However, the rumored emerging advances in torpedo technology (centered around the use of bursite as an explosive catalyst- see below) is another matter altogether. | ||
Evidence gathered by the [[USS CIRCE|USS ''Circe'']] from the wreckage of a destroyed [[Lehrren Alliance|Lehrren]] vessel suggests the possibility of a new, more powerful woren torpedo based around small quantities of [[Bursite|bursite]] dust. Such a weapon, if designed on a large enough scale, could be capable of destroying an entire planet. Though no weapon has been seen and no direct evidence supporting its existence has been found at this time, [[USS CIRCE|''Circe'']] scientists have pointed out that the device used to destroy the Lehrren vessel was far more powerful than necessary, and could very well have been a 'weapon of mass destruction' used in desperation by a crippled Woren ship. | Evidence gathered by the [[USS CIRCE|USS ''Circe'']] from the wreckage of a destroyed [[Lehrren Alliance|Lehrren]] vessel suggests the possibility of a new, more powerful woren torpedo based around small quantities of [[Bursite|bursite]] dust.

However, the new developments that seem to tie the Woren to a renegade group within the [[Romulan Star Empire|Romulan]] make for a threat which could potentially threaten the entire Beta Quadrant, perhaps even the entire galaxy. With the construction of Starbase Foothold, movement through the Goliath wormhole has been strictly regulated, confining the Woren to the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy. | ||

* The Woren Imperium was originally a concept created by Marc Johnson. It has been developed by Ted Swedalla and the rest of the crew of [[DS13|Deep Space 13]]. Most of the recent development has been undertaken by the crew of the [[USS CIRCE|USS ''Circe'']], under the command of Scott Lusby. | * The Woren Imperium was originally a concept created by Marc Johnson.
