Information:

The laser is the backbone of today's energy guns. Despite their low damage potential, lasers are reliable, versatile and effective. In fact, they probably account for more enemy fighter kills than any other weapon. Consistently improved upon and perfected over the last half-century, the laser provides the standard against which most other blasters are judged.

Low maintenance and a low energy cost make it standard armament for almost every ship in existence. The laser is ideally suited to deep-space combat (in atmospheric conditions, rays refract and lose their effectiveness), but has no effect against shields on larger ships.
