Aquatic plasma ordinance emplacement

Aquatic plasma ordinance emplacements, colloquially known as APOEs, were blaster cannons specially designed to operate in watery environments. They first saw large-scale use aboard the watercraft of the Imperial Maritime Force and by local oceanic police forces.

APOEs were relatively identical in design and function to common blaster cannons, though often consumed more energy due to its unique containment field technology that allowed it to fire powerful blaster bolts above and below water. APOE technology was based on the experimental blaster rifles used by the Grand Army of the Republic's Submarine Combat Units and later the Imperial Maritime Force's seatroopers.
