411 Holdout Blaster


The 411 Holdout Blaster is a type of hold-out blaster that was created by the Czerka Arms company.

Description

Czerka Arms produced the 411, which is classified as a hold-out blaster. Its cost was 300 credits, and it had a weight of 0.5 kilogram. To achieve a greater range than typical hold-out blasters, the 411 incorporated a more focused emitter muzzle, extending its reach to twelve meters. However, this modification to the emitter resulted in a reduction of the blaster's damage output.

History

Czerka designed the 411 for the Galactic Empire. It was intended to be a hold-out blaster with an extended range. During the Galactic Civil War, forces belonging to the Alliance to Restore the Republic seized the weapon's design plans, along with an entire production run that was being transported to Coruscant. Following this acquisition, the weapon became a favored choice among Rebellion espionage agents operating undercover. Due to the notoriety of the Rebel theft, and persistent rumors linking Czerka to the Alliance, Czerka quickly entered into an exclusive manufacturing agreement with the Empire. This agreement served as the basis for Imperial Munitions.
