Laser Cannon - Lasers don't do a lot of damage. Still, nearly all pilots have at least one story in which the long range of the laser allowed them to get first strike on a foe. Despite their low damage potential, lasers are reliable, versatile, and effective - they have probably accounted for more enemy kills than any other weapon.
Laser Cannon. The least powerful, most reliable blaster-type weapons, lasers don't inflict much damage, but are effective at long range.
Laser Cannon
The laser is the backbone of today’s energy guns. Consistently improved upon and perfected over the last half-century, the laser provides the standard against which most
other blasters are judged. Low maintenance and a low energy cost make it standard armament for almost every ship in existence. The laser is ideally suited to deep-space
combat (in atmospheric conditions, rays refract and lose their effectiveness), and has no effect against shields on larger ships.
