The crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 used phasers[1] during an attempt to rescue Captain Christopher Pike from the Talosians in 2254.[2] Phasers had many uses beyond simply being weapons. On Stardate 1512.1, during a tense First Contact with the First Federation, Yeoman Janice Rand used a hand phaser to heat a pot of coffee.[3] Not long after, on Stardate 1672.1, Lieutenant Sulu used a phaser to heat rocks in order to provide warmth in the subzero temperatures of planet Alfa 177.[4]

Notes and References

  1. Although the script and dialogue for "The Cage" referred to the energy weapons as "lasers," this was changed retroactively to "phasers" when the series went into production, as the properties of lasers were already a known quantity in the real world, and the writers and production team did not want to restrict future stories. The design of the "lasers" from The Cage was echoed in Star Trek: Discovery, where the weapons were referred to as phasers, reinforcing this retcon.
