A graphic of a metaphasic shield
The Enterprise utilizes metaphasic shielding.
Metaphasic shielding was a form of subspace shielding technology based on metaphasic fields invented by Dr. Reyga, a Ferengi scientist, in 2369.
The metaphasic shield was capable of withstanding the pressure, radiation and energy of a star's corona. The technology was installed on the shuttlecraft Justman for a manned test flight. The prototype systems included the metaphasic projection matrix, an EPS flow regulator, a polarized field emitter coil and a radial force compensator. The shield was voulnerable to a phased ionic pulse beamed directly into the projection matrix. This resulted in a temporary system malfunction, a disruption of the metaphasic shield, during which a tetryon field would form inside the ship.
Reyga was murdered by the Takaran scientist Jo'Bril, who attempted to fake the failure of the technology during the test flight. Jo'Bril hoped to weaponize metaphasic technology for his race. Subsequently, Dr. Beverly Crusher successfully demonstrated the shield's effectiveness by piloting the Justman into the corona of the star Veytan. She also uncovered Jo'Brils plans. (TNG: "Suspicions")
In 2370, Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge developed the Metaphasic shield program 1, an application of the metaphasic technology for use on the USS Enterprise-D. It involved a steady increase of the subspace compression factor of the shields, which corresponded in the decrease of the field distortion from 4,562 to 4,513 millicochranes, after which the metaphasic field was engaged. The shield modification allowed the Enterprise-D to lure a Rogue Borg ship into a star's corona and destroy it with a solar flare. (TNG: "Descent, Part II")
The Mokra prison facility in the Delta Quadrant was protected by metaphasic shields. (VOY: "Resistance")
The Ferengi who tried to kidnap Seven of Nine fantasized about buying a ship with metaphasic shields with the money from selling her nanoprobes.(VOY: "Inside Man")
