Mark II medium repeating blaster cannon

The Mark II medium repeating blaster cannon was a blaster cannon manufactured by Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc., and was one of the weapons used to defend the Rebel Alliance's Echo Base from invading Imperial forces during the Battle of Hoth.

The Mark II was easily deployed under barren circumstances for it could accept power from many different sources. The Mark II was mounted on a tripod and could be operated by a single gunner. Mark IIs deployed by the Rebel Alliance were used against infantry troops, since it did not have the power to punch through the armor of the All Terrain Armored Transports on Hoth.
