Ship's main phaser banks are powered directly by the warp core's matter/antimatter reaction and fire intense beams of plasma energy, which can be modulated from a non-lethal stun setting to a vaporize setting by altering the particle cohesion of the target.

Deflector shields use an array of graviton emitters to generate a configurable subspace field that acts as a kinetic and energy barrier. Shield frequency must be continually adjusted to prevent phase-matching by enemy weapons. #StarTrek #StarTrekFacts #StarTrekHowItWorks #EnergyShield

To create a new substance, a replicator requires a blueprint from the ship's computer and raw material from a molecularly rearranged bulk supply. The technology, which is a form of advanced 3D printing, has a 99.9% success rate.

Genetically engineered augments from the Eugenics Wars used enhanced intellect and physical prowess to conquer over a quarter of the Earth, leading to strict laws against human genetic engineering. #StarTrek #StarTrekFacts #StarTrekHowItWorks #EugenicsWars #Lore

Starship forcefields, including deflector shields, use high-energy graviton and tachyon emissions to generate a powerful, shaped field of energy that deflects incoming physical objects and energy weapons fire by altering their localized inertia or path.

Ship-based photon torpedoes are armed with an antimatter warhead encased in a magnetic bottle and propelled at high velocity by a warp-sustaining field, ensuring the warhead's mass is converted entirely into destructive energy upon impact.

Impulse engines generate thrust by accelerating plasma within a fusion reactor and channeling it through vectored exhaust ports, allowing starships to achieve high sublight speeds and maneuver efficiently within a solar system.

Artificial gravity is created by gravity plating embedded in the decks of a starship. It uses a field generated from hypothesized subatomic particles called virtual gravitons.

Temporal shielding must be continuously modulated to prevent paradoxical causality loops, or the ship's entire timeline will be instantly erased. #StarTrek #StarTrekFacts #StarTrekHowItWorks #TimeTravel #TechnicalTrek
