SPECIAL FEATURES

• Holiday Flair: The Kachirho Tinsel Grenade at first glance appears to be a common, small version of the traditional Life Day Tinsel Bomb and typically is used as such for pranks and festive displays. Compressed air cartridge at the core of the grenade produces a color, expanding cloud of shimmering, multicolored tinsel that covers up to several dozen meters in diameter.
• Sensor Jammer: To more informed, the Kachirho's innocuous appear belies the fact that is actually a sensor jamming device with the baffleweave tinsel cloud jamming most common sensors for several seconds. This makes it useful as a defensive, getaway smokescreen or to offensively blind the sensors of battle armors or battle droids.
• Euphoriant: Hidden behind the baffleweave exterior, the compressed air cannister also contains aerosolized Algarine Torve Weed powder which when inhaled causes a mild, euphoric effect. This helps lighten up the mood during the holidays and might confuse those exposed to it in a more tense situation.
• Four Second Fuse: This tinsel grenade has a four second fuse once it's pin is pulled, allowing the user to get clear of the detonation if so desired. Some more creative users do use trip wires and other triggering mechanisms to otherwise control the device's detonation.
• Adhesive bottom: Like the old stormtrooper thermal detonator and some of LPD's other grenades, the tinsel grenade has an adhesive bottom, allowing it to be placed in unusual spots in an environment as part of defensive or festive preparations or physically attached to opponents.

STRENGTHS

• Large Area of Effect: The Kachirho Tinsel Grenade's air reservoir is fairly extensive, allowing it to blanket an area several dozen meters in diameter with with baffleweave chaff and aerosolized euophoriant.

WEAKNESSES

• Utterly Harmless: The Tinsel Grenade is designed to be physically harmless, with baffleweave fabric chaff unlikely to reasonably hurt anyone.

DESCRIPTION
Life Day Tinsel Bombs are a long tradition in wookiee culture surrounding Life Day, and it's not uncommon to see them used as part of festive displays or simple prank objects. Taking advantage of this tradition, Lucerne Personal Defense secretly made their own version of the beloved object, the Kachirho Tinsel Grenade. For most intents and purposes, it functions entirely like and interchangeably with a normal Life Day Tinsel Bomb. However, the payload of the Kachirho Tinsel Grenade is actually a bit more unusual. By using a fragmented, baffleweave shell, the tinsel and confetti produced by the Kachirho actually works as chaff to temporarily blind sensors for several seconds, while combining aerosolized Algarine Torve Weed into the compressed air cannister means that it tends to add euphoric effects which can cause further chaos in social settings. While available as an unregulated "toy" on many planets from "Kachirho Toy Emporium", the Kachirho Tinsel Grenade is actually a potential getaway device for those in the know.
