Phaser Blast Explosion

An automated, advanced-energy rifle on Minos that uses a holographic disguise (appearing as Captain Paul Rice) and projects an immobilizing lucinium containment cube and concentrated phaser-like blasts. It functions as an automated defense/attack system that incapacitates and kills intruders (notably trapping Riker and causing Tasha Yar’s death), demonstrating self-directed, targeted energy weapon capabilities.
