"We count thirty Rebel ships, Lord Vader, but they're so small they're evading our turbolasers."
―Lieutenant Tanbris
Description
A Turbolaser is scaled-up version of the Blaster Cannon or Laser Cannon, it is effectively particle beam weapon that fires short burst particle beams through energized plasma, which is then super-charged by capacitors and another stream of energized plasma gas giving it a charge several times more powerful than a Laser Cannon.
Turbolasers are usually deployed as ground defenses, on vehicles or on starships.
