It was used at the Battle of Moria. The 501st Legion destroyed two of them to clear a path for Gandalf the White. They were also used during the Battle of Lothlórien as the Separatists' primary defenses, until they were destroyed by Clone heavy assault troopers, and an AT-TE. They were also used on Helm's Deep by the Republic and Wookiees. The Particle cannon turret was also on Naboo during the Imperial invasion. Particle cannon turrets were also found on many capital ships, including Venator-class Star Destroyers, Imperial I-class Star Destroyers, Imperial II-class Star Destroyers, Mon Calamari cruisers and Providence-class carrier/destroyers and ground units such as AT-ATs, T4-B heavy tank, AATs and many more.
