Object
Starfleet Security Phasers (Transporter Room)
Palm-sized Starfleet handheld phasers stationed in the transporter room: matte dark casings with ergonomic grips and small circular emitters that hum when charged. Individual units show scuffs, soot or blood from confrontations and are carried and aimed by security officers on the transporter pad and bridge; they discharge directed beams with variable settings (stun → kill). They appear during Roga Danar's violent materialization and are also wrested and used as improvised leverage points in close-quarters melees.

Purpose
Portable security weapons designed to stun, disable, or lethally neutralize threats by switching emitter settings between nonlethal and lethal force.
Significance
They function as the crew's immediate defensive response and an instrument of command authority; their attempted use against Danar exposes his abnormal resilience, escalates the crisis, and propels leadership to authorize lethal contingency, heightening moral and tactical stakes.
