CharacteristicsEdit

SoroSuub elongated the barrel of the Q2 to improve the range while maintaining the weight of a hold-out blaster. They also tuned the focusing ring to deliver better stun damage than other blasters of its size. The end result was the ELG-3A. The ELG-3A could be set to stun, so it did not kill its target.

HistoryEdit

Panaka Amidala
Padmé Amidala using an ELG-3A during the Battle of Theed.

This smooth weapon was a pulse firing weapon that was considered light next to the Security S-5 heavy blaster pistol used by the Royal Naboo Security Forces. However, a direct hit at the right place could be fatal. The ELG-3A became popular with political operatives because of its discreet size, and was commonly known as the "Diplomat's Blaster". It was a very simple but elegant weapon by both the Naboo civilian population and the royal figures alike. These pistols were also standard issue on Naboo Royal Cruisers and Starships. They were small in size and could be hidden in tight spaces. Padmé Amidala used this blaster numerous times like when she used one to defend herself from the Bounty hunter Aurra Sing on Alderaan or her fight with Lolo Purs on the Coruscant Docks.

The blaster was standard issue on-board Royal Security Force ships, including yachts and battleships.[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

George Lucas himself designed this blaster, and his sketch was transformed into a practical prop within a day[2].
