Laser Technology



Laser technology allows research into the laser based weapon systems used by a number of defensive structures and ships. This technology is also a necessity for expansion into ion and plasma based weapon systems.

Researching Laser Technology beyond level 12 gives no bonus (Defense laser bonus attack based only "weapons technology")

Description
''In physics, a laser is a device that emits light through a specific mechanism for which the term laser is an acronym: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers have many uses to the empire, from upgrading computer communications systems to the creation of newer weapons and space ships.''
