                          Roger "StarWolf" Myhre


The starship lasers presented here is intended to use with Brilliant
Lances, and Traveller: The New Era. I have used Fire, Fusion & Steel,
GDW's book about hardware design for the Traveller universe. This
document will be updated as new lasers are being designed.

The un-manned turrets and barbettes require MFD's if installed. These
turrets and barbettes are recomended to be installed on larger starships
(2000tons or more) to save in on the crew count. The Turrets should then
be combined into batteries, with one MFD per battery.
