Saberdart Launcher

About the Saberdart Launcher

A compact, concealable dart-thrower, the saberdart launcher fires small, aerodynamic projectiles designed for precision over power. The most infamous example, the Kamino saberdart that killed the bounty hunter Zam Wesell, carried a poison payload and a telltale design that let Obi-Wan Kenobi trace it to a hidden world. Assassins and hunters prize such launchers because the darts are small, quiet, and easily tipped with toxins, tranquilizers, or tracking beacons, turning a modest wound into a lethal or debilitating one. On its own the dart does little more than sting, so the payload is nearly always the point. Light enough to hide up a sleeve and quick to draw, the launcher rewards a killer who can pick their shot and let chemistry finish the job. A miss embarrasses; a hit, well-chosen, can end a target hours later, far from the scene.
