		A photon torpedo (sometimes simply referred to as a photon) is a tactical projectile weapon commonly used by Starfleet starships and starbases in the 23rd and 24th centuries.
		A photon torpedo is a self-propelled missile that utilizes a warhead of matter and antimatter bound together in a magnetic bottle which produce a destructive explosion when combined.
		While technically antiquated by the invention of the quantum torpedo in 2368, photon torpedoes remain a crucial part of Starfleet's arsenal, at least until the fabrication process for quantum torpedoes is streamlined.

	Weapons of Star Trek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The working of photon torpedoes was not concretely determined until the movie series; in the original show they are treated as simply a more powerful energy weapon as compared to phasers or disruptors, rather than a missile-like projectile as later re-established.
		At maximum yield, a Mark VI photon torpedo (the standard Starfleet photon torpedo in the late 24th century) carries a 1.5 kilogram antimatter charge, for a theoretical maximum explosive yield of 18.5 isotons.
		Photon Torpedoes were introduced in the first season of TOS (mentioned in 'A Taste of Armageddon', used in 'Arena').

	Photon Torpedoes (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Photon Torpedo is a powerful, long range weapon which has been in use aboard Federation Starships for over one hundred and fifty years - early models differed from today's weapon only in the level of sophistication and the power of the warhead.
		The warhead of the photon torpedo comprises a maximum of 1.5 kilos of antimatter and 1.5 kilos of matter.
		The photon torpedo can be set to fly a ballistic trajectory, be steered by the launch vessel, can home in via its own guidance systems, or use a combination of these methods in a single flight.

		The photon torpedo can be set to fly a ballistic trajectory, be steered by the launch vessel or can home in via its own guidance systems.
		Recent advances in Federation weapons technology have allowed the standard photon torpedo to be upgraded with sophisticated targeting systems and sensor packages, giving them the ability to detect and, if required, target weakened shield areas in the heat of battle.

		The Quantum Torpedo was the first of the next generation of shipboard weapons.
		When fired from a Runabout, the torpedo incorporates a mini guidance system which will home in on the nearest enemy target, but this guidance system does not kick in unitil 3.7 seconds after it is launched in order to let it clear the vicinity of the Runabout.
		On a galaxy class vessel, the resulting explosion is roughly equivalent to 500 photon torpedoes.

		The photon torpedo room is where Saavik shed a very Vulcanly tear, Scotty played "Amazing Grace" to a crew that had evolved beyond religion, and the esteemed commander of Starfleet told Kirk and Scotty that the 40-year-old Enterprise was 20 years old.
		Once the torpedo is on the track, it moves forward along the track and into a chamber at the front of the room.
		Since Torpedo Bay 2 seems undamaged during Spock's funeral, one could argue that Torpedo Bay 2 managed to shift from being on the port side of the Enterprise when Kirk and crew boarded the ship, to the starboard side, where it avoided damage from Reliant's phasers, and was available for use during Spock's funeral.

	TrekWars - The Furry Conflict: Photon Torpedoes
		Photon Torpedoes, not to be confused with Proton Torpedoes, are variable-yield matter/anti-matter conversion weapons that have been in use in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants for well over two hundred years.
		The production and use of photon torpedoes in the local part of the milky way is almost universal, as nearly every known major spacefaring civilization uses them to one extent or another as heavy armament for their starships.
		Usually, the matter and anti-matter amounts in a photon torpedo are perfectly balanced, and are collided by the force of impact with a target, but this is not always the case.

		The Photon Torpedo was deployed in the early 23rd century, and the current model, the Type 6, carries 1.5 kilograms of antimatter and 1.5 kilograms of matter, which are contained in small packets inside a magnetic containment field.
		The photon torpedo casing is used as the basis of many scientific probes, primarily the warp capable ones.
		The quantum torpedo uses a traditional 1.5 kilogram matter/antimatter warhead like that of the Photon torpedo, however, it uses the energy released to initiate a zero point reaction, which draws an equivalent yield of 50 isotons from a twisted eleven dimensional space time membrane.

		Photon torpedoes are used as the final option when diplomacy and phaser exchanges have failed.
		Unlike phasers, photon torpedo firepower is less controllable and their use increases the chance of loss of life.
		The photon torpedo operation is automatically run from the Tactical station on the Main Bridge, but can be operated from the Battle Bridge or manually from the launcher room in an emergency.

		A photon torpedo is a weapon in the Star Trek universe designed to produce concussive damage from the energy released in a controlled matter/antimatter reaction.
		Later advances (such as quantum torpedos) have far reduced the prominence of photon torpedos, though their technology is far from being obsolete.
		Empty torpedo casings are sometimes used as coffins for Starfleet officers killed in the line of duty while serving on a starship.

	Tech Commentaries
		As a result, the plasma torpedo (often colloquially referred to as a photon torpedo for much the same reasons why disruptors are often mislabeled as phasers) was is in effect a missile version of the disruptor bolt, thus precluding the need for the sophisticated magnetic fields required for matter-antimatter warheads.
		During the acceptance trials of the variable-yield Mark-6 photon torpedo in 2268, it was determined that its photon warhead had a theoretical maximum explosive yield of 25 isomegatons in its standard-yield configuration.
		One significant benefit of ion and quantum torpedoes is that, to a limited extent, the means by which they boost a photon torpedo's explosive yield also permits the torpedo to be efficiently upscaled for use as a heavy weapon.

		A fiberglass strap was mounted across the fairing, with slots for two bolts (mounted to the suspension upright) to ride in and actually rotate the fairing.
		In an attempt to delay or eliminate stagnation behind the rear fairings, an additional fiberglass mockup of a fairing extension was added to the vehicle and tested for both flow pattern and overall drag reduction.
		The charger was built with an automated sun tracking system, which used a series of photodiodes placed at the base on both sides of a tall "shade wall".

		Torpedo casings have been seen on several occasions as two meters long, fl or grey in color, and demonstrate a distinct lack of glow.
		The photon torpedoes that are fired are capable of reaching the star's core, and Timicin reports that "their shields are holding".
		It is worth noting, however, that a torpedo fired from the Enterprise while in the nebula shows a very unusual 'sparkly' effect not seen elsewhere in the film, suggesting that perhaps the shields were unstable.
