Blaster cannon/Legends



A blaster cannon, also known as a flash cannon, was a limited-range heavy artillery variant of the handheld blaster. Blaster cannons were commonly fitted aboard atmospheric vehicles.

Blaster cannons were powered by power packs of ionized cryogenic cells. Unlike laser cannons, blaster cannons could be set at various levels of damage, ranging from full power to stun. Blaster cannons were commonly less powerful than laser cannons, though were effective during atmospheric combat and against ground troops, vehicles, and military structures. There existed several designations of blaster cannon strength, including light blaster cannons, medium blaster cannons, and heavy blaster cannons.

Notable military vehicles that utilized blaster cannons in their arsenal included the All Terrain Scout Transports and 74-Z speeder bikes of the Galactic Empire, as well as the TIE/In interceptor. The Arakyd Industries Viper probe droid was similarly equipped with a blaster cannon.
