Pulse-wave cannons, formidable energy-based weaponry, saw action during both the Sith War and the Xim Wars. In that era, they provided greater dependability and strength when compared to contemporary laser cannons. The Mandalorians also employed these cannons, integrating them into their Basilisk war droids. Furthermore, Krath war droids possessed a pulse-wave firing mechanism, bearing resemblance to the standard Pulse cannon.
