Blaster cannons are older technology, precursors to modern laser and turbolaser weapons, and would be considered current in the time of the Old republic but generally archaic by the time of the New Jedi Order. The Autoblaster is the newest of the breed, designed for B-Wing and later starfighters, and was generally available only well after the Battle of Endor. These weapons are generally considered to be acceptable weapon mounts on civilian vessels.

Lasers	Damage	Max Range	Special	Market Price	Emplacement Points	Starship Class
Twin laser cannon	2d10x2	Short	Multfire	1,500	4	Starfighter
Point laser cannon	2d10x2	Short	-	1,000	3	Starfighter
Light laser cannon	3d10x2	Short	-	1,500	4	Starfighter
Laser cannon	4d10x2	Short	-	2,000	6	Starfighter
Heavy laser cannon	5d10x2	Short	-	3,000	8	Starfighter
Assault laser cannon	7d10x2	Short	-	10,000	10	Starfighter
Quad laser cannon	6d10x2	Short	Autofire	5,000	8	Transport
Escort quad laser cannon	4d10x2	Medium	Autofire	5,000	7	Transport
Longshot quad laser cannon	5d10x2	Long	Autofire	6,000	10	Transport
Lasers are the standard weapon of choice for most starship designs, and are by far the most commonly installed weapons found on starfighters and transports. Lasers are generally legal to mount on civilian vessels on with registration and/or special licenses. The Millenium Falcon mounts quad laser cannon with augmented power sources, increasing their overall yield.

TurboLasers	Damage	Max Range	Special	Market Price	Emplacement Points	Starship Class
Double turbolaser cannons	5d10x2	Long	Multfire	6,000	8	Transport
Heavy double turbolaser cannons	4d10x5	Long	Multifire	8,000	9	Capital Ship
Light turbo quadlasers	4d10x5	Long	Autofire	8,000	9	Capital
Turbo quadlasers	6d10x5	Long	Autofire	9,000	10	Capital
Turbolaser cannons	2d10x5	Long	-	4,000	6	Capital
Light turbolaser	4d10x5	Long	-	5,000	7	Capital
Medium turbolaser	5d10x5	Long	-	7,000	8	Capital
Turbolaser	7d10x5	Long	-	9,000	10	Capital
Heavy turbolaser	10d10x5	Long	-	60,000	12	Station
Turbolasers are more highly focused versions of lasers that diffuse less quickly and in turn generally posess longer ranges. Turbolasers are widely considered military-only weapons, with civilian ownership entirely outlawed.

Missile Weapons	Damage	Max Range	Market Price	Emplacement Points	Starship Class
Small concussion missile launcher (8 max)			2,500	3	Transport
Concussion missile launcher (16 max)			3,500	6	Transport
Concussion missile	8d10x2	Point Blank	500ea
Heavy concussion missile	9d10x2	Point Blank	750ea
Assault concussion missile tube (30 max)			6,000	15	Capital
Assault concussion missile	9d10x5	Medium	2,000ea
Energy torpedo launcher (6 max)			4,000	3	Starfighter
Energy torpedo	9d10x2	Point Blank	600ea
Small proton torpedo launcher (4 max)			2,000	3	Starfighter
Proton torpedo launcher (16 max)			2,500	4	Starfighter
Proton torpedo	9d10x2	Point Blank	800ea
Proton tracking beacon	N/A	Short	2,000ea
Heavy proton torpedo	10d10x2	Point Blank	2,000ea
Resolving attacks with missile weapons is differen than resolving energy weapon attacks, and generally depend more on the missiel quality than the skill of the person launching said missle. Missiles with marginal guidance systems cost 200 credits less than shown. Missiles with good guidance systems cost 200 credits more than shown. Missiles with amazing guidance systems cost 500 credits more than shown. Generally, these weapons allow much smaller ships to pack a bigger punch, albeit at greater cost and not for s sustained period of time. The expensive proton tracking beacon attaches itself to the target, allowing it to be tracked via Holonet nearly anywhere in the galaxy.

Ion Cannons	Damage	Max Range	Market Price	Emplacement Points	Starship Class
Light ion cannon	3d10x2	Short	2000	1	Starfighter
Ion cannon	5d10x2	Medium	4000	2	Transport
Heavy ion cannon	8d10x2	Long	8000	4	Capital
Ion weaponry stats per THo on msgboard 4/3/2006 Ion Cannons ionize the electronic systems of a target vessel, and until the ionization damage is repaired (DC check varies by the amount of ionization damage, see table 11-11 on page 217 of the Revised Core Rulebook) the vessel cannot move, fire weapons, or perform stunts. Generally, these are considered defensive weapons and can be legally installed on most vessels. NOTE: The SW d20 Revised Core Rulebook heavily modifed the rules on how these weapons operate; in general they are far more effective than before but must now also penetrate shields and DR before having affect. The pricing and other specs provided by Starships of the Galaxy are most likely innacurate at this point. The damage shown is taken from the descriptions in the revised Core Rulebook for the Y-Wing on page 228 and Imperial-1 Star Destroyer on page 232. Talk to Tim if you wish to consider the purchase of such a weapon.

Other Weapons	Damage	Max Range	Market Price	Emplacement Points	Starship Class
Tractor beam projector	Special	Short	8,000	5	Capital
Gravity well projector	Special	Special	50,000	100	Capital
Mass pulse generator tubes (4 max)			60,000	25	Capital
Mass pulse mine	Special	Point Blank	10,000
Tractor Beams are generally used to move and maneuver large objects such as heavy cargo, but can also be used to pin smaller ships. These aren't considered weapons per se by most governments, and ergo are generally legal to mount on any vessel. Gravity Well Projectors are massive devices of imperial design that generate gravity ripples into hyperspace. This prevents ships from entering hyperspace in the affected area, and also forces ships in hyperspace in that area to drop out of hyperspace. The imperial Interdictor-class Star Destroyer is designed specifically for this role, and carries 4 such projectors. Mass pulse generator tubes are Hapan weapons that hold and "fire" mass pulse mines to point blank range. Once fired, the mines generate hyperspace ripples for one minute before. The Hapans guard this technology vigorously and consider these to restricted to Hapan military vessels only.
