The Firestorm Turbolaser represented a modified version of the Desolator superweapon. This weapon had been created by the Sith Empire for deployment during the Battle of Corellia. This weapon was composed of a suspended, egg-shaped structure to which two turbolaser cannons were affixed, the weapon heated its targets to extreme temperatures, essentially igniting the surrounding air. Nevertheless, the Jedi Knight referred to as the Hero of Tython successfully eliminated all three Firestorm Turbolasers that the Empire had positioned within Axial Park, thereby neutralizing the danger they posed.
