Extended Range Large Laser

Introduced in 2620 by the Terran Hegemony. The Extended-Range Large Laser (ER Large Laser) focuses a powerful beam of light on targets that causes damage by overheating or melting the target at extended ranges.

Functionality
As the name suggests, the Extended-Range variant of the Large Laser increases the power of the beam to project it to much farther ranges. The power necessary to facilitate the production of such generates a greatly increased quantity of waste heat.

Equivalents
As with most non-ER non-Pulse lasers, the Clans lack their own standard Large Laser.

Manufacturing
The Extended-Range Large Laser is manufactured on the following planets:

Variants

 * ER-LL-P: The Federated Commonwealth employed experimental versions of the ER Large Laser among some of its elite units during the War of 3039. While achieving the same range and destructive power, these prototypes were less accurate and generated random heat spikes.

Apocryphal Variants
These variants were introduced in various apocryphal sources, and thus far have not appeared in any canonical media.

From BattleTech (Video Game):
 * "SCI" : A LosTech ER Large Laser found in this game listed with an unknown manufacturer 'SCI.' Stats-wise it is similar to the extinct Terran Hegemony ER Large Laser in Classic Battletech.
