Bio-neural gel pack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Star Trek fictional universe, the Bio-neural gel pack is a form of computer technology used by Starfleet, first developed in 2370 for the new Intrepid class starship.
[edit] Uses and Appearances
The gel packs form the basis of the bio-neural circuitry, which is essentially an organic computer system. The packs contain neural fibers surrounded in biomimetic gel with metallic interfaces on the top and bottom. Gel packs cannot be replicated. They help store more information and operate at faster speeds. The USS Voyager was one of the first vessels equipped with the technology. Like other biological forms, gel-packs are susceptible to bacteria and viruses and as such have several flaws.
- They can be infected with bacteria and microviruses.
- Gel packs are susceptible to subnucleonic radiation.
- Unlike Isolinear optical chip, Gel-packs cannot be replicated.
