The G8 was a military-grade blaster rifle produced by Merr-Sonn Munitions during the final years of the Galactic Republic. Although not as reliable or versatile as the BlasTech E-11, it was popular among sector police in the Tion Hegemony and Hutt Space. At the height of the Galactic Civil War, many of these police agencies sold their weapons to the Rebel Alliance in hope that they would end the steep tariffs placed on them.
