During the attack, La Forge states that "subspace weapons are unpredictable - that's why they were banned". In think Riker's statement was meant in the sense that the Son'a use isolytic weapons, isolytic weapons are a form of subspace weapon, and subspace weapons are banned.Mikey wrote:Actually, IIRC according to INS, isolytic subspace weapons were banned by the Khitomer Accord, not all subspace weapons. I could be wrong, though,
White Phosphorous - it produces thick clouds of smoke when it burns, making it a excellent obscurant. It also produces extremely nasty burns when bits of it land on skin - they're initially only superficial, but because fragments of the stuff invariably stick, it keeps burning, resulting in very deep burns. For the latter reason it's illegal to use it in built-up areas, and against troop concentrations. However, both because it makes an effective smoke screen, and because of its use as an anti-personnel weapon, a lot of armies still use it - most recently the Israelis in the Gaza strip.me,myself and I wrote:WP?
Yes, the zero-point description is from the DS9TM, and so is non-canon. As for their usefulness, they must be more effective than PTs in some way, otherwise there'd be no point in having them. The question is how they're more effective.Supposedly they utilize Zero-point energy in their payload. I think that's the DS9TM tho, in "real life"? Who really knows? I think they're supposed to have higher yields/better effects on shields, etc.
