Technically, one might say that THE SHIP has no weapons as it is a long standing tradition for ship crews to be unarmed - Ship owners want their Captain to finish his mission and not be the subject of a mutiny.
This is why the ship owner has hired Guards to protect the ship - they are not part of the crew nor, really part of the ship, per se -— if you understand my subtle point.
I do hope with you that the guards have some kick-ass firepower!
