An armory, also known as an arsenal or simply as a weapons room, was a location where weapons and ammunition were stored. This could be a room in a building, a section on a space station or outpost or a part of a vehicle like an airplane, spacecraft or aquatic vessel.

History and specifics

After weapons were banned from Caeminon, the remaining ones were stored in an old warehouse which was sealed up. Centuries later, Captain James T. Kirk and Rhuna used the weapons in the arsenal to fight the vegetable metalloids which were invading the city. (TOS comic: "Siege in Superspace")

By the 24th century, aboard Federation Starfleet starships and installations, armory facilities stored and maintained phasers and other hand-held energy weapons. (TNG episode: "11001001")

Dating back to the Earth Starfleet of the 22nd century, this was the purview of the armory officer. (Enterprise)

On Starfleet vessels in the 2350s decade, hand phasers were stored mounted in a charging unit in the weapons room.

Circa the year 2359, the charging unit in the weapons room of the USS Starbound was sabotaged, rendering phaser power cells defective. (TNG novel: Survivors)

An armory was located in the Obsidian Order's Grennokar facility. (DS9 novel: The Soul Key)
