Phaser Array arrangement

Five spot arrays on the saucer section, one for each 50° arc. These spot arrays are duplicated on the ventral side of the primary saucer. Two ventral offset spot arrays on the primary hull, below the mid Engineering hull Shuttlebay provide a wide arc (360° in most directions). A final two spot arrays are located on the nacelle pylons on the dorsal facing.

Phaser Turret Type

The fourteen arrays are all collimated emitters, ten are Type XIII, four are Type XIV, operating at a significantly higher frequency to aid with shield penetration. Each array fires a pulsed beam of phaser energy, discharging the phasers at speeds approaching .986c. The phaser array automatically rotates phaser frequency and attempts to lock onto the frequency and phase of a threat vehicle's shields for maximum shield penetration.

Phaser Array Output

Each phaser array takes its energy directly from the impulse drive and auxiliary fusion generators. Individually, each type array can discharge approximately 2.75 MW (megawatts).

Phaser Array Range

Maximum effective range is 300,000 kilometers.

Primary purpose

Assault

Secondary purpose

Defense/anti-spacecraft/anti-fighter
