Armoury
This is where all the weapons are kept onboard the ship. It has racks and racks of extremely dangerous weapons used mostly by the Security Department.
The Armoury is locked at most times and can only be accessed with special authority. This is to prevent invading aliens (or random crazies) from gaining access and using the weaponry to take over the entire ship, even though this clearly hasn't been stopping anyone so far.
Weapons
Here are just a few of the weapons stored aboard the Blue Dwarf:
A high-power mining laser, which is very rarely used for mining. Most vessels stock a mixture of Mk.I Bazookoids, (which have a rather long and unwieldy barrel, coupled with a large red dismantler button which should never on any account be used) ... More...

"Efof You wanker? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"That's my name!" Efof said offended. Then gasped. "That's racist!"
"Okay okay! Just fill out the rest of the form then."
Efof continued. It said 'Address'.
"Hey Python where do I live?"
"Erm… I don't know! Which quarters are you in?"
"Ah...er...well it depends, I have no quarters as such, there was an empty one on Z-Deck that I moved into, but I'm not quite sure if I'm allowed. Its because I'm an alien, I couldn't provide a guarantor. I think I might still be classed as an intruder, they charge me emergency tax on wages."
"Just put Seymour's quarters or something." Said Python.
"No no no!" Said Eric. "Do it right, or you're not getting any guns!"
