The structural integrity field was a type of technology, a force field applied on a spaceship, starship, architectural construct or space station designed to help maintain the integrity and shape of structural framework, hulls and bulkheads against the extreme stresses caused by warp fields, weapon impacts, and other motion.
History and specifications[]
Montgomery Scott found himself impressed by the structural integrity of the Klingon Empire's vessels, having taken two B'rel-class Klingon bird-of-preys on gravitational slingshots through time, and was uncertain that a comparable sized Federation craft would be able to hold together, especially burdened with water and two whales.
