Wookiee dual missile turret

"In the upper levels of each of the four bays you'll find a Wookiee dual missile turret. Only with the combined firepower of all four turrets do we have the slightest chance of taking down this juggernaught"

- CC-01/425 advises Delta Squad on taking down a Separatist Cruiser

The Wookiee dual missile turret or Wookiee dual launcher was a defensive anti-air emplacement created individually by Wookiee turret crafters during the Clone Wars between the Republic and a Confederacy of Independent Systems. It had a large flat square shaped base with a stand on one side. Connected to this stand was a raised platform for a single gunner to stand, who would defend their position from aerial assault from either Trandoshan or CIS forces. The stand continued upwards, with two small physical barriers, all of which was brown with gold highlights. Connected to the shields on either side were two large grey missile launch tubes, all forward facing. Each tube contained a powerful missile that could pierce the hull of a starship, though they had a slow rate of fire. The clone commandos of Delta Squad used multiple dual turrets to destroy a Confederate Recusant-class light destroyer in their deployment to Kashyyyk during the battle on that planet.

Behind the scenes
The Wookiee dual launcher first appeared on the Republic Commando video game website, before the game's release in 2005. It also appeared in the game's official guide.
