Contents

Background

This machine worked by creating a subspace static that flooded the hyperspace signature of a particular race's hyperdrive technology. This interference built up to such a degree that it became unstable and when the race's hyperdrive was engaged the vessel was destroyed as it opened a hyperspace window making it a potent galaxy wide weapon.

However, there was a side effect when the weapon was activated as it's subspace interference also began to affect Stargates resulting in a buildup of energy in the event horizon leading to a catastrophic explosion.
