As battles all take place in subspace (non-hyperspace), lasers are just about the fastest thing present. Active protection systems utilize lasers to strike down incoming attacks. However, lasers are no faster than incoming energetic beams and therefore cannot be used to stop them. They are also helpless against psionic attacks.
