The '''Aural-Biological-Chemical Scrambler''', or '''ABC scrambler''', was an antipersonnel sensory disorientation device often employed by [[Bounty hunter/Legends|bounty hunters]].

==Characteristics==
The ABC scrambler was a modified version of an [[Imperial Army/Legends|Imperial Army]] [[anti-ordnance EM probe]]. It was designed to emit a full spectrum of ultrasonics, biological irritants, and chemical agents over a wide area when fired. These combined effects would disorient an opponent, effectively producing a massive sensory overload lasting for several [[Standard minute/Legends|minutes]]. The launch tube typically cost 3,000 [[Galactic Credit Standard|credits]], while each pod costing 300 credits. The tube could only hold one pod at a time.<ref name="GG10">''[[Galaxy Guide 10: Bounty Hunters]]''</ref> ABC scramblers were also used as a defensive countermeasure by some bounty hunters to protect them from guided missiles and other projectiles. Worn on the belt or attached to [[Armor/Legends|armor]], the ABC scrambler emitted false audio, biological, and chemical signals to interfere with guided [[Missile/Legends|missiles]].<ref name="SAV">[[Scum and Villainy (sourcebook)|''Scum and Villainy'']]</ref> [[Loronar Corporation/Legends|Loronar Corporation]] manufactured the [[ABX-110 Tube-Launched ABC Scrambler]] during the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]].<ref name="GG10" />
