Grievance Striker
The Grievance Striker functioned as the personal blaster pistol of General Grievous during the era of the Clone Wars. Subsequently, it underwent restoration and saw use by N-K Necrosis throughout the Galactic Civil War.
History
During the Clone Wars period, General Grievous utilized a specially modified DT-57 "Annihilator" blaster pistol, referred to as the Grievance Striker, in conjunction with the numerous lightsabers he had acquired for his collection. While primarily serving as a backup to his lightsabers, Grievous was also known to employ other blasters, such as an E-5 blaster rifle, which he briefly brandished aboard the Malevolence during his initial confrontation with General Obi-Wan Kenobi. Additionally, he used a DC-17 hand blaster to assassinate Jedi Knight Nahdar Vebb within his lair situated on the third moon of Vassek. Like any blaster he used, it could be holstered to the back of his belt or in a holder on his personal Tsmeu-6 personal wheel bike.
On Utapau, Grievous once again engaged Obi-Wan Kenobi in battle. Having lost his lightsabers, he attempted to eliminate the Jedi using his blaster. However, Obi-Wan managed to disarm Grievous and turned the General's own blaster against him. Five shots directed at Grievous's organ sack ignited the oils preserving the remaining organic components of his body, resulting in his demise.
Following Order 66, stormtroopers recovered the blaster along with Grievous's remains and stored it in the Emperor's hidden repository on Utapau. Later, Imperial scientist Treun Lorn refurbished it for use by N-K Necrosis on Kashyyyk. Subsequently, a group of spacers encountered and defeated the droid, seizing its possessions, including the DT-57.
