Laser cannons were powerfullaser weapons that were commonly outfitted to vehicles,starfighters, and otherstarships,[1] emitting a focused laser beam,[2] while firing concentrated bolts of energy.[1] A lasercannon could be fixed in place or attached to aturret[3] or ball-mounted swivel,[4] allowing the weapon to aim and fire in many directions.

Laser cannons operated on similar principles asblasters andblaster cannons — using high-energy gas to fire concentrated bolts of energy — but could be more powerful and with greater range. They were the dominant weapon of thegalaxy, with a variety of different models mounted on both civilian and military vehicles and vessels.[1]

Like blasters, many laser cannons could vary the intensity of their shots. The laser cannons on aUT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft could be adjusted so that a single shot would reduce a person to ash.[5] The laser cannons on aLow Altitude Assault Transport/infantry could fire bolts of up to 5 gigajoules.[1]

Laser cannons could also be used to shoot down enemymissiles.[6][7][8][9][10][11] However doing so required a workingtargeting computer, as otherwise hitting missiles traveling at extreme velocities could be incredibly hard.[9] Even with a targeting computer, some targets could be very difficult to hit: during theGreat Hyperspace Disaster,Galactic RepublicLongbeam cruiser fighters had a one-in-three chance of hitting debris from theLegacy Run traveling at close to light-speed.[12]

Manufacturers of laser cannons includedSureggi, whose product was on board theAuzituck anti-slaver gunship.[3]
