In the first volley, the Enterprise took heavy damage, with shields almost consumed and transporters and communications damaged. Although the Enterprise was more maneuverable, the weapon was extremely fast and gaining on its target. He could only watch, helpless, as the machine consumed the planet below, and his entire crew of 400 men and women killed.Īs the Enterprise held alongside the Constellation, it was suddenly and swiftly attacked by the Planet Killer. Decker tried to beam his crew back up, but the machine attacked again, damaging the transporter. However, after finishing consuming the fourth planet, the machine then turned towards the third planet. Decker himself remained aboard as the last man. Unable to continue the attack or escape, Decker ordered the crew to evacuate to the third planet in the system. In addition, the machine projected a powerful dampening field, cutting off all communications with Starfleet, and somehow deactivating the Constellation's antimatter fuel and leaving the ship nearly powerless. The Constellation sustained heavy damage - the main bridge was destroyed, the phaser banks were exhausted, and the warp drive was damaged. The ship's deflector shields were quickly overwhelmed by the onslaught, and the machine proved completely invulnerable to counterattack, because its hull was composed of pure neutronium. Orbiting the fourth planet was the doomsday machine, firing a beam of pure antiprotons at the planet and consuming the planet's rubble as fuel.Īs the Constellation approached, it was quickly attacked by the planet killer. Proceeding to system L-374 (stardate 1313.1), the ship found three intact planets, and a fourth in the process of breaking up. Around stardate 4202.1, the Constellation, under the command of Commodore Matthew Decker, encountered massive destruction in system L-370 - all seven planets had been destroyed.
