Laser

A laser was a beam of focused energy operating under the same principles as blaster weaponry. Energy-rich gas would be converted to a glowing particle beam that could melt through targets. Throughout the galaxy, it was most often employed in the form of the laser cannon weapon. The primary weapon of the Death Star was an exceedingly powerful superlaser capable of obliterating entire planets. It was also employed on its followup. Another laser weapon was the DLT-18 laser rifle
