Tantalus field

Marlena Moreau stands ready on the Tantalus field in 2267.

In the mirror universe, the tantalus field was a 23rd century device found aboard the ISS Enterprise (NCC-1701), which could be used to monitor and eliminate enemies from existence with the touch of a button.

Captain James T. Kirk owed his success against a number of enemies to the tantalus field, and the unknown alien scientist whose lab he plundered for it. The field was apparently a secret from everyone except Marlena Moreau, and to others it seemed that Kirk's enemies had a tendency to "simply disappear." The field was used by Moreau to save the "original" Kirk when he was trapped in the mirror universe.(TOS: "Mirror, Mirror")

In a story planned for an unrealized William Shatner guest appearance on Star Trek: Enterprise, it would have been revealed that the Tantalus field did not kill its victims, but transported them to a different time. In the story, it would have been revealed that, sometime after the events of "Mirror, Mirror," Mirror-Spock had used the device on Mirror-Kirk, depositing him on a remote planet in the 2120s, where he would have later been discovered by the crew of the NX-01 in the 2150s.
