Tachyon scan

A tachyon scan, also known as a tachyon signal, involves a starship emitting a tachyon beam at a particular location in an attempt to detect cloaked vessels by finding tachyon emissions given off by a cloaking device. Although a tachyon scan would detect most vessels using a cloaking device, its range is relatively limited but can be vastly increased by setting up a tachyon detection grid.
This technique can also be used to scan quantum singularities.
