Turbolaser

I find your lack of sources disturbing. This article needs to be provided with more sources and/or appearances to conform to a higher standard of article quality.

A turbolaser was a powerful laser cannon turret stationed aboard large craft and space stations, such as the Death Star^[1] and the Death Star II.^[2] Spacecraft that were equipped with turbolasers included the Tantive IV^[3] and the Malevolence.^[4]

A turbolaser's effectiveness was weakened drastically as the bolt moved through layers of a planet's atmosphere, making them largely ineffective even against unshielded targets. However, this could be ameliorated by moving the ship deeper into the planet's stratosphere.^[5]

Some turbolaser had a limited range of effectiveness, as seen when the Supremacy's weapons were unable to cause damage to the Raddus from a long distance.^[6]

Thorilide, mined from the Inner Rim moon Cynda, was a vital resource in a turbolaser.^[7]
