CareTaker's Displacement Wave Technology

I just watched Star Trek: Prodigy, which immediately got me thinking about Janeway, which led me to thinking about Star Trek: Voyager.

This got me thinking, that the CareTaker's array was able to create a massive Artificial Displacement Wave that brought a vessel from point A to B, across > 70,000 ly's almost instantaneously.

From the VFX in ST:VOY, the Displacement Wave is like a artificially generated Tsunami Wall of highly energetic phenomenon, characterized as a polarized magnetic variation. It is not a precision or suddle FTL tool.

The Displacement Wave did massive systems damage to USS Voyager who had it's Shields up, so if your vessel isn't properly setup to ride through/with the Displacement Wave, bad-ness will happen to your vessel.

Granted we've only seen evidence of the fact that the Nacene (CareTaker & Suspiria) were able to produce this along with the Guardian of Forever.

I'm assuming the Displacement Wave is some form of Dimensional Shift from point A to point B.

That explains how Voyager got shoved to the Delta Quadrant so fast.

The Displacement Wave imparts a small amount of Kinetic Energy, not enough to escape it or knock Voyager out of it's path, kind of like the oncoming walls of water in a Tsunami.

I hope "The Borg" never gets ahold of that tech, imagine how scary it would be if they figured out how it worked and they nabbed random people/vessels from through the Galaxy or Universe.

Is it possibly a more advanced version of the soliton wave prototype? They seem to have some basic similarities.

Other than the fact that they're waves of energy, they seem to function differently and the method of FTL that the vessels use to get from A to B seems to function differently.

It’s like an artificially generated wormhole except expressed as a wave instead of a vortex. Voyager’s graviton particle field was not able to disperse it. Interestingly, heavy gravimetric charges could actually open up a wormhole. Janeway might have actually made things worse by using a graviton particle field.

I was thinking that it was closer to the Sikarian Folded Space Tech that they call a Spatial Trajector.
But the CareTaker would launch a wave from where he wants the target to occupy in space and the two points in space exchange position. Kind of like a basic "Swap Function", but over vast FTL distances.

Might be it's yer standard advanced alien long range teleporter, only the aging Caretaker has such poor eyesight nowadays that his originally focused transporter beam has broadened out to a sweeping, fumbling wave... One that rattles the transportees to pieces no less.

OTOH, Kim's "It's some kind of polarized magnetic variation" description can be taken (if generously not for Kim babbling incoherently) for a description of the same "magnetic storm" phenomenon that displaced the old Valiant across the galaxy 300 years prior. Was that a Caretaker-like player's doing, too?

The Protoss in StarCraft use a form of warp beacon that can transport units very long distances, not unlike a transporter on a larger scale. It's used to construct bases by warping in prefabricated buildings into place, in addition to troop deployments. It's not quite the same sort of wave technology that the Caretaker used, but Protoss science is able to manipulate other forms of energy and unusual physics in ways far ahead of human technology.

That’s what I was thinking…but there you are just pushing a boogie board on a wave….forward only.

Caretaker tech is like popping a sheet off the bed just so…and it sends a forgotten cheetoh sailing *backwards* right into your nose.

Voyager was that cheetoh.

It takes a lot of power to treat subspace like a bedsheet. The Alternative Factor would have made sense then...Caretaker looking more substantial than Lazarus’ ride. Sikarian tech doesn’t pop the sheet as a hole, as much as change the threading…or something.

OT Polyus was thought by some to be like IKON from Space Cowboys…but warheads only…like a Pez dispenser of death.

Too much Halloween candy…
