W-165 planetary turbolaser



The w-165 Planetary Turbolaser was a heavy turbolaser that was built by Kuat Drive Yards.

w-165 was one of the moust powefull turbolasers ever build. The strength of shot was so large that it could ripple Imperial I-class Star Destroyer into pieces. Turbolaser platform contained the defensive systems as well as room of crew which made up almoust 50 persons. Turbolaser was defended by 4 meters deep armour-plate and several shield projectors. Movable, slow but precision platform made possible turbolaser to aim targets at low orbit and shoot them down. w-165 Planetary Turbolaser had its own 50 meters diameter reactor core. It was captable to develop enought power for w-165 to shoot each 10 seconds. Turbolaser barrel had over 25 metres of diameter and was filled with galwen network with total length of 3 kilometres. After shoot several large masts drain off excess of energy preventing the overload (and overheat) of the system.

Because of limited field of fire planets have to create entire network of the w-165 combined with ion cannons, such as v-150 Planet Defender, and planetary shield generators. In spite of incredibly high price (over 10 millions credits) many civilized planets decides on purchase w-165.
