Beam-tube
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Beam-tubes were primitive blaster-like weapons, most often associated with the empire of Xim the Despot.
An example of an early laser rifle, the beam-tube was a bulky, long-barrelled weapon which required a backpack power generator. Able to fire energy projectiles, these weapons were far superior to the slugthrowers of the time in terms of firepower. Although severely outdated, functional beam-tubes could be found during the time of the Galactic Civil War in backwater Sectors such as the Tion Hegemony.
