The Dominion Polaron Beam Array is a beam weapon that is found on Jem'Hadar Attack Ships. They were feared during the Dominion War because they were fast, maneuverable and packed weapon power far beyond that of other ships of their size.

This polaron beam array was salvaged from a Jem'Hadar ship. It emits a pulsed polaron beam capable of punching through even the most powerful of shields.

This weapon has a 2.5% chance to reduce all power levels of the target by -25, as well as a 2.5% chance to cause extra damage shields. They also have a +2% chance of causing a critical hit.

Acquisition

This item is obtained from “Boldly They Rode”, from the featured series The 2800.

Since this item is not unique, players can obtain it more than once via episode replay. Replaying this mission at higher levels will grant a level-appropriate Mark version of this weapon, up to and including Mk XI.

Modifiers

There are several factors that can affect weapon performance. These include modifier suffixes, weapon power, spent player skill points, consoles, and equipment set bonuses.

Notes

• Although this is a hybrid Polaron-Tetryon weapon, a [Console - Tactical - Tetryon Pulse Generator] will not affect it. This is likely due to the fact that this weapon does Polaron damage, and only includes the Tetryon proc, while a Tetryon Pulse Generator boosts the Tetryon energy type damage.
• This weapon was formerly known as Phased Polaron Beam Array, and was changed in the December 21st 2012 patch. Phased polaron weapons are now a separate hybrid weapon type introduced with the release of the Dominion Lock Box.
