Trans-Interface Warfare

Trans-Interface Warfare
Research Cost: 25000
Summary
We develop ground emplacements that can shield regions from bombardment and destroy armored targets in low orbit.
Description
Over the past few decades, we have refined our combat laser technology by boosting their power, creating ultra-precise mirrors, and designing hyper-efficient wavelength shifters. Now, we have combined these advancements into powerful, fixed weapon emplacements, designed for the defense of human settlements. By combining an array of powerful lasers with cutting-edge sensors, these turrets are capable of targeting and destroying incoming missiles and ships before they reach the ground. They are even capable of firing their beams at targets in low orbit. The technological breakthrough that made these systems possible is the highly advanced, nanoparticle-coated mirror system, which ensures high-precision targeting together with ultra-fast reaction times, granting nearly full coverage of the skies above. Think of these emplacements as a vast shield, taking the form of a boundlessly destructive weapon.
