An isolation suit is a type of clothing used by the Federation Starfleet. It is equipped with technology which makes the person wearing it practically invisible, except to properly equipped monitoring stations. Starfleet uses isolation suits when observing a pre-warp civilization in order to prevent cultural contamination, in accordance with the Prime Directive. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
Appendices
Background
In the script of Star Trek: Insurrection, the term cloaked is used of the people using the suits and the term decloaking is used when isolation suits are turned off, but it is also clearly indicated that a force field is responsible for the invisibility. [1]
Apocrypha
The Star Trek Fact Files state that isolation suits use holographic technology rather than a cloaking device to achieve the invisibility.
In the novel Lesser Evil, the Trill Hiziki Gard used an isolation suit to evade capture after he assassinated the Bajoran First Minister, Shakaar Edon, on Deep Space 9.
