"If a ship had the ability to generate enough energy to to maintain
the cloaking device as well as defensive shields, the nullifier cores
could neither mask all of the erergy required to accomplish this, nor
the interference created by defensive shields. In addition, the
spatial distortions created by defensive shields would mean that the
shield itself would have to exist within the cloaking field, and the
larger the cloaking field is, the more energy is required to generate
it. These reasons completely eliminate the possibility of using
defensive shields."

oops, looks like conquest isnt cannon...wait a sec, dont know for sure
if this text is cannon.  Oh well.

Still the base website is pretty cool:
