turbolaser

Capital ship armament

A turbolaser is a powerful energy weapon in science fiction, particularly the Star Wars universe, mounted on starships and space stations.

The name suggests a laser enhanced by turbo technology, though the fictional mechanics vary.

Turbolasers serve as heavy artillery in space battles: The Star Destroyer's turbolasers tore through the rebel cruiser's shields.
