*** Sure, but it demonstrates that personal shields are possible in principle and could probably be done much better under better conditions. *** Important word there, "one shot", and it only had to hold up to at most a couple of (very slow) physical projectiles, not a highly condensed energy beam.

Maybe Voyager gave it to the rest of the Federation when they got back? *** Worf built a one-shot shield generator out of a combadge and a telegraph in Fistful of Datas.

** I'd say that it's simply that beam weapons in general will go directly through most materials one could make body armor out of and the technology to make shields portable enough to be practical didn't exist until the STO era. No clue as to why troops fighting the Dominion don't have helmets, though. I'd speculate that these uniforms ''are'' Starfleet body armor, and that they offer some measure of protection against shell fragments, bladed weapons, and other kinetic trauma. The garments offer no protection from disruptor fire-both Klingon and Dominion energy weapons have been shown to burn right through them-but they must serve ''some'' purpose if Starfleet issues them to its ]. ** ], which we've seen on at least two occasions in '']'', seems to be made of a thick, rubber-like material. They have armor in the movies because of the higher budget. In ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' and ''VideoGame/StarTrekEliteForce'', they have personal shielding, because it's probably easier to make CG models of armor. Half of the problem with the entire Dominion war was that it was being waged by a side that had forgotten most of the basics of combat, over preceding decades of peace mixed with overwhelming superior firepower - it would be baffling if the defenders at AR-558 ''had'' been properly trained and/or equipped.
This was the same era that also had actual rifles and pistols, uniforms that looked like uniforms, and no civilians on board. ** Just to expand the above: the Kirk-era Starfleet ''did'' issue armor to security guards (and presumably marines) we see it in the films. ** Same reason the phasers don't have sights and are about as ergonomic as a bat'leth. It would be pretty cool to see during the series. Even if phasers can't be blocked by any armor the Federation can make they could prove useful against blades which are often used during battles. The effects of the main parameters, such as the permittivity of the prisms and dielectrics and the Fermi velocity, on the rate of the transmission and the magnetic field propagation are also evaluated.] * Why doesn't anyone in the Federation wear armor, even if just in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', which is military based? It wouldn't cost that much to put in the series, just a spray painted helmet or recycled and recolored paintball armor set should do the job for devoted combat infantry such as in the siege of AR-558. Herein, to create the required evanescent waves, we consider the quantum plasma to be placed between two ordinary prisms and dielectrics. In comparison with the classical regimes, the quantum dispersion curve exhibits an asymptotic behavior which indicates significant effects, in particular, at large wavelengths. The corresponding consequences at the classical limits are consistent with the previous studies. The conditions for the excitation of surface waves are obtained by studying the dispersion relation within the framework of quantum hydrodynamics.
We show that this anomalous transmission is triggered due to the excitation of surface waves, as was observed in the classical overdense plasma. We study the conditions for the anomalous transmission of electromagnetic waves through quantum overdense plasma.
