Joker Engineering is a [Human](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Nwpnr6wa2-humans) manufacturer of novelty spacecraft weapons and components. Founded by eccentric engineer Barlowe Elias, the company's key interest is designing alternative weapons with unlikely applications that defy the usual missile-or-gun classification. Their unusual products are sometimes utilized by criminals because of their unconventional warfare applications, particularly the Beacon Bomb, an explosive shell that emits a simulated distress call.
