Ultritium - Notes

Universe :	Prime Timeline
Name :	Ultritium [1]

A powerful explosive. In 2265 Cervantes Quinn claimed to have rigged a cargo he delivered to Kessik IV with several kilos of ultritium. [1]

As a measure of how powerful an ultritium explosion could be, Chief O'Brien expected ninety isotons of enriched ultritium to be sufficient to destroy a Dominion facility and everything else within eight hundred kilometres of the detonation point. [2]

In 2346, Kira Nerys planted a bomb made from ultritium resin aboard Terok Nor in an attempt to assassinate Gul Dukat. [3]

In 2365, Antedian assassins wore robes lined with ultritium in an attempt to bomb a conference on Pacifica. The attempt failed when Lwaxana Troi read the assassin's minds and exposed the plan. [4]

Romulan scout ships used ultritium-based devices for self-destruct; in 2366 Geordi La Forge detected traces of ultritium residue on a destroyed Romulan ship on Galornden core. [5]

Ultritium-283 was carried by the Enterprise-D, classed as an industrial chemical explosive for use in mining applications. It was intended to be used for precision-charge patterns, detonated with standard microwave pulse ignition devices. Ultritium-342 was also carried, described as a high-yield version of standard industrial ultritium and intended to be used in terraforming applications, when the use of nuclear explosives are not desirable. [6]

The Dominion was mining ultritium from an asteroid in the Gamma Quadrant. The facility was later converted into a prison. [7]

Dominion forces used ultritium concussion shells as a surface bombardment weapon. [8]

In 2374 Captain Sisko used an enriched ultritium explosive to destroyed the Dominion's primary ketracel-white storage facility. [2]

When Captain Picard rebelled against Starleet in 2375 he took seven metric tons of ultritium explosives aboard the Captain's yacht. [9]
