Can secondary weapons (cannons, torpedoes) fire out of a ship's rear or auxiliary arc?

The rulebook states this directly.

No. A secondary weapon attack needs the target inside the ship's normal front firing arc, so a rear or auxiliary arc (Firespray, Slave I) is for primary weapons only, and holding a target lock does not remove the arc requirement for missiles and torpedoes. Only a card that says otherwise changes this, such as the Ion Cannon Turret.
