ABLATIVE ARMOUR
Output: The ablative armour matrix on the Wraith is capable of protecting the ship from heavy attack for periods of up to 1 minute with the shields down. The Wraith's nacelles are also armored

METAPHASIC SHIELDS
-12 field generators (three on deck 2, two on deck 4, three on deck 6, four on deck 8)
-Maximum continuous output 2688 MW/s
123456-Peak momentary load: 170 ms
123456-MW per generator: 56,000 MW
-Full redundancy
-Auxiliary shield systems: 86% of primary

Overview: Up to 7 can be used at one time (the remaining 5 are backups) for a total shield output of 2688 MW. The shields have the (now-apparently standard) metaphasic modification which allows them to enter the corona of a star. As they takes its power directly from the warp engines and the phasers, but the total output of the shields are approximately 35% of the total EM spectrum (whereas a Galaxy or Nebula Class starship's shields can only protect against about 23%), made possible by the multiphase technology incorporated into the shields.

PHASERS
-Type: XII, this latest phaser fires rapid pulses of phaser energy, instead of a steady beam. The phaser emitter automatically rotates phaser frequency and attempts to lock onto the frequency and nutation of a threat vehicle's shields for shield penetration.
-Emitters: 22 (4 forward, 4 aft, 8 dorsal, 6 ventral)
-Forward Emitter Location : Inner sides of the warp nacelles.
-Aft Emitter Location : Just behind the impulse engines in two rows of 2.
-Dorsal Emitter Location : Two rows of 4 next to warp nacelles.
-Ventral Emitter Location : Total of 6 emitters arranged on underside.

Output : The Wraith's phasers are the most powerful in Starfleet. They are 500 MW (total output 2000 MW). The powerful phasers on the Wraith are achieved by channeling power direcly from the warp core.

TORPEDOES
Type: Standard Issue Toprs
Torpedo Launchers: 3
Arrangement: Two forward, and one aft (mounted between the impulse engines).
Payload: 80

Type: New mark II quantum torpedo, capable of pattern firing (sierra, etc.) as well as independent firing. Independent targeting once discharged, detonation on contact.
Torpedo Launchers: 4 123456
Arrangement: Two fixed-focus torpedo launchers located on the rim of the bow, one on either side of the main deflector dish module. Two fixed-focus torpedo launchers located on the aft rim of the hull, between the two impulse engines.
Output: The torpedo, upon impact, generates a quantum oscillation which rapidly brings together the antihydrogen and plasma packets, annihilating themselves and igniting the falmerite explosives in the torpedo. This explosion drives the enecium and uranium packets, which then detonate. This results in an explosion approximately 10-to-the-fifth-power megajoules, roughly equivalent to four photon torpedoes.
Payload: 60

-Type: Mark III Tri-cobalt explosive device
-Tri-Cobalt Devices: 4
-Output: These torpedoes are incredibly destructive, the most powerful weapon Starfleet has pushed into mass production. Upon impact, the microfusion initiators inside the casing fuse the four packets of cobalt hexafluoride with pure antihydrogen and trilithium and mix with all remaining plasma from the torpedo's engines, causing rapid total annihilation of the torpedo and a massive explosion. One torpedo detonation produces 10-to-the-eighth-power megajoules, roughly equivalent to 250 photon torpedoes. In addition, ships on diplomatic or internal missions have the warheads removed for safety reasons.
Payload: 16

OTHER

Tractor Beam
-Arrangment: One main steerable emitter, ventral midships. Used primarily for towing large ships or bodies.

Mark VII Cloaking Device
-Arrangment: located on deck 3
-Range: The cloaking field envelops the hull of the ship itself to minimize subspace distortion. During warp flight, the cloak is extended to mask the warp field.
-Output: When active, all defensive system power istransferred to the cloak, which gives it enough power to fully cloak the strong signature that Wraith puts out. The total amount of power used is classified, but goes into the gigawatt range. The cloak masks all energy put out by Wraith, making it virtually invisible to everything except the most powerful subspace scanner (and if a threat vessel puts that much power into scanning instead of weapons, it deserves to be destroyed)

NOTE
According to a provision in The Treaty of Algeron, The Federation must abstain from developing or possessing cloaking technology. However, this provision was set aside through a mutual agreement between The Romulan Star Empire and the Federation. The Wraith is equipped with a Romulan cloaking device, which is licensed to The Federation. However, the cloaking device is only to be used to allow the Wraith to move undetected through the Delta quadrant, and it is not to be used in the Alpha quadrant. The Romulans allowed the Federation to have the cloaking device because they do not have access to the wormhole directly.
