DESCRIPTION

In ancient times, a Mandalorian serving the Empire of Palpatine first created the ARC weapon, infamously dubbed the Duchess by the Empire. This nefarious and insidious weapon strikes at the very heart of Mandalorian culture, targeting and destroying the Mando'ade through their very beskar'gam; iron skin.

Modern science and Mandalorian ingenuity provided a technological solution to this most unpleasant form of attack, the Satine Kryze Device. The device is built around a superdense compressed sphere of pure beskar. The ARC energy fired at a wearer will be drawn to the beskar inside the device. The energy is then dispersed and absorbed by the surrounding crystals which act as batteries, sucking up all the charge.

While the device is powerful, it is heavy, and though small, it is unsuitable for use on anything larger than an individual set of armor. It is intended to protect Mandalorian warriors from being cooked alive inside their beskar by a very nasty weapon that should never have been invented in the first place. As such, the Mandalorian scientists responsible for the SKD feel they are righting a historic wrong, and taking an immoral, nasty, weapon out of the hands of their enemies.

While I applaud the creativity behind this submission, there is no canon basis for this, especially since the Duchess targets all beskar in range, which is an AOE around it.

There is no basis in canon for this to work, in fact this type of counter is more in the realm of fantasy than Star Wars. As such I am going to deny this submission. Please feel free to resubmit this submission if you can show a canon basis for it.
