DL-12 heavy blaster pistol

The DL-12 heavy blaster pistol was a model of heavy blaster pistol that was slightly more powerful than a standard heavy blaster. At some point, the bounty hunter brothers Irol and Nevo Faunor each carried a DL-12 heavy blaster pistol on the Mid Rim planet Krykas V while attempting to collect a bounty on Min Erethen, a droid and weapons designer who was stranded on the world.^[1]

The Faunor brothers had their DL-12s when they and their hired men were defeated by another group of individuals who reached Erethen first.^[1]

Behind the scenes

The DL-12 heavy blaster pistol was created for "Bloodhawk Down," a roleplaying adventure written by Owen K.C. Stephens for the revised edition of Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars Roleplaying Game that was posted on Wizards.com on October 10, 2002. The adventure is intended to be usable in any era, and upon finding that Min Erethen has been reached by the players, whether the Faunors use their DL-12 heavy blaster pistols or their LaserHone Duelist vibrorapiers is up to the gamemaster; a successful encounter involves either the Faunor brothers retreating or being killed by the player characters.^[1]

The "DL" designation was present on a number of other blasters produced by BlasTech Industries, including the DL-18 Blaster Pistol and the DL-44 heavy blaster pistol.^[2] The weapon was statistically identical^[1] to the DT-12 heavy blaster pistol, an item included in the Arms & Equipment Guide^[2]—the accompanying October 2002 roleplaying sourcebook to "Bloodhawk Down."^[1]
