The Freedom One blaster achieved considerable popularity and was produced by the SoroSuub Corporation. This weapon was essentially a replicated design of the E-11 medium blaster rifle from BlasTech Industries, which served as the standard blaster rifle for the Galactic Empire's Stormtrooper Corps. Among numerous corporate efforts to emulate the E-11's success, the Freedom One stood out as the most triumphant. Initially, it carried the name Stormtrooper One, but following the corporation's shift in loyalty to the Rebel Alliance, it was rebranded as the Freedom One.
The second edition of Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, a Star Wars Legends sourcebook released in October of 1992, marked the initial mention of the Freedom One. Within the current Star Wars canon, its first appearance occurred in "Blasters and Ranged Weapons," a French reference book by Altaya that was released on February 23, 2021
