A permacrete detonator represented a highly potent explosive device, possessing the capability to obliterate structures composed of permacrete. Due to its destructive power, it was strongly advised that only individuals possessing extensive expertise in the field of demolitions undertake its deployment and setup.
In the year 3956 BBY, a Twi'lek individual known as Matrik, who was the subject of a bounty, solicited assistance from Revan to orchestrate a fabricated demise, with the objective of evading pursuit by the criminal organization known as the Exchange. The plan necessitated Revan's procurement of a permacrete detonator from the establishment owned by Kebla Yurt, followed by Matrik's deployment of the device. Upon detonation by Matrik, the device exhibited a multi-stage explosive sequence, characterized by two minor explosions preceding a final, more substantial blast.
