Additional Information

Location Whole Ship
Description Phaser beam emitters

The standard phaser beam emitters aboard Defiant-class vessels served almost as a secondary supplement to the primary phaser cannon array. In all, the Defiant-class was equipped with at least three emitters: one forward and aft, as well as one behind the bridge on the dorsal surface.

The Defiant-class vessels' deflector arrays could also be refitted into a makeshift phaser emitter, providing one-shot capability in extreme emergency. The phaser emission was generated by the nose/deflector unit.

Torpedo Launchers

Defiant-class vessels had a total of six torpedo launchers, four forward and two aft. The four forward launchers were located on the hull just ahead of each of the warp nacelles in dorsal and ventral pairs. The two aft torpedo launchers were tucked in near the back end of the warp nacelles. These torpedo launchers allowed the ship to fire both quantum torpedoes and photon torpedoes.
