Plasma Beam Arrays are directed energy weapons available for all faction starships. They fire a series of average damage beams across a 250° arc.

Plasma energy beams are cyan in color. Plasma energy weapons are exclusively used by the Borg vessels, while Plasma projectiles are used by the Borg, Undine, Romulan and Reman.

Plasma weapons are not available to players before Mk IV.

In space combat, Plasma weapons have a 2.5% chance to apply a non-stacking plasma fire DoT.
