More commonly known as the Armory, this is where the ships small hand held weapons are located for safe keeping during missions. As one can imagine the room is well guarded all day, every day. Only people with certified clearance may enter the ship's armory and detailed logs are kept of everyone who enters. Phasers are the primary type of hand held weapon of the Federation, comming in to use after rendering the lasers obsolete in 2255. Phaser is an acronym for PHASed Energy Rectification.

The smallest phaser Starfleet has widely distributed is called the Type 1. It fits neatly into a pocket sewn into the inside of the waistband of the Standard Starfleet duty uniform. Because of it's small size, most personnel always have a Type 1 on them when on duty. The phaser is roughly he size of a deck of cards.

The most common Starfleet weapon is the Type 2 Hand held Phaser.These phasers are widely imployed and can fire up to to setting 16. It is standard issue to all Starfleet Security Officers while on duty, it is also at the discretion of the Captain that on peticuliar missions, this be standard issue to the whole crew. A ship will usually posses many Type 2 Phasers in their Armory, to be able to fit the whole crew with one in an emergency. The Type 2 can be fitted into a holtster, clipped onto a belt around the waist.
