The DBY-827 heavy dual turbolaser turret was a turbolaser turret used on the Galactic Republic's Venator-class Star Destroyers during the Clone Wars.[1]

[edit] Characteristics
They were the standard requirement in naval gunnery then for inter-ship combat and planetary bombardment, and Venators had eight DBY-827s. In its precise, long-range tracking mode, the DBY-827 could hit a target vessel at a range of ten light-minutes(179,875,474.8 kilometers or 111,769,438.23 miles). During close-range fights, the turret could rotate in three seconds with its fast-tracking mode.[1]
The DBY-827 had seven different intensity settings. This allowed the Venator's pilots and gunners to select a range of destruction, from a small strike to a vaporizing blow. As a true warship, the Venator-class Star Destroyer could divert almost all of its reactor output to its heavy turbolasers.[1]
[edit] History
The Star Destroyer Guarlara made effective use of these turbolasers in the battle against General Grievous's flagship, Invisible Hand.[4]
