Background: The DT-29 was a deadly heavy blaster, delivering a brutal force per shot that all but guaranteed a kill in close quarters while remaining exceedingly dangerous at range. Extremely customizable, DT-29s could be custom-fitted to an owner’s specifications.

During the Galactic Civil War, some DT-29s found their way onto battlefields as service pistols; these blasters were fitted with energy packs that greatly enhanced stopping power and rate of fire but required the pack to be ejected and manually reloaded after just six shots. The DT-29 feeds from a 6-shot cylinder power cell and actually has to be reloaded rather than cooled down. Its unique crosshair seems to indicate that the cylinder behaves similar to that of a revolver, rotating between shots.

Director Orson Krennic notably used a non-regulation DT-29 custom-fitted with a macroscope, though he rarely used the weapon.
