A rail detonator was a weapon that used powerful electromagnets to launch rail charges at a target at incredible speed.^[1] The charges could be set to explode on impact, or stick to the point of impact for a few seconds first. An alternate version existed that held heat-seeking properties.

The detonator was known to have been used to a limited extent during the Clone Wars. By the time of Galactic Civil War it was a rarely seen weapon, used only by specialized stormtrooper units, primarily by Imperial Jumptroopers. Later it became a popular weapon between the stormtroopers of the Imperial Remnant, which they used to great effect against both Kyle Katarn and Mara Jade.
