When the Children of Tama were asked to prepare a dedication for the Tamarian Deep Space Cruiser [T6], they offered the following statement: "The beast at Tanagra - Mirab with sails unfurled? Kailash, when it rises! Uzani, his army with fists closed! Picard and Dathon at El-Adrel: Children of Tama, Temba his arms wide... Darmok and Jalad on the ocean, The path to Kamata in spring." This ship comes with a Lt. Commander Universal / Command Specialist Bridge Officer seat and a Lieutenant Science / Intelligence Specialist Bridge Officer seat.

The most famous application of this technology was when it was used to enable a unique diplomatic confrontation between the Federation and the Children of Tama, that would eventually lead to successful and peaceful negotiations between the two parties. Since then, the technology has been re-specialized for more general defensive purposes, allowing Tamarians to neutralize and weaken the shields of their foes. This tactic is sometimes still used to allow forced negotiations with aggressive ship captains, by dropping their shields to allow for transporters to lock on to the unsuspecting officers. This console also provides a passive ability which deals a large amount of additional Kinetic Damage when firing upon a ship affected by the Shields Offline status (once every 10 seconds). Starship Trait - Darmok and Jalad Your first weapon hit against an unshielded quadrant on a foe will allow you to beam their commanding officer away from their bridge, resulting in momentary confusion and a long-lasting debuff to their outgoing damage. Your ship will in turn reap the benefits of being prepared for this tactic, gaining an instant reduction to all Captain Ability Cooldowns. This may only trigger once per enemy ship.
