On capital ships, energy weapons were normally grouped into batteries based upon the weapon type and its placement upon the hull. From 4000 BBY however, energy weapons were the dominant form of weaponry in space combat, dominated by the turbolaser and the laser cannon, outgrowths of blaster technology that had matured at the same time. Energy weapons began with microwave lasers for offense and were typically secondary to conventional, physical weapons.
There were two basic types of space weaponry: energy and conventional. While the sizes and capabilities of starships varied, four main technologies drove and were advanced by space warfare: weapon systems, shield technology, sublight propulsion, and hyperdrive technology. Technological innovation determined the design of warships and naval doctrine and the outcome of battles. Turbolasers were the primary form of capital ship armament for thousands of years.
