Hellfire Torpedoes

From FEInfobase

Hellfire Torpedoes, were a failed Starfleet experiment to make a torpedo capable of skipping past an enemy vessels shields, although initial testing looked promising further development showed the torpedoes to be highly unstable when lauching and more often than not they phased all the way through a vessel before exploding harmlessly beyond it.

Coupled with the large quantities of resources required to build a single Hellfire Torpedo the whole project was shelved in 2389 after a Hellfire torpedo missed the target it had been aimed at and instead impacted in the centre of one of the ships Starfleet had assigned to monitor the tests. Starfleet felt the continued funding to make the torpedo safe enough for use against the Borg.

It is rumoured that several tesst Torpedo's remain in storage at Frost Station
