The ELG-3A differs slightly from the Merr-Sonn 02 model of blaster pistol, but shares the traits of being lightweight and distinctively elegant in design. Consid-ered by many to be a "diplomat's blaster," the ELG-3A was particularly popular among Naboo's Royal Secu-rity Force. Like a holdout blaster, the weapon is easily concealable, but its longer barrel gives it better precision than many holdout pistols—a necessary trait given that the weapon's relatively light power necessitates especially accurate marksmanship to ensure fatal wounds.
Add 2 black dice to a character's Perception checks to find an ELG-3A on a person's body.
