Created by Tampson Consolidated as one of their few original starship weapon systems, it was envisioned as a component to a line of blastboats or heavy assault crawlers. These vehicles ended up not being as popular as hoped, but the Twin Light Turbolaser Cannon Turret itself proved to be a good seller on the corporate freighter market, where large shippers were concerned about the frequency of pirate attacks by small capital ships. Tampson Consolidated continues to sell these rapid-firing light turbolasers on the open market for anyone who can afford them. They are more expensive than traditional turbolasers due to their compact size, and so are only used in places where space is at a premium, or rapid-fire is needed to hammer foes into submission.
