Nerst generator

A nerst generator was a component of the USS Antares (23rd century)'s drive systems. The generator was shielded by a series of baffle plates.

When Captain Ramart of the Antares tried to contact Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) and warn him of Charles Evans, Evans used his psionic powers to remove a warped baffle plate from the generator which subsequently destroyed the Antares.
