The BAW-88 Blaster Carbine was created as a part of a modernization effort by Brayde Armor Works, on the behalf of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, to provide a standard model of blaster for the use of CIS infantry. Designed to be easy to manufacture at massive rates, while also being high quality, the BAW-88 Blaster Carbine is a lighter version of more heavier blaster rifles, perfect for light infantry or security forces. Viable for most battlefield situations, the BAW-88 is the favorite of both soldiers and police forces alike.
