The DT-57 "Annihilator" blaster was a high-powered heavy blaster pistol manufactured during the era of the Clone Wars. Highly customizable, the DT-57 featured a high output blaster magazine, a large trigger guard and a top-mounted scope.
History[]
General Grievous with his custom DT-57, Grievance Striker.
During the Clone Wars, General Grievous wielded a custom DT-57 "Annihilator", dubbed "Grievance Striker,"[4] in conjunction with the many lightsabers of his personal collection, stolen from Jedi he had defeated during the war. The weapon was turned on its owner when Obi-Wan Kenobi used it to kill Grievous on Utapau.[3] The blaster was later recovered by the Galactic Empire and given to N-K Necrosis. When Necrosis was destroyed by a group of spacers on Kashyyyk, the blaster fell into their possession.[4]
During the Galactic Civil War, the smuggler Falsta carried a heavily modified Clone Wars-era DT-57 heavy blaster pistol which he claimed was once owned by General Grievous.[5]
