[[File:Cloak.mp4|thumb|right|A Klingon Bird-of-Prey entering and leaving cloak]] '''Cloaking''' technology is a form of stealth used most commonly by races such as the [[Klingon]]s and [[Romulan]]s for their starships. Similar technology can also be used on individuals, notably the [[Jem'Hadar]]. Upon leaving cloak, ships gain a brief "ambush" bonus to their damage for a few seconds. ==Use by factions== While cloaking technology is found on nearly all [[Klingon Defense Force]] and [[Romulan Republic]] ships, the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] uses it sparingly; only a handful of [[Starfleet]] ships are capable of using a cloaking device at all, and fewer still with cloaking capabilities built-in. Other NPC factions which use cloaks include the [[Romulan Star Empire]], [[Reman Resistance]], [[Voth]] and [[Borg Collective]] ([[Mission: Butterfly|alternate timeline only]]). ==Types of cloaking device== There are several different types of cloak abilities usable on starships to conceal you from the enemy. The standard cloaking device is found on many Klingon starships and serves as the baseline from which all others are compared: disabling weapons and shields, draining shield power, increasing defense, boosting your Stealth rating after a moment based on your Auxiliary Power level, and giving a bonus damage boost after decloaking. These standard cloaks cannot be used when the ship is engaged in combat ([[Alert Condition: Red|Red Alert]]), but allow you to get the drop on the enemy at will with a damage bonus. Klingon Battlecruisers and Raptors ([[#Klingon starships|see below]]) feature the standard cloaking device, but they are not the only power to use them. Federation and Cardassian Intelligence vessels use the same cloaking technology--the Cardassian one looking visually different--as well as some other starships of other factions ([[#Cross-faction starships|see below]]). Some Federation starships may also equip the {{con|uni|Cloaking Device}} universal console to gain the ability to cloak, while [[Section 31]] starships have the ability innately as well ([[#Federation starships|see below]]). The {{ability|Battle Cloak}} is a variant of the standard cloak that allows you to cloak during battle, and increase your speed and turn rate once cloaked to allow for more potent ambush tactics. However, triggering the cloak in combat means dropping your shields while under fire, which makes your ship vulnerable. An improved variant is the {{ability|Enhanced Battle Cloak}} which additionally allows the firing of torpedoes and deployment of mines while under cloak, though your ship becomes temporarily targetable while doing so. When under Enhanced Battle Cloak, the bonus damage applies for the entire duration of the cloak, not just the ambush period after decloaking. [[Romulan Republic]] starships use their own variants of the Cloak, Battle Cloak and Enhanced Battle Cloak, which have their power signature affected by the starship's singularity core charge level (see [[#Romulan starships|see below]]). Further variations on the various cloaking devices are detailed below: ===Innate cloaking abilities=== ==== Standard cloak ==== * {{ability2|Cloak}} <span id="showHide-C" class="showHideByClass hideOnLoad"></span> -

This agreement has been a source of controversy in Starfleet, where some officers believed it severely limited tactical options and put the Federation at a disadvantage. Although the Federation initially agreed to follow the treaty after the destruction of the Romulan homeworld, in early 2409 Starfleet was authorized to develop and implement cloaking technology on selected ships. {{item|Console - Universal - Cloaking Device||epic}} is a universal starship console that grants the basic {{ability|Cloak}} ability. It is available from the [[Galaxy Dreadnought Cruiser]] and the [[Tactical Escort Retrofit]], but can also be equipped on the [[Aquarius Light Escort]] and [[Avenger Battlecruiser]] and their variants. Adding the consoles from the two other Tactical Escort ships gives a three set bonus from [[Stealth Fighter Set (Defiant)|Stealth Fighter Set]] which turns it into a {{ability|Battle Cloak}}, but this is only possible for Tier 5 or higher starships. A Battle Cloak is also available from the [[Starfleet Assault Cruiser Technology Set]] 3 set bonus, available to the [[Intel Assault Cruiser]]. One of the three consoles of that set, {{item|Console - Universal - Incremental Phase Cloaking Device||epic}}, functions as a primitive cloaking device but with very different functionality to the normal devices mentioned above.

It cloaks the player's ship, regardless of the ship or player faction, and allows the ship to continue firing without breaking the cloak. ==Aiding cloak tactics== The efficiency of cloak's stealth is linked to the player's {{skill|Starship Stealth}} and their ship's [[Starship (Power and Subsystems)#Auxiliary|auxiliary power level]]. However, there are a number of other factors that can aid cloaking tactics; ===Traits=== {| class="wikitable sortable" style="font-size: 90%" width=100% ! ! Trait ! Effect !

The value of these abilities are primarily in [[PvP]]. In many [[PvE]] queues and missions an NPC cloaks for plot reasons and cannot be detected. Of note, abilities include; *{{ability|Antiproton Sweep}} *{{ability|Attack Pattern Lambda}} *{{ability|Charged Particle Burst}} *{{ability|Emission-Seeking Torpedo}} *{{ability|Tachyon Detection Field}} *{{ability|Tachyon Detection Grid}} *{{ability|Sensor Scan}} ==Cloaked mines== Mines can sometimes be cloaked until activated. Examples of these include the those from the [[Tractor Beam Mine Launcher]] and the {{Ability|Subspace Anesthezine Mine}}. ==Personal cloaks== Personal cloaking goes under a variety of names but is most frequently seen among NPCs as the [[Shroud|Jem'Hadar Shroud]]. As a player ability is also termed a {{Ability|Stealth Module}}. ==External Links== {{MA Link|Cloaking device}} {{MB Link|Cloaking device}} {{Template:BuiltInShipMech}} [[Category:Abilities|Cloak]] [[Category:Player abilities|Cloak]] [[Category:Technological concepts]]
