To stop the enemy boarders, rebel soldiers attacked with DH-17 blasters but were eventually defeated by the Imperial forces. When the Alliance members were on the run from the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Devastator to transmit the stolen Death Star plans to Alderaan, their ship, the CR90 corvette Tantive IV, was halted and Imperial stormtroopers entered the ship. Rebel troopers prepare to fight with DH-17 blaster pistols. History ĭuring the Galactic Civil War, many rebel troopers were armed with DH-17 blaster pistols.
Its high rate of fire and reasonable accuracy made it ideal for medium-range combat. The pistol could also be fired fully automatic, but the power would be drained within ~20 seconds, making fully automatic firing only worth using in panic situations. The pistol was dependable on a semiautomatic setting, firing in short bursts. The DH-17 blaster pistol was commonly used by soldiers of the Rebel Alliance for conflicts aboard starships, and sometimes the officers of the Galactic Empire carried it instead of the standard E-11 blaster rifles.
