Tachyon Detection Grid

Tachyon detection grids are specialized sensor networks designed to detect cloaked vessels by scanning for distortions in the tachyon particle field. While cloaking devices can bend light and mask most emissions, they create subtle disruptions in the fabric of space-time that affect tachyon particles.

The system works by positioning multiple tachyon emitters and detectors in a coordinated array, creating an overlapping field of tachyon beams. When a cloaked vessel passes through the grid, it creates a momentary shadow or distortion in the tachyon field that reveals its position. The technology is most effective when deployed across large areas of space using multiple ships or stations working in concert. Romulan and Klingon forces have developed countermeasures, leading to an ongoing technological arms race in stealth and detection capabilities.
