[edit] Characteristics

The Taim & Bak XX-9 heavy turbolaser was protected by quadanium steel plating and made a deadly weapon against capital ships, at the cost of many credits.

[edit] History

Although powerful in an anti-ship role, it was virtually useless against agile starfighters. Indeed, only one Rebel star fighter piloted by Jek Tono Porkins fell victim to the first Death Star's turbolasers during the Battle of Yavin^[source?].
