The DF.9 turret placement, also known as the DF.9 Anti-Infantry Battery, the DF9 Turret, or simply the DF.9 was a model of stationary anti-infantry laser cannon emplacement manufactured by Golan Arms.

Description

Manufactured by Golan Arms at the request of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, the DF.9's single laser canon was capable of firing blasts capable of annihilating whole squads of approaching infantry. Effective at a distance of up to 16 kilometers, the gunner in the upper turret operated with a 180° firing arc. Some models could be modified with a rapid-fire rate that could rotate in a full 360° range. The durasteel protected turret could easily withstand blaster fire, all while a targeting computer technician assisted with precision aim and another ensured stable energy flow from the power generator.
