A solid-state laser used to carry information on a tight beam, the Laser Communication system is a Light Speed system that is hard to jam and intercept. Because of this, Laser Communication is limited in range because of the speed of transfer.

Starship versions of the Laser Communication System are normally heavily encrypted even if the system itself is hard to intercept. It also has a much more powerful power source and lens system to give it much longer range, though it varies due to ship type.
