- "Corporate issue. Interesting… […] Whose is this?"
"Didn't get a name." - ―Arvel Skeen and Cassian Andor discuss the pistol's former owner
The B1-NA blaster pistol,[2] also known as a Corpo blaster, was one of several types of blaster pistols used by Tac-Corpo troopers of the Pre-Mor Enforcement, Preox-Morlana's security branch. Although produced by BlasTech Industries, they had a Preox-Morlana corporate branding and serial number printed on them, and featured a detachable sight.[3]
In 5 BBY,[4] Syril Karn carried one such blaster—designated AD-616K6KA—while he was part of a Pre-Mor Security Inspection team attempting to find and arrest Cassian Andor while he was hiding on Ferrix.[5] Karn's blaster was stolen by Andor, who carried the weapon for a time. During the preparation for a mission on Aldhani, Arvel Skeen became suspicious of Andor after seeing the corporate-issue blaster and questioned Andor as to whom it belonged to.[3] After the mission, Andor stashed the weapon away in a hidden box on Niamos, where it was left after he was arrested and detained in the Narkina 5 Imperial Prison Complex.[6] When Andor later returned to the planet with Ruescott Melshi after their escape from Narkina 5, he retrieved the box and handed the blaster off to Melshi before the two parted ways.[7] In 2 BBY, the same blaster was recognized by Vel Sartha during a training instruction at the Rebel base on Yavin IV. As she inquired about the owner of the blaster, Melshi identified himself to her.[8]
