The E-5 Droid Blaster has been a staple in Trade Federation standard gear for many years. Developed during the Clone Wars to fill a gap in light duty hand held weaponry that would be effective against droid armies of the enemy, the E-5 took several years for Federation Research and Development Scientists to perfect. Early Models were much smaller, however due to the large firepower and early loss of many test subjects, a trendy Zeltron scientist thought the new bulbous appearance of the E-5 would make it a fashion accessory besides adding the extra radiation shielding so that the blaster's core no longer claimed the lives of its users.
Though newer blaster models have been able to achieve similar if not better firepower in smaller packages, the E-5 continues to be a staple, especially among the higher tiers of galactic galaxy society where it is seen more as a show piece to be proud of, and is often seen open holstered on the belts of many sentients during High Society parties in Tanaab.
