Laser Cannon

The laser cannon is a manned device that produces a parallel, monochromatic, and powerful beam of light by exciting atoms and causing the cannon to radiate energy as an outwardly destructive charge. These light beams crash against the ship's shields while seeking to weaken and destroy all invaders. A laser battery groups laser cannons together with improved targeting systems. These coordinated targeting systems allow the battery to focus the cannon's accuracy. This enhanced accuracy coupled with a multiple phasing capability produces an increased firepower that can shatter any ship's defenses...
