This weapon was developed by the Romulans and was one of the best-kept secrets from Starfleet and was highly effective against Federation shields and technologies.
These weapons are extremely dangerous and unfortunately have also found their way on to the fl market and into the hands of terrorist cells, criminal consortiums and religious sects.

Previously called by its original creators "Terok Nor," this old Cardassian mining station orbiting the planet of Bajor was built in 2351 and abandoned 18 years later as the Cardassian occupation of Bajor came to a close and the Cardassian retreated from the system.
When the Bajoran wormhole was discovered nearby, linking the Bajoran system to the Gamma Quadrant, what had once been a backwater station became a bustling hub of commercial, scientific, and strategic significance, reflecting Bajor's new-found independence and strength within the Alpha Quadrant.
In 2372, the station upgraded its weapons and put them to use during an incursion with the Klingons, following the Klingons' removal from the Federation-Klingon alliance.

The cannon emits a particle beam of polarons, the antimatter counterpart of the muon.
Note, however, that the true existence of such a weapon within the Star Trek universe was not necessarily indicated by this; it is generally considered more likely that the blaster in Paris' story was a reference to 20th century fiction and not to an actual device.
In the 24th century, bladed weapons similar to the Ka-bar knife remain in weapons lockers aboard Starfleet vessels to serve as a last-ditch weapon should a phaser rifle or sidearm fail.

At the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, the torpedo containing Captain Spock's body was launched onto the Genesis planet's surface; presumably it still had some guidance and propulsion systems.
If, for instance, the asteroid that theoretically wiped out the dinosaurs was deflected or destroyed and dinosaurs continued to live, all of the timeline after that point would be erased and the only thing left of the previous timeline would be that of the temporally shielded facilities and vessels.

 Tech Commentaries - Directed Energy Weapons
Not all settings are available to all weapons of a given size - smaller scale weapons typically do not have the higher settings available to larger ones (in which case, the energy weapon is simply unable to fully utilize the power that it is theoretically capable of).
In Star Trek, "Type" is a logarithmic measurement of a weapon's size, used in much the same manner as a ballistic weapon is measured by its caliber.
As such, a weapon that could generate a visually spectacular destruction of a planet, yet do so with a low enough kinetic energy injection to leave a visibly dense debris field behind to serve as a reminder of the weapon's abilities, would be ideal for the intended mission of terror for the Death Star.

It can be used in combat as a melee weapon, but very akwardly (Sword -2 or worse), with a high risk of hurting oneself (on a roll of 1, if the roll is a failure, the character cuts himself).
These beam weapons were considered "obsolete" by the major powers over a century ago, but several less developed civilizations continue producing them.
Laser weapons are not used by any of the major powers (Federation, Klingons and Romulans).

 Star Wars vs Star Trek Essays: Star Wars vs Star Trek in Five Minutes
First, Star Wars vs Star Trek normally means "could the Empire kick the Federation's ass".
Generally speaking, the sheer scale of the Empire (millions of planets, able to build moon-sized Death Stars) is vastly greater than that of the Federation, so Trekkies try to take the sheer size and numerical advantage of the Empire out of the equation, and simplify matters into straight ship vs ship comparisons.
This approach has strengths and weaknesses; the visual look of each series is often more consistent than published material (particularly in the case of Star Trek, where the TM contradicts itself repeatedly and has several astonishingly bad science errors.

 Weapons of Star Trek
The Type II is a larger, more powerful weapon that featured a handle at an obtuse angle with the firing axis (the series' producers called it the 'Dustbuster', though the design revision for the beginning of the third season lost a lot of this look).
The Borg use lasers as a primary weapon, as lasers' lack of nuclear disruption force (a fictional type of energy which allows phasers and similar weapons to disintegrate their targets) makes them a more precise weapon for the slicing attacks preferred by the Borg collective.
Note, however, that the true existence of such a weapon within the Star Trek universe was not necessarily indicated by this; it is generally considered more likely that the blaster in Paris' story was a reference to 20th century fiction and not to an actual device.

 The Nitpickers Site: Movie Nitpick - Star Trek: First Contact - 1996Nitpickers.com - Movie Mistakes - Post and review ...
Star Trek takes some things a little far scientifically, but that would just be too much.
Because, as illustrated above, the issue of adaptation to solid weapons is so murky, I think the writers avoided having the Enterprise crew use the same type of solid weapon repeatedly against the Borg so that they wouldn't have to deal with the issue at all.
I assume that photon torpedoes in the "Next Generation" time are solid, as they were in "Star Trek VI" when physical torpedoes were loaded into torpedo bays and the crew was able to plant gas-detecting equipment inside one such torpedo so that it could find the cloaked Bird of Prey.

As for support weapons, the CM's automated 500rd sentry guns would be comparable to the autoblaster mounted on the bottom of the M Falcon in the Hoth hangar.
But the benefit of such larger laser weapons (as opposed to CM weaponry) is that they don't rely on ammunition magazines or shot clips, because they are fed power modulators coupled to the ship's generator (stuff from the tech manuals).
