IBEX Ship Specs

Mission Profile The IBEX is designed for covert intelligence gathering, surveillance, deep penetration reconnaissance, black ops, and selective disruption across Federation and non-Federation territories. Its mandate demands the highest degree of operational independence, stealth, precision, and deniability. Unlike conventional starships, the IBEX is non-attributable: sensor profiles are deliberately inconsistent. Its systems are optimized not for confrontation, but for information dominance. 1. Hull & Stealth Technologies Metaphasic Ablative Coating: Based on USS Defiant and USS Prometheus hull research. Absorbs and diffuses active scans at subatomic levels. Can be "tuned" dynamically to mimic civilian ship signatures or appear as spatial anomalies. Dynamic Structural Integrity Field (SIF): Adjusts hull geometry microscopically to warp reflected sensor signals, confusing targeting sensors. Adaptive Reflective Armor: Integrates borg-influenced adaptive alloys. Increases resistance to detection and adapts to known scanning methods. Silent Running Mode ("Ghostwalk"):Shuts down all nonessential systems.Replaces standard life support with emergency chemical air recyclers.Moves via gravity-assisted drift and ultra-low impulse emissions. Warp Wake Masking System:Creates false warp trails.Can plant "decoy" subspace disturbances resembling another vessel's unique warp signature. Graviton Wake Nullifier: Suppresses warp-field distortions to avoid detection by Borg, Dominion, or graviton-sensitive sensors. 2. Sensors & Reconnaissance Quantum Resolution Sensor Array (QRSA):Incorporates Tachyon Detection Grids, Graviton Displacement Sensors, and Verteron Pulse Analyzers.Maps cloaked ships, underground facilities, and transwarp conduits. Long-Range Quantum Entanglement Scanner (QES):Instantly intercepts comm signals from light-years away via paired quantum states. Chronometric Anomaly Detection Suite:Recognizes temporal incursions, phased objects, and cloaked time-travel devices. Dark Matter Density Mapper:Penetrates nebulae and "sensor black holes" used by enemies to hide. Subspace Stress Detectors:Detect distortions created by subspace weapons, isolytic charges, and Breen dampeners. Gravimetric Distortion Analyzer:Scans for artificial black holes, gravitic mines, and Nexus-style anomalies. 3. Hacking & Communications Warfare Subspace Interdiction Array ("Whisperfang"):Injects malware into enemy sensor networks without alerting them.Can override shield frequencies if left unmonitored. Q-Phase Emitter:Hijacks enemy communications mid-transmission.Allows IBEX to plant false data or "edit" in real-time without visible disruption. Polaron Tunneling Link:Penetrates hardened data cores of enemy bases and vessels.Utilizes low-bandwidth quantum tunneling to avoid detection. Anti-Temporal Malware Defense Net:Scrambles external attempts to time-hack the IBEX, defending against temporal displacement attacks. 4. Propulsion Systems Multi-Vector Variable Geometry Warp Core:Derived from USS Prometheus.Allows for ultra-rapid micro-jumps, "skip-drives," evading pursuit. Impulse Drive Augmentation (IDA):Silent plasma thrusters allow course corrections without detectable heat or EM signature. Slipstream Pulse Generator (SPG):One-use experimental feature allowing emergency escape at Slipstream velocities for up to 12 minutes. Subspace Warp Filament Drive:Micro-jump generator capable of simulating graviton wake paths or sudden dispersals to confuse sensors — originally reverse-engineered from Nexus gravitational distortions. 5. Weapons (Primarily Defensive or Surgical) Chroniton Torpedo Launchers:Bypasses most standard shields.Can "phase out" enemy ship systems without total destruction. Coherent Graviton Beam Projector:Can tear apart enemy sensor arrays or tractor ship fragments silently. Phased Neutron Disruptors:Fire in pulse or beam format.Effective against Borg technology and heavy armor. Isolinear Sabotage Drones ("Specters"):Launched in stealth capsules to land aboard enemy ships. Hack enemy computer systems or disable ships from the inside. Subspace Rift Missiles: Induce localized subspace tearing to counter enemy isolytic weapons and disorient cloaked ships. Multi-Spectrum Disruptors: Tuned to affect Romulan disruptor shielding, Borg graviton defenses, and Breen energy dampening systems. Temporal Interference Torpedoes ("Timeflechettes"): Create localized temporal distortions to disrupt enemy sensors and weapon fire. Tetryon Surge Cannons: Effective against Borg and species using phased shielding technologies. Metaphasic Resonance Burst: Defensive pulse detunes local radiation to counteract Thalaron radiation weapons. Adaptive Tractor Disruption Grid: Shreds hostile tractor beams — specifically countering Borg graviton locks. 6. Transporter Systems Quantum Slip Transporters ("Ghostporters"): Beam through shield harmonics by quantum phasing. Silent transport without standard targeting telemetry. Multiphasic Decoy Transporters: Creates "false" transporter signatures to confuse enemy tracebacks. Biomorphic Signature Scramblers: Transported personnel appear biologically scrambled on enemy scans — countering transporter bombs and mimetic boarding tactics. 7. Internal Security Internal Cloaking Field Generators: Individual rooms or compartments can phase-shift slightly, hiding them from boarding parties. Emergency Neuro-Suppressive Gas Systems ("Silent Nerve"): Deploys fast-acting, non-lethal incapacitating agents against unauthorized intruders. Auto-Sterilizing Bulkheads: Flash-detonates to prevent forensic evidence after emergency evacuation. Chronometric Shielding in Core Sections: Prevents enemy use of time-phased boarding or incursion tactics. EMP Pulse Hardening: Resists Nausicaan pulse attacks and Breen dampener effects internally. Viral Isolation Subsystems: Autonomously sections off any deck showing viral or biological attacks (Xindi, Breen style). 8. Special Systems Omega Field Containment Core: Can temporarily stabilize up to five Omega molecules for use as weapon or emergency escape sabotage device (classified). Temporal Micro-Manifold Array: Short-range "temporal lens" for seeing moments up to 30 seconds into the future within a radius of 5 km (classified; unpredictable). Blackout Core Ejection System:Instantly ejects and detonates the warp core if capture is imminent.Replaces standard self-destruct with non-traceable evidence destruction. Tachyon Deception Array:Creates false tachyon emissions to bait cloaked ships. Gravitonic Mine Dispensers:Launches fake gravitic anomalies as area denial during stealth operations. Subnucleonic Dissonance Engine:Projectors emit dissonance fields that scramble delicate subspace sensors — perfect for disorienting Dominion polaron beam targeting.
