Droid laser turrets were a type of turret droid armed with a turbolaser. They consisted of a gray oblate spheroid body with two barrels protruding from it and a trunk ascending from the top of the spheroid to the surface that the turret was attached to. A droid laser turret was concealed within the ceiling of a hangar within the Trade Federation's modified Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 cargo freighter Saak'ak.
During the blockade of the planet Naboo in 32 BBY, the turret descended and fired upon the Galactic Republic Consular-class cruiser Radiant VII on the orders of Viceroy Nute Gunray. The turret targeted the cruiser's cockpit, destroying the vessel and killing its crew, Captain Maoi Madakor and pilot Antidar Williams.
