DESCRIPTION
Originally designed during the expansion era as more and more small humanoid races were being discovered and were being made available for trade. The weapon was developed to be wielded by smaller than the average humanoid hand and as such was just a very small blaster. While this should have lead to a specific and potentially niche market, popularity for the pistol exploded. The inherent size of the blaster made it very easy to conceal either in a decent pocket or a large hand. I was also found to be difficult to detect in a regular to sloppily run pat down search owing to the weapon's slim profile when well hidden. The overall usefulness of the weapon has kept it in demand for well over a century and it can be found almost anywhere today. LEGALITY
Legal to own throughout the blaster-legal parts of the galaxy, often illegal to conceal on more civilised planets without some form of license or special dispensation, specifically in and around the galactic core.INTENT
To make an ubiquitous concealable hold-out blaster that can be concealed with relative ease.ADVANCED TECH
NO. One can buy this at any local blaster trader or emporium.
