Light meson and nuclear dampers with back ups do their part. As single battery of pulse laser turrets, selected for their enhanced damage causing abilities, a single battery of fusion guns and a single particle accelerator bay round out the offensive weapons array. Redundant computers, Nuclear Dampers and Meson Screens contribute to their vaunted durability and ability to absorb hits and keep fighting.
