The Empire Strikes Back Weapons

A planetary ion cannon was a massive ion weapon that could be used to temporarily or permanently disable electrical systems and penetrate shields. Used mainly in defense, they were also used by pirates on anarchic worlds such as Lok to disable ships for looting.

Its power source was usually a dedicated reactor sunken into the ground and it could be erected in several hours.

A V-150 was seen on the planet of Hoth during the Battle of Hoth. The ion cannon fired at—and hit—the Imperial-Star Destroyer Tyrant, which left it non-operational and allowed several Rebel medium transports escape the planet before the Imperial invasion commenced.

Two planetary ion cannons of an unknown model were present during the Battle of Artus Prime during the Empire Reborn Crisis.

Kuat Drive Yards was a large producer of planetary ion cannons, including the V-150.

These powerful blaster rifles, known for their impressive power and capable of piercing armor, were used by planetary forces across the galaxy. With their widespread use, it made them easy for the Rebel Alliance to procure on the black market to use against the forces of the Galactic Empire. They were scoped for increased accuracy. BlasTech Industries manufactured them.

A traditional Wookiee weapon, bowcasters are hand-crafted on Kashyyyk according to ancient methods. Bowcasters are more powerful and accurate than blasters, firing a metal quarrel encased in plasma energy. Like many Wookiee creations, the bowcaster combines traditional craftsmanship with galactic technology. Noted bowcaster wielders include Chewbacca and the bounty hunter Embo.

The lightsaber is a complex instrument consisting of a pommel cap, hand grip, control module, main hilt, focusing lens, and blade emitter, with an energy core powered by a kyber crystal.

The Z-6 Jetpack was the preferred jetpack of Mandalorian commandos across the galaxy, from the more organized sects like Death Watch to the outliers on the fringe, like Jango Fett and Boba Fett. They were fast and nimble and could maintain sustained flight as well as short bursts for tactical advantages in combat. The jetpacks could be equipped with a top-loaded rocket firing missile that could turn the tide in many a conflict. Their significant disadvantage was their vulnerability to external impact damage. One sharp blow with a stick could conceivably ignite the jetpack, causing all manner of unwanted performance that could lead to significant bodily harm or even death.

Larger, more powerful blasters, often used by Stormtroopers, clones, or bountry hunters. Other forms included sniper blaster rifles.
