Some individuals like to modify their standard sidearms with grappling hooks, but Merr-Sonn has found a dedicated client base that prefers dedicated devices that require no time to prepare.
More information about the gear available on the Wookieepedia article.
"RIDER" ASCENSION PISTOL[1][2][]
As an action, a character may make an Average difficulty Ranged (Light) check to fire the grappling hook onto an object at up to medium range. As another subsequent action, they may reel in the cord, pulling themselves to the target object (or, if the object is unsecured and lighter than they are, pulling the object to the character).[1][3]
A character using an ascension pistol to pull themself and another character aloft must make an Average difficulty Athletics check to avoid losing their grip on either their partner or the gun.[1][3]
