These documents were originally composed by Brian Young. Note that Brian is no longer actively maintaining or updating these pages, and that with his permission, StarDestroyer.Net is now hosting them as a public service, to ensure that they will not vanish from the Internet.


These pages present a study and quantitative assessment of Star Wars turbolasers.

The information presented on these pages comes mostly from the Star Wars films themselves. My policy on "what is canon and what is not" is that the films, their novels, screenplays, and radio dramas are canon. Everything else is speculation.


Legal Note: Since this site is now being hosted on StarDestroyer.Net, I (Michael Wong) am now the de facto publisher even though Brian Young originally composed it. I would therefore like to make note of the fact that I have carefully examined the entire site and determined that its use of copyrighted images and trademarks from Star Wars qualifies as "fair use" under the provisions of copyright law.
