Zarra (rifle)

Zarra was the name of rifle used by a sergeant serving the Alliance to Restore the Republic following the Battle of Yavin during the Galactic Civil War, a conflict between the Alliance and the Galactic Empire. The sergeant named the rifle Zarra, but did not tell anyone his reason for doing so. Zarra was a long–barreled rifle that was dark grey in color and had a small targeting scope attached to it. The barrel of the rifle had many holes in its side and required two hands to use effectively.

Behind the scenes
The rifle known as Zarra was featured in 2008's Champions of the Force, the first set of cards released as part of the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game, a virtual card game created by Sony Online Entertainment to go along with their 2003 MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies. The weapon was created for the Rebel Sergeant card, which was illustrated by the artist Svetlin Velinov. While the card did not specify what type of rifle Zarra was, the weapon was similar in appearance to the E-17d sniper rifle, a type of rifle used by the Rebel Alliance.
