Hyperonic radiation is one of the
seven classes of subspace radiation (the others are
metreon,
nadion,
amnion,
tetryon,
verteron and
SEM) which all are composed of unstable or semistable
phased
baryons. Exposure to most hyperonic radiation is usually fatal
for Anthroid life as it is highly penetrating, requiring
subspace shield technology to block, and is very reactive to
atomic structures. What determines the exact amount of danger
associated with exposure to hyperonic radiation depends on how
much
phase differential exists between the particles and biological
tissue. For example, most forms of
strange radiation (actually a combination of hyperonic
radiation and
tetryon radiation) are quite harmless as their
frequencies are far enough out of sync with normal matter as
to not have much interaction with it.
The
phased nature of hyperonic radiation can interfere with
sensors and make transporter use dangerous. In addition, it has a
tendency to randomize
phaser beams as it's particles sometimes deflect or scatter
nadions, producing charged
tetryons. |
