Object
Romulan Warbird Disruptor Banks
Hull-mounted directed-energy weapon systems, distinct from propulsion components, armed during the standoff with *Tin Man* but never fired; their activation serves as a tactical threat rather than a functional attack.

Purpose
Fire destructive energy beams to destroy or disable targets like the sentient planet Tin Man
Significance
Arming exposes Romulan intent to annihilate Tin Man, shatters diplomatic restraint, and provokes Tam's telepathic command that unleashes Tin Man's defense, obliterating the warbird and crippling the Enterprise
