Ovanim

The Ovanim were energy beings that made their home inside the atmosphere of the gas giant Galvan VI. In 2376, the Ovanim destroyed the Starfleet starship USS Orion as it was readying to deploy the experimental Wildfire device, designed to ignite the planet into a star. The Ovanim later made contact with Lieutenant Commander Kieran Duffy of the USS da Vinci, as he acted to deactivate the Wildfire device. Shortly after, the Ovanim were able to communicate with the da Vinci, offering a message of peace, and an apology for the deaths they had accidentally caused on both ships. (SCE eBooks: Wildfire)
