The phaser is the standard Federation beam or pulse weapon system. Phaser is an acronym for PHASed Energy Rectification, a term which referred to the original process by which stored or supplied energy was converted to another form for release toward the end without any need for an intermediate energy transformation. Although this term is something of a holdover, it remains true in modern phaser systems.
