The Westar-25 is a Commando Pistol used by the Dark Troopers and Imperial Pilots of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. The Westar-25 is a development from the Galactic Republic's commando pistol, the DC-17 Commando Pistol. Unlike the similarities between the Republics DC-17 Commando Pistol and the standard sidearm the DC-15s Sidearm Blaster, the Westar-25 shared almost no similarities with the standard Imperial SE-14r Blaster Pistol.
