I don't know about scientific accuracy as a whole (mostly I'm going to be making up a lot of technical mumbo jumbo) with regards to the lasers, they would be invisible in space but that is only one type of energy weapon. Other weapons that use different kinds of energy propelled in a beam could be visible even in space.

Also with regard to the Valis, my character's a  cyborg does that mean these energy creatures could possess him? One more thing, how long have the Valis been in contact with humans?

Cyborg as a whole entity? No. The mechanical parts of the Cyborg? Yes. They work on electronics, thus if you have a firearm or machinery which does not use any computerized or electrical system behind it, then they cannot control the electrical impulses as they "posses" it. So while perhaps they could tap into his cyberimplants, his brain is thus far out of the question due to the biochemical signals supplementing the electromechanical ones. Else they'd probably be called "Brainjackers" rather than "Stormwratihs"

Relatively recent I'd assume. Perhaps within a few decades.
