LR1K sonic cannon/Legends



The LR1K sonic cannon, also known as the Geonosian sonic cannon or the Geonosian defense platform, was a high-powered artillery emplacement weapon produced by the Gordarl Weaponsmiths on Geonosis prior to the Clone Wars.

The LR1K cannon used sonic blaster technology that employed internal oscillators to produce a devastating sonic blast. The sonic ball was stabilized by a containment sphere within the cannon until impact against a target, and which point it broke up to create an omnidirectional blast. Commonly, the LR1K required two Geonosian gunners to operate, although the cannon's advanced, highly-precise targeting computers were known to do much of the work.

The sonic cannon was rushed into production when Archduke Poggle the Lesser joined the growing Separatist movement, prior to the official creation of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Sonic cannons were later deployed during the Battle of Geonosis, first against a Jedi strike team in the Petranaki Arena, and later against invading clone troopers on the planet's dusty plains.
