Line 23: Developed by the [[Lyran Alliance]] in [[3064]], the '''Bombast Laser''' was designed to be the ultimate word in [[laser]] weapons. During the design process, its engineers had to reduce the weight of the weapon. This sacrifice came from the power supply, which made the weapon slow at charging.
