Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

BlasTech’s SE-14 blaster pistols are popular across the galaxy because of their high rate of fire and easy disassembly for maintenance. Jyn Erso gave the reprogrammed Imperial security droid K-2SO an SE-14C blaster pistol on Scarif. A young Lando Calrissian favored a stylish SE-14r repeating blaster plated with brushed chromium and featuring a mother-of-pearl grip.

At the heart of every Jedi lightsaber is a kyber crystal found on several planets, most notably the icebound caves of Ilum. This crystal is attuned to the Force, and connected to a Jedi Knight on a deeply personal level. In this way, a lightsaber is an extension of a Jedi's Force awareness. Because Jedi let the Force guide their selection of the crystal, the vibration that the crystal creates in the lightsaber blade helps Jedi center themselves and find balance in the Force. In this way, a Jedi can center his or her attention beyond the distractions of combat. A lightsaber crystal is colorless until first attuned and connected to a Jedi -- at which times it glows either blue or green, or in some rare instances, another shade. From that point on, it retains that hue.

Orson Krennic believes in leading from the front, and his instinct is to order troops to follow him into danger rather than sending them to do his bidding. The action-oriented weapons director flouts both Imperial regulations and customs by carrying a DT-29 heavy blaster with a custom-fitted macroscope.

As the Ersos fled Coruscant, a small fragment of kyber crystal from Galen’s research caught Lyra’s eye. Hoping it brought good luck, she took it to Lah’mu and made it into a pendant. As the Empire closed in, Lyra gave the pendant to Jyn, reminding her to trust in the Force. Jyn has kept it during her travels as a link to her lost family.

Jyn Erso has survived by being observant, resourceful and light-fingered. When she learns she’s headed for the war zone of Jedha, she helps herself to a BlasTech A-180 pistol left unattended by one of Massassi base’s rebels – a weapon she’s permitted to keep, to the consternation of K-2SO.

Lah’mu has abundant water, but tephra ejected by the planet’s volcanoes contains minerals that make its groundwater unpleasant to drink. The Erso homestead uses GX-8 condenser units manufactured by Pretormin Environmental to distill water vapor from the air and store it for later use.

A popular holographic board game, dejarik is commonly played on starships throughout the galaxy.

A variant of the standard E-11 rifle used by the Stormtrooper Corps, the E-11D boasts a stock and a large-bore reinforced rifle to maximize the weapon’s intensity and rate of fire. The Empire’s elite death troopers use these rifles on a number of missions.

Each of the Empire’s Death Stars was built around a terrifying weapon – a superlaser array capable of destroying a planet. According to legend, the ancient Sith used massive kyber crystals to create superweapons; during the Clone Wars, the Geonosians revived the superlaser design. The Empire constructed the first Death Star in secret for nearly two decades before using it to destroy Alderaan; the second Death Star boasted a more powerful superlaser, with improved targeting sensors and power regulators.

The plans for the Empire’s ultimate weapon reside in a electromagnetic cartridge in the Structural Engineering node of the Scarif vault’s datatree. The plans contain the Death Star’s entire design history, including the flaw introduced into its reactor system. Stolen by Jyn Erso, they are beamed to the Profundity, copied and hidden in the memory systems of a humble astromech droid.

Chirrut Îmwe carries a flame-hardened staff of uneti-wood while afoot in Jedha’s Holy City. The staff appears to be nothing more than a blind man’s walking stick, but it is a deadly weapon in Chirrut’s hands. One end is capped with an enclosure for a kyber crystal, offering a symbolic source of inner illumination.

Before the Empire left their traditions in ruins, a Guardian of the Whills constructed a lightbow as part of his or her spiritual progression. A lightbow is similar to the bowcasters built by Kashyyyk’s Wookiees, marrying handcrafted artisanry with technology to create a weapon more powerful than a heavy rifle. Chirrut Îmwe uses his lightbow to devastating effect on Eadu and Scarif.
