Boarding Carbine

When fighting in close quarters a blaster carbine is usually the preferred
weapon. Blaster rifles often prove to be too bulky and hard to handle in
small spaces while blaster carbines tend to be smaller and better suited for
such situations.

Kashan Systems contracted its sister company, Kashan Industries, to design
a weapon to be used during boarding operations by the navy troopers of the
Palvar Defense Force (PDF). The resulting weapon was the TTI-S carbine.

The TTI-S blaster carbine is one of the best weapons ever created by Kashan
Industries. The blaster carbine has a faster recycle rate than most blasters
and features an under-barrel micro-grenade launcher which stores a pair of
concussion stun grenades (they can be replaced with smoke grenades). To make
the TTI-S more versatile, Kashan Industries added a folding stock that
easily locks in and out of the extended position. For boarding operations in
starships with lighting problems, a built in flashlight may be activated by
using a thumb switch that is located just above the barrel.

The weapon has proven extremely effective in its intended role, and nearly
90% of all PDF navy troopers make it their weapon of choice. It is rumored
that Kashan Industries plans on exporting the weapons out of the Palvar
Sector, perhaps selling the design to either Merr-Sonn Munitions or BlasTech.
