A magnetic accelerator functioned as a projectile launcher, theorized to originate from the Verpine for self-protection. This weapon operated by employing magnets set within a precisely crafted channel to propel a metallic sphere at high velocity toward a target. The Sith later engineered an amplified iteration of this weapon, affixing it atop a Sith.
The foundational element for launching projectiles in both the MM9 rocket system and the power harpoon launcher was the magnetic accelerator; the latter propelled fusion disks connected to a high-tension cable.
