"Looks like a Geonosian Beam Weapon. By the Force, this thing is ugly!!"
―Boss[2]

The Geonosian Elite Beam Weapon was a lethal beam-projecting weapon used by the Geonosian elite. It was produced by Gordarl Weaponsmiths.

Description

The weapon would be attached to the Elite's arm. For fuel, the weapon drained the Geonosian of its body fluids, and converted them into a highly focused beam of pure energy. Due to this process, the weapon required several moments to charge and fire the beam. When used by any non-Geonosian, the weapon's "fingers" would be unable to obtain fluids from the wielder. Any fluids stored inside the weapon would be all the ammunition available to the new user. The beam could be sustained for a short time but inflict massive damage from any range on an enemy.

During the Clone Wars, clone commandos were known to utilize Elite Beam Weapons in the midst of the battle with high effectiveness, since they could use them after killing the Geonosian elites.

  1. ↑ The Clone Wars Campaign Guide notes that Gordarl Weaponsmiths manufactured the Geonosian sonic turret. Star Wars: Republic Commando: Prima Official Game Guide notes that "Geonosian weapons caste" manufactured both the Geonosian sonic turret and the Geonosian elite beam weapon. As such, Gordarl Weaponsmiths can be considered the Geonosian weapons caste and manufacturer of the Geonosian elite sonic weapon.
