The RK-3 blaster was a model of blaster pistol manufactured by Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc. and later Sonn-Blas Corporation[1] that was used by the Galactic Empire,[2] the First Order,[4] and crime lord Azmorigan.[5] Imperial officers like Imperial Security Bureau Agent Alexsandr Kallus,[6] Grand Admiral Thrawn,[7] Vice Admiral Edmon Rampart,[8] Captain Mann,[9] and Governor Arihnda Pryce[10] used the RK-3. Clone X trooper CX-2 used the RK-3 as a backup weapon.[11] Bounty hunter Bossk'wassak'Cradossk also wielded the RK-3 during a raid on the Halcyon to capture Stolak Vandello, a former member of the Black Sun.[12] First Order TIE Fighter Pilot Major Elrik Vonreg wielded his own RK-3 that was red.[13] First Order Security Bureau Agent Tierny wielded two RK-3s.[14]
The blaster had a stun setting[15] and was effective in close-range combat, but ineffective when fighting heavily armored enemies, making it weaker than standard blaster pistols.[4]
