Voyagers Armour and Transphasic Torpedoes

[Tom Riley]

The way they work has been described in TrekLit.

*prepares for technobabble*

It is based on generating a destructive subspace compression pulse. Upon detonation the torpedo delivers the pulse in an asymmetric superposition of multiple phase states. Shields can only block one subcomponent of the pulse. The other subcomponents deliver the majority of the pulse to the target. Every torpedo has a different transphasic configuration, generated randomly by a dissonant feedback effect to prevent the Borg from predicting the configuration of the phase states.

They have them listed at Memory Alpha.

I like my explanation better.

Written by our very own Christopher I believe.

when I first saw the armour being deployed it was a WOW moment for me.

Ditto re: WOW! I didn't see it as a cheat, especially since the crew used the Admiral's toys and turned her plan on its head so that they could strike a blow for the Alpha Quadrant rather than simply get themselves home. YMMV
