The "Roba" M-45 repeating ion blaster, manufactured by BlasTech Industries,[1] was a heavy repeating ion blaster that saw use during the Galactic Civil War, typically pintel-mounted on UT-60D U-wing gunships.[2]
The M-45 could also be set to function as an ordinary blaster, and carried as a hand-held firearm. It was commonly used as such by Resistance Heavy Troopers.[5]
