When trying to use this special weapon on a ship protected by a Corbomite Reflector, the effect will be reflected back to the casting ship. The Shield Remodulation does not protect from it. The Phase Cloak does.
Be aware: In version 1.1 of Star Trek: Armada the Polaron Torpedo does select the same target for all ships of the group, if used simultaneously (all ships in the same control group). So the selection of the system may be random, but the same for all involved ships. If you select the attacking ships one by one and use the Polaron Torpedo, multiple systems may be affected. In version 1.2 it is not necessary to do that. The distribution of systems is random for every single torpedo.
Poleron vs. Polaron
Although the weapon is labeled Poleron Torpedo in various files, it is labeled Polaron Torpedo in-game and will be named as such in this Wiki.
