ARC casters were modified E-11 blaster rifles that unleashed powerful electrical bolts that could disable electronics, and boil organic beings from the inside out. They were utilized by Phase Zero Dark Troopers, Phase II Dark Troopers, and the Emperor's Royal Guard deployed by the Imperial Army. X1, a Dark Side Adept, also employed this in his career.

Description[]

X1X2 Duel-over-Mustafar

A Royal Guard uses an ARC caster against X2.

The weapon used a charge function to prepare a blast of electricity at the target which, when fully charged, could affect up to four other targets. This type of weapon was similar to the plasma disruptors originally used by dismounted clone pilots as a personal weapon. The gun shooting an electrical shock would severely damage the wiring and systems of droid opponents. These weapons were named for their ability to "arc" from one target to another.
