Gunner

"Wedge, I've lost my gunner. You'll have to make this shot. I'll cover for you. Set your harpoon. Follow me on the next pass."

- Luke Skywalker, to Wedge Antilles during the Battle of Hoth

Gunner was a generalized term for an individual who operated heavy weapons.

The position of gunner might be found on attack vehicles such as the Defoliator Deployment Tank. Wes Janson served as a gunner at the Battle of Hoth.

Some infantry soldiers operating heavy guns were also referred to as gunners, such as the towering Gigoran mercenary Moroff, who wielded a Vulk TAU-6-23 "Blastmill" rotary blaster cannon.
