Nym utilized his hand cannon to fight Sol Sixxa aboard the Sunrunner.
Back in 24 BBY, the Bith engineer known as Jinkins constructed a potent, though temporary, hand cannon specifically for his captain, Nym. Subsequently, Jinkins mounted this cannon where Nym's ruined prosthetic arm once was, the arm having been consumed by a relix. This modification gave Nym the ability to discharge the cannon whenever he desired, a choice he made in preference to having a massive hook attached to his arm. Forged from a collection of salvaged components and weaponry discovered on the sea cutter named Sunrunner, the cannon discharged volleys of explosive projectiles. Kole, who was Nym's first mate, humorously called it Nym and Jinkin's "science project." This weapon demonstrated its effectiveness when used against Sol Sixxa's Mere pirates; however, Sixxa eventually severed it with his sword, inflicting significant physical discomfort on Nym. Afterward, it was exchanged for a more standard metal hand.
