Holonovel--Page Two

The holosuite
Leiutenant Williams is in charge of training the new officers like you. She begins a simulation of the Imperial's bridge and tells you to take the tactical station. Her words are in blue.
The Imperial's tactical systems have been replaced by Starfleet's experimental Pulsar Tactical System, which was designed with the help of the Klingons after the Battle at Wolf 359 to be used against the Borg. The Pulsar Tactical System is very different from weapons systems aboard other starships, so it is important that you learn to operate the tactical panel.
You look at the simulation of the tactical console. It looks like this:


	Pulsar Tactical Systems

The circle on the very left is for targeting. You must tap this before you can fire any weapons. The green circle with a red cross is for remodulating weapons and shields. This button will make the weapons effective again for a short time, if the enemy has adapted to the weapons. The small blue circle with a blue bar polarizes the shields, which makes them more effective. However,many ships have polarized weapons, and there may be a way to make polarized shields obsolete using polarized weapons, although this way has not been discovered yet. Additionally, polarizing the shields uses a large amount of power. Therefore, you may need to de-polarize the shields sometimes. You may do so by tapping the small green circle with the blue bar. The shields section allows you to raise or drop the shields. The shields are used to protect the ship, but some things, like beaming (using the transporter), cannot be done when the shields are up. The rest of the buttons will cause weapons to fire when the buttons are tapped.

These are the weapons we have :

Type X phasers--the best type of phasers

Photon Torpedoes--these are powerful

Quantum Torpedoes--the newest and most powerful type of torpedo

Klingon Disruptor Cannon--This is an advanced type of Klingon Weapon. It was based on standard Klingon Disruptor Cannons and modified by Klingon and Federation scientists for maximum power.

Remember what I have taught you, Ensign!
After six hours of training, you return to your quarters. You report to the bridge the next day for duty.
