Topic: "Svalinn" Class Metaphasic Shield
--Name--
Named for the legendary shield in Norse mythology that stands before the Sun, protecting the Earth from the full harshness of Sol.
--Background Information--
One of the many Argussian contributions to the Federation after they received their status as protectorates, the "Svalinn" class shield is a type of combat shielding, aimed an acceptable combat shield that retains experimental metaphasic properties.
Many of Starfleet's current metaphasic design programs were based of the research of Ferengi Scientist, Doctor Reyga who was murdered on the U.S.S. Enterprise-D in 2369 by Takaran scientist Doctor Jo'Bril.
Doctor Reyga's shield design was based on conducting scientific research and observing stellar events from close range and therefore was not designed to accommodate combat.
However in 2369, the Enterprise-D used the metaphasic shield to hide from a Borg vessel by entering a star's corona and the effectiveness of the metaphasic shield as a tactical technology was proven.
It was not until 2394, when Argussian refugees settled on the planet Veridian III and became protectorates of the Federation, that their shared technology yielded an answer.
::Design Specifications::
The Svalinn Class Metaphasic Shield is a combat capable shield which incorporates regenerative shield technology found on Sovereign Class starships.
Argussian technologies use a forced subspace compression beam which is projected from numerous emitter points on the hull of the ship which augments the metaphasic shield against intense radiation and gravametric pressure normally found within a star or other galactic bodies.
This innovation, unknown to Starfleet at the time has greatly increased shield power by a factor of five and allows vessels to maintain a metaphasic shield while under intense fire from enemy vessels.
This version of the shield is not vulnerable to a phased ionic pulse as with conventional metaphasic shields however tetyon weapons can disrupt the shields ability to augment its lattice with the subspace compression pulses and can cause the shield to fail.
However due to the rarity of tetyon based weaponry in the Alpha Quadrant, Starfleet Engineering believed that this technology was viable and worked with Veridian Scientists to develop the Svalinn Class Metaphasic Shield which has only been deployed on experimental vessels and some of Starfleet's newest designs.
