Description[edit]
The Medium Re-Engineered Laser is an advanced-grade energy weapon first developed by the Federated Suns in the mid thirty-second century. The weapon along with its other brethren were originally developed in an attempt to create a hybrid of the Clans' Heavy Laser and Pulse Laser. However, the resulting hybrid resulted in a weapon that neither was able to inflict heavy damage nor accuracy noticeable to a pilot.
However, the unexpected results of this experiment was an energy weapon able to defeat reinforced and advanced armor types first fielded during the Jihad and the later Dark Age. The weapon when facing other armor types is only able to inflict slightly more damage than a standard model laser, in this case the Medium Laser. Also, the Medium RE Laser also has the same ranges and the standard Medium Laser as well.[6]
