The BlasTech Class VI automated laser projector was an automated laser trap used by the Empire in the detention blocks of the first Death Star.
Description[]
The laser trap had an optimum range of ten meters, and a maximum range of twenty-five meters. The bolts produced had the stopping power of a blaster rifle. Internal power cells supplied enough energy for fifty shots, though it could be linked to a generator for unlimited firepower. They also tended to be linked to the security cameras.
Behind the scenes[]
This weapon has a remarkable similarity to trip mines. This was most likely the inspiration for the design of them.
