Hull Cauterizer

The Hull Cauterizer, popularized by Verikronian Metalworks, is a weapon often outfitted on Imperial fightercraft. Acting as a form of ship-to-ship, zero-gravity melee combat, Hull Cauterizers enable ships to pierce the protective plating of their enemies by extending out large blades that scrape across the enemy hull, causing damage ranging from minor to significant. Some Hull Cauterizer models come equipped with EMP pulsation devices, allowing them to quite literally cut through shields.
