The HB-9 rifle,[2] also known simply as the HB-9[1] or Utapaun Blaster Rifle,[3] was a model of blaster rifle manufactured by Zenoti Arms during the Clone Wars era. These rifles were popular with the natives of Utapau. The ornate Zenoti Arms HB-9 was a long-range blaster rifle with an intricately-patterned barrel and an elegant, curving stock and shoulder brace. It featured a front sight over the tip of the barrel and a hand-turned recharge valve. The ignition housing was primitive,[1] although the weapon still delivered a powerful blast.
Tion Medon's Pau'an warriors carried HB-9s during the Battle of Utapau.
