E-Web(15) Heavy Repeating Blaster

The E-Web(15) Heavy Repeating Blaster was manufactured by BlasTech Industries, and was a modified version of their standard E-Web heavy repeating blaster. Released the year after Palpatine's death, the E-Web(15) was a two-man weapon that could be "quick-mounted" on a tripod, allowing it to be set up and operational in under five minutes^[1] using the attached generator's "autoconfigure" setting.^[2]

The weapon drew power from a high-demand portable Eksoan power generator with an inbuilt Gk7 Cryocooler cooling unit. The Gk7 was an improvement over the Gk3 Cryocooler, boasting greater efficiency and higher resistance to the damaging effects of high radiation zones. Newer models were also outfitted with a deflector shield generator to protect the Cryocooler unit.^[1]
