Which battleship from which sci-fi series has the longest laser range? Who has the longest? - Lemmy.world

The Behemoth from the Expanse Series had a laser with a range of literal light years.

Granted, it was a comm laser, but they did weaponize it at one point.

Even if we assume that the beam had a solar-system sized diameter after 4 ly, a weaponized output should still be in ship-killer range after an AE or five.

Ultimately, the weapon was never fired (and would have melted half the ship if it ever were).
