A massive military budget ensures the protection of the Yassengoro Confederacy and the production of technology capable of destroying Borg vessels. Shield technology is similar to Federation regenerative shielding. However, scans have shown that shield frequencies are rotated faster than a humanoid can reprogram weapons. This suggests once again that designs for shielding are anti-Borg in nature. | A massive military budget ensures the protection of the Yassengoro Confederacy and the production of technology capable of destroying Borg vessels.

Weapon systems have been developed to exercise maximum damage to hull and minimal to shields. Weapons such as quantum torpedoes and phased weaponry in the form of phased turrets and torpedoes. | Weapon systems have been developed to exercise maximum damage to hull and minimal to shields. Weapons such as quantum torpedoes and phased weaponry in the form of phased turrets and torpedoes. However due to their highly unpredictable nature they seem to be used only in areas where the Borg are active. As a result the majority of their war ships use conventional weapon systems. | ||
It is rumoured that the Confederacy is attempting to develop cloaking technology. | The one recorded use of phased weapons was against the Cardassians and it allowed a Yassengoro cruiser to defeat a Cardassian heavy cruiser. However just after the heavy cruiser blew up a Cardassian destroyer easily finished off the Yassengoro vessel. An examination of the sensor data shows that a overload shorted out their shield capacitors and some of their weapon systems. | ||
This added to the fact that most of their war ships are capable of reaching warp factor 9.77778 has caused distress amongst the ships that have had to face them. | |||
It is rumoured that the Confederacy is attempting to develop cloaking technology. So far these experiments have been dismal failures. | |||
