The scan is coded in the form \###\ + where the units digit is the number of stars, the tens digit is the number + of starbases, and the hundreds digit is the number of Klingons. + + Example - 207 = 2 Klingons, No Starbases, & 7 stars. + +\pha\ Command = Phaser Control. + + Allows you to destroy the Klingon Battle Cruisers by zapping them with + suitably large units of energy to deplete their shield power.
