"My bedtime stories were tales of bloody pirate raids. My friends were grizzled murderers who taught me how to punch. My jump rope was a garrote. But it was better than the orphanage."
―Bazine Netal[2]

Garrotes were a type of quiet melee weapon used for assassinations. They were extremely simple weapons, being composed out of a length of cord or cable, with a handle attached to each end. They were easy to conceal and could be made out of readily available materials on the field. Garrotes worked by being tightened around a target's neck to stop airflow. They typically cost 50 credits on the market and could either kill or knockout their targets.[1]
