Rebel Gun Turret

The DF.9 Anti-Infantry turret battery stands ready to defend Rebel troops on Hoth from invading forces. This model is designed to be effective against infantry and small vehicles such as speeder bikes and skirmishing or scout craft. The battery is no match for the full-strength Imperial battle armor cladding the AT-AT walkers, however, and the Rebels knew that at best they would fight a delaying action from the snow trenches.

While the turret gun incorporates a proton shield generator and laser armor, the heavy blast cannons of the Imperial walkers pack a devastating punch. As the Imperial Blizzard Force closed range on the Rebel snow trenches, the defensive emplacements and their crews inside were blasted and destroyed.
