- "We must find a way to reignite the core."
"You can't… we used a non-incendiary photonic charge to destroy the fuel rod…" - ―Kenobi and the surviving burglar
Non-incendiary photonic charges were a type of explosive charge that created a photonic burst.[1] At some point between 41 BBY and 32 BBY,[2] a group of burglars used such a charge to destroy the fuel rod in the power core of a mining outpost on the planet Codia I's second moon while attempting to steal a shipment of diamonds. The device's photonic burst interacted with the core, which was primarily made of solid accelerite, and produced unusual radioactivity that supressed the entire light spectrum in the outpost and drove the Defel miner Rosack Denahst mad. After Denahst had slaughtered all the burglars, the Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi was eventually able to reassemble the shattered fuel rod using the Force, ending the radioactivity and restoring Denahst's sanity.[1]
Behind the scenes
Non-incendiary photonic charges were mentioned in the second issue of the Star Wars: Obi-Wan comic series which was written by Christopher Cantwell, illustrated by Luke Ross,[1] and published on June 29, 2022.[3]

Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 Obi-Wan 2
- ↑ In the flashbacks seen in Obi-Wan 2, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn go on a mission. Padawan depicts Kenobi's first mission, and since Obi-Wan 2 depicts a different mission, it must take place after. As Jinn is still alive in the flashback, it must take place before his death. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the novel to 41 BBY and Jinn's death to 32 BBY, the flashback must take place between those two years.
