Infinity Modulator
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Infinity Modulator or I-Mod is a fictional weapon found in the Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force series of PC and console games.
The I-Mod is essentially an adapted phaser designed by Seven of Nine and the Voyager crew to fight the Borg. It fires a blue particle beam, modulating frequencies after each shot to ensure that Borg personal shields can never adapt to it, as they do to standard Starfleet phasers. It can be set to two power levels, the latter of which can disable a Borg drone with one shot. However, this level uses more power from the weapon’s limited reserve. It should be noted that the weapon apears to use a technology somewhat different than the standard phaser, hence its blue and wider beam.
The I-Mod is only seen in the games; it has never been seen or mentioned in any Star Trek canon, including Voyager. The technique behind the I-Mod-- modulating frequencies-- is regularly used in canon, but with standard phase weapons, it only slows down the speed of adaptation.
