During the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker paid Hondo Ohnaka to gun-run some rocket launchers to Onderon to be used by the rebels against HMP droid gunships during the Battle of Onderon. After delivering the 10 rocket launchers, Saw, Steela and some members of the Onderon rebels used them to destroy the remaining gunships.^[4]

The Galactic Empire's rocket stormtroopers were equipped with them.^[5]
