About Phased-Array Lasers

Phased-Array Lasers is a Terra Invicta technology in Energy with a research cost of 70,000.

Advanced laser weapons, nicknamed phasers, use AI-managed mirror arrays to allow targeting at extreme ranges.

We have now reached what is considered to be the pinnacle of combat laser technology. These novel phased-array lasers, quickly christened as phasers by engineers, have exceeded all previous expectations. They employ second-generation arc lasers, together with an improved, AI-guided mirror system, in order to attain the extreme ranges that have previously eluded our energy weapons. The AI for these mirror systems has been trained on millions of hours of ship combat data, which enables it to predict enemy ship maneuvers based on even the smallest adjustment of course. These predictions, together with an ultrafast response time of mere nanoseconds, allow the AI to perform high-precision shots at moving targets, even at extreme distances. This is the zenith of laser weapons - little, if anything, will be able to stand against it.
