Bendes Kettaract

Bendes Ketteract was a Human scientist in the 23rd century.

In the early 2260s, Dr. Ketteract began performing research into the creation and application of omega molecules. By 2268, Ketteract had gained the support of Section 31 and was ready to begin active experiments to create omega molecules, and he arranged for him and his research team to be taken a covert research station located in the Lantaru Sector.

By the end of the year, Ketteract had managed to synthesize two omega molecules, however once they were synthesized they became unstable and generated a massive subspace shockwave. Thanks to the last minute efforts by the crew of the USS Enterprise the destructive energy was absored by the station's cloaking device, but the shockwave was still able to seriously damage subspace and prevent the use of warp drive in the sector, and cut off two Federation colonies from support.
