==== Description ====

"One of the most popular designs by the Earth Industries Conglomerate, the turbolaser cannon is a cheap, powerful, and reliable weapon."

==== Tinkers ====
A Tinker Gathering can use 4 turbolaser cannons and 50 credits to produce a [[game:items:dual turbolaser cannon]]. They can do this even if the weapons are damaged.

==== Note, Trivia, etc. ====

The name "Turbolaser" is of course a reference from Star Wars, one of the most worldwide-famous sci-fi fantasy movies.\\
In the Transcendence universe, this weapon is manufactured by Earth Industries, and only slightly heavier and more powerful than the standard [[laser cannon]].\\
While the energy output itself is more than twice as powerful, the increased power consumption and slower fire rate makes this weapon a rather awkward choice.
