- "Is that a grappling hook on your weapon?"
"Yes. It's a combination blaster and ascension gun." - ―Thrawn and Padmé Amidala
An ascension gun was a blaster weapon that was also able to fire a grappling hook attached to a tether, allowing the wielder to cross a horizontal gap or make a vertical climb. Firing the ascension hook could also be used as a weapon, such as when Hardcase used it to shoot a noisy banshee during a stealthy mission on Umbara.[4]
