Autoturret

An autoturret was a blaster turret emplacement used to defend an area. Known for their killing power and effectiveness, they were employed by many factions throughout galactic history.
==History==
Autoturrets were used widely during the Jedi Civil War, with the Sith Empire deploying them to restrict access to the Undercity of Taris and to defend their military bases. Often, they were installed at the entrances to hidden bases, onboard capital ships, or near personal valuables.Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
During the First Jedi Purge, the fortified base of Khoonda on Dantooine utilized them.Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
In the later stages of the War of the Ring, portable autoturrets were used by both the Grand Army of the Republic and the Separatist Droid Army for covering fire or to reinforce the defense of field command posts. These autoturrets became the standard equipment of clone and droid snipers, who were entrusted with their deployment.Star Wars: Battlefront II
Autoturret turbolasers were used extensively in sensitive Imperial installations, such as the Imperial Detention Facility on Orinackra as well as on Imperial City, and most notably on the first and second Death Star.
