Object
Possessed Crew's Hand Phasers
Standard-issue Starfleet handheld phasers wielded by Ux-Mal possessed crew members during the bridge seizure and Ten Forward standoff. O'Brien grabs Worf's weapon, then draws his own to stun Ensign Ro after she fires at him. Troi aims hers steadily at Worf to enforce control. Data paces restlessly, brandishing his while taunting the Klingon. The devices emit stun beams that injure five hostages and subdue security teams, their orange glow cutting through the chaos as entities dominate the ship.
