HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Following the Clone Wars, heavy planetary turbolaser towers—such as the Taim & Bak XX‑10—were refined and adapted for urban defense on key worlds like Coruscant. Their crews are trained through GA engineering brigades and the GA Navy's ordnance divisions. In the past, turret crews successfully neutralized low-flying gunships, buying time for infantry reinforcement. These towers continue to serve as cornerstone deterrents on rooftops, highways, and orbital shield-gate installations.
- Intent: To provide a standard, plug-and-play Galactic Alliance static defense crew to man rooftop or fortress-mounted turbolaser towers during invasions or sieges.
- Image Credit: N/A
- Role: Static defense unit responsible for operating and maintaining heavy turbolaser emplacements; key to denying airspace and softening enemy armor.
- Permissions: all factory items sourced with permission from GA War Manifest for Galactic Alliance Defence Force purposes.

GENERAL INFORMATION
- Unit Name: GA Turbolaser Tower Defense Crew
- Affiliation: Galactic Alliance
- Classification: Static Heavy Weapon Crew
- Description: A compact crew of 6–8 personnel trained to operate a heavy surface‑based turbolaser tower (akin to the XX‑10 model) within city skylines or fortress rooftops. Equipped in GACA‑14 armor, supported by a Z‑M0 tactical droid for targeting and diagnostics, and AT‑XV battle droids for security. Crews display unit insignia and shield‑reinforced helmets.
COMBAT INFORMATION
- Unit Size: Medium (6–8 operators + 1 droid)
- Unit Availability: Uncommon (requires specialized training and infrastructure)
- Unit Experience: Trained
- Equipment:
- Taim & Bak XX‑10 turbolaser tower (planetary-facing heavy turret)
- GACA‑14 Nemean Armor – crew armor
- GABB-15 Talon II Blaster Carbine – personal firearm
- AT‑NB5 Blaster Pistol – sidearm
- Z‑M0 55 Tactical Droid – targeting/diagnostics
- AT‑XV Battle Droid – external guard/maintenance
- Field tools, standby power packs
- Combat Function: Crews maintain 24/7 readiness to target incoming starfighters, gunships, or armored vehicles. They operate under central command, awaiting fire orders to engage threats in designated airspace envelopes. When offline for maintenance or repairs, they coordinate with nearby infantry and engineering teams to restore functionality. Towers are critical to defending the encroachment of enemy staging zones and softening armor ahead of frontline defenses.
- Force Abilities (Force User Units Only): N/A
Strengths:
- High-Powered Support – Turbolasers threaten starships, gunships, and tanks with heavy energy firepower.
- Defend Airspace – Their vertical traverse makes them ideal for protecting rooftops, landing zones, and high-altitude corridors.
Weaknesses:
- Static Vulnerability – Turbolasers require fixed power and cooling systems, making them susceptible to sabotage or forced shutdowns under focused attack.
- Slow Reaction Time – Towers have slow firing cycles and are ineffective against light infantry at close range.
