LC-10bW

Legends Canon version → Linked from 4 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Corellian Engineering Corporation LC-10bW, or laser ice-cutter, was a laser cannon used to sheer through ice with quick precision. These cutters were used by the Rebel Alliance Corps of Engineers, alongside excavator machinery, to carve out space inside the caves of Echo Base. The cutters need careful maintenance to operate in sub-freezing temperatures.

The LC-10bWs could be mounted on tripods or vehicles. On Hoth they were mounted on cannon sled ground vehicles. Luke Skywalker once manned an ice-cutter at Echo Base.
