Specifiche tecniche delle armi

Type U Pulse Cannon:

It has long been recognized that the initial impact of a phaser strike on a shield system is the most damaging part of the firing sequence.  Many cultures have sought to increase weapon effectiveness against shields by developing pulse cannons - that is, weapons which fire large numbers of tightly packaged bursts rather than a continuous stream.  Early Federation vessels such as the Constitution class where equipped with such pulse cannon, but the weapon is not without its drawbacks; the hardware involved tends to be very difficult to manage precisely, resulting in much poorer control over the beam characteristics.  The Federation's starship design ethic has always stressed that full control must be maintained over all weapons at all times, in order to allow non lethal force to be used in starship combat situations; in addition, many scientific experiments use weapon systems to apply energy in controlled amounts to external phenomena in order to study reactions.  Given this, the Federation gradually moved away from pulse cannon.  The refit given to the Constitution class vessels removed the pulse firing feature from that class, equipping them with a 'rapid burst mode' which was something of a compromise between pulse and continuous phaser beams.  Further designs continued to de-emphasize the pulse firing feature, although all basic phaser hardware is capable of firing relatively short bursts and this has remained a feature of Federation combat tactics.

With the development of the USS Defiant, the pulse phaser cannon was finally reintroduced to Starfleet.  Defiant is a warship, pure and simple; her designers had no real interest in conducting experiments, and the attitude towards the level of lethality of her armament could perhaps best be summed up by the phrase 'take no prisoners!' Defiant's main armament comprises four heavy pulse cannon which fire very tightly confined bursts of phaser energy for maximum impact on shielding systems.  High overall energy delivered over a very short period combined with a high firing rate to produce a performance against modern shield systems which can best be described as devastating.

On her first active mission the Defiant faced a group of Dominion Attack Ships; these vessels had successfully withstood several minutes of fire, fighting with a Galaxy class starship, but Defiant's phaser cannon cut through their shields within moments.  Subsequent combat experience has shown the value of this weapons system, which has also been developed for use in other vessels.

Type J Phaser

Type VII Phaser

Type VII Fixed Focus bank

The type VII is usually fitted to Danube-class runabouts and equivalents. It is less powerful than type-IX, but more compact. When used against other warships, its effective distance is less than ten thousand kilometers. Maximum efficiency comes at closer than fifty kilometers.

Quantum Torpedoes

Photon Torpedoes:

The photon torpedo was the first designed to work at warp speed has been the weapon of choice for warp speed combat for over a centery. It's distructive force comes from a matter/antimatter reation upon impact with it's target.

Size:    2.1 x .76 x .45 m
Dry Mass:    186.7 kg
Range Limit:    15 km - 4 050 000 km (from starships at warp)
Warp Speed:    110% of warp factor of firing ship
Sublight Speed:   
up to a 75% higher velocity (maximum velocity = initial velocity + .75 × initial velocity/ c {or V_max = V_i + .75 V_i/c)
Warhead:    1.5 kg matter/antimatter (avg.)
Developed:    2262
Operational Since:    2264
Yield:    175 isotons

Tri Cobalt Torpedoes:

The tri cobalt device was the first torpedo weapon in starfleet. These weapons proved very effective against unshielded targets, but rather ineffective against shields. The torpedo also lacked the range Starfleet wanted, thus, they began developing the Photon torpedo. Once the Photon torpedo was in service, the tri cobalt torpedo was removed from Starfleet ships. A few were left aboard ships and used primarily as demolition weapons. Currently in it's 26th version, the tri cobalt is a very powerful weapon when used against unshielded targets. With a maximum yield of 22,000 TeraCochranes, the device is powerful enough to tear subspace (this can be done with a yield of 18,000 TeraCochanes or higher). However Starfleet doesn't consider these subspace weapons, which are banned by the second Khitomer Accords. With the resent conflicts with the Borg and Dominion, tri cobalt torpedoes have been re-add to Starship torpedo inventories, even though their arsenals are more impressive then ever with Photon and Quantum torpedoes standard on all ships, with some also carrying powerful and Hellfire and Transphasic torpedoes.

Range Limit:    10 km - 2 500 000 km (from starships at warp)
Warp Speed:    110% of warp factor of firing ship
Sublight Speed:    up to a 70% higher velocity (maximum velocity = initial velocity + .70 × initial velocity/ c {or V_max = V_i + .70 V_i/c}
Developed:    2174
Operational Since:    2180
Yield:    22,000 TeraCochrane (maximum for Mark XXVI)

Transphasic Torpedoes:

Let's look at the name, 'Trans' means between and 'Phasic' refers to being in phase with normal matter, thus it's clear this weapon is designed to phase between to enable it to pass though shielding and hull. This weapon is meant to be an anti-Borg weapon. It enlists the casing and basic internal systems of a Hellfire torpedo but it's warhead and phasing systems have undergone major changes. Current Hellfire torpedoes, developed three years ago, have the ability to 'skip' past a target's shields and impact against the hull causing much more damage then a torpedo hitting shields. The Transphasic Torpedo goes a step further. Improving on the Hellfire's phasing systems, improved in the 3 years since it was design, it not only phases to 'skip' past shielding, but also past the target's hull and detonating inside the target for maximum damage. However, to include new systems and a larger warhead, range has been limited, even over the Hellfire's short range. Also due to the weapon's highly volatile nature and intentions (used against extreme hostile forces, like the Borg), only a few are carried on ships, based on sizes.
