type 1 phaser (or hand phaser) was the original PHASed
Energy Rectification weapon developed by Starfleet
during the 23rd century. since then, type one phasers have
changed very little. Phasers, withier they be type one units, or
type three rifles, all work through the rapid nadion effect (RNE),
all use a Sarium krellide power cell, and fire through a
pre-fire chamber, that passes through the emitter crystal. This
crystal is made of the same material that reinforces the
pre-fire chamber, gulium arkenide. All phaser include a subspace
transceiver array (STA). rapid nadions, the heart of the
phasers compact power, are short lived, sub-atomic particles
that posses special properties related to high speed
interactions with-in atomic nuclei. One of these properties
involves the liberation of strong nuclear forces within
fushigi-no-umi - a class of super conducting crystals. To
summarize all that, RNE allows the conversion of stored energy
into tightly controlled beams for a variety of application (i.e.
killing annoying aliens threatening the federation) now after
all that, you may be thinking that i should have just called
this section 'introduction to phasers', but (A) i can't be
bothered to separate the relevant information and (B) I'm going
to add info next: the type one phaser is approximately 5x3 cm
and has roughly eight settings, from light stun to disruption
effects. Oh, and the earlier versions fitted neatly into the
original pistol phaser's top. |

|
| The
type two phaser has had various looks from it's humble
beginnings, logically evolving from the single unit pistol
phaser (also classed as type 2's) being developed around 2366.
It has sixteen settings, twice as many as the type 1 and during
the 2360's the type two was widely use on most federation ships.
Looking rather like a torch, the original type two has had
subtle face lifts over it's lifetime, and each new generation of
type 2's are becoming closer and closer to perfection. the type
2's being used around 2376 are more angular and are easier to
operate.

3 Phaser |

|
| Type
3's are more commonly known as phaser rifles, they come in two
varieties. the traditional beam phaser and the newer compression
rifle, that releases short busts of phaser fire. It uses the
normal Sarium krellide power cell
which is easily rechargable and, like all phasers use the rapid
nadion effect (RNE) and fire through a pre-fire chamber, that
passes through the emitter crystal. This crystal is made of the
same material that reinforces the pre-fire chamber, gulium
arkenide. All phaser include a subspace transceiver array (STA).

| Photon
torpedoes use a small quantity of matter and anti-matter, stored
within a magnetic container. they can be launched at warp speed.
Galaxy class vessels have a capability of firing a spread of ten
torpedoes at once from a single torpedo tube. Each torpedo can
be individually targeted, type one photon torpedoes were some of
the most primitive torpedoes, while advanced ships like the
U.s.s. Voyager were equipped with type 6 torpedoes. They were
originally developed around the 2200s. Photons can be modified
for probes |

Torpedoes |

|
| Quantum
torpedoes were developed by Starfleet around the late 2360's. they
employed a energetic local release of the zero point energy field.
This quantum effect was found to be more effective against
deflector shield and more damaging than normal photon torpedoes.
Quantum torpedoes utilize much the same casing as photons, meaning
that they can be adapted for probes, or even modified for a
deadlier effect. simply by adding 50 kg of trilithium resin to a
quantum torpedo, the improved weapon is capable of making a planet
uninhabitable for 50 years. Quantum torpedoes can be fitted with
cloaking devices. |

Phaser (formerly known as
type 2) |

|
| The
old type two phasers that originally incorporated a type one as
it's power source, developed into a single handheld unit with a
'ammo' clip supplying power. slowly these phaser developed into
having the trigger operated by the thumb and slowly evolved into
the existing type 2s. these phasers operate exactly the same way
type one's do, (for a more detailed explanation, see Phaser,
type 1)

| TR-116 |
Back

|
| The
TR-116 is one of Starfleet's most advanced and deadliest weapons,
despite using one of the most primitive forms of propulsion.
Phasers are usually very reliable, however, in such cases where
engergy dampening field are in operation, normal phasers are
useless. the prototype TR-116 rifle fires a projectile using a
simple chemical reaction to provide the energy to fire the bullet.
(Rather than a directed energy beam, using a localized power
source) Starfleet considers the prototype TR-116 a major security
problem the advanced tracking, aiming and delivery system could
lead to mass murders. If any person attempts to replicate a
TR-116, and alarm is set off at Starfleet intelligence. The TR-116
on it's own is a devastatingly powerful weapon, but when it is
combined with a micro-transporter, it's threat is tripled. using
the gun in this stealth mode, the headset can display a target
anywhere on a planet, then fire a projectile that beams to the
target without losing any power, a shocking eight-nine cm. This
micro-transporter has such a low power signature, it is impossible
to detect. The TR-116 was abandoned is favor of regenerative
phaser research. |
