- "There's their magnetic grappler."
- ―Hoban Washburne
A Magnetic grappler was a large clamp that was deployed and fired like a grappling hook at another spaceship. This grapple was on a tether, which was then reeled in.
The grapple had a relatively short range and had a forward firing arc. Reavers were notorious for the use of the magnetic grappler.[1]
