The Laser Powertorch or LPT is designed to cut holes through the heavy metal hatches and hulls of enemy ships so troops can board. An LPT will cut a slash 1 meter long in a ship's hull in one turn. An LPT is powered by a special power backpack that holds 300 SEU. This backpack is so heavy it can only be used in a weightless environment. The torch uses 30 SEU per turn. When not cutting metal, an LPT can be used as a laser rifle which causes 20d10 damage with a successful hit. There is no variable power setting. The LPT costs 5,000 credits. The special powerpack costs 500 credits.
