Small and deadly, these NMX battle pods first were first produced in YE 30 and first appeared in YE 31.

These fully automated, mass-produced battlepods are equipped with four heavy anti-fighter cannons (two on each turret). Their two turrets can rotate to fire sideways, up or down, and even in reverse. Type 30A battlepods are also equipped with an underslung missile launcher that holds 24 missiles – 12 firing forward and 12 firing rearward.
