The Science Institute worked for many turns on a method to counter the Dominion tactic of using antiproton beams to detect cloaked ships. They had developed a solution by early 2381; however, during the Borg Invasion of 2381, the Institute facilities had to be abandoned, and the Institute re-established on Ty'Gokor. They were able to preserve their work files, and to replicate the new cloak in short order. (ST novel: A Singular Destiny)
