During the final exodus from their homeworld in 2376, the Vaadwaur were centuries behind the more advanced races in the galaxy in terms of technology. However, [[MA:Kathryn Janeway|Kathryn Janeway]] theorized that due to their lust for conquest and their resourceful nature, the Vaadwaur would adapt to become a threat. This proved to be true when the [[MA:USS Voyager|U.S.S. Voyager]] became trapped in an anomaly known as [[MA:The void (anomaly)|the void]] only a few months later - a heavily modified Vaadwaur ship was picked up by the ship's sensors, implying that the crew had been able to capture a more advanced ship through superior tactics and cannibalize its technology.

The primary weapons of Vaadwaur ships are [[MA:Phase cannon|phase cannon]], which fire a distinctly purple-coloured energy pulse. Recent intelligence shows that the Vaadwaur have expanded their arsenal to include [[MA:Photon torpedo|photon torpedoes]], and more worryingly a weapon dubbed as [[phase torpedoes]]. These weapons phase in and out of normal space, rendering deflector shield technology useless as a coutermeasure against them. In addition, they create an [[MA:Electromagnetic pulse|electromagnetic pulse]] to drain power from a ship. In 2387, such weapons were used against [[Deep Space 17]], the [[USS Independence-A|U.S.S. Independence-A]] and the [[USS Challenger-A|U.S.S. Challenger-A]] to devastating effect.

Recent intelligence shows that the Vaadwaur have expanded their arsenal to include [[MA:Photon torpedo|photon torpedoes]], and more worryingly a weapon dubbed as [[phase torpedoes]]. These weapons phase in and out of normal space, rendering deflector shield technology virtually useless as a coutermeasure against them. In addition, they create an [[MA:Electromagnetic pulse|electromagnetic pulse]] to drain power from a ship. In 2387, such weapons were used against [[Deep Space 17]], the [[USS Independence-A|U.S.S.
