A [[Molecular Phase Inverter]] is a device that can alter the structure of normal matter, putting it out of phase with normal matter. Matter that has been "phased" can no longer make physical contact with normal matter. However "phased" matter can make physical contact with "phased" matter that has the same phase variance. Phased matter is also unaffected by external energy sources such as heat, allowing a phased object to be able to, in theory, go inside a planet. In addition, conventional weapons would be completely ineffective against phased matter. | A [[Molecular Phase Inverter]] is a device that can alter the structure of normal matter, putting it out of phase with normal matter.

The Spectre Class Starship was the First Federation Vessel to possess a functional and stable Phase Cloak. The USS Spectre (NCC-8741) is a ship in the 52nd Fleet and is Commanded by Captain T'Vhor. A newly renegotiated Treaty of Algeron no longer prevents the pursuit of cloaking technology by the United Federation of Planets in the Star Trek :Freedom Universe.
