Needler/Legends

A needler was a type of pistol designed to penetrate personal energy shields by firing a sharp, tiny dart. The dart could also be laced with contact poison, delivering the poison to its targets.

The Galactic Empire's E522 assassin droid possessed a neurological needler among its formidable arsenal.

Imperial spy Tanya Madera used this weapon to administer the deadly triflexia virus to both Chief Technician Adonar Dellox and one of the X-wing pilots on Reginard Base. She later used the weapon to defend herself against a group of Rebels, though she had only five shots left.
