Systems
Basic Defender-class vessels available since GY 2405 (Mk IIs) have been armed with crude fixed-position solid-state laser weaponry and two fusion missile launchers firing the outdated "Sidewinder" missiles, and have two turrets mounted on the sides of the vessel, each armed with a pair of 76mm-calibre railguns. Before GY 2405, the Defender-class Mk1s were armed with twin fixed 90mm-calibre autocannons with a high rate of fire, instead of energy weapons.
