Technical

  • Any of various technologies used to prevent visual and sensor detection

Known implementations

Romulan

  • Graviton-, chroniton-, and tachyon-based manipulation via modified deflector fields of surrounding light, preventing detection (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident"; DS9: "Past Tense, Part I", "For the Cause", "By Inferno's Light")
    • Tuning of cloaking field to different frequencies impacts ability of enemy sensors to penetrate field (TNG Novel: The Battle of Betazed)
  • History
    • Early experiments on IRW Praetor Pontilus failed due to overtaxing of vessel's power systems (ENT Novel: The Good That Men Do)
    • Successful implementation not developed until late 2265, on IRW Bloodied Talon (VAN Novel: Summon the Thunder; TOS: "Balance of Terror")
      • Energy dissipation rate of prototype device allowed for short-range detection during motion of vessel (VAN Novel: Summon the Thunder; TOS: "Balance of Terror")
