The E-9 blaster was a compact blaster pistol manufactured as far back as 3653 BBY, which marked the concluding year of the Great Galactic War. During that time, the smuggler Zeerid Korr, an operative of the criminal syndicate known as the Exchange, wielded this pistol. Almost four millennia after that war, the E-9 remained in service during the initial phases of the Galactic Empire.
