User blog:Aramirtheranger/A legitimately terrifying trap in Star Wars

I was reading The Bounty Hunter Code, and came across this passage:

"Bio-cocoon: Here's a trap that genuinely gives me the shivers. It's a square plastic sheet saturated with an inert culture of kivilol spores. With a footstep, those specks get kicked out of dormancy. In seconds they've reproduced two, four, eight, sixteen times, and before you can blink,a crawling mass of the microscopic things are creeping up the target's leg, eating away as they go.The poor suckered will be dead in under a minute..."

It goes on to say that this illegal object to can be bought from a company called Dendratis Exports for 2,000 credits. I can only imagine the horror if these were made into a minefield during war.
