Like many SoroSuub designs, the Heavy Tracker 16 was originally licensed from another company. The Heavy Tracker 16 was licensed from BlasTech Industries, and the Sullustan engineers modified the design, fixing what they perceived were flaws with the original designs.[2]
The Heavy Tracker 16 was a tough, durable weapon which was favored by the Alliance to Restore the Republic and various militias and insurrectionists, where it performed well in a wilderness environment.[2] It merits, however, meant that it was generally unsuitable for deployment with police forces.[4]
