Changes: Phased polaron beam

Revision as of 05:03, 13 July 2005

The phased polaron beam is a type of directed-energy weapon used in Dominion warships and sidearms.

When phased polaron weapons were first encountered by Starfleet in late 2370, they were able to penetrate standard deflector shields with ease. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar") Later on in The Battle of the Omarion Nebula, the Defaint's sheilds seemed to be modifed to repel the Jem'Hadar fire. (DS9: "The Die is Cast" Also, while on a diplomatic mission to make a trade agreement between the Karma and the Ferangi the Defaint was atacked, and again repeled enemy fire. (DS9: "Starship Down" The Dominion never became aware of the sheild modification until The Second Battle of Deep Space Nine where Dominon officers were surprised to see Deep space Nine's shields holding.(DS9: "Call to Arms").

Jem'Hadar polaron rifles include an anticoagulant in the energy stream. This prevents any non-fatal rifle wounds from healing, forcing the enemy to devote resources into caring for them. (DS9: "The Ship", "Change of Heart") These weapons were replaced by plasma rifles in late 2375. (DS9: "Tacking Into the Wind")
