[b]20mm Vulcans:[/b] Standard vulcan cannons mounted on the fighter's "nose".
[b]High-Power Laser Turret:[/b] Knights have a single high powered laser cannon mounted on an underside turret, similar to the cannon found on the VFF-41 Mave "Yukikaze". Signifigantly more powerful then the small cannons on other units, it produces a thin beam that can be swept around the area in front of the Knight, heavily damaging anything that gets hit.

[b]Technical and Historical Notes[/b]

The Knight Remote Weapon project was a competing project to the VFX-00 Mave. While the Mave project was designed to replace pilots with intelligent AI systems, controlled from a home station, Knights were designed to supplement pilots in combat, allowing them to attack more targets, from more angles then before.
