Anti-laser chaff

Anti-laser chaff is made up of thin pieces of aluminum generally fired in a wall between opposing ships. AL Chaff helps to dissipate and weaken incoming laser fire, but due to drift it is only useful for so long.

It also dissipates laser fire from the ship that launched the chaff as well, so if a ship uses laser-based weaponry, they rarely deploy AL Chaff, as it would greatly reduce the effectiveness of their weaponry.

Anti-laser chaff is primarily used by human ships, as human energy screen technology is relatively primitive.
