Laser Cannons and turbolasers are based on the same principle as handheld blasters. The largest such weapons are powerful enough to crack a planet's core.

Again though, it's saying the largest so clearly it's referring to a superweapon because having such a weapon on a ship doesn't make much sense and would make the superweapon pointless.
Depends, what Canon are you wanting?
Disney Canon I haven't much a clue, I'm just kinda being surface level with that.
Legends Canon? Blaster Cannons are essentially heavy artillery weapons which can be devastating to troops and structures. Portable blaster cannons are pretty much akin to real-world bazookas and the largest of these are fitted on atmospheric vehicles.
Portable blaster cannons(about the size of real-world bazookas) fire powerful bolts of energy. Often used as an antivehicle weapon, the blaster cannon has the range and power to inflict devastation on troops and structures alike.
- Revised Core Rulebook
Blaster Cannon- Also known as 'flash cannon' the blaster cannon is a limited ranged heavy artillery weapon. Though not as powerful as the laser cannon.
- Taken from New Essential Guide to Vehicles & Vessels
Laser cannons are confirmed superior to the Blaster Cannon.
Don't got much time to really get into the finer details if you're wanting Legends.
I mean I guess Disney would follow the same principle, so you could probably go for both being like that.
Feat wise though, for Legends I don't got time right now.
