A phase cannon was a phase-modulated energy weapon, a type of particle weapon which served as a successor to plasma cannons and as a precursor to the phaser of the 23rd and 24th centuries. The prototypes of ship-mounted phase cannons were first introduced by the Earth Starfleet in the mid-22nd century, designed as the primary defense of NX class starships and serving as a supplement for the lacking spatial torpedoes of the time. The first NX class vessel to test and actively use phase cannons in battle was the NX-01 Enterprise.

- Phase Cannon is a new Vasari weapon introduced in Rebellion. It is mounted exclusively on their Titans, the Vorastra and the Kultorask; the former uses four forward-mounted heavy cannons while the latter has a single aft mount. The fact that all Vasari Titans are ten millenia old may suggest that this weapon is just as ancient, but is somehow limited to the otherwise updated Titan-class warships. There were no upgrades for it.
- The phase cannon was a protoss-designed turret.
- Due to the early launch of the Enterprise, several systems—most notably the starship weapon systems—had not yet been completed. (ENT episode: "Broken Bow") These weapon systems were completed in the field at a later date. (ENT episode: "Silent Enemy")
- Aboard an NX-class vessel, the assembly was located on F Deck and could be accessed through a hatch within the armory. Instead of drawing power from the EPS grid, as they were designed, armory officer Lieutenant Malcolm Reed tied the turret relays directly into the impulse engines to increase their yield by eighty percent. Inverters were installed to cut in at the first sign of an overload. (ENT: "Silent Enemy", "Horizon") These phase cannon assemblies were equipped with multiphasic emitters and could produce a beam with the maximum yield of 500 gigajoules. (ENT: "Silent Enemy") Later it was indicated that they could only emit 80 gigajoules.(ENT: "Cogenitor") The cannons could also be overloaded by many times their normal maximum output, though this could cause significant feedback damage.
