*Energy Weapon

The Deimos Heavy Laser was originally designed by Phobos Proprietary Systems for rack-mount use on base and destroyer turrets. Field trials soon found it to be just as effective while mounted on fighters. The Deimos Heavy Laser does 330% more shield and hull damage than the Flare Medium Laser. The drawbacks to the Deimos Heavy Laser are its slow rate of fire, and high energy drain.

Notes[]

  • The Deimos Heavy Laser deals 330% more shield and hull damage than the Flare Medium Laser.
  • Deimos Heavy Laser is one of the main weapons used on starbase and capital ship subsystem turrets.

Trivia[]

  • The Deimos Heavy Laser has the slowest rate of fire of any laser in the game at 60 RPM.
  • Deimos and Phobos are both moons of the planet Mars. The name of this laser and the corporation that manufactured is likely an intentional reference. Additionally, the laser's color is red, possibly another reference to the reddish color of the planet itself.
