Pulse Blasters

Pulse Blasters are a form of blaster technology that was developed after The Force War to hunt down Force Sensitives. Instead of the traditional bolt fired by a blaster, these weapons would fire a pulse of energy, which appeared as a oval-like shape of energy. This form of weaponry was developed as a means to counter lightsabers, as the blade couldn't deflect the entire pulse of energy.

The main drawback to this type of weapon is the massive power cost. Where a normal blaster power pack could hold a charge to fire fifty normal shots, a pulse blaster with the same charge could only fire five shots. While a normal blaster can be modified to fire pulse shots, once done, it cannot fire normal shots. The modifications to such weapons are extensive and expensive.

Most weapons of this type are carried by Force Sensitive hunting parties (be they corporate or simply a local police force), but most of these weapons are licensed and being in possession of such weaponry without proper credentials can result in steep fines or incarceration at penal installations.
