Chroniton generator
A chroniton generator was a device which could produce a form of radiation with temporal properties.

In 2374, the crew of Deep Space 9 developed a plan whereby a chroniton generator would be utilized to force a Prophet and a Pah-wraith out of the bodies of Major Kira and Jake Sisko, respectively, in order to save the station from being destroyed in a battle between the two. Captain Sisko, Jake's father, overruled the plan, believing the the battle between the two, referred to as "the Reckoning" in Bajoran mythology, must be allowed to play out. As the battle was taking place, however, Kai Winn, in an attempt to subvert Sisko's role as Emissary of the Prophets, covertly activated the generator, putting a stop to the battle. ()
