The Imperial heavy repeater represents a weapon design produced by BlasTech Industries and employed by the forces of the Imperial Army. This weapon discharged ionized bursts of metallic projectiles with extreme rapidity. During the time that the Galactic Empire was under its reign, Masse Goskey, together with his colleague Ephant Mon, acquired an Imperial heavy repeater for 2,700 credits. They operated Masse Goskey's Arms Emporium and Explosives Mart, a business located within the Mos Eisley spaceport situated on the world of Tatooine. Mon documented this transaction within the pages of the Smuggler's Guide, a publication passed between various individuals engaged in criminal activities, each adding their own insights and data.
