Squintpipe process

The squintpipe process was a weapon system used by the Galactic Republic during the Old Republic era of 7700s BBY. Following the Waymancy Storm, Verpine master crafter Lyns Skutroo reverse-engineered the Sif-Alulan process used by the Waymancy weapons to develop the squintpipe process. This resulted in a brief period where rapid-firing turbolasers outclassed any available deflector shield across the galaxy, until 7500s BBY when further developments in the squintpipe process resulted in stronger deflector shields.
