The people of Eminiar VII employed sonic disruptor weapons based on projecting high intensity sound vibrations. ( VOY: ' Endgame') The high-energy disruptor weaponry used by Cardassian warships in 2367 had an estimated coherent output of 700 MW and a 340 kHz rapid nadion effect. ( DS9: ' Return to Grace') Cardassian rifles did not normally emit nadion pulses, but could be modified to do so. ( TNG: ' Conundrum') This was an extremely weak ship-mounted weapon system, as even the Cardassian phase-disruptor rifles, also known as phase disruptors, had an output rating of 4.7 megajoules. Lysian destroyer starships were armed with a disruptor weapon system that had a capacity of 2.1 megajoules.
In the experience of Delta Quadrant weapons dealer Kovin, most hand-held disruptors were thoron-based. For the political group, please see disrupter.ĭisruptor was the designation of several types of weapons in common use among many races in the galaxy including the Borg, Breen, Cardassians, Cravic, Dominion, Eminians, Federation, Ferengi, Gorn, Hirogen, Klingons, Lokirrim, Lysians, Pralor, Remans, Rigelians, Romulans, Son'a, and Vidiians.
