The seismic cahrges look like that they would be used most effectively as a bouncing betty type device that pops-up 1 meter or so off the ground.
Though I would have liked to have seen them hit a capital ship in ROTS like a venator.

Wookiepedia is of even more dubious quality than Wikipedia. Its not an authoritative source. We know for a fact that there were non-Pelleaon-aligned Imperialists, we see them in Planet of Twilight and The Essential Chronology talks of new Deep Core warlords and Daala building a force and attacking the New Republic from there.

Not that I'm too found of Blackman as an author of a tech-guide, but couldn't this refer to the seismic charges intended use on the ground and inside an atmosphere? As in space not meaning the nothingness between stars, planets and moons. I know it is reaching a lot, but nobody writing in a SciFi-universe can be that dumb.

The sentences preceeding and following are talking about starships.

They DO expand briefly before collapsing inward, I presume that the vaccum is in whatever "bubble" is forming prior to the formation of tha planar-shockwave. Since its likely to be some sort of weird "force-field effect" weapon due to effects, I always assumed that meant that anything caught close to or in the bubble got pulled in.

Curiously, did you read Blackman's description of the Yuuzhan Vong plasma guns?
