DC-18

"The only reason we have any prisoners at all is that we caught three of them still working on the electronics wipe and were able to get into stun range before they could get to their weapons. Which were DL-18s and old DC-18s, by the way. Probably locally bought."

- Kimmund

DC-18s were a type of weapon considered old by between 2 and 1 BBY. A trio of Grysk that were part of the crew of a freighter that was captured by the Galactic Empire over the planet Batuu were armed with a mix of DC-18s and DL-18 blaster pistols, but set them aside to disable the starship's electronics as it was being captured. The Grysk were then stunned by stormtroopers of the First Legion before they could reach their weapons. Commander Kimmund of the First Legion later informed his superiors of the weapons after the battle was over and speculated that they had been purchased locally.

Behind the scenes
DC-18s were first mentioned in the 2018 novel Thrawn: Alliances, which was written by Timothy Zahn.
