Federation Other Ships Database - Soliton Wave-Rider


History:
  A small unpiloted wave-rider vehicle that was sent from Bilana III to Lemma II, where a scattering field would dissipate the supspace soliton wave.
TNG "New Ground" ; Star Trek Encyclopedia II
Possibly an experimental craft or of modified design, it was used to test the Soliton Wave in its first large-scale demonstration run. The unmanned ship sent telemetry to the trailing Enterprise, but it was destroyed by shearing forces.
