Anti-Vehicle Laser Cannon (Atgar 1.4 FD P-Tower)
The Atgar 1.4 FD P-Tower, manufactured by Atgar SpaceDefense, was a 2.8-meter tall dish-shaped laser cannon dating back to the Clone Wars. The Galactic Empire had largely abandoned it in favor of newer and more effective models, leaving the Rebel Alliance to take it as their own. It wasn't a particularly trustworthy weapon, for if even one of its 16 micro-power routers were to short circuit or otherwise malfunction, the entire cannon would be rendered useless. It also wasn't very conservative, expending its batteries after a mere 8 shots. Offsetting this however is the fact that, if it does work, the P-Tower was capable of disabling an Imperial AT-AT with a single shot. It also was very cost-effective, compensating for its poor reliability, and allowing smaller groups such as the Rebellion to get their hands on it. The Atgar P-Tower saw use by the Alliance during the Battle of Hoth.
