In the mirror universe, the Tantalus Field is an alien device that vaporizes victims at the touch of a button. James Kirk used it to become captain of the ISS Enterprise. (TOS episode: "Mirror, Mirror")
Spock took possession of the device upon his assassination of Kirk and used it to eliminate his political enemies, including a mutinous Uhura and Empress Hoshi Sato III. (TOS novel: The Sorrows of Empire)
