In its most basic description the Predator is the newest version of the LS-150. It fires a accelerated Particle charge laced with a photon bundle to make it visible. The weapon is very effective against shields and personnel but only against droids at a close range. There isn't much difference between the Predator and the LS-150, aside from a few facts. One, its much more compact the primary focus of the redesign, and its much more safe. No longer does the user have to worry about abrupt overheats or spontaneous combustion of the weapon. And the weapon is now far more effective against droids, albeit at a limited range.
