As such, the sub-department of '''Research & Development''' was created to allow those with the relevant work experience and training to be available at any time they are required to perform miracles and produce technology not formally acquainted with the Federation and Starfleet. | As such, the sub-department of '''Research & Development''' was created to allow those with the relevant work experience and training to be available at any time they are required to perform miracles and produce technology not formally acquainted with the Federation and Starfleet. | ||
Current projects for the Research team include increases to the Abaltive Armor and increased weapon efficiency when faced with a warp core breach. Other non-committed projects include a functioning Emergency Engineering Hologram (EEH) and the Emergency Command Hologram (ECH). | |||
==Multi-Layered Shielding System (MLSS)== | |||
The '''Multi-Layered Shielding System (MLSS)''' was modified in 2376 in order to increase effectiveness against both high-energy tractor beams and phased polaron particles, measures clearly aimed at the Borg and Dominion respectively. Under normal operation the shield modulation frequencies are under the control of the ships computer system, which continually evaluates incoming weapons fire and automatically re-modulates the shields to give the most effective possible defense. It is thought that this system, in conjunction with transport inhibitor technology, will also enable the shield system to prevent beam-through by Borg and Dominion transporter technology. | The '''Multi-Layered Shielding System (MLSS)''' was modified in 2376 in order to increase effectiveness against both high-energy tractor beams and phased polaron particles, measures clearly aimed at the Borg and Dominion respectively.

===Layer Three=== | |||
[[Image:LayerThree.PNG|left|150px]] The outermost layer manipulates graviton polarity in a way not typical to shields, creating a graviton flux disruption that prevents many know designs of threat tractor beams from locking on to the vessel. This layer also incorporates transport inhibitor technology, helping prevent an enemy from transporting aboard. | |||
===Layer Two=== | |||
[[Image:LayerTwo.PNG|left|150px]] The middle layer incorporates automatic rotation of frequency and modulation with meta-phasics, which absorbs enemy fire, spreads it out along the shield. This shield sends data on what type of weapon is used and what frequency and phase the weapon uses. Once this is analyzed, the computer can automatically configure shield to have the same frequency as the incoming weapon, but to different modulation, which dramatically increases shield efficiency. | |||
===Layer One=== | |||
[[Image:LayerOne.PNG|left|150px]] The innermost shield layer is a multi-phaseic shield. Based on standard regenerative shielding, this is the ship's last shielded line of defense, once this is gone the ships only defence is the Ablative Hull Armor. The key to this layer is its ability to 'wave' while in a state of temporal flux. This technology was developed in part by the crew of USS Voyager and the Mannheim Research Station. Instead of a standard oval bubble, this layer 'ripples' or waves (like the surface of water) while in a state of temporal flux. This dramatically increases protection against weapons such as the Hellfire, Chronaton, and Transphaseic Torpedoes while at the same time helping protect the ship from temporal anomalies. | |||
