Weapons

BATTLE DROID BLASTER

Battle Droids employed by the most organisations are issued a specialized make of blaster rifle. Designed to be held by mechanical hands, the weapon is heavier than an ordinary blaster and uncomfortable for most humanoids to handle. Some combat droids have been built with permanent guns in place of hands, which ensures that their weapons are always ready. Most battle droids, in contrast, are built to be generalist troops, capable of setting down their weapon and operating machinery with their hands when necessary. The disadvantage is that the separate rifle of a fallen battle droid can be picked up and used by an adversary.

BLASTER PISTOL

The BlasTech DL-44 heavy blaster pistol benefits from a highly illegal military power cell and customized energizer circuitry for maximum blast impact. This heavy-duty performance is enough to tear huge chunks from the adobe walls of a room, and more than enough to permanently discourage the average opponent.

BLASTER RIFLE

The standard military sidearm is the BlasTech E-11 blaster rifle. This weapon has a three-position stock which allows for optimum bracing during use. Entrenched soldiers typically lock the stock in its fully open position for protracted firing on a constant target point. In full assault or unpredictable situations where agility is key, the stock is kept folded in its fully closed position, for such uses as escorting a prisoner. Military blasters are substantially more powerful than most civilian sidearms and can often penetrate the combat armor worn by most soldiers.

BANDOLIER

Seen here worn by a wookie, a bandolier pouch, which holds ammunition and the a few more articles maybe.

GAFFI STICK

The traditional terror weapon of Tatooine's desert Sand People (or Tusken Raiders) is the dreaded gaderffi, or gaffi stick. This deadly, axe-like weapon is fashioned from metal scavenged from wrecked or abandoned vehicles and spaceships that end up in the Tatooine wastes.

JEDI LIGHTSABER

See Lightsaber as taught by Plo Koon.

VIBRO-AX

A vibro-ax can also be known as a SoroSuub BD-1 Cutter. In such weapons an ultrasonic vibration generator makes the blade sing with a high-pitched whine, enabling it to lacerate with the merest touch.

HEAVY PISTOL

Customized heavy multi-function pistols, ready for action in a holster at the hip. In addition to shooting laser bolts, these sturdy weapons can launch projectiles and even cables, giving the user a variety of options for gaining control over unpredictable situations without unnecessary violence.

SMALL PISTOL

Usually used by VIPs, its size and weight making it a perfect and natural extension of the hand. It can be hidden in pockets, or bags and delivers a strong lazer blast.

GUN TURRET

The DF.9 Anti-Infantry turret battery is usually used to defend troops from invading forces in the case of an attack on a ground base. This model is designed to be effective against infantry and small vehicles such as speeder bikes and skirmishing or scout craft. The battery is no match for the full-strength battle armor cladding modern tanks, and can only hold them off for a while. The turret gun incorporates a proton shield generator and laser armor, making it a tough target.

SITH DOUBLE LIGHTSABER

The lightsaber is intimidating enough, but recent reports describe a variation of this weapon that seems truly formidable. The equivalent of two lightsabers end-to-end, this double-ended energy blade can cut through anything – twice. It can be selectively used like an ordinary lightsaber, with only one of the blades ignited, but with both blades activated it becomes an extraordinary weapon requiring extraordinary skill and training. Only the patience and concentration of one truly attuned to the Force can lead to the mastery of such a dangerous martial art. If such a weapon is actually in the hands of a rumored Dark Lord of the Sith, then a real threat to the Light Side has emerged.
