Long-range turbolaser

'Long-range turbolaser technology was developed by the Galactic Alliance during the Confederation-Galactic Alliance War. Long-range turbolasers had a significantly longer effective range than typical ones, allowing ships equipped with them to engage enemy craft from a distance at which the enemy could not respond. Prototype long-range turbolasers were installed in the nose of the Anakin Solo, which used them to bombard Kashyyyk until they were sabotaged and destroyed by Luke Skywalker. Long-range turbolaser technology was stolen by the Confederation very early on, however, and the Confederation was able to deploy the technology on many of its Star Destroyers at the Battle of Balmorra without the Galactic Alliance Fourth Fleet being so equipped. Only Rear Admiral Gavin Darklighter's bold tactic of sending his starfighter screen to engage the capital ships while leaving his own fleet open to starfighter counterattack was able to prevent the Galactic Alliance from being forced to withdraw.
