Krieger wave
Krieger waves were a potential energy source developed in the 2360s.
The waves were created by converting a series of energy pulses from a Lambda field generator on the surface of Tanuga IV into a form of radiation by a Krieger wave converter. Krieger waves are capable of melting through duranium, could be harnessed to produce a similar energy signature to that of a hand phaser, and could be reflected off of transporter beams.
Starfleet had much interest in acquiring this technology. However, the scientist responsible denied having developed Krieger waves, since he had become motivated by profit, and had begun developing the technology to be used as a weapon instead.
The same scientist's research on Krieger waves ended in 2366, when he was killed in an explosion that destroyed the space station on which he was conducting his research.
