Klingon Disruptors and Bladed Weapons

The current frontline Klingon energy weapon is the disruptor, which doubles as a rifle unit. The rifle extension includes a shoulder stock, as in the Bajoran rifle. The physics behind the disruptor involves the creation of a particle stream in which the total energy field per particle is so high that it cannot be contained for more than a few milliseconds. The field rapidly unwinds, and the instability release the conatined energy, disrupting any matter the beam contacts. The main components include a long-term capaciyance power cell, forced-energy particle generator, triply redundant waveguide and accelerator stage, and beam emmitter. The rifle components add an extended-charge capacitance cell, augmented accelerator for higher energy particle production, and induction coil assembly, necessary both for recharging the unit and powering the accelerator. The total measureable charge in the pistol is 1.2x107 megajoules, and 6.5x107 megajoules for the rifle.

The principal Klingon bladed weapons include the bat'leth, mek'leth, and d'k tahg. A wide variety of other ceremonial knives and daggers fill the typical Klingon warrior's collection, but these three appear to chosen most often for combat outside the technological domain. The bat'leth, whose original design has long been attributed to the warrior Kahless the Unforgettable, is today a robust, multigripped main battle weapon constructed from baakonite, a metal similar in ductility and specific gravity to tritanium. The mek'leth, approximately half the length of the bat'leth, is equipped with one long and one short blade, and a single grip. Mek'leth fabrication is also from baakonite, though some units have been successfully made from dikeiferate, which has a density 1.8 times that of baakonite. As in most weapons designed for rapid, highly controlled maneuvers, a critical balance must be maintained between the ability to move that mass by the person wielding it. By far the most prevalent weapon to be carried by a warrior alongside the disruptor pistol is the d'k tahg. At least four variations of the three-bladed dagger have existed in the Klingon arsenal over the past century. Two type of d'k tahg have included articulated side blades and fit within a narrow sheath, and two have been constructed with fixed blades, housed within a somewhat wider sheath. Most are equipped with the familiar spiked grip end for downward or backward crushing movements. The present d'k tahg is typically fabricated from two alloys: urs'ga rach, a dark metallic compound that strengthens with age and is used to form the handle; and kar'kethet, a naturally malleable alloy that converts to a single inelastic metal crystal witht he appilication of 6,590?Celsius for seventy-two hours.
