The Kalranoos carbine was a sonic carbine weapon developed by weapons engineer Bobor Kalranoos[1] during the Imperial Era.[2] It was a hybrid design that stemmed from the modifications of a Geonosian carbine.[1] It was equipped with a bio-link module that permitted its user to be directly interfaced with the weapon.[2]
One particular Kalranoos carbine was found in Sordaan Xris's collection of exotic weapons. Sordaan claimed to have acquired the weapon in a wager with a Leresai bounty hunter.[1] Another such weapon was found by a spacer on Talus during the Galactic Civil War.[3]

The Kalranoos carbine appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[4] The Kalranoos carbine was added to the game with the release of the expansion pack Rage of the Wookiees on May 5, 2005.[1]
