The Wipe-3 data-purge grenade was a type of grenade produced by SoroSuub Corporation during the Galactic Civil War. It provided a reliable method of data erasure by releasing a focused pulse that scrambled electronic data, usually without damaging the hardware. While physical destruction could sometimes be reversed by expert slicing, the Wipe-3 ensured data was irretrievable. It was a small, single-use device favored by agents who needed to securely purge sensitive information stored on electronic media.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Wipe-3 data-purge grenade was first mentioned in Desperate Allies, a roleplaying supplementary sourcebook for the Star Wars Roleplaying series that was published by Fantasy Flight Games in 2015.[1]
