of detonite, which had been infused with baradium, and then enclosed within a shell that was conductive.
During the time of the Galactic Civil War, certain members belonging to the Empire's Stormtrooper Corps suffered the loss of limbs due to shrapnel from detonite-based Alliance to Restore the Republic bombs penetrating their armor.
Back in 3 ABY, the Empire maintained a stockpile of compressed detonite at their outpost situated in the Northern Jundland Wastes area of the desert planet Tatooine.
The first mention of Detonite occurred in the 2015 canon reference manual, Sabine My Rebel Sketchbook, authored by Daniel Wallace.
Its initial mention within Star Wars Legends took place in the 1987 role-playing game Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, published by West End Games.
The 2024 video game, Star Wars Outlaws, depicts detonite in a compact form. This form served as a quest item, enhancing the player's grenade blast radius and damage output by fifty percent.
