Laser Weapons
Weapons that use intense light photons to heat something to a point of melting, incineration, combustion and possibly explosion depending. These weapons take many forms and many Empires have these weapons to some degree, and they can be either infantry, vehicle, or ship based weapons.
New Covenant Laser Weapons
The New Covenant has access to the most wide spread and powerful laser based weaponry of any empire, having no rival in this field. This mostly has to do with a cost effective design capable of mass production and distribution among infantry.
Laser Rifle and Pistols
New Covenant Guardsmen have Laser Rifles and Laser Pistols as standard issue weapons, these weapons use rechargeable packs that can be recharged by heat and light over time, though charging them with another power source such as a generator is always faster, but this does severely improve their efficiency and making them less cumbersome by not needing power packs that other Empire would need to use to achieve this. However higher end more powerful Lasers do need a power pack, but these older models have been phased out by Over-Charged Laser Rifles and Pistols, which use a super charged rechargeable power pack that provides them with more power, but these weapons are more advanced, in fact the most advanced Laser Weapon of standard size that is fielded and is limited by numbers unlike their cheaper counter parts.
Laser Cannons
The next step up in New Covenant laser weapons, these weapons are usually vehicle mounted and are specifically used for anti-armor purposes. Such weapons are capable of punching a hole right through a Crusader if given the chance, due to the amount of power they out put in a single shot. These weapons can be Twin-Linked on vehicles, to provide more anti-armor power. Laser Cannons also have Hand held Heavy Weapon versions that are usually shoulder mounted, but can be held depending on the Model. These are also used in emplacements and can be manned by a heavy weapons team, mounting it on a tripod. These infantry versions use single use battery packs as the amount of power needed to fire it uses an entire charge, though they can be attached to a generator to power them. On vehicles they are always connected to a generator.
Multi-Laser
Another Laser weapon, these weapons are mounted on vehicles, usually light vehicles and light walkers. These weapons are powered by the vehicles generator and are rapid fire lasers meant for killing infantry and suppressive fire. This weapon is most typically mounted on light troop transports for New Covenant Guardsmen.
