I saw it posted here once but can’t find it. What was the actual technical model number and class, etc...?

Which one?

The original was an MK-1 Superlaser

Was the name of the second one different?

Cool thanks. We’re brainstorming for new project names. We go through themes for a while, then change themes. Almost all the machines I work on are laser based. Past project names or code names have included:
-silver
-cadmium
-tantalum
-tin

-Ghidora

-Rubicon
-Colorado
-Rio Grande

-Athos
-Porthos

-Redstone
-Gemstone
-Cornerstone
-Capstone

They never use my suggestions...
-Gallstone
-Kidneystone
-Tombstone
-Stonehenge (product logo would be the band Spinal Tap)
-FRED (F***ing Ridiculous Electronic Device)

The question came up during our last meeting about the name of the Death Star laser, so we all went digging.

Maybe we’ll try DS1-MK1.

Or just pick cool Star Wars names like “Tiberian” or something like that. Our current project is named after a character from a really old SNL skit.

Thanks.

Tony.

The Death Star was code name "Project Stardust" when it was being planned
