Lasers are equipped by ships and often traded by Equipment Docks and Military Outposts, or their Terran equivalents.   The ; types of Lasers of lasers able to be used equipped are dependent on ship type.   Lasers  Lasers require Energy Cells, Ore and Food wares to be produced.

The basic tool for ship-to-ship combat comes in the form of Laserslasers.    The firing of Lasers of lasers consumes Laser onboard Laser Energy which if depleted will prevent firing until the Laser Energy Reload Rate of the ship , resulting in a reduction in the rate of fire (RoF) until the ship's weapon energy has regenerated enough Laser Energy resulting in a reduction in the rate of fire.   Some Lasers consume ammo wares to fire but tend to require very little Laser Energy to fire.   Several Lasers (the Laser Energy Reload Rate of the ship will determine how long this takes). Some "lasers" consume ammo to fire but these tend to require very little laser energy.

Several lasers have special effects making them even more dangerous. The choice of lasers used on a ship depends greatly on the laser energy reload rate of the ship and whether it will see combat In-Sector or Out-of-Sector: for example ammo-consuming weapons are extremely deadly IS but inefficient OOS; however ships such as the Xenon J can quickly run out of laser energy IS (thus limiting their firepower), while OOS they can make full use of their multiple Photon Pulse Cannons.
