―Chief Moradmin Bast to Darth Vader during the Battle of Yavin[src]

CharacteristicsEdit

A Taim & Bak XX-9 on the first Death Star.

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. It featured dual turret-mounted barrels and was mounted on a square base.

HistoryEdit

The XX-9 heavy turbolaser was the successor of the XX-8 turbolaser and the predecessor of the XX-10 turbolaser tower. Although powerful in an anti-ship role, it was ineffective against agile starfighters. Out of the 33 starfighters that engaged the first Death Star, 9 pilots survived. Darth Vader's Black Squadron destroyed 9, leaving 15 fighters destroyed by the Death Star's defensive fire.[source?]

Following the Battle of Yavin, the turbolasers were found on planet-side engagements, with many destroyed by the Rebel's Rogue Squadron.
