Object
USS Enterprise-C Weapon Systems
A shipboard offensive armament suite aboard the crippled USS Enterprise‑C: distributed phaser banks, torpedo launchers, fire‑control consoles and power‑routing relays accessed from the main bridge. Indicator lamps flicker between amber and red; tactical consoles show charge cycles and targeting reticles as officers key up emitters. Crew members physically manipulate console toggles and issue terse commands while the systems remain partially offline and in urgent need of restoration.

Purpose
To manage targeting, power distribution, and firing control for the Enterprise‑C's offensive armaments (phaser arrays and photon torpedoes), enabling the ship to raise shields and deliver defensive or offensive fire.
Significance
Restoring these systems becomes the hinge of sacrifice and command: Captain Garrett prioritizes their repair over her own recovery, and Castillo brings them to readiness to meet the Klingon threat. Their operational state dictates whether the ship can defend itself or must be committed to a sacrificial action that alters the timeline, tying the systems to duty, leadership, and tragic cost.
