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. | 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.

The primary weapons of Vaadwaur ships are [[MA:Phase cannon|phase | 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. | ||
