Weapons & Defenses

There are five basic weapon systems currently in production: laser cannons, omni-directional lasers, rockets, striker missiles, and torpedoes. Rockets and striker missiles can be fired from fixed mounts or omni-directional systems. Torpedoes are relatively new and utilize homing technology and should not be made available to civilians.

Computer programs are detailed in the COMPUTERS section, and are only listed here as some systems use a variation of the program.
