[edit] Overview
The most powerful weapon in the Kha'ak Kyon Emitter series, equipped on battleships.
[edit] Encyclopedia Entry
[edit] Commentary
The Gamma KE version is showing its age. With a shorter range than Commonwealth capital weapons and very low attack power, this laser is quite underwhelming. It is still lethal to fighters however, being a beam weapon, and can severely damage some frigates, though even Khaak destroyers can easily be killed by anti-capital equipped frigates. It also suffers from massive energy drain, and is highly inefficient- more so than any of the other kyon weapons. Interestingly, the Terraformer #Deca mothership can utilise these lasers. The only reason a player would spend any amount of time in the hostile Khaak sector for these is if they'd used the 'double-boarding' exploit to capture the #Deca during the terran plot, since the Kyon lasers are the only weapons it can use. Otherwise, they are useless: low resale price, no compatible player-ownable ships and general difficulty to acquire.
