The Andromeda fictional universe contains a large number of offensive and defensive weapons of varrying degree of power.
Ship weapons The television series Andromeda utilizes many types of weapons, ranging from energy weapons, projectiles to point singularity weapons. Most projectile weapons carry some sort of limited intelligence allowing them to be more effective in combat. High Guard war-ships are able to produce their own projectiles on board with raw materials. AP cannons The anti-proton cannons are energy based weapons which fire at just under the speed of light (99 PSL), the anti-protons that hit the mass destroy it on impact.• Point defense lasers Point defense lasers (PDLs) are tasked with neutralizing and suppressing incoming enemy ordinance (such as missiles, drones et cetera) and/or enemy fighters. On their own they can inflict a fair amount of damage on enemy ships.•• Smart missiles Smart missiles rely on ship sensors and their own onboard sensors to track their targets. Smart missiles can reach speeds of upto 90 PSL. They are designed to be fired in a range of 1 AU or less, however variants exist that can reach upto 3 AU. Once fired a smart missile can be "called home" or disarmed during flight.• Smart bullets Tiny bullets with sensors which they use to home in on their target. They are generally fired in swarms. Point singularity A point singularity projector fires mini-black holes at its target, the Magog generally use these weapons on their Swarm ships and the World ship. These weapons inflict heavy damage and can destroy a ship very quickly.•• Nova Bomb The Nova Bomb is a weapon with the power to destroy a solar system.•. Gauss gun The most common type of personal handgun is a gauss gun, which accelerates a smart bullet at supersonic speeds using electromagnetic forces. There are two types of this gun. 1.Hand gun sidearm: used by criminals, and recon mission people. 2.Rifle style: Used by ground troops, grounds, seen used by Tyr. On the Andromeda crew the type of gun is used by Beka, Tyr, and Harper. It commonly seen by everyone except the High Guard. Force Lance The Force Lance (or F-Lance) generally looks like a harmless metal rod approximately 1/3 of a meter in length which fires plasma shots, but can extended to almost 2 meters and be used as melee weapon. The Lance is keyed to its handlers DNA and can also be reprogrammed, a person will be electrically shocked when trying to use another's programmed Lance. It can also be used as a taser. The Force Lance can launch a number of self-guided tiny attack drones (called “effectors”) that both target opponents and intercept incoming bullets and missiles. It has a grappling hook function, placed in as a stationary position to be set on auto fire, & finally it can be used as a plasma grenade by setting it to over-load. | ||||||||
