The DH-17 blaster rifle was a blaster rifle that commonly served as a primary combat weapon by Rebel soldiers during the Galactic Civil War against the Galactic Empire. Prior to this conflict, many frontline soldiers of Jedi Master Rahm Kota's militia utilized the rifle in the Clone Wars and their raids against the Empire after the Great Jedi Purge. Furthermore, the Bespin Wing Guards of Cloud City also used the DH-17 as a major weapon in their security force. The blaster rifle was manufactured by BlasTech Industries, which was one of the three top weapons manufacturers along with Merr-Sonn Munitions and SoroSuub Corporation in the galaxy. It had a fully automatic mode as well as the capability of switching into a unique mode that allowed the user to fire charged-shots at their target. This charged-shot mode was common in many types of blasters during the Jedi Civil War and the Dark Wars. It was possible that the DH-17 blaster rifle was related to the DH-17 carbine and/or the DH-17 blaster pistol.
