Colony Laser

Despite its name it doesn't fire a laser but a powerful, wide particle beam. If it was to be compared to anything it would be a Death Star. Buy the Colony Laser isn't capable of shattering a world, nor would the Systems Alliance turn this weapon on a planet for any reason. Its simply used for defense. Currently there are four Colony Lasers. Three stationed in the Earth Sphere, and one over the Draconian home world.

History
Colony Lasers existed as long as Mobile Suit have, though they have seen many changes over time. The very first one might have change the tide of the One year War if it wasn't fire prematurely, which caused it to burn its self out. It was built out of an already existing Colony that was damaged and abandoned.

The second one built scratch and was much more sturdy, able to take several direct hits before it started to affect its functions. It was this Colony Laser that saw action against the CIS. While its wasn't strong enough to destroy the larger CIS ship out right, it still severally damaged them to the point where conventional war ships were able to finish them off. It was fired 3 times during the invasion during 2 separate battles. After its first shot the CIS managed to trick them into firing at a dummy fleet the second time. It was then a race to defend the weapon as it recharged. The CIS put every thing they had to destroy the weapon before it could fire a third time but in the end, it did. The Colony Laser, due to the damage it took, destroyed its self firing the third shot but it did the trick. The invasion fleet was finished.

The third Colony Laser, and three more after, were built by the Systems Alliance. These Colony Lasers saw a drastic fire power increase as well better maneuvering, longer range and were a lot tougher. Everything was standardized and stricked codes of use were put in place.
