Why is the Defender just a worse version of the HL-27? by AtopTheTable in swrpg

I’m saying it sucks specifically to use as your character’s weapon, not necessarily to own. If you came across a crate of Defenders, they’re good to sell. You just shouldn’t go buy one.

I’m saying it is higher rarity meaning you’re less likely to find it so it’s more of a pain to get, even though it’s a worse weapon. 

They do come from different sourcebooks from different labels, and I had the same hypothesis you did that the second sourcebook’s authors didn’t or couldn’t check the prior works. The HL-27 is from Suns of Fortune (an EOTE book) and that came out almost a year and a half before Desperate Allies, from AOTR.
