	:The standard weapon for most warships, '''turrets''' represent several armored turrets arranged for wide coverage. ~~MOst~~ commonly this is set up for overlapping arcs of fire along the 'equator' of the ship.

Most commonly this is set up for overlapping arcs of fire along the 'equator' of the ship. In combat, ships will normally roll along their axis to bring these broadsides to bear. Overall turrets provide an effective balance of capabilities, being capable of engaging both small attack craft and warships.

	:Fitting large and powerful weapons normally only mounted on battleships, '''anti-ship turrets''' are specifically designed to inflict heavy damage through the powerful defenses of capital ships or fortifications. While effective in this role, they have reduced value against more agile but lightly-armored escort-weight ships and are ill-suited to providing more than a nominal amount of air defense.		:Fitting large and powerful weapons and normally only mounted on battleships, '''anti-ship turrets''' are specifically designed to inflict heavy damage through the powerful defenses of capital ships or fortifications.

	Lasers are the oldest battlefield energy weapons, having been in use in one form or another since the early 21st century. While useful in specific roles, compared to modern dust-derived particle guns they are clunky, cumbersome and ~~inefficient~~. They do, however, have exceedingly impressive range and require no 'exotic' technology to manufacture.
