Laser cannon

Laser cannons were powerful laser weapons that were commonly outfitted to vehicles, starfighters, and starships. A laser cannon could be fixed in place or attached to a turret or ball-mounted swivel, allowing the weapon to aim and fire in many directions.

Starfighters and other small craft that were equipped with laser cannons included the T-65 X-wing starfighter, the Phantom, the police gunships of Coruscant, the Republic attack shuttle, the Lambda-class shuttle, the A-wing starfighter, the ARC-170 starfighter, the B-wing starfighter, the Republic attack gunships, the Gauntlet fighter, the HH-87 Starhopper, and the Hyena bomber.

Starships that were equipped with laser cannons included the Ghost, Merchant One, the Millennium Falcon, and the droid gunship.

Vehicles that were equipped with laser cannons included the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer or "AT-TE walker," the All Terrain Armored Transport or "AT-AT walker," the All Terrain Recon Transport or "AT-RT walker," the All Terrain Scout Transport or "AT-ST walker," the Gian speeder, and the freeco bike.

Battle droids that were equipped with laser cannons included the dwarf spider droid.

During a skirmish on Florrum, pirates loyal to their leader Hondo Ohnaka mounted a laser cannon on a tripod and used it to ambush some pirates that had turned against him.

A type of laser cannon that was used as a personal heavy weapon was referred to as a rotary laser cannon, rotating laser cannon, or rotary blaster cannon. Such weapons were used by clone troopers Hardcase and Thorn.

Manufacturers of laser cannons included Sureggi, whose product was on board the Auzituck anti-slaver gunship.
