Changes: Temporal disruptor

Revision as of 14:27, 22 June 2014

AT: "xx"

A temporal disruptor was a 29th century disruptor bomb, designed to demolecularize its target by fracturing spacetime.

Such a device was used to destroy the USS Voyager in 2372, planted aboard the ship by Captain Braxton, a 29th century Starfleet officer who held Captain Janeway and her crew responsible for his own forced retirement. Utilizing a force-3 temporal disruptor, which was designed to fracture spacetime within a radius of 150 meters, he planted the device out of phase, which precluded the possibility of the Voyager crew disarming the device through conventional means.

Voyager is destroyed by a temporal disruptor

The disruptor was activated in 2375, resulting in a number of temporal distortions occurring throughout the ship, ultimately leading to its destruction. The timeline in which these events occurred, however, was negated when Captain Janeway and Seven of Nine were able to change history by stopping Braxton from planting the disruptor in the first place.

-A '''temporal disruptor''' was a type of [[weapon]] that originated in the [[29th century]]. The disruptor destroyed its target by fragmenting and distorting the [[space]]-[[time]] around it to the point where the target could no longer hold cohesion.  A small device only about forty [[centimeter]]s long, the disruptor had an effective range of about 150 [[meter]]s.

The disruptor was activated in [[2376]] and used to destroy ''Voyager'' with all hands aboard. [[Seven of Nine]], having been recruited by a version of Braxton before he succumbed to temporal psychosis, was able to successfully change history, and avert the explosion. ({{VOY|Relativity}})
