Starfleet Captains' Phasers at Dytallix B
A pair of sleek, compact handheld energy weapons, these phasers are gripped firmly by Captain Walker Keel's companions during a tense identity verification with Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the red-lit mining tunnels of Dytallix B. Their polished Starfleet design contrasts sharply with the oppressive, shadowy surroundings, crackling subtly as they serve both as weapons and as tools to confirm Picard's identity. The phasers emit controlled stun settings, held deliberately with caution and suspicion, symbolizing both readiness for lethal defense and the fragile trust among captains confronting a hidden parasitic threat within Starfleet itself.
