Turbolasers deployed on Capital Ships can also be directed at planets, providing devastating strikes from orbit. Such barrages are incredibly destructive but inaccurate. Planetary bombardment is typically used when large swathes of ground must be reduced to cratered, rubble-strewn landscape.
Because of the inherent inaccuracy, a Turbolaser fired at a specific grid reference on a planetary surface is always considered to be at Long Range, therefore taking a -10 penalty to hit.
