Holographic projector technology equipped on the Romulan drone ship, a multispectral emitter was used as a camouflage system. The only known way to counter these latest cloaks involved the use of telepathic races such as Betazoids to detect an enemy crew by sensing their thoughts. The Scimitar was the only vessel in the Star Empire known to have overcome the long standing problem of not being able to raise shields or fire weapons when the cloaking device was active. The cloak of the Reman Warbird Scimitar produced no tachyon emissions and left no residual antiproton traces for detection. ( TNG: " Redemption II")īy 2379, the Star Empire had perfected the cloaking technology. In 2368, the Federation developed the tachyon detection grid, a technique that allowed for the detection of Romulan vessels of the day. In 2152, a quantum beacon proved an effective counter measure for detecting less advanced cloaks such as those found on Romulan mines, but not those on early Romulan Birds-of-Prey. The Romulans and the Federation long engaged in a tech war of cloak and cloak detection. This, as well as the fact that by 2269 the Klingons had ships with cloaking capability ( TAS: " The Time Trap"), a technology previously thought unique to the Romulans, led to speculations about a short-lived Romulan-Klingon alliance. In "The Enterprise Incident", Spock specifically mentions the Romulan cruisers to be of Klingon design. Kirk of the Enterprise managed to steal a Romulan cloaking device so that Starfleet could assess its danger to the Federation. The Romulans used D7-class battle cruisers of Klingon design but equipped with cloaking devices as of 2268, when they apprehended the USS Enterprise. ( ENT: " Broken Bow", " Shockwave", " Future Tense") While the Suliban were known to use cloaking devices by 2151, this technology was provided by a mysterious benefactor from the 29th century and was not developed by their race. The Romulans were the first known race to develop the cloaking device stealth technology, first observed on Romulan mines and the Romulan Bird-of-Prey in 2152.
