Forums » Smalltalk » What science can be researched in Star Wars?

I want to make a roleplay where the canon New Republic is working on a top secret science project analogous to the First Order creating Starkiller Base. It can't be something already depicted in Legends or Canon; so I don't want it to be teleportation, mind uploading, time travel, matter replicators, anything to do with the Force (unless it isn't blasphemous) or any other super-common sci-fi trope.


Does anybody have any good ideas?

*knows very little about Star Wars*

But...

A mind control weapon?

A controlled miniature black hole weapon?

An Ion Weapon so powerful it’ll temporarily knock out all the electronics in a system.

They consider it a ‘less lethal’ super weapon. Yes, it will absolutely kill folks, but it’s primarily designed to render starships and planetary defenses inoperative.

An artificial intelligence that exists purely in an energy state, rather than in a droid’s shell. The AI can jump from droid to droid to computer system, taking control of those systems as they do do.

A rapidly reproducing, venomous, winged insect that can be released into a biome to horrifically destructive effect, and the virus that will wipe the insects out afterwards.

Thanks for the idea~ uwu

My pleasure.
