Jem'Hadar Weapons

Starfleet engineers and weapons experts are continuing to study captured Jem'Hadar energy weapons. Pistol and rifle disruptors exist in the arsenal of these genetically engineered soldiers. Neither unit possesses configurable energy settings; only a killing discharge level is emitted from the weapons. The mechanism used by the Jem'Hadar appears to center on a pulsed polaron beam genertaor, though a surrounding burst of high-energy gaama EM may be a result of fluctuations in the delivered power from the energy cells. Power is generated by a tritium microfusion reaction along the discharge centerline, and the energy is channeled into a phased polaron source, which holds an accumulated charge, in similar fashion to the Starfleet phaser prefire chamber. The process is automatic; by manufacture, the pent-up polaron charge tunnels through the emitter, a precisely shaped parabola of solid arkenium. In certain instances, chemical enhancements can be added to the partical stream, including nerve agents, anti-coagulants, and osteosolvents. In the event that an energy shot does not immeadiately cause death, the chemical agents may weaken or kill the target. This classic tactic of diminishing an opponents forces by causing yhem to attend to their wounded appears to be well known to the Jem'Hadar. The total charge contained in the pistol is approximately 5.4x108 megajoules, and 1.54x109 megajoules in the rifle. Of particular importance, is the ongoing effort to protect Starfleet and Bajoran assets against attacks using energetic polaron beams, which have historically defeated defensive shield configurations.
