The crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 used a phaser cannon[1] in an attempt to rescue Captain Christopher Pike from the Talosians in 2254. The cannon successfully destroyed the entrance to their underground facility, but the Talosians' telepathic abilities rendered the Enterprise crew unable to perceive the damage that had been done.[2]
Notes and References
- ↑ 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.
