[NOVEL]

"Thadiun Okona is selling a Husnock super-weapon to the Orion Syndicate when they are attacked by Nausicaan raiders, who steal the weapon"

The Nausicaans steal a power generator from the independent scientific research station, Stonekettle Station, on Skarda. This means the station's shield has failed and it will be melted by the sunlight when the day cycle begins. Geordi La Forge leads a team who establish a temporary shield to protect a small part of the station while the generator is recovered.

The Enterprise follows the Nausicaans back to their homeworld: It was devastated during the Borg Invasion of 2381, with the Federation failing to answer their distress calls or offer help afterwards. They are attempting to use the generator to repair the ecological damage. After a brief battle, the Nausicaans retreat to Skarda and tie the Husnock weapon into its systems, creating a planet-destroying weapon that they aim at Earth.

The next example at the bottom references antimatter which may be connected to the weapon:

According to Montgomery Scott, W.C. Fields held that all boys should be raised by lion tamers in the Gobi Desert. (TOS comic: "A World Gone Mad")

A young Khan Noonien Singh tunneled out of an Augment facility in December 1979 and escaped into the desert, but he was caught by Doctor Heisen. In August 1985, the Augments killed their masters and escaped into the desert. (TOS - Khan comic: "Issue 1")
