  • Omega molecule
rdfs:comment
  • An Omega molecule, also called the Omega particle and Particle 010, was a highly unstable and short lived molecule that was known to exist within the universe. The sheer power of the particle meant that a single stable molecule was capable of generating the same power output as a warp core. Furthermore, it was believed that up to 200 million molecules were sufficient to devastate an entire quadrant within a galaxy. It was believed that if it could be artificially recreated then it would be a powerful substance that was capable of powering an entire civilization.
  • The Omega molecule Ω (also known as Particle 010) is a short-lived, highly unstable molecule, believed to be the most powerful substance in the known universe. Uncontrolled Omega detonations damage subspace in a way that prevents warp-speed travel.
  • To the Borg, Andorians, Vulcans, and even Humans, the Omega molecule is perfection incarnate. The entire structure of the molecule is Newtonian Science in its purest form. Starfleet used Omega molecules to replace matter in warp cores. The particle is self-sustaining, self-replicating, and so self interconnected that if only one of these particles were to destabilize it would create a cascade effect that would make the entire molecular structure unstable and create a subspace-based explosion that would rupture the area of subspace surrounding it at a radius of about thirty light-years and the rupture's effects would last at least six years.
  • An Omega molecule would be so energetic that even a few molecules would, in theory, be able to power a whole civilization. The molecule could be synthesized using boronite ore. A single Omega molecule was synthesized in the late 23rd century by Dr. Ketteract, a Federation scientist. The molecule remained stable for a fraction of a second before it exploded, killing 127 leading Federation scientists, destroying the research station and causing ruptures in subspace extending several light years, making warp travel impossible in the region.
  • Some Federation cosmologists theorized that Omega existed in nature for an infinitesimal period of time at the instant of the Big Bang. Some claimed Omega itself had been the primal source of energy for the Big Bang. Each molecule contained the same energy as a warp core. Theoretically an Omega molecule would be so energetic, that a small chain of molecules would be able to power a civilization.
