The PPK Beta was an Undine bioship, a proto-planet killer in Species 8472 service in the 2410s decade. The Beta was grown within Shipyard Beta at Bubbling Bay. (STO - Task Force Operation mission: "Viscous Cycle")
Service history and disposition[]
In the year 2410, the three Undine shipyards at Bubbling Bay were growing proto-planet killers. As a fully-grown Undine planet killer, the PK Gamma, was the largest bioship among the Vila-, Dromias- and Nicor-class bioships present at Bubbling Bay. (STO - Task Force Operation mission: "Viscous Cycle")
Because of the threat Undine planet killers posed to the galaxy in the primary universe, Admiral Tuvok of 8472 Counter-Command organised an allied task force operation to attack the proto-planet killers in their native fluidic space. "Operation: Viscous Cycle" included a five-ship Khitomer Alliance task force. (STO website: Season 9 Dev Blog #17)
A blue quantum singularity rift had opened in the vicinity of Shipyard Gamma, potentially allowing the Gamma and the proto-planet killers to enter the galaxy. PPK Beta was growing inside Shipyard Beta and came under attack from Tuvok's task force after they had dispatched PPK Alpha at Shipyard Alpha. The allied task force destroyed the defending bioships, including newly hatched Undine larval ships, while a commando infiltrated Shipyard Beta, eliminating the second proto-planet killer before heading to over to Shipyard Gamma.
