Invisibility-screen generator that was designed not only to disguise a starship from visual and sensor detection, but also to alter the atomic structure of the ship, so that ship could pass through normal matter. The strategic advantages of the device would have been numerous, and the Federation covertly worked on its development, in violation of the Treaty of Algeron. The cloak eventually proved itself in practical use, but the Federation was forbidden from using it by the terms of the treaty.
