Jurgan Kalta's carbine
Jurgan Kalta's carbine was a very powerful and accurate blaster carbine commissioned by the Zabrak mercenary Jurgan Kalta before the Jedi Civil War. Sometime after Kalta's death, this carbine came into the hands of the Ithorian hunter Fazza Utral.

Description
Edit
Jurgan Kalta's carbine was much more powerful than a standard blaster carbine, and it was especially effective against droids. It was also more accurate than the standard carbine, and firing the weapon required both hands. The weapon had a gold-colored finish over most of its body, with the exception of the end of the gun barrel, which was silver-colored.[1]
History
Edit
The Zabrak mercenary Jurgan Kalta had this carbine built sometime before the Jedi Civil War and his death from a Gaxxan brain-slug. Kalta viewed the weapon as "amusingly destructive."[1] By the year 3,956 BBY,[2] the Ithorian hunter Fazza Utral owned the weapon. He had the weapon for sale at his Hunting Lodge for 4,500 credits in the city of Anchorhead on the planet Tatooine.[1]
Behind the scenes
Edit
Jurgan Kalta's carbine made its first appearance in BioWare's video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic as a unique weapon that the player can purchase from Fazza Utral in the city of Anchorhead on the planet Tatooine. Compared to the standard blaster carbine, the weapon's statistics had large increases to the amount of damage dealt and the attack bonus, as well as a physical damage bonus against droids. Due to the close range combat system used in the game, the weapon had a maximum firing range of twenty-five meters,[1] which was the same as the game's other blaster carbines.[3] The Knights of the Old Republic: Prima's Official Strategy Guide by Prima Games contains an entry on the weapon, in which the title is misspelled as "Jurgan Kalta's Combine." It is also misspelled this way in the appendix of the book.[4]
