Changes: Particle beam

Revision as of 19:28, 13 February 2007

A particle beam, in general, was the stream of particles emitted from 22nd century particle cannons. However, by the 24th century, particle beams could serve and be generated by various means.

All instances of a "particle beam" being fired from a specific weapons system can be found at particle weapon.

In 2368, the USS Enterprise-D used a particle beam created by the deflector dish to divert an asteroid, that had a core composed of densely compressed nitrium and chrondite, from impacting into the atmosphere of Tessen III. When implemented, the particle beam produced a disruptive nuclear effect in the core, causing it to explode. A similar means was devised, only this time reconfigured with a nitrium rich beam to encourage several nitrium parasites to leave the hull of the ship and return to the Pelloris field. (TNG: "Cost of Living")

A particle beam can also be used as a scanner. The Hunters from the Gamma Quadrant had ships outfitted with particle beams in order to scan objects. A trio of Hunters used a particle beam to scan Deep Space 9 while hunting for a Tosk. (DS9: "Captive Pursuit")

In early 2370, a highly-energetic particle beam was created by reconfiguring the tractor beam emitters of the USS Enterprise-D, and fired into the surface of the sun where the ship was hiding from a rogue Borg ship. The beam produced a superfluid gas eruption that induced a solar flare that engulfed and destroyed the Borg ship. (TNG: "Descent, Part II")

Later that year, Ro Laren fired a low-intensity particle beam from her Maquis raider into the Hugora nebula where a Federation task force was hiding. The polarizing effect created by the particle beam made it possible for the ambushing task force to be revealed to Maquis, forcing their withdrawal. (TNG: "Preemptive Strike")

In 2373, the Maquis rigged a Cardassian freighter with a focused particle beam that punched through the gyro-shielding of the USS Malinche, causing the ship to lose helm control. (DS9: "For the Uniform")
