A gamma radiation scan

Gamma radiation is the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation, encompassing the shortest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.


The Federation used gamma rays to re-crystallize dilithium, used in a warp core. This energy could be measured by gamma-ray spectrometer.


  • When Doctor Timicin tried to re-vitalize the sun Praxillus, one of the side affects was a seventeen hundred percent rise in gamma radiation levels.
  • The Trialan sun gave off gamma bursts shortly before Meridian shifted from one dimension into another. This was an indicator of an anomaly in the sun's nuclear fusion cycle.
  • Borg weaponry produces Gamma radiation. The Brunali homeworld had residual gamma radiation due to numerous Borg incursions.
