| - A molecular phase inverter was a device that was capable of shifting the phase of matter. Such a device was equipped on the USS Ranger, but had seen little use prior to 2381. The few occasions it was used, it restored phase-shifted objects displaced by transporter accidents or misconfigured warp fields by a few millicochranes. The Ranger commanding officer, Captain Peter Pachal, conceived of using the inverter to shift the vessel out of phase to pass through the adaptive shielding of a Borg cube, allowing the ship to detonate its stock of quantum torpedoes to defeat the enemy. Pachal was killed before the Ranger was ready, but first officer Jennifer Nero organized and successfully executed its use. (ST - Destiny novel: Gods of Night)
- At one point, the Klingon Empire experimented with combining a molecular phase inverter with a cloaking device. Vessels equipped with such an interphase generator would theoretically be able to hide anywhere, even inside a planet, and would be immune to conventional weapons. The Klingons abandoned this research, however, due to several accidents which occurred as a result.

| - At one point, the Klingon Empire experimented with combining a molecular phase inverter with a cloaking device. Vessels equipped with such an interphase generator would theoretically be able to hide anywhere, even inside a planet, and would be immune to conventional weapons. The Klingons abandoned this research, however, due to several accidents which occurred as a result. In 2368, the Romulans attempted the same experiment, equipping one of their vessels with an interphase generator. This experiment ended in disaster, however, resulting in a forced chamber explosion in their resonator coil, severely damaging the ship. The USS Enterprise-D answered the Romulans' distress call, and assisted them in making repairs. Upon beaming back to the Enterprise, however, Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge and Ensign Ro Laren became contaminated with chronitons leaking from the Romulans' cloaking device, and became phased themselves, unable to interact or communicate with anyone but each other. La Forge and Ro were eventually de-phased when they were subjected to a high-intensity anyon emission. (TNG: "The Next Phase" )
