The C-M Dead Bolt Pistol, a kinetic pistol, represents a prototype developed by the Caelli-Merced Syndicate throughout the period of the Galactic Civil War.
In the year 1 ABY, spacers who provided aid to either the Rebellion or the Empire during the Battle of Restuss, subsequently earning commendations for their efforts, had the option to request this pistol from a Commendation officer aligned with their faction.
Within Star Wars Galaxies, this pistol appears as one of the numerous elements integrated into the Battle of Restuss narrative arc. Players were awarded a commendation item for their support of their chosen faction. These commendation items could be accumulated and exchanged for various items from non-player character (NPC) Commendation Officers.
