Lt. Barfoot,

Thank you for raising this issue with our helpdesk. It has been passed on to me to deal with. There is an inherent problem with compatibility when dealing with Cardassian equipment, and any solutions that may be achieved will not be supported by the standard Starfleet support contract. I am willing to aid you with your ongoing exploration of ideas, but due to the nature of the issue I am unable to assign it a particularly high priority, nor am I able to use our facilities for testing.

My first recommendation would be to order twelve gravity generators, part number GG1128 in the Starfleet Technical Catalogue (14.7cm x 26.3cm x 1m72cm). While these are officially the same as the standard parts (although considerably more compact), they can be tweaked to successfully interact with Cardassian equipment, as proven by articles in the Deep Space Nine Technical Archives (found in the Memory Alpha databases).

Please attempt this and then come back to me, so we can work on resolving this issue.

Regards,
Lt. Comm. Sponn
