The Varon-T disruptor is a hand-held directed-energy weapon banned in the Federation due to its vicious nature: the disruptor literally tears the body apart from the inside out, resulting in a relatively slow and excruciating death. Only five were ever produced; four of them were owned by Zibalian trader Kivas Fajo and he slept with one of them under his pillow. Fajo used a Varon-T disruptor to kill Varria when she and Data attempted to escape his ship. (TNG episode: "The Most Toys")
