History[]
In 2384, Asencia plotted the course of the USS Protostar to a restricted sector near Gamma Serpentis. (PRO: "Mindwalk")
She activated the living construct when she contacted the USS Dauntless, allowing its corrupting code to spread to the Starfleet vessel and to the other ships that responded to its distress signal. Despite assistance from the Federation's allies, including the Klingons, Ferengi, and Gorn, the construct continued to corrupt Starfleet's vessels as they destroyed themselves and their allies. Realizing the situation would otherwise end with Starfleet's annihilation and seeing no other way to remove the construct, the Protostar's crew elected to destroy the ship. Under the command of Hologram Janeway, Protostar was destroyed along with the construct, ending the signal. (PRO: "Supernova, Part 1", "Supernova, Part 2")
