Unimatrix Shielding
Tech · Chaos Tech
The Borg are known to collect and assimilate the technology of any species they’ve encountered. However, in rare instances, these roles reverse, and the Collective’s technology can be snatched away and used by others. Unimatrix Shielding - a sliver of the vast arsenal of the Borg, is one such technology that eventually fell into the hands of the U.S.S. Voyager crew. Lieutenant Commander Tuvok repurposed this defensive technology in order to protect a multi-spatial probe from the aggressive atmosphere of a Class 6 gas giant, while his colleague Tom Paris used it to perfect the newly constructed Delta Flyer. A replica of the Borg’s original technology, the Unimatrix Shielding quickly adapts to incoming damage, and nullifies energy weaponry deployed by any hostile - a perfect fit for a shuttle designed to navigate the potentially hazardous environments of the Delta Quadrant. In an ironic twist of fate, the original Delta Flyer was destroyed by the Borg on a mission to assist the drones of Unimatrix Zero. However, in the wake of this unfortunate incident, a new Delta Flyer was constructed, and Unimatrix Shielding remained a studied and understood technology in the hands of Starfleet.
