J-1 proton cannons^[2] were a form of droid artillery that fired proton bombs. They were used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars against the Galactic Republic. They were deployed by the Separatists on the planets Ryloth,^[1] Geonosis,^[3] and Anaxes.^[4]

HistoryEdit

During the Confederacy of Independent Systems's occupation of Ryloth, the tactical droid, TX-20 and his battle droids set up a battery of five of these proton cannons in the city Nabat. When the Grand Army of the Republic attempted to land, the cannons were able to destroy one of the three assault ships. The cannons were then destroyed when Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi hijacked one, and proceed to fire on the others.^[1] During the Second Battle of Geonosis, they were used by the native Geonosians to stop Republic forces from reaching the factory, but are stunned by EMP grenades. During Anaxes, they were used one last time by the Seps to stop the Republic during the Outer Rim Sieges, but failed.
