| rdfs:label | - Isomagnetic disintegrator
|
| rdfs:comment | - An isomagnetic disintegrator was a shoulder mounted directed energy weapon that was used by Starfleet by the 24th century. The technical specifications of these weapons were classified under Starfleet Security Directive 24168.9. However, what was known was that they made use of a portable magnetic charge inducer which fired a beam of isomagnetic energy that disrupted a targets electromagnetic field. The effects depended entirely on the setting being used as a low setting stunned a target by targeting their inner ear whilst a moderate setting cause a temporary imparement of the central nervous system and the highest setting turning a target into dust as well as static by changing its protonic charge. (Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual)
- In 2375, isomagnetic disintegrators were part of the armory of the Sovereign-class USS Enterprise-E. Captain Jean-Luc Picard took ten isomagnetic disintegrators on his mission to help the Ba'ku resist forced resettlement. Lieutenant Commander Worf used one of the disintegrators to great effect against a pursuing landing team sent by the Son'a. A single hit to a rock near the four soldiers caused a heavy stun effect to all of them and some minor shrapnel damage from the stone fragments of the exploded rock. (Star Trek: Insurrection)

A single hit to a rock near the four soldiers caused a heavy stun effect to all of them and some minor shrapnel damage from the stone fragments of the exploded rock. (Star Trek: Insurrection) The weapon used by Worf was not directly named in the film, but the script of Star Trek: Insurrection [1] and the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 378) identify it as one of the ten isomagnetic disintegrator mentioned by Worf earlier in the film. According to the Decipher Starfleet Operations Manual, the isomagnetic disintegrator features a portable magnetic charge inducer which fires the beam of isomagnetic energy to disrupt the targets electromagnetic field. When used against lifeforms, the effect can be set anywhere from stun, to a temporary impairment of the central nervous system, and all the way up to the highest setting that disintegrates the target to dust.
