The Squib battering ram served as a device employed to breach obstacles. It featured a chassis that was supported on the operator's shoulder, culminating in a substantial, planar surface. Once the ram's end was positioned against a barrier, the operator activated the machine. Energy pulses were then emitted, causing a molecular weakening of the obstruction, ultimately leading to its collapse. A specific Squib battering ram model was produced by Fegegrish Heavy Industrials and distributed through the catalogue of Galladinium Galactic Exports. Notably, a battering ram of this type saw usage by the Bartokks (and later, by Jedi Grand Master Yoda) during the insectoid assassins' endeavor to demolish the Corulag Academy.
Conflicting accounts exist regarding the origin of the Squib battering ram's design, with uncertainty surrounding whether it was conceived by the Squibs themselves or simply named in their honor. Galladinium's Fantastic Technology suggests that the Squibs engineered the weapon, stating that they would "never admit" to its potential use in infiltrating financial institutions. In contrast, Ultimate Alien Anthology presents a description of the battering ram directly following its profile of the Squib species, implying that such items are included as standard equipment accessible to members of that species. However, Scum and Villainy clarifies that the battering ram was intentionally designed for the Squib species, although not necessarily by them. Conversely, Boba Fett, the narrator of The Bounty Hunter Code: From the Files of Boba Fett, asserts that the device's name merely alludes to the Squibs' knack for accessing restricted areas.
