The brain child of G. W. Patchett was, at the time, the first true rifle in a carbine sized frame and has remained the standard by which others are judged. Baptized in flame during the closing days of the Clone Wars, it is one of the most popular rifles of all time with over 70 billion having been produced. The basic E-11 can be found almost anywhere. It is the standard isue weapon of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps, and it is one of the most common issue rifles in the Imperial military and the Corporate Sector's ESPOs. They are also in high demand (although heavily regulated) for civilian and corporate sales along with a brisk trade in them on the underground market. It has proven to be a highly versatile design, spawning a wide number of variations. To make up for the high demand for these weapons, BlasTech has authorized SoroSuub (under the name Stormtrooper One for Imperial sales and Freedom One for New Republic sales) and Merr-Sonn (under the name ISR-1 [Imperial Standard Rifle No. 1]) to manufacture them under license for about 10% of the profit. These three manufacturers are found mixed indiscriminately across the Empire in Imperial stocks. In addition to these, several specialized designs have been spawned. The basic E-11 is 43.8cm long (with stock folded), and weighs 2.6 kilograms. The power pack housing opens on the left side of the action housing, above the trigger, giving the E-11 a very low profile (useful when shooting prone or from a barricade), with a standard power pack providing 100 shots. The blaster gas chamber containes sufficient supplies for 30 power packs. All moving and/or metal parts are fitted with a corrosion-proof, vacuum-rated, dry lubricant. The top of the receiver has a universal, quick detach sight rail, which comes from the factory mounted with a light, 2X optical scope. The basic, three piece folding stock rides along the left side under the power pack. When ordering from the factory, one may specify that they wish a fixed stock or a one-piece, right-side folding stock at no extra cost. A range of three hundred metres, with an optimum one of one hundred, the E-11 has almost three times the range of hand-held pistols. The design of the rifle allows this range to be achieved, since the barrel runs almost the entire length of the weapon. This means that the bolt that is fired is very focused and extremely powerful. The long-range is achieved by the aid of an extendable stock and a computer-enhanced scope. The scope gives enhanced vision in low-light conditions, and filters out smoke and haze. This means that enemy troops who think they are concealed by smoke grenades, or who believe that the dark is hiding them, had better think again. Unlike other rifles, the only components that sit behind the long barrel are the prismatic crystal housing and the actuating blaster module. The rest of the components are placed either underneath the galven circuitry, or on the side of the rifle. That is except for the gas chamber, which are located on the back in a single module that can slide out of the rifle. The gas is fed into the weapon via a special tubular design which also sits on the slide out module. Sliding out the module makes it easy to replace or repair the chamber and tubes. A liquid cooling agent called freelol is force-fed, by the blaster’s cooling coils, through a capillary system in order to take heat away from any vital components. The excess heat is dispersed through the forward vent capacitor. All this prevents a problem that dogged many other blasters, in that the E-11 hardly ever over-heats and melts or explodes. Like most other blasters, the E-11 has different power settings, ranging from stun to full blast. The semiautomatic setting is the one most commonly used, although some troopers prefer full automatic, or even pulse settings, for some missions. The main problem with the automatic setting is that after prolonged use, the barrel can be moved to a different position, thus throwing off the sights. The semiautomatic is the most power-conserving setting. The quarter-centimeter bore on the E-11 makes it a heavy-duty blaster, and at full blast it can deal out a lot of damage.
