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.

Three different powers, the [[Klingon Empire]], the [[Romulan | Three different powers, the [[Klingon Empire]], the [[Romulan Empire]] and the [[Federation]] (with the latter being done illegally) attempted to combine a molecular phase inverter with a cloaking device, creating an [[Interphase Cloaking Device]] or an interphase generator (either of which would have provided a substantial tactical advantage), all with limited success.
