| - The transphasic torpedo was a very powerful weapon brought back in time from the early 25th century by Admiral Kathryn Janeway. These torpedoes were designed specifically for use against the Borg and a single transphasic torpedo is capable of destroying a Borg Cube. (VOY: Endgame) In 2381, the USS Enterprise-E had been fitted with transphasic torpedos. During the Borg sieges in February of this year, Captain Jean-Luc Picard recomended that the whole fleet be outfitted with the devices, to give the fleet a better chance of survival. He was over-ruled by Admiral Alynna Necheyav, who feared that the more the weapons were used, the more opportunity it gave the Borg to adapt. (Destiny: Gods of Night) The transphasic torpedoes work by delivering a subspace compression pulse existing in an assymetric superposition of phase states. If one subcomponent of the pulse is blocked by shielding, enough others will still succeed in penetrating to the target to ensure that the majority of the pulse is still delivered. Each torpedo's transphasic configuration is different, randomly generated by a dissonant feedback effect, so there is no way for the Borg to predict the configuration of its phase states in order to shield against them. (TNG: Greater Than The Sum) The USS Atlas was also another ship equipped with transphasic torpedoes. It destroyed several Borg Cubes around Vulcan before the Borg adapted to the torpedoes.

- In the alternate timeline, this weapon system was developed as an anti-Borg technology by Captain Janeway. The torpedoes were invented some time after they encountered the transwarp hub hidden inside a nebula in 2378, but chose not to investigate it further. She used the technology to defend Voyager against the Borg on their voyage back to Earth. In 2404, Admiral Janeway embarked on an illegal mission to change history by traveling back in time through a temporal rift to secure Voyager's safe return to the Alpha Quadrant sixteen years early. Arriving to 2378, Admiral Janeway brought the advanced technology with her on the shuttlecraft SC-4, and shared the technology with the crew of Voyager along with ablative generator-technology. Admiral Janeway assisted the crew in upgrading the torpedoes carried by Voyager, turning them into transphasic torpedoes. The torpedoes subsequently proved extremely effective at combating the Borg vessels guarding the transwarp hub in grid 986, allowing the crew to destroy two cubes. They also used the torpedoes to blow up a Borg sphere, that had captured Voyager into its internal bay. Voyager used transphasic torpedoes to destroy the interspatial manifolds supporting the structure of the hub, causing the Borg's transwarp network to collapse. The manifolds though weren't as vulnerable as Borg ships, as their shielding was regulated from the central nexus by the Borg Queen, which would have allowed the collective to adapt to the transphasic torpedoes after a few of the manifolds were destroyed. Admiral Janeway was however able to kill the Queen with a neurolytic pathogen in time to allow the plan to succeed. (VOY: "Endgame") After their critical role in "Endgame", transphasic torpedoes were not shown or mentioned in Star Trek Nemesis.

- The transphasic torpedo is a weapon used by Starfleet and designed sometime in the 2380s in an alternate future timeline. It was developed to specifically handle the Borg threat. A single transphasic torpedo is capable of destroying a Borg Cube. This technology was introduced to Starfleet in 2377 by Captain Kathryn Janeway and the crew of the USS Voyager after returning from the Delta Quadrant with the help of an alternate future timeline version of Captain Janeway. In 2381, the USS Enterprise-E was the only vessel that had been fitted with transphasic torpedoes. During the Borg sieges in February of this year, Captain Jean-Luc Picard recommended that the whole fleet be outfitted with the devices, to give the fleet a better chance of survival. He was over-ruled by Admiral Alynna Nechayev, who feared that the more the weapons were used, the more opportunity it gave the Borg to adapt. Once the Borg invasion began, the Enterprise and Starfleet Command distributed the torpedo's specifications to every vessel they could. Starfleet also provided the technology to the Klingon Defense Force. By the conclusion of the Borg conflict, the Borg ships had adapted to transphasic torpedoes before the invasion could be stopped. In 2383, the torpedoes were stored in Starfleet's experimental weapons headquarters. It was noted by engineers that the transphasic technology used in the torpedoes could be adapted to other parts of vessels' tactical systems. Using the principles in shielding caused a power drain, cutting warp speed (down to 9.1 on Sovereign-class starships), had the potential to quickly burn out shield emitters, and the Borg would be able to utilize wide-dispersal firing patterns to counter. The same principles could not be applied to phaser systems without an iron-60 crystal matrix to handle the strain, but it wouldn't output at sufficiently high energy levels to be effective.
