Four laser cannons point outward on the T-65B X-wing starfighter.

Laser cannons were powerful laser weapons that were commonly outfitted to vehicles, starfighters, and starships. A laser cannon could be fixed in place or attached to a turret or ball-mounted swivel, allowing the weapon to aim and fire in many directions.[1]

Starfighters and other small craft that were equipped with laser cannons included the T-65B X-wing starfighter, the Phantom, the police gunships of Coruscant, the Republic attack shuttle, the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle, the A-wing starfighter, the ARC-170 starfighter, the B-wing starfighter, the Republic attack gunships, the Gauntlet fighter, the HH-87 Starhopper, the Hyena bomber, the Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor, and the TIE fighter.

Starships that were equipped with laser cannons included the Malevolence, the Ghost, Merchant One, the Millennium Falcon, the droid gunship, the Imperial Star Destroyer, the Pirate saucer mothership, the Venator-class Star Destroyer (also known as the "Republic attack cruiser"), the Republic frigate, the Separatist dreadnought, the Separatist supply ship, Slave I, the stealth ship, the Trade Federation landing ship, the Trident-class assault ship, and the Twilight.

All Terrain Tactical Enforcers and their many laser cannons

Battle droids that were equipped with laser cannons included the DSD1 dwarf spider droid, the Retail Caucus droid, and the B2 super battle droid which had a double laser cannon built into its wrist.

During a skirmish on Florrum, pirates loyal to their leader Hondo Ohnaka mounted a laser cannon on a tripod and used it to ambush some pirates that had turned against him.[2]

A type of laser cannon that was used as a personal heavy weapon was referred to as a rotary laser cannon, rotating laser cannon, or rotary blaster cannon. Such weapons were used by clone troopers Hardcase[3] and Thorn.[4]

Manufacturers of laser cannons included Sureggi, whose product was on board the Auzituck anti-slaver gunship.[5]
