The Aurora Cannon Prior to the Rakatan Civil War and the demise of the Infinite Empire, the Aurora Cannon was an archaic weapon crafted by the Rakata. It was situated within Section X on the planet Belsavis. This cannon is believed to represent their endeavor to develop weaponry capable of countering orbital threats, potentially surpassing later iterations in terms of power, considering the attributes of Rakatan technology. In the course of the Galactic War that unfolded between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, the Dread Guard sought to seize control of this ancient armament, aiming to harness its capabilities for the benefit of the Dread Masters. Upon discovering this plot, both the Republic and the Empire dispatched specialized teams to Section X, with the mission of obliterating the weapon's energy core through the employment of ion detonators, thereby thwarting the Dread Masters' scheme.
