Used by Christopher Pettiet as the 12-year-old terrorist boy in the Star Trek: TNG season three episode #160 “The High Ground,” which aired the week of January 29, 1990. While delivering medical supplies to Rutia IV, a planet involved in a lengthy civil war, Dr. Crusher was taken hostage by Finn, the leader of the Ansata, a radical separatist organization. Although at first fearful for her life, Beverly soon learned that she has been kidnapped to provide expert medical care for terrorists dying from the effects of an interdimensional transporter. Although the nuclear-powered device allowed the rebels to move at high speeds and to escape detection by Rutian sensors, its result was fatal internal damage. The terrorists used these rifles throughout the episode. After Finn was killed a terrorist boy was holding this phaser rifle pointed at Alexana Devos, the leader of the Rutian police, with hate burning in his eyes. Dr. Crusher turned to the boy and implored him with her eyes to give her the gun – “No more killing.” He finally, slowly gave up the gun and the Rutian police took him away. The rifle is made of black resin and painted with silver, copper, and iridescent blue accents. It measures 15.5” x 5” x 3” x 1”.
