- "The First Order has provided us with Sienar-Jaemus Fleet Systems L-s9.6 laser cannons. I'm confident that you all know how to operate these cannons."
- ―Jad Bean
The L-s9.6 laser cannon was a model of laser cannon produced by Sienar-Jaemus Fleet Systems. It was the standard armament for Sienar-Jaemus's TIE/fo space superiority fighter, which was equipped with two black L-s9.6 cannons, one on either side of the cockpit's underside. It was also used on the TIE/sf space superiority fighter. The vehicles and their weaponry were heavily used by the First Order in their conflict with the Resistance around thirty years after the Battle of Endor.[1]
