"Our new proton cannon are in the optimum position to prevent that, sir." - ―Emir Wat Tambor and TX-20
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]
History
Edit
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]
