I was thinking about to use it for point defense against kinetic projectiles of large coilguns or missiles. Instead of trying to hit them with a laser (or with another kinetic projectile), try to hit it with a "stopper" beam. Some kind of active defense before it hits the shield/armor.
And one that is more acceptable in the post-Boskone-war era of Fenspace because it cannot kill things.
