Phaser room

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

The phaser room, also known as phaser control, is a location on early Federation Starfleet vessels such as the Constitution-class USS Enterprise. As the name suggests, this room's purpose is to control the various functions of the ship's mounted phaser weapons, such as when they fire. Toxic phaser coolant is routed through this section.

The room can also be used in the event the primary phaser control circuits fail, as a backup to computer control. (TOS: "Balance of Terror")

[edit] Background

The phaser control room is a redress of the engineering set. The phaser panel was borrowed from the same set – it is the panel Kevin Riley sits at in both of his series appearances, and it is also the console Kirk used to disable Khan's planned destruction of the ship in "Space Seed". This panel was moved in season two, when an alcove and doorway replaced this spot.
