*The small Type I personal phaser is the smallest of the defensive arms carried by ship's crew when attending Away Team Missions. The diminutive size of the Type I phaser allows it to be easily concealed for occasions when it is inappropriate to visibly bear arms. Despite its size, the Type I phaser is capable of a full range of power settings from levels One through Eight The lowest three settings on the phaser are "stun" settings, relative to base-type humanoids. The latter five settings are capable of producing thermal and disruptive effects. As with other Starfleet-issue devices, a Type I phaser may be rendered inoperative by a ship's computers if within a certain proximity. *Source: Back of card
