The II-D was intended as supplementary side arm for Marine 
usage that would be capable of operating as a main 
weapon for troopers without a rifle, as well as a 
less obtrusive weapon.<br><br>

Design goals stated it should be able to duplicate 
the firing rate of the Jem'hadar weapons and allow 
area saturation fire against hard to locate targets 
without loss of stopping power. The design should 
be easily maintained and modular in design to allow 
fast repair on the field with spare modules.<br>

<b>STATISTICAL INFORMATION:</b><br>
1. <i>Width:</i> 6.5 cm ~2_ inch <br>
2. <i>Height:</i> 13.8 cm ~5_ inch <br>

3. <i>Length</i>: 30.5 cm ~12 inch <br>
4. <i>Weight:</i> 1134 grams 30 oz.<br>
Total energy reserve: 9.75x10^8 megajoules in hotswap 
sarium-krellide packs.<br>
<br>
<i>Power settings: </i>1-16 operatable by press buttons 
on the control panel. (Setting visible on the handle 
as a numbered and colored light). <br>

<b><br>
FIRING MODES:</b><br>
Changed with the control button on the control panel<br>
</font>
<ul><li><i><font size="4">Single</font></i><font size="4"> - As in any other phaser weapon, one 
shot per pull of the trigger.</font></li>

<li><i><font size="4">Sustained</font></i><font size="4"> - A sustained beam or stream, useful 
for cutting through obstacles down or wearing down 
force fields or the target's resistance. Activated 
by holding the trigger down after firing.</font></li>
<li><i><font size="4">Burst - </font> </i>
								<font size="4">Capable of firing up to five 'pulses' 
of energy within a second. Burstfire coils store energy 
in a similar way of the phaser cannon charging all 
the coils with the energy for the imminent firing. 
The coils cannot hold the energy for long, and the 
energy is let to 'radiate' out of the coils to avoid 
overload.<br>
This reduces the life span of the energy pack by some 
25%-35% and causes the coils to glow visible light 
and warmth and emit hums ranging from 20-40 Decibels 
limiting its use for mainly battlefield conditions. 
There is a delay of a 0.1 seconds between pulses allowing 
the user to 'walk the fire' between targets or 'hose' 
moving targets.</font></li>
<li>

<i><font size="4">Randomization </font> </i>
								<font size="4">- The II-D comes with integral 
frequency variation circuitry.</font></li></ul>

<br>
<b>TARGETING - SCOPE WITH 'RED-DOT' OPTION:</b><br>
The II-D provides for precision fire with an imaging 
scope and a projected low powered laser beam for rapid 
short, range target acquisition.<br>

Targeting information can also be displayed on the 
Pallas Helmet. The user has the choice of setting 
rate of fire and power setting either manually, or 
through the helmet.<br>
<b><br>
MAINTENANCE:</b><br>
The weapon's frame is cast into its shape and is thus 
nearly invulnerable to any bending or damage without 
using power tools. The weapon cannot be dismantled 
without first removing the power pack to eliminate 
any accidents. <br>
The emitter crystal is 'grown' into the frame to eliminate 
any possible misalignment due to rough treatment and 
the circuitry is located around the frame allowing 
the frame to be removed by opening the front of the 
weapon and just pulling it out for maintenance.<br>
Other circuitry frames are located in two casings 
on both sides of the frame to facilitate fast repair 
and easy access.<br>

<br>
<b>NOTES:</b><br>
All Marines are to wear their II-D at all times when 
on duty and not in the field, and whenever possible 
off duty, except in situations where a sidearm would 
be inappropriate.<br>
The II-B is available both to and through TAC/SC for 
rapid fire support of Tactical operations, at the 
authorizatiuon of the TAC/SC for the station or ship.</font></p>
