| abstract | - When establishing a campsite, a fire (then known as campfire) was often lit for warmth and psychological sense of security. In 1000 BBY, before their final battle, the Sith established a camp on Ruusan with many cooking fires around the tents. Similarly, when he first came to Dathomir, Luke Skywalker saw a campfire constructed by the Witches of Dathomir. Besides domestic uses, fire was also used in deliberately harmful ways. A vast array of weapons known as flamethrowers projected streams of burning gas or flammable liquid. During the Clone Wars, a squad of specialized clone troopers were equipped with massive BT X-42 flamethrowers as well as other incendiary weapons. Years later, under the height of the Galactic Empire, the Incinerator stormtroopers would burn their enemies to death. Around 3.5 ABY, the Sanyassan Marauders who lived on the forest moon of Endor made use of fire cannon to destroy the hut of the Warrick, a family of peaceful Ewoks. Among the Sith, the arcane and deadly Force power known as Convection also allowed its user to modify the heat of their own skin and set their opponent's robes on fire through direct contact. Another fire based Force Power, while rare, was pyrokinesis which was used by both Sith and Jedi.
