Romulan Disruptors
Hull-mounted Romulan energy emitters: arrays of armored, ship-scale disruptor banks that unleash concentrated directed-energy pulses during combat. In the bridge confrontation they manifest as sudden weapon salvos from decloaked Romulan warbirds, triggering tactical alarms, forcing evasive orders, and provoking a struck tone from officers as shields and sensors register impacts and losses of tactical space.

Purpose
Shipboard directed-energy weapon system designed to engage and disable enemy vessels at range.
Significance
Serves as the immediate tactical threat that transforms political posturing into kinetic danger—Romulan disruptor fire precipitates the ambush, forces defensive choices (including Klingon intervention), and sharpens the emotional fallout for Jarok as his perceived test of loyalty yields real blood and strategic consequences.
