Spatial Distorting Field

The Spatial Distorting Field was an extremely sophisticated and advanced form of shielding. It's existence, creation and secrecy was so fragile its location of creation was no farther then the most dangerous places in the Federation.

Manner of Operating
Originating in the shield generators. The shield generators formed a large bulbous envelopment of the ship entirely made up of gravimetric waves. Usually by the emission of gravimetric energy. The gravimetric disturbances are increased progressively until a spatial distortion forms, specifically a rift in the space-time continuum. Therefore, after at least 10+ seconds, a full out hollow spatial distortion is formed. The intense spatial fluctuations and gravimetric disturbances hypothetically cause anything impacting it or close to it to crush or disperse. I.e., Directed energy disperses and torpedoes are crushed due to the spatial and gravimetric fluctuations and disturbances.

Failure
A collapse or failure in the generation and strength of this type of shield was calculated to be 2.7x less likely to occur then in its predecessors. As stated above, the presence of extreme spatial and gravimetrics fluctuations and disturbances cause directed energy and torpedoes to crunch and break down before impact. Although in the case some weapon does withstand and/or zoom through the shielding, the damage will be a more hits then usual to go down even 3%. It is hypothesized it may have 2x more resilience against Borg technology.

Picking of Location
Due to the vast worry and knowledge of the fragility in this project, Starfleet Command isolated their operations of where to create it, the choice, some of the most dangerous places in the Federation. After nearly a full weak, the planet of Hekaras II was chosen, as it was very close to the Hekaras Corridor. The two other close choices were the Briar Patch or inside the Dyson Sphere.

Starships/Starbases
The starships/starbases were this technology was assigned to was:
 * Renovamen Class
 * Exelixi Class
 * Glantaur Class
