The twin 17kv antipersonnel blaster, a variant of the blaster cannon, was a standard armament on the Multi-Troop Transports used by both the Trade Federation and their dedicated droid army. After the Clone Wars began with the outbreak, the Multi-Troop Transport and, consequently, the 17kv antipersonnel twin blaster, became a weapon utilized by the Confederacy of Independent Systems within their droid forces throughout the conflict.
