[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nevod: [QB] Transphasic torpedoes: In 2396, Starfleet survived a series of Borg attacks, consisting of Tactical and two standard Cubes.In response to disastrous results of three battles,and repeated sightnings of Azdeli vessels, Starfleet's R&D started a development of new weapons against Borg. After some time, it has been suggested that new torpedo weapon must be able to create chaos in Borg subspace network and overload subspace taps. Initial design was using 12-kilogram M/AM mix to initiate enchanced ZPE actuator, and of shells of tricobalt-tungsten-magnesium and verterium cochrenide to create randomly-variating multiband subspace field. However, even that wasn't enough to guarantee 100% destruction of Borg or Azdeli vessel. Shortly thereafter, idea of using transporter primary energizers embedded in casing, and linked to shield scanner pallet, was used. But the resulting device was just too big to mount even in quantum torpedo casing. Following design of quantum torpedo, transphasic warhead was fitted in even larger probe casing-Type IX. Even then, warhead was so big that resulting torpedo was almost unable of going at warp, and having limited impulse range. Testings opened extreme efficiency of new torpedo against even conventional enemy ships, not only suspace-powered. Resulting effective yields, in comparsion to standard photon torpedo effective yields, appeared to be of next values: against subspace-powered vessels: 2800, against conventional vessels- 25. Such extremely successful results allowed Starfleet to began production of transphasic torpedoes immediately. However, transphasic warheads apeared to be very hard to manufacture , so even the most powerful Starfleet battlecruisers now aren't carrying more than 60 torpedoes. It's a bit non-canon, made just for fun... [/QB][/QUOTE]
