We should get an image of Earth getting destroyed by the weapon.-B-101
- Is that necessary? It didn't actually happen... -- Dmsdbo 01:25, 4 Jul 2004 (CEST)
- While that is technically true, we should show just what happened when the weapon destroys a planet, or we could say "it breaks the crust apart".-B-101
We should get an image of the weapon's interior.-B-101

Who came up with the techno-babble on how the weapon works?- B-101 14:42, 8 Oct 2004 (CEST)
- Good question. Section "Mechanics" was added by an anonymous contributor some days ago, and I too think that this is non-canon. I removed that section, especially because this is a featured article:
- The superweapon produces two intersected beams whose focus point creates an energy field in which molecules can no longer stay stable and quickly dissociate from one another. Simply put, electrons cannot be shared, and molecules begin to break up into their original elements. The disruption creates a field in which nearby molecules are also destroyed. Each molecule provides the fodder to destroy adjacent ones. In the absence of more nearby mass, as in the vacuum of space, the field dissipates rapidly.

sounds like the workings of the "Dr. Device" from Ender's Game. Morlock 20:18, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Resemblance to Borg sphere
Doesn't the Xindi Superweapon look like a wierd version of a borg sphere with rings.
- Well... they are both spherical. Whether this was intentionally done by the designers, I have no clue, nor does anyone know whether or not this was intentionally done by the Sphere Builders (who are from the future, after all). The reason for the shape, though, is most likely because the Builders like round objects, as evidenced by their creation of the Delphic Expanse spheres, which, of course, earned them their name. They just like spherical objects... well, except Earth, of course. :P --From Andoria with Love 06:02, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)
A sphere maximizes volume while minimizing surface area - probably a tactical advantage of some kind. Jaz talk | novelsFile:United Federation of Planets logo.png 23:56, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Death Star Wannabe...
Is it just me, or is the Xindi Superweapon an attempt to create a Star Trek Death Star?

That's no fun though.

How large was the final product?
How large in diameter was the Xindi Superweapon? I mean, the finished, final result of the prototype.
- I don't think that was ever revealed, although as you can tell, it was much bigger than the Enterprise and all of the Xindi ships. --From Andoria with Love 19:32, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- It looks like the size of a small moon...
