The Crusader M-XIII Carbine represents an experimental energy carbine manufactured by the Caelli-Merced Syndicate throughout the time of the Galactic Civil War.
In the year 1 ABY, spacers who provided support to either the Rebellion or the Empire in the course of the Battle of Restuss, and subsequently were given commendations acknowledging their contributions, gained the opportunity to request this weapon from a Commendation officer aligned with their respective faction.
This carbine appears as one of numerous objects within Star Wars Galaxies as a component of the Battle of Restuss narrative. Players were awarded a commendation item for aiding their chosen faction; these items could be accumulated and exchanged for a selection of goods from Commendation Officer NPCs.
