| - In the prime universe, the Klingons also used a similar device in 2268. (TOS: "Day of the Dove" ) In 2370, Arctus Baran used neural servos, which were implanted in each member of his crew, as a means of maintaining obedience. (TNG: "Gambit, Part I" , "Gambit, Part II" ) In 2372, the mirror universe counterparts of Kira Nerys and Elim Garak were subjected to these devices by their captors to make them more obedient.

- In the mirror universe, an agonizer was a device developed and used by the Terran Empire's Imperial Starfleet to punish their members for relatively minor offenses. It was invented by Dr. Sarah April in the 23rd century, and its first human test subject was Captain Nathan Thorpe. Its initial tests against Klingons proved to be a failure. (TOS short story: "Ill Winds") More serious offenses, such as attempted mutiny or assassination, were punished with the agony booth, which had been invented in the 22nd century. (ENT episode: "In a Mirror, Darkly")
- The Agonizer is a poison based ranged weapon, which means its damage is mitigated by any skill, offhand or mod that can mitigate ranged damage. When it damages a enemy, a poison DoT debuff is aplied on the victim, this debuff can unstealth cloacked enemies as well as rendering certain enemies (NPCs only) unable to perform any action. Both the base damage and the DoT damage and duration can be augmented by expending skill points in the Poison Medic skill tree. Medic's healing guns can also remove the debuff. While scoped the agonizer does roughly 5-10% more damage

| - In the mirror universe, an agonizer was a device developed and used by the Terran Empire's Imperial Starfleet to punish their members for relatively minor offenses. It was invented by Dr. Sarah April in the 23rd century, and its first human test subject was Captain Nathan Thorpe. Its initial tests against Klingons proved to be a failure. (TOS short story: "Ill Winds") More serious offenses, such as attempted mutiny or assassination, were punished with the agony booth, which had been invented in the 22nd century. (ENT episode: "In a Mirror, Darkly") Agonizers were worn on a person's belt, and could be demanded by any superior officer at any time if they felt a subordinate had committed an infraction. When the agonizer was applied to the body it would cause intense pain which could bring a person to their knees. (TOS episode: "Mirror, Mirror") By the 24th century, agonizers were refined to the point that they no longer needed physical contact with their victims to be effective. (DS9 episode: "Shattered Mirror") In an alternate version of the mirror universe, agonizers were still used by the Terran Empire in the 24th century, and had been refined to the point that they were incorporated into the Starfleet insignia worn on a person's uniform. As Deanna Troi was head of ISS Enterprise-D security, a special agonizer was designed specifically to function with Geordi La Forge's VISOR. (TNG novel: Dark Mirror) In the primary universe, an agonizer-like weapon was standard issue to Klingon personnel in 2268. One was used by Kang's landing party to deter an outraged Pavel Chekov on Beta XII-A. (TOS episode: "Day of the Dove")

Both the base damage and the DoT damage and duration can be augmented by expending skill points in the Poison Medic skill tree. The DoT can not be mitigated neither by ranged, AoE nor melee protections, but can be cured by healing offhands like Medical Stations, Healing Waves, Healing Grenades, etc. Medic's healing guns can also remove the debuff. While scoped the agonizer does roughly 5-10% more damage Note that poison debuffs do not stack, meaning the current active debuff will remain even if the player is aflicted by a new one, negating the last debuff aplied will be negated, so think twice before using poison grenades or poison auras. A specific epic varient of the Agonizer is available for purchase at level 30 from Dome City's Medic Gear vendor for 6000 Tokens. Uncommon, rare, and other epic varients are occasionally awarded upon successful completion of PvE and PvP missions.
