Quantum implosion
A quantum implosion is a phenomenon which can halt all nuclear fusion within a star, leading to the star's subsequent destruction.

In 2371, Tolian Soran launched a trilithium weapon into the Amargosa star, initiating a quantum implosion. The implosion created a level 12 shock wave which destroyed everything in the system. Soran later attempted to trigger a similar implosion in the Veridian star; he was thwarted by Captains Kirk and Picard.

In an alternate timeline, Soran was successful in destroying the Veridian star and wiping out the inhabitants of the Veridian system. ()
