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
A simplified schematic of
a cloaking generator coil.
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.
