Mining laser

A mining laser was a laser used by personnel on many mining stations, such as the Peragus Mining Facility. Miners used them because they doubled as a defensive weapon, and it could be used to drill through rock without setting fuel barrels and other flammable objects ablaze. Many mining droids used this device in their mining operations. Various size existed, from the smaller, pistol-like versions, to the heavier, two-handed ones.Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
