The CZ-28 Flamestrike was produced by Czerka Arms. They obtained the schematics for the CR-28 flame cannon from Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc. and subsequently marketed it under a different designation.
Later, weapons engineers of the Imperial Army modified the weapon for integration with cloud cars and repulsorlift platforms. This vehicle-mounted weapon would have inflicted substantial casualties on enemy ground forces in battle. Upon learning about this advancement, Alliance High Command promptly deployed a strike force with the objective of destroying the manufacturing facility and halting the weapon's creation.
