- "It's obvious to all of us that a superlaser of the sort we're postulating would dwarf any present ship of the line, even the largest of the dreadnoughts.

And that doesn't factor in the dissipaters, capacitors, or even the amplification crystal housing itself."
- ―Reeva Demesne
Dissipaters were components in superlaser weapons.[1]
