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")
