The Apparition's mission success relies on its ability to infiltrate locations that regular Star Fleet vessels could not openly operate. As such, it has several types of equipment to help it in that task.

The Apparition's dark hull-plating combined with sensor scrambling technology allows it to hide in the black of space, appearing as a sensor glitch or ghost on other vessels' scanners. Sensor scramblers can also make the ship appear to be another type of vessel than what it really is.

External holographic emitters can change the Apparition's visible appearance. Used in combination with sensor scrambling technology, the ship can appear to be a civilian vessel or non-Federation ship of similar size.

The Apparition's stealth system, based on a Romulan cloaking device, can hide the ship completely if necessary.
