- Image Source: It's lipstick taken from this site: https://supplementpolice.com/lip-ammunition/
- Canon Link: n/a
- Restricted Missions: n/a
- Primary Source: Bullets made with this slugthrower in mind.
- Manufacturer: Home made by Scherezade deWinter
- Model: Bullets made for the Dissuader KD-30 Slugthrower Pistol
- Affiliation: Scherezade deWinter
- Modularity: No
- Material: SGB are made using the same acid resistant adhesive used for the Dissuader KD-30 Slugthrower Pistol (which itself uses slugs that contain borless acid, as per canon). The adhesive is used for the encasing of the bullets, and as a protection layer for the glitter itself.
- Scherezade makes these on her own.
- Encasing for both the bullets and the glitter is made of durasteel.
- You can never fully get rid of glitter. Everyone knows this. It's an indisputable fact. Glitter will live longer than cockroaches.
- If even one of a few specs of the glitter are not removed from the armor, it will damage the armor over time.
- If the glitter is not removed at all, it will eat through the armor quickly.
- If the glitter touches non-armor fabric or skin, the damage is near instant.
- Glitter goes everywhere. A gust of wind is enough to set anyone in the vicinity in danger, whether they are foes or friends.
- Because of the acid coating the glitter, it's not as strong as it would be in the original bullets. It still eats through flesh, bones, and armor, but at a much reduced rate; it's unlikely to cause instant damage unless it touches skin, but it can cause lasting and lingering damage on armor if it's not removed.
- These bullets take Scherezade an incredibly long time to make, so her inventory of them is small; rarely more than 10 bullets at a time.
- Durasteel can corrode and requires maintenance.
Scherezade saw Katrine Van-Derveld use the pistol in the field, and liked the idea of having a slugthrower, as her own training both with and without the Force is going slower than both she and her writer would like. Armed with the idea that she needs such a weapon as well with her massive and deep racist hatred for anything Mandalorian, her mind began to reel around ideas that would help her destroy them. She spent nights looking up for things that could get through Mandalorian armor and realized that acid would probably work. That was when she realized that the slugthrower she was looking at would probably do the job on its own and without her interference, but she felt the need to go deeper.
Studying the bullets and how they worked, Scherezade decided that she wanted something that was more dangerous. Something that spread out. Something that was... Glitter. Her love for things that are pink finished the thoughts off as she decided to make the same bullets, but filled with glitter that gets everywhere. Her logic behind it being that glitter was hard to get rid of so that even if it didn't kill any Mandalorians off on the field, it would weaken their armor in the battles to come. And that made it perfect.
