The StarAnvil Heavy Blaster Rifle was designed for use by Stormtroopers, and to inspire fear in those foes who were on its receiving end. It is one of the most lethal arms ever conceived by Imperial Munitions; as the company intended create a heavy blaster rifle with enhanced firepower. Capable of dishing out a large amount of destruction, the weapon permits Stormtroopers to improve their aim while firing the StarAnvil. What this weapon gains in firepower (by draining the power pack), it loses in ammunition capacity and range. Demand for what has been called the "ultimate blaster rifle" is high among collectors and shooters who covet accurate weapons. Currently, the weapon is strictly for Stormtrooper use only. Before the factory-moon of Cuthbern was abandoned due a Rebel attack, it was known for its extremely high quality of manufacture of weapons including the StarAnvil. Before the Battle of Endor, Cuthbern was the sole producer of the StarAnvil, and only a small number of weapons were delivered before production ceased. All subsequent, but scattered attempts to retro-engineer the StarAnvil for new production have unfortunately failed.
