What does the orange triangle mean?

I would really like to know what the orange triangle on the target reticle represents, sometimes it points up, sometimes down and is also seen in ground combat. Google has been no help and I have asked in fleet and in a Facebook group and nobody seems to know, I'm hoping some bright spark in here will know as it's really starting to bug me.
Thanks!Came for the spaceship, stayed to mine rocks.

The up arrow ui icon indicates a 'special-class' enemy that has increased damage and health -- I hesitate to give an estimate but I'd wager roughly double normal values. The down arrow indicates the opposite. The whole system is used pretty sparingly.0

it's the targets relative power level, I think. if I remember correctly down is a weaker then normal, up is stronger.
at least I remember that being a thing in sto but it's been so long since it's mattered I'm not sure.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Relative level is the Green 0 in this case, meaning on par level wise. Red numbers would mean higher level for the enemy (which STO usually doesn't do on purpose,) negative green (maybe yellow? rarely happens) numbers for lower than you (usually because you leveled while on the same map).
That should be on the white circle thing in the center top element, I think it's not showing since the enemy is out of range.
Got it. Found the white triangle on the center targeting element when in range for targeted shield facing.
While on a patrol I have the same orange triangle on the center targeting element (PC). Up for a boss (named?) ship, down on others. Seems to be missing on some smaller enemy ships.
