The DC-17 repeater hand blaster, also known more simply as a DC-17 hand blaster, was a model of heavy blaster pistol and the Grand Army of the Republic's standard-issue sidearm. Produced by BlasTech Industries, the DC-17 was usually given to weapon teams, the crews of vehicles, and officers. The weapon was one of the most reliable and toughest models of blaster pistols created, as well as having remarkable stopping power in its small design. The weapon was also well balanced, possessed a respectable rate of fire, and lightweight.[3]

History[]

RebelRex USWNE

Clone Captain Rex used two DC-17s and continued to long after the Clone Wars.

Of the Republic clone troopers who used the blaster during the Clone Wars, high-ranking commanders, captains,[5] and ARC troopers were all users.[11] During the conflict, ARC troopers, as well as other special forces units like Clone Force 99 within the Special Operations Brigade, used the DC-17 for close-quarters fighting and as a backup weapon.[3]

Clone Captain Rex, a notable clone trooper officer[12] who served in the elite 501st Legion,[13] preferred to use two DC-17s at once.[1] After the Clone Wars, clone stormtroopers such as Captains Howzer[7] and Wilco[14] continued to make use of the blaster. In the years leading up to the Galactic Civil War, the Twi'lek rebels Numa and Gobi Glie also used these blasters.[15] Lieutenant Dicer of the Phoenix Cell also used this model when she was attacked by krykna, spider-like creatures native to the planet Atollon.[16]
