FASA Timeline
(FASA Roleplaying Game)


The crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 used hand phasers[1] during an attempt to rescue Captain Christopher Pike from the Talosians (FASA) in 2196. Phasers could be set to overload, causing an explosion.[2] 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.[3]

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.
