Brahma-Shiva

The Brahma-Shiva was an ancient terraforming device that was capable of quickly transforming worlds to programmed specifications, similar to the Genesis Device of Project Genesis. It was named by Noah Powell.

In 2382 the Federation Starship Titan encountered a Brahma-Shiva device while on a research mission into mysterious worlds near Gorn territory. A Gorn fleet had captured the device and were planning to use it to terraform the planet Hranrar to create a new world capable of supporting a hatchery for the Gorn Warrior Caste. The device was disabled by a member of the Gorn Technical Caste named S'syrixx. S'syrixx had come to believe that the Brahma-Shiva device was, at the very least, a reincarnation of the Great Egg Bringer S'Yahazah.

Due to the danger posed by the Brahma-Shiva, Captain Riker authorized an away team to the device in order to destroy it. The Away Team - including Tuvok, Ranul Keru, Xin Ra-Havreii, Qur Qontallium, SecondGen White-Blue, and S'syrizz - beamed aboard to download the artificial intelligence and then to detonate antimatter explosives. The Brahma-Shiva consciousness stopped them and disabled not only a memory pack but White-Blue during the memory download. Commander Tuvok decided to Mind meld with the device in order to save the intelligence.

The Brahma-Shiva was destroyed shortly afterward when the Warship S'alath under renegade Captain [[Gog'resssh] collided with it.
