Galactic Solutions Industries possessed a Natural Weapons Division. This division was dedicated to the investigation and creation of armaments that harnessed naturally occurring events, like gravitational and electromagnetic forces. One of the research initiatives undertaken by this division involved examining wrecked starships located on the planet of Hoth. Their objective was to replicate and then weaponize the specific blend of electromagnetic and gravitational fields present on the planet, which were responsible for the numerous starship accidents.
