The personal phaser is the primary sidearm of Starfleet personnel.
TypesTwo types of personal phasers are currently in use:
More powerful phaser rifles and other weapons are also available for special circumstances and missions when heavy hostile retaliation is expected. Current ModelsType 1 PhaserBecause of their small size, type 1 phasers are informally known as "cricket" phasers by Starfleet personnel. The current type 1 phaser model was introduced in 2373. Type 2 PhaserThe current Type 2 phaser model was introduced in 2379. This model in particular is informally referred to by personnel as a "dolphin" phaser because of its redesigned emitter compared to earlier models. Specifications
OperationsThe phaser energy is released through the application of the Rapid Nadion Effect (RNE). Rapid nadions are short-lived subatomic particles possessing special properties related to high-speed interactions within atomic nuclei. Among these properties is the ability to liberate and transfer strong nuclear forces within a particular class of super-conducting crystals known as fushigi-no-umi. The crystals were so named when it appeared to researchers at Starfleet's Tokyo R&D facility that the materials being developed represented a virtual "sea of wonder" before them.
