OOC: Sorry, I've been on a temporary hiatus since I lost all my WSC ships. But what is the range of that laser weapon?

IC:

The Sith incursion is detected by the Tiger Arc system, but it warps too far away for the long-range Mk 8 rail guns and the bomber-launched FBW-N hypersonic missiles. The civil defense alarm has barely sounded when the massive rays of light rain down from the sky. Although no vital infrastructure is hit, a few agriculture fields are razed to the ground and hundreds of civilians are killed. As rescue teams put out the fires and treat the wounded, AFOH forces approach the Sith fleet.

A squadron of 30 Paladin heavy fighters warp near the battle. As the CN is still considered an enemy state, the commander is cautious about making a headlong attack in fear of a double-cross, but the arrival of the AIF and Aneph fleets finally confirm that the CN is friendly. The fighters launch 4 nuclear-zipped hypersonic missiles each and these hit the screening Shadow Blades, causing considerable damage. Then a formation from the 1AF consisting of 6 Desecrations, 3 Venators (carrying 180 Cobras and 90 Durandals), 3 Devastations (with 270 Vautours), and 10 Revanches and 20 Themis escorts (with 480 Vautours) joins in. While the Vautours engage the TIEs, the Cobras and Durandals attack the 3 remaining Sabers, overwhelming their defenses with sheer numbers.
