Triaxilating

Triaxilation is a type of modulation, and can be applied in various technologies.
It involves three signals, instead of the usual one, which rotate around each other and help to mask each others' signatures.


Triaxilating a communication signal is a method used by Star Fleet to make a signal more secure.


The Borg triaxilated deflector shield geometry to absorb the energy of phaser pulses modulated to change frequencies.

  • However, they could not instantaneously adapt, and so could take a few shots through their shields.


Antiphoton pulses could be used to disrupt the signals of heavily armored holographic projectors.

  • These pulses are emitted on a triaxilating frequency, and would shut down any emitter without damaging the program it is projecting.
  • Emitters could still be protected from the pulse using deflector shields, or by emitting a feedback surge on the inverse triaxilating frequency to counter the pulse.
