Does anyone know what the max range of a HTL is?

Well, the maximum range of the DS superlaser is 47 million kilometers, and in the Enemy Lines duology a modified turbolaser battery fired at a worldship from outside a solar system to hit the ship in orbit around the inner planet(Coruscant).

I spoke to Aaron Allston about the modifications, and the modifications mainly involved cosmetic things to make it look less like a TL and to lower the power of the beam whilst having it fire for an entire minute.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Coruscant located in a 12-planet system? Coruscant being the furthest in the interior.

If not please ignore my inane numbers, at the moment I'm tired and to lazy to look up this information :oops: , thanks.

Whoa. You've got connections with the authors? How on Earth???

Come to think of it however, there are few questions I would like to ask... :wink:

Well, no really, his email addy is on his site, www.aaronallston.com

It might take some time for him to answer though.
