What UV Lasers unlocks
Everything in the game files that lists this technology as a prerequisite; “condition” marks objects that check for it in their conditions instead.
How to get UV Lasers
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 85) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 technologies of the same area.

}UV Lasers: questions
How do I get UV Lasers in Stellaris?
Research Blue Lasers first (2 technologies in the whole chain); then UV Lasers can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options.
What does UV Lasers do?
It gives +5% Army Damage. It unlocks Large UV Beam Projector (ship component), Large UV Laser (ship component), Medium UV Beam Projector (ship component), Medium UV Laser (ship component), Small UV Beam Projector (ship component), Small UV Laser (ship component) and 1 more. It leads to Stellar Cannon and X-Ray Lasers.
What is the ID of UV Lasers?
The technology's ID is tech_lasers_3. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_lasers_3 (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does UV Lasers cost?
2,000 physics research before modifiers. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
