Injector Assembly One

The Injector Assembly One was a Son'a collector in service in the 24th century. The purpose of this unique starship was for collecting metaphasic radiation from the ring system of Ba'ku. Before the ship was constructed, Ru'afo had done multiple, extensive tests of the basic premises of the device to ensure that a large scale model would work.

The collector was designed to launch an injector that would produce a cascading thermolitic reaction within the rings, allowing the collector to harvest the radiation that emanated from them. A major side effect of this process, however, was that the planet would be rendered uninhabitable for generations.

With the assistance of the Federation, the Son'a were able to finally deploy the collector in 2375. Fortunately, the collector was disabled moments before it could launch the injector when Jean-Luc Picard, Worf, and Subahdar Gallatin commandeered Ru'afo's flagship and deactivated the collector. However, Ahdar Ru'afo managed to transport aboard the collector shortly thereafter and raise its shields. Picard, nevertheless, managed to beam aboard by transporting between the shield generators and reactivate the collector's self-destruct sequence. Picard was beamed away seconds later by the USS Enterprise-E, but Ru'afo was killed when the collector exploded.
