 The Liberator armory contained a gun locker which could hold up to 35 energy based weapons, although only 8 are seen to be present in Cygnus Alpha. Each one consisted of a transparent head with ribbed
section, a handle, a belt accommodating a battery pack and holster, and a cable connecting the handle to the battery pack. The type of energy fired by these weapons was referred to as being "beam
radiation" by Avon in Pressure Point. To the right is a replica of the Liberator gun created by Kevin Davies.
 Scorpio provided the crew with a very different type of weapon.
Looking much like a conventional firearm this blaster had a long barrel, just in front of the handle and trigger was a rectangular
section for energy clips , and a sight was provided on the top of the gun. To the left is a replica created by Kevin Davies.
 The standard issue Federation weapon was a blaster type used mostly by troopers. With the dimensions of a light carbine it consisted
of a wide narrow barrel with a wide body containing the a handle and trigger. The stock was both detachable and extendable. This type of
weapon was also seen in the hands of the crew of the London and various rebels. On the right is a faithful reproduction of this weapon created by Kevin Davies.
 Federation officers had access to a more compact pistol type version of the standard issue blaster. This is a replica created by Kevin Davies.
 One of the more notable weapons was owned by Travis. A lazeron destroyer unit was built into his artificial left hand and was used on a
number of occasions, however, few of the people he killed died by this weapon
 Grenades were used on a number of occasions, almost invariably thrown. In Stardrive they were planted at marked positions and later
detonated by remote control. No grenade launcher was ever seen. Travis threw a strontium grenade in Pressure Point, and the nucleic burster mentioned in Power may also have been a grenade of some
sort.
