Setting 1 - Light stun

Discharge energy index 15.75 for 0.25 seconds. This setting is calibrated for base humanoid physiology, and causes temporary central nervous system (CNS) impairment, and subjects remain unconscious for up to five minutes. Higher levels of reversible CNS damage results from repeated long exposures. The discharge energy index is related to RNE protonic charge levels. Standard median-density components structural material samples, are not permanently affected, although small vibrational warming will be detected. A standard composite sample consists of multiple layers of tritanium, duranium, cortenite, lignin, and lithium-silicon-carbon 372. A standardized damage index is derived for setting comparisons; each whole number represents the number of centimeters of material penetrated or molecularly damaged. The structural damage index for this setting is zero.

Setting 2 - Medium stun

Discharge energy index 45.30 for 0.75 seconds. This setting renders base-type humanoids unconscious for up to fifteen minutes, and resistant humanoids for up to five minutes. Long exposures produce low levels of irreversible CNS and epithelial damage. Structural materials are not affected, though higher levels of vibrational warming are evident. The structural damage index is zero.

Setting 3 - Heavy stun

Discharge energy index 160.65 for 1.025 seconds. Base humanoids will remain in a sleep-like state for approximately one hour, while resistant bio-forms is rendered unconscious for up to fifteen minutes. Single discharge raises 1 cc of liquid water by 100 °C. Structural samples experience significant levels of thermal radiation. The structural damage index is 1.

Setting 4 - Thermal Effects

Discharge energy index 515.75 for 1.5 seconds. Base humanoids experience extensive CNS damage and epidermal EM trauma, while structural materials exhibit visible thermal shock. Discharges of longer than five seconds produce deep heat storage effects within metal alloys. The structural damage index is 3.5.

Setting 5 - Thermal Effects

Discharge energy index 857.5 for 1.5 seconds. Humanoid tissue experiences severe burn effects, but due to water content in the body, deep layers will not char. Simple personnel force-fields are penetrated after five seconds exposure. Large Away Team Force Fields will not be affected. The structural damage index is 7.

Setting 6 - Disruption Effects

Discharge energy index 2,700 for 1.75 seconds. Organic tissues and structural materials exhibit comparable penetration and molecular damage effects as higher energies cause matter to dissociate rapidly. Familiar thermal effects begin decreasing at this level. The structural damage index is 15.

Setting 7 - Disruption Effects

Discharge energy index 4,900 for 1.75 seconds. Organic tissue damage causes immediate cessation of life processes, since disruption effects become widespread at this setting. The structural damage index is 50.

Setting 8 - Disruption Effects

Discharge energy index 15,000 for 1.75 seconds. Cascading disruption forces cause humanoid organisms to vaporize, as 50 % of affected matter transitions out of the continuum. The structural damage index is 120. All unprotected matter is affected and penetrated according to depth and time of exposure.

Setting 9 - Disruption Effects

Discharge energy index 65,000 for 1.5 seconds. The structural damage index is 300, and medium alloy or ceramic structural materials over 100 centimeters in thickness begin exhibiting energy rebound prior to vaporization.

Setting 10 - Disruption Effects

Discharge energy index 125,000 for 1.3 seconds. The structural damage index is 450, and heavy alloy structural materials absorb or rebound energy, with a 0.55 seconds delay before material vaporizes.

Setting 11 - Explosive / Disruption Effects

Discharge energy index 300,000 for 0.78 seconds. The structural damage index is 670, and ultra-dense alloy structural materials absorb and rebounds energy, with a 0.20 seconds delayed reaction before material vaporizes. Light geologic displacement occurs. Equal to or lesser than 10 m³ of rock or ore of 6.0 grams per cm³ is explosively uncoupled per discharge.

Setting 12 - Explosive / Disruption Effects

Discharge energy index 540,000 for 0.82 seconds. The structural damage index is 940, and ultra-dense alloy structural materials absorb and rebound energy, with a 0.1 second delayed reaction before material vaporizes. Medium geologic displacement occurs. Equal to or lesser than 50 m³ of rock or ore of 6.0 grams per cm³ is explosively uncoupled per discharge.

Setting 13 - Explosive / Disruption Effects>

Discharge energy index 720,000 for 0.82 seconds. The structural damage index is 1,100, and shielded matter exhibits minor vibrational heating effects. Medium geologic displacement occurs. Equal to or lesser than 90 m³ of rock or ore of 6.0 grams per cm³ is explosively uncoupled per discharge.

Setting 14 - Explosive / Disruption Effects

Discharge energy index 930,000 for 0.75 seconds. The structural damage index is 1,430, and shielded matter exhibits medium vibrational heating effects. Heavy geologic displacement occurs. Equal to or lesser than 160 m³ of rock or ore of 6.0 grams per cm³ is explosively uncoupled per discharge.

Setting 15 - Explosive / Disruption Effects

Discharge energy index 1,700,000 for 0.32 seconds. The structural damage index is 1,850, and shielded matter exhibits major vibrational heating effects. Heavy geologic displacement occurs. Equal to or lesser than 370 m³ of rock or ore of 6.0 grams per cm³ is explosively uncoupled per discharge.

Setting 16 - Explosive / Disruption Effects

Discharge energy index 1,550,000 for 0.28 seconds. The structural damage index is 2,450, and shielded matter exhibits light mechanical fracturing damage. Heavy geologic displacement occurs. Equal to or lesser than 650 m³ of rock or ore of 6.0 grams per cm³ is explosively uncoupled per discharge.
