Nahanas

Nahanas was a rogue comet that travelled through space near Bajor in the 2370s. Its crust was composed of ultritium and its surface was marked with jagged crystalline rock formations.

In January 2377, Taran'atar, while heading to Harkoum aboard the USS Euphrates, placed the runabout's microtorpedo ordinance on the comet's surface. He also transported Prynn Tenmei's combadge down to the comet, which the crew of the USS Defiant (NX-74205) (II) detected. When they lowered their shields and attempted to beam Prynn aboard, the explosives detonated, destroying the comet. The Defiant was badly damaged by the debris from Nahanas, leaving them disabled and adrift. They were unable to continue their pursuit of Taran'atar for several hours.
