Gunnery

A starship weapon console is a must-have for crews who want to defend themselves. A gunnery has a single starship weapon installed in it. A starship can have more than one gunnery.

Helmed Gunnery Benefits: You can Strike with the installed weapon (or use Area Fire or Auto-Fire for weapons with the area or automatic traits). These attacks gain the station trait.
