Weapons:

NW-13 Ion Cannon
Power Requirements: 18,000,000 Joules
Range: 30 Light-Seconds
Notes: Overloads electrical systems and jamms sensors.

LW-27 Laser Cannon
Power Requirements: 1,495,000,000 Joules
Range: 45 Light-Seconds
Notes: None

H/LW-6 Hyperlight Missile
Power Requirements: N/A
Range: 180 Light-Seconds
Max Speed: 4C
Notes: Has a micro-hyperdrive and special sensors that allow it to 'see' outside of hyperspace, drop out barely meters from the intended target, and detonate. The hyperdrive is overcharged for it's size, and burns out in just over four and a half seconds of light-speed, limiting it's range.

LW-3 KEW Missiles
Power Requirements: N/A
Range: Infinate (Limited to sensor range on launching craft)
Max Speed: 0.5C
Notes: Though it is slower than light and easy to pick off, the KEW, or Kinetic Energy Weapon, Missile is used widely throughout the Fleet. The missile, once it gets close enough, splits open and releases billions of ball bearings, which slam into the oncoming enemy ship at at least half the speed of light. The balls are so numerous that no known Point Defense System has been able to take them all out, especially if the missile is a KEW-2, which has a small explosive charge that sends the bearings flying outwards in a cone rather than in a bunch.

PD-33 Point Defense System
Power Requirements: Varies
Range: 2 Light-Minutes
Notes: The Point Defense System contains gatling-guns, anti-missile missiles, anti-fighter missiles, and defense lasers. These are all short ranged and are able to pick off most incoming solid rounds and are somewhat efficent with picking off fighters.

Fighter Munitions:
Standard missiles; see above

AFM-16 Anti-Fighter Missile
Range: <1 Light Second
Warhead: Anti-matter
Tracking: Highly Sophisiticated
Speed: .85 Lightspeed
Notes: Specificly designed to take out fighters in groups, the missile has a powerful warhead capable of taking out many fighters in one blow. It also has the most sophisitcated tracking system, making it very adept at taking the most enemy out in one blow. These points have also made the missile a very good ship-killer missile from fighters, and has replaced the original shipkiller missile in that role, but it's designation has remained unchanged.

FC-2 Fighter Chaingun
Range: Extremely Close
Warhead: Self
Tracking: Ballistic
Speed: 0.99 Lightspeed
Notes: An ultra-high velocity rapid fire weapon capable of firing small slugs of almost any material to a fraction of light speed that is so close to lightspeed most people would consider it such. The round needs no explosive - the kinetic energy built up creates a small nuclear detonation upon impact, the sheer force of the shell ripping it's atoms apart.
