Antipositronic disruptor

An Anti-positronic disruptor was a type of weapon developed in an alternate timeline where Doctor Noonien Soong's development of Soong-type androids was accepted by the United Federation of Planets.

It was developed by the Romulan-Klingon Alliance and was particularly designed to work against androids. The weapon fired a blast that was capable of incapacitating a positronic brain leaving an android inactive. Repeated shots increased the time the android remained in such a state and it was described that the activity left in the positronic brain was the closest thing that resembled pain to an android mind.

Subcommander Taris of the Romulan Warbird Haakona used a number of hand held weapons to terrorise the android colony of Turing and threatened to use her warships weapon grade anti-positronic disruptor against them if they resisted.
