CharacteristicsEdit

SoroSuub elongated the barrel of the Q2 to improve the range while maintaining the weight of a holdout 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

Because of their discreet size, the ELG-3A became popular with political operatives, and was commonly known as the "Diplomat's Blaster". The Naboo civilian population and the royal figures used them. They were also standard issue on Naboo Royal Cruisers and Starships. They were small in size and could be hidden in small spaces. It was a very simple but elegant weapon. 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.

Padmé Amidala used this blaster often. She used it to apprehend the Bounty hunter Aurra Sing on Alderaan, fight Lolo Purs on the Coruscant Docks, and numerous other times.
