ATIE/ln space superiority starfighter opens fire with its lasers
Alaser or alaser beam, was created when energy-rich gas induced light, which would then be concentrated to form a focused high-energy beam of light. Depending on the hardness and density of the target's surface and the intensity of these beams, the resulting impact could melt through targets, create explosions and even disintegrate objects.[1]
The type of gas used to create the laser dictated the beams'color and qualities. The most common color was red because of its cheapertibanna gas fromBespin. Green beams were produced from a higher-quality gas, thus costing more. Blue beams used ion-based charges for more effectiveness against electronic and mechanical targets, such as droids. Orange beams were low powered and used more in training.[2]
Throughoutthe galaxy, lasers were most often employed in the form oflaser cannons.[3] Another laser weapon was theDLT-18 laser rifle.[4] The primary weapon of theDeath Star was an exceedingly powerfulsuperlaser capable of obliterating an entireplanet.[5] A superlaser was also employed on itssuccessor.[6]
