The Crusader M-XIV represented an early energy rifle design, manufactured by the Caelli-Merced Syndicate throughout the era of the Galactic Civil War.
In the year 1 ABY, spacers who provided aid to either the Rebellion or the Empire amidst the Battle of Restuss, and subsequently earned commendations for their contributions, gained the privilege to request this rifle from a Commendation officer aligned with their faction.
This particular rifle is among the numerous objects showcased within Star Wars Galaxies as an integral element of the Battle of Restuss narrative. Gamers obtained a commendation token for their support of their preferred side; these tokens could be accumulated and exchanged with Commendation Officer non-player characters (NPCs) for a range of goods.
