The Hypernova Defence Laser was made by the Terachnoids for the purpose of destroying any asteroids that came close to the Nefarious Space Station. The Hypernova Defence Laser was constructed due to Nefarious' hatred of asteroids, likely due to his long stay on one. It and the entire Nefarious Space Station was destroyed during Nefarious's fight with Ratchet and Clank on the transport. Lawrence used it by the orders of Dr. Nefarious to try and destroy Ratchet.
