History based upon: Hobbyist's Guide to the UFP Starfleet , by Timo Saloniemi

In 2265, missions to draw raiders out were proposed and Q-pods were provided to the Pompeys: powered by the mothership, a set number of the doors on the container’s 11 false hangers would open to reveal a full-powered Type VI phaser bank, manned by the ship’s own crew at local stations. These opening barrages were often enough to surprise and scare away some raiders, but it also gave the convoy the opportunity to draw the mass of smaller vessels in closer, disable a few, and allow the Pompey to release the pod and sweep up the retreating ships. Dedicated turbolift stations enabled the pod crew to quickly return to the ship before disengagement.

The primary downside to the Q-pods was that the Pompey could only charge two of the available banks at the same time, while keeping the ship’s own phaser armament fully primed. However, a simple hierarchal algorithm allowed the ship’s helmsman to quickly assign routed power to another of the pod’s phaser stations between the raider passes, if necessary.
