Phasers & Operations

    The current total phaser system maintained aboard Deep Space 9 consists of two main types, the standard linked type-10 emitter segments and a type-11 planetary defense emitter.

    The original Cardassian weapon monitoring rooms were converted in 2372 into large rotary phaser cannons and microtorpedo launchers.

    An upgrade involved the adaptation of the planetary phasers. The type-11 segments were designed to minimize atmospheric blooming of the beam in space, the antiblooming energizing sequence has been altered within the CPG and assists in keeping the beam focused.

Phaser operations

    Threats are targeted by subspace and light-speed sensors and tracked by defensive measures subsystems within the station computer cores.
