Plasma torch/Legends
Plasma torches were tools used to cut through solid objects with a flow of plasma, they could be used as weapons. They are known to have been used in the Peragus Mining Facility; when Meetra Surik was trapped inside the facility's medical bay, she used a plasma torch to cut the way out through a closed door.
Plasma torches were also used by Tien Tubb on Nar Shaddaa.
