Cardassian Tactical Missile Weapon

NAME REGISTRY INFO
Dreadnought ATR-4107 Maquis designation for an experimental Cardassian tactical missile weapon that was launched around stardate 46437. The Dreasdnought was programmend to destroy a Maquis munitions base on planetoid Alpha 441 in the Badlands. The weapon carried a charge of a thousand kilograms of matter and an equal amount of antimatter, enough explosive power to destroy a small moon. Dreadnought was controlled by a sophisticated computer system that was highly adaptable, capable of evasion, and equipped with advanced defensive weaponry. The Dreadnought failed to detonate at its target and was subsequently captured by the Maquis, who reprogrammed it to destroy a Cardassian fuel depot on planet Aschelan V. The reprogramming was accomplished by Maquis member B'Elanna Torres. One day after the Dreadnought was launched toward Aschelan V, it was captured by the Caretaker and brought into the Delta Quadrant. In this unfamiliar environment, the Dreadnought's control computer locked onto planet Rakosa V, threatening Rakosa's two million inhabitants. B'Elanna Torres, now aboard the Starship Voyager, intercepted the Dreadnought in early 2372 and was successful in destroying it before it could reach Rakosa V.
