    I always wondered what ʻOumuamua was up to before it got to our solar system…

      My favorite origin theory for Oumuamua is that it’s a coprolite

        It’s ʻOumuamua! The first confirmed object from beyond our solar system. Super cool! But yeah, also a very convincing poop.

        Edit: obviously an artist’s rendering, I don’t think we have any actual photos.

      One big beam weapon, that runs the length of the ship? Clearly a Wave Motion Gun.

    I wanna say this is the basis of one of the paperback books I had as a kid, couldn’t tell you the name. But basically someone coopts the Doomsday machine, I think its an El-Aurian, as revenge for the Borg assimilating their people. And then they basically go on a Borg destroying rampage?

    Edit - this book https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Vendetta

      That was one of the first Star Trek novels I read as a kid. I remember it being a pretty kick ass story.

        Same. Don’t remember much about the plot other than the premise. Maybe time to revisit it. Wonder if it’s still at my dad’s house 🤔

      I also read this in the first encounter it mentions a sentence like, “the planet killers anti proton beam laughed at the Borg shields…” And that really caught my attention as a child when the Borg seemed nearly impossible to beat.

        Exactly. Childhood Star Trek for me was pre Voyager, for the most part - so the Borg were still the big bad enemy “out there”.

    WB is incredibly bad at handling Star Trek IP. This premise alone would have made a kick ass movie
