The insectoid ship or pod ship was a ship discovered by the USS Enterprise in 2269 during a star charting mission. Charged with a degree of magnetism, it was found orbiting Questar M-17, apparently destroyed by its crew 300 million years ago.
Energy collecting wands
The ship's designed was much like that of a bee hive. It had hexagonal cells and was structured as a network of pods. It was constructed of an unknown alloy that was harder and lighter than any that the crew of the Enterprise was aware of at that time. The metal was not cast or rolled, but drawn into filaments and spun like a spider's web. Lieutenant Uhura remarked that the design of the ship was touched with grace and beauty. The interior of the pods contained energy accumulating wands that collect energy from motion, sound, light, heat, and magnetism. When an away team beamed over to the ship, the accumulator wands drained their phasers, but left the life support belts, communicators, and tricorders unchanged. Further investigation by the Enterprise crew revealed that the ship had been built by an insectoid species and that the insectoid crew had destroyed the ship to prevent a dangerous magnetic organism from escaping the intense magnetic field of the star.
