The 411 was a hold-out blaster developed by Czerka Arms. The blaster was designed for Imperial use as a hold-out blaster with a relatively long range. This increase in range is achieved by integrating a tighter emitter muzzle, though this also makes the weapon less damaging. During the Galactic Civil War, Rebel forces captured the weapon design documents and an entire factory run of the weapon in transit to Coruscant. After this acquisition, the weapon became a favorite of Rebellion espionage agents. Because of the brazen nature of the Rebel heist, and the then-unproven assertion that Czerka was allied with the Rebel Alliance, Czerka quickly signed an exclusive production contract with the Empire to eliminate these rumors. This agreement was the foundation of Imperial Munitions.
