Weapons:
Phaser type I : Starfleet handheld energy weapon in use since circa 2266. The Phaser Type I was commonly used when a show of force was not appropriate, such as in first contact and other off-ship missions involving diplomacy. Like other phasers, the Type I -- also referred to as a hand phaser -- can be adjusted to various settings such as stun, heat, disrupt and overload. Early in their use, the Type I of the 2260s through 2290s could be attached to a pistol grip for added range and stability for aiming. This combined unit is referred to as a Phaser Type II.
Phaser type 5: Medium-sized variety of phaser that can be mounted on small vehicles. Shuttlecraft can be equipped with phasers of this type, but most shuttles did not carry type-4 phasers as standard equipment.
Photon Torpedoes can be fired at warp speed. They are carried as standard on most Federation ships, and are often fitted to Space stations. Their range is 3,500,000 kilometres. It contains 'packets' of matter and antimatter, which are usually delivered at warp speed by a small matter/antimatter fuel cell, then thrust together to cause the explosion. The torpedo casing carried by a Galaxy ship is lozenge shaped, made from Gamma-expanded duranium and plasma-bonded tertanium. It measures 2.1 meters in length, seventy-six centimetres in width and forty-five centimetres in height. The cases can be used for things other than weapons with a few alterations. An improvement on the photon torpedo is the quantum torpedo.
