The Power 5 blaster, a Blaster pistol design, was produced by Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc. and saw utilization within the Imperial Military, for example by a hangar gantry officer stationed on the original Death Star. This weapon was developed to rival the DL-44 heavy blaster pistol from BlasTech Industries. Achieving market success, it gained recognition as a lawful and less powerful option compared to the DL-44. Dedra Meero of the Imperial Security Bureau wielded a Power 5 blaster amidst the events of the Uprising on Ferrix.
