Torpedo Launching System

The ship's torpedo ordinance is regulated and deployed through this main system, a combination of several different sub-systems and compartments. Both launchers, forward-firing, have individual launching systems and separate ordinance magazines. Each sub-system can be accessed by the crew despite the fully automated process.

The Sovereign-class starship had several weaponry enhancements over previous starship classes, including quantum torpedoes as well as photon torpedoes, and numerous phaser banks and arrays.
