- Can contain whatever injectable substance needs to be injected into any given species to produce any given effect.
- Molecular stiletto tip is recessed (in a housing that collapses/retracts on firm straight-on contact) to prevent accidental grazing contact.
- Doesn't look like a weapon. A comm badge maybe? Makeup applicator? Vape pen?
- Zero range, melee only.
- Requires firm straight-on (not grazing) contact.
- Cannot inject deeper than 2 centimeters. Thick clothes over plate armor may foil the injection.
- Molecular stiletto tip has a very good chance of breaking with each use, and almost always requires replacement after one use.
- Molecular stiletto tip may break if the weapon gets hit, if the user gets thrown against a wall, if a Herglic belches nearby, etc. Extremely fragile.
A Hutt Cartel kidnap jabber — jubbagrappa — is the very quintessence of what it says on the tin. They aren't manufactured anymore. A few kidnap artists and assassins favor them, but otherwise they're a collector's item these days.
Jerec Asyr happened to obtain a few of them during a grocery run to Nar Shaddaa, which is approximately how anyone gets their hands on a jubbagrappa. Jerec carries one to protests that have a chance of turning violent should CorpSec crack down: more than once, the corpos have failed to recognize his kidnap jabber as a weapon.
Not a bad tool for a man in the used-starship-of-dubious-provenance business, either.
