In a galaxy where war is a near-constant threat, the Kaminoan Ruling Council deemed it necessary to devote a division of its premier manufacturing bloc to researching, developing, and producing new technologies to keep both Kamino itself and the world's allies safe from unfettered technological advancements. One such product of this stride is the KE-X01 Ion Grenade Launcher.

The KE-X01 is an advanced piece of weaponry, embodying a blend of sophisticated design and devastating functionality. It boasts a sleek profile and a clean white frame, echoing the sterile, high-tech environments of the laboratories in which it was conceived. Its streamlined design not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also ensures ease of handling and maneuverability in various tactical situations. The KE-X01 is equipped to fire deadly ion grenades, which are designed to magnetically adhere to their targets. Once attached, these grenades unleash a powerful EMP blast, capable of disrupting and neutralizing electronic systems, rendering enemy devices and vehicles inoperative.
It also affects biological systems, temporarily incapacitating personnel and reducing their combat effectiveness.
