As the stationary equivalent to the Word's ''[[Naga (WarShip class)#Variants|Naga]]'' SDS control ships, the armament of the ''Drake'' was critical to its survival as unlike the ''Nagas'', the ''Drake'' could not move. As a result, the Word installed enough anti-aerospace fighter weaponry to drive off all but the most determined attacks. Each firing arc was equipped with two [[Extended Range Large Laser]]s, twin [[MML-9]] launchers upgraded to use [[Artemis IV]] fire control, and six [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s. For additional defense, the nose and aft arcs each carried a pair of [[anti-missile system]]s. The aft left and aft right quadrants and the nose arc also contained a [[Screen Launcher]] to obscure the ''Drake'''s position. Finally, to deter [[DropShip]] or [[Pocket WarShip]] assaults, the ''Drake'' carried a nose-mounted [[Swordfish]] sub-capital missile launcher. Despite all this native firepower, the ''Drake'' was most dangerous when coordinating the fire of other Caspar II units.
