A flux compressor was a device that was used to charge smoke payloads with electromagnetic impulses, which could disable droids and other electronics. Flux compressors were a key component in constructing ion smoke grenades.[1] By 3 ABY,[2] a flux compressor had been stored in a smuggler hideout on a cliff overlooking Lake Amari on the Outer Rim Territories planet Akiva.[1]
In 3 ABY,[2] the scoundrel Kay Vess stole the flux compressor from the smuggler hideout on Akiva and, with the help of Temmin Wexley, was able to start using it to construct ion smoke grenades.[1]
Behind the scenes
Flux compressors appeared as an upgrade item in the 2024 video game, Star Wars Outlaws, developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. The item was used to unlock the "ion smoke bomb" expert upgrade which allowed smoke bombs to effect droids.[1]
