Weapons (p. 323; tables on p. 342) and Defenses (p. 324; tables on p. 343)
The basic Beowulf Free Trader comes without weapons or defenses installed; however, its 200 ton hull has two hardpoints (pp. 316-7) for future expansion.
It is worth noting that the process for installing weapons, sensors, and defenses is essentially the same. A somewhat longish discussion is needed to explain all of the ins and outs of these devices, but the most typical way to select these is to:
1. pick a weapon (or sensor, or defense)
2. pick an emplacement appropriate for the selected item
3. note the volume and total cost
