- "…and loaded up these E-11s you've given us, which require one to aim as far as possible away from what one's shooting at in order to have half a chance of hitting it."
- ―Deserting stormtrooper TD-7556
The E-11 medium blaster rifle, more commonly known as the E-11 blaster rifle was a light but powerful blaster rifle manufactured by BlasTech Industries.[16] Although a Nihil of Krix Kamerat's cell used a similarly-designed blaster during the Battle of Takodana of the High Republic Era,[17] the E-11 was only created during the Imperial Era.[16] The DAS-430 Neural Inhibitor was also of a similar design.[18] The SoroSuub Corporation-produced Freedom One blaster was a technological clone of the E-11.[2]
The E-11 served as the standard issue weapon of Imperial stormtroopers,[16] including remaining clone troopers still active under the Empire.[19] Some Imperial Army troopers, including some members of the normal infantry,[20] swamp troopers,[21] and Imperial security troopers, were also equipped with it.[22] The E-11 was the successor to BlasTech's E-10 blaster rifle[23] and was based on the DC-15A blaster carbine used by clone troopers during the Clone Wars.[16]
Features[]
Stormtroopers armed with E-11 blaster rifles.
The E-11 blaster rifle combined lethal firepower with impressive range and a versatile design. Featuring three power settings; lethal, stun, and sting, the rifle proved useful for a variety of combat situations. An advanced cooling system resulted in the blaster's superior performance,[1] especially useful for its fully automatic fire setting.[24] The E-11 also included a telescopic range-finding sight and a folding three-position stock, which could convert the blaster into a full-length rifle[1] and could be modified to house a glowrod.[25] Its standard issue power cells carried energy for 100 shots however the rifle could also be loaded with plasma cartridges that could last for more than 500 shots.[1]
