Ablative armor:
                Hull armor employed for the most recent Starfleet vessels such as the Defiant
                    class and the U.S.S. Prometheus. Ablative armor is an additional reactive plating
                    imposing a counterforce to incoming weapon fire.
                    The armor evaporates when hit with an energy weapon like a Phaser, taking some
                    of the energy from the weapon with it in space as it evaporates.

Cloaking device technology

                A cloaking device is an energy screen generator used to render an object
                    (typically, a space vehicle) invisible to the eye and to most sensor systems.
                    This is accomplished by gravitational lensing, the creation of a distorted image
                    of an object when it's light is focused by gravity. In the case of a cloaking
                    device, the light is focused so that the object's index of refraction (the phase
                    velocity of radiation in free space divided by the phase velocity of the same
                    radiation in a specified medium) matches its surroundings, making the object
                    transparent. Cloaking a ship requires precisely balancing the radiative
                    emissions from the warp drive nacelles, dissipating all electromagnetic
                    radiation, gravitational fields and other energy emissions emanating from the
                    ship, and distorting space in such a way that electromagnetic radiation and
                    energy emissions are directed around the ship through subspace at velocities
                    faster than light.


The nullifier cores dissipate all electromagnetic

                                         radiation and other energy emissions produced by
                                         the ship and it's crew. This is done by remodulating
                                         the energy signiture to have the appearence of
                                         background energy, as well as reducing the
                                         apparent output. The amount of energy required by
                                         the nullifier cores to mask a certain amount of
                                         energy is not directly proportional to the amount of
                                         energy to be masked.

A typical gravity generator on a Galaxy-Class starship, similar to the graviton
   polarity source generators in a cloaking generator coil.










                The cloaking generator coils are controlled by special purpose, or dedicated,
                    computers designed to perform this specific task. They are extremely fast
                    computers that contain a complex arrays of processors each designed to
                    perform a specific function. These computers must handle huge databases,
                    and perform complex mathematical operations in order to provide an accurate
                energy dispersal pattern. Input data is provided for the computers by a network
                    of refractometers placed on the hull of the ship. The more refractometers
                    placed on the hull of the ship, the more effective the energy dispersal pattern.
                    The only limiting factor is the speed of the computers, which must provide a
                    realtime energy dispersal pattern to effectively cloak the ship. These computer
                    are completely seperate from the computers that perform other ship functions,
                    because they are limited to the specific function built into them. These
                    computers are only required on fine tuned cloaking devices, Mk 3.2 and
                    higher.

                    In addition to the production of gravitational waves, cloaking devices have
                    several other significant disadvantages. The greatest disadvantage is the
                    tremendous amount of energy required to maintain all of the parts of the
                    cloaking device.

                    If a ship had the ability to generate enough energy to to maintain the cloaking
                    device as well as defensive shields, the nullifier cores could neither mask all of
                    the erergy required to accomplish this, nor the interference created by
                    defensive shields. In addition, the spatial distortions created by defensive
                    shields would mean that the shield itself would have to exist within the cloaking
                    field, and the larger the cloaking field is, the more energy is required to
                    generate it. These reasons completely eliminate the possibility of using
                    defensive shields.

                    When a starship's cloaking device is active, several ship's systems operate
                    under special protocols to minimize the interference of the cloaking device.
 
 

Mk 3.3 Cloak: This latest version allowed powering down of all non-finely tuned
                    cloaks instantly. It is only fitted, as far as is known, to Romulan Warbirds.
                    With special permission the I.K.S. To'wo'd was alowed to install the 3.3.
                    Being honored to be one of the first Klingon's Bird of Prey (K'vort class) to
                    have this technology.
