BlasTech Industries

BlasTech Industries was an arms manufacturer operating from the time of the Clone Wars (22 BBY) to the Cold War era (29-34 ABY). It notably produced the DC-15 family of blaster rifles and carbines for the Grand Army of the Republic, the E-11 medium blaster rifle used by the Stormtrooper Corps and the Imperial Army as well as the DH-17 blaster pistol, A300 blaster rifle, and the DL-18 blaster pistol used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Following the signing of the Galactic Concordance and the replacement of the Galactic Empire with the New Republic, BlasTech spun off a subsidiary with Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc., the Sonn-Blas Corporation, to operate within the borders of the First Order. The Merr-Sonn corporation continued its operation throughout the Cold War and the First Order-Resistance War and supplied the stormtrooper corps of the First Order with F-11D blaster rifles and SE-44C blaster pistols.
