A railgun or rail gun was a weapon which shot projectiles. In Hivebase-1, one of the many Tarkin Initiative prototypes included a Wookiee with a railgun for a head, which the archaeologist Chelli Lona Aphra called exquisite. The Imperial IGV-55 surveillance vessel Enduring Pride was modified to carry railguns, and used them for an orbital strike on Milvayne during the Galactic Civil War.
