Object
Federation Phaser (Referenced)
A compact, palm‑sized Federation energy sidearm evoked as a possible countermeasure. Characters describe it as a handheld directed‑energy weapon with variable settings (stun to lethal). In the office it exists only as a proposed resource — a looming, ethically charged possibility rather than a tangible prop.

Purpose
Handheld directed‑energy weapon for self‑defense and tactical incapacitation (variable settings from stun to lethal).
Significance
Acts as a narrative lever and moral test: Alexana's invocation of Federation weaponry crystallizes the conflict between intervention and principle, pressures Picard's ethical stance, and raises political and operational stakes without actual deployment.
