Krieger wave converter

A Krieger wave converter was a technology artifact, developed in the 2360s by a Dr. Nel Apgar at the Tanuga IV research station.

The converter was essentially a set of mirrors and reflective coils, which converted Krieger waves into existence by focusing energy pulses from a field generator.

On the surface of Tanuga IV, one of these generators was aimed at the research station.

It was physically located on the planet itself, since a minimum distance of 5,000 kilometers was required for the field to work.

The wave converter was originally intended to provide a new energy source.

Instead, Dr. Apgar had different motives, and planned to see the converter as a weapon, which would have been more profitable to him.

After refusing to provide more materials to Apgar to create a bigger machine, Apgar tried to kill the Federation representative.

However, instead of killing his intended target, Dr. Apgar killed himself instead, and his entire station exploded.
