A force beam was a type of directed-energy weapon.
History and specifications[]
The doomsday machine's antiproton beam was once called a "force beam". (TOS episode: "The Doomsday Machine")
In the year 2265, Malok fired force beams from the planet Pollux II at the Federation starship USS Enterprise in an attempt to disable it. However, the Starfleet ship's force screen absorbed most of the impact. (TOS comic: "The Brain Shockers")
