Bolt Weapons
 The numbers indicate a "tech level" corresponding to the History section.
Blackstar Bolt 6 The Blackstar Bolt incites a fusion reaction in rotated deuterium-tritium.. The matter in the rD-T reaction will revert back to its Tangible state even as it is undergoing fusion. The result is a very complex high-energy reaction. It is delivered in a quanto-magnetic torpedo which anticipates impact with the target and initiates the reversion-fusion reaction at optimum range. 
Dispersion Ram or Bubblegun 4 A tiny bubble similar to that created by the skip warp drive is fired at the target. When the bubble makes contact, it causes a small portion of the enemy ship to attempt to warp away from the rest of the ship. While the bubble is unable to actually send portions of the enemy ship into warp, it does cause immense damage through molecular shearing forces.
Fusion Cannon 2 Essentially a magnetically contained fusion reaction that is hurled at the target. 
Griffiths gun 5  
Plasma tube or Bloomer 3 An improved version of the fusion cannon which delivers a higher energy reaction to the target. The tube is longer and generates much higher release velocities, as well as igniting the deuterium-tritium fuel source (the notable "blooming" effect of the bolt) at optimum range from the target.
Penetrator bolt 1 A relatively advanced weapon developed early in the Skald civilization. The penetrator bolt fires a small torpedo that uses a large electromagnetic shell to carry a payload of antimatter. An early weapon with a short range but devastating damage, the penetrator bolt would be supplanted by the pentrator beam with the advent of gravity control.
Protobolt or Iceball 4 A ball of Protofluid contained in a quantum field is fired at the enemy. On contact, the quantum field collapses and the Protofluid reverts to Tangible matter, absorbing massive amounts of heat from the target and causing the failure of various atomic bonds.
