The Galor-class phaser bank was a ship-mounted phaser weapon employed by the Cardassians primarily on Galor-class warships. In 2370, the Cardassian Central Command secretly provided Galor-class phaser banks to their colonists in the Demilitarized Zone for use against the Maquis. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I") The name suggests these weapons were designed for Galor-class cruisers. The Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 294) incorrectly identifies this as a "Galor-class plasma bank", however, both the aired episode and script clearly state "phaser bank".
