== Description ==
Introduced in [[2620]] by the [[Terran Hegemony]]. The '''Extended-Range Large Laser''' (ER Large Laser) focuses a powerful beam of light on targets that causes damage by overheating or melting the target.<ref name="TMp226"/>

As the name suggests, the Extended-Range variant of the [[Large Laser]] increases the power of the beam to project it to much farther ranges. The power necessary to facilitate the production of such generates a greatly increased quantity of waste heat.

As with most Clan energy weapons, the Clans lack their own standard Large Laser.

== Manufacturing ==
The Extended-Range Large Laser is manufactured on the following planets:

==Variants==
*;ER-LL-P: The [[Federated Commonwealth]] employed experimental versions of the ER Large Laser among some of its elite units during the [[War of 3039]].  While achieving the same range and destructive power, these prototypes were less accurate and generated random heat spikes.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 145</ref>

===Apocryphal Variants===
{{ApocryphalContentStart}}
These variants were introduced in various apocryphal sources, and thus far have not appeared in any canonical media.

''From [[BattleTech (Video Game)]]:''
*;"SCI" : A LosTech ER Large Laser found in this game listed with an unknown manufacturer 'SCI.' Stats-wise it is similar to the extinct Terran Hegemony ER Large Laser in Classic BattleTech.<ref name=BTVG>''BattleTech'' (video game), Equipment</ref>
