Omega reactor
From FEInfobase
Medium sized Energy reactor capable of producing large amounts of omega particles and then chain reacting them to produce a large explosion capable of damaging or even destroying subspace in a sector wide radius.Utilized after authorization of the New Omega directive is given.
Chemical reactor designed to synthesize Omega molecules from raw boronite ore.Installed on select capital ships and star fleet space stations in the 2390's as a last resort weapon to stop the borg.Once it was determined a borg force would overwhelm a Star fleet installation or defence line the omega directive would be given.Upon recepit of the directive the ship or installation with the reactor would immediatly initialize start up.22 seconds after the initial start a massive chain reaction would be initiated causing massive sector if not quadrant wide disruptions in subspace effectively stopping all warp and transwarp travel into and out of the area.As of 2404 the New Omega directive had never been issued.The only known solution to omega's effects on FTL travel in an effectived area is the newly developed Quantum slipstream drive.
