Many civilizations have felt the need for warfare, and nothing in warfare is more paramount than tactical devices to serve some end in deciding an engagement in the favor of the user. They can take many forms from offensive weapons to simple radar jamming devices. Anything designed to provide an offensive edge in the immediate vicinity of an engagement would be considered a tactical military technology.

[size=4]Lasers[/size]
Lasers are defined as any weapon utilizing a focused beam of light energy of any wavelength, ranging from extremely low powered designator lasers to high powered lasers capable of slicing through starship battle plate. They are a popular, relatively low-tech option to civilizations desiring effective weapons in space as they can travel great distances in short periods of time and can transmit decent amounts of energy as well. They are wide-spread in application and continue to be of use in information applications far after their military practicality expires.

Hydrogen-Fluoride
Hydrogen-Fluoride lasers are a variant of laser powered by their namesake. Reactions between hydrogen and fluoride provide the energy needed to produce a beam of any sort useful for use. They operate in the infrared range with a wave length of about 2.8 microns. While they are very effective in a vacuum environment, they rapidly dissipate in an atmosphere of any sort and so the slight variant utilizing deuterium rather than protium is more commonly used as the wavelength is increased by approximately 1 micron, stabilizing it in an atmosphere.
