CharacteristicsEdit

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.

HistoryEdit

The XX-9 heavy turbolaser was the sucessor 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?]
