β | Popular name for a robot-controlled, space-going weapon first encountered by the ''USS Constellation'', | + | Popular name for a robot-controlled, space-going weapon first encountered by the ''USS Constellation'', COmmodore Matthew Decker commanding. Decker's ship was severely damaged in the encounter. After being beamed to te surface of a nearby planet to escape the failing starship, his crew was killed when the planet itself was destroyed. Decker remained aboard the ship until assistance arrived. |
The ''USS Enterprise'', Captain James T. Kirk commanding, was dispatched to investigate the ''Constellation's'' disappearance, and also encountered the weapon. Taken over by Commodore Decker in accordance with Starfleet regulations, the ''Enterprise'' engaged the Machine unsuccessfully, and was caught in a tractor beam. Commodore Decker attempted to use a shuttlecraft as a bomb, but was killed. Kirk followed up on the idea by setting a self-destruct mechanism on board the ''Constellation'' and exploding it inside the Machine, which became deactivated. Unfortunately, the weapon's course carried it into a nearby sun before a Starfleet salvage operation could be mounted. Thus, all the information available on the Doomsday Machine comes from the report filed by Captain Kirk on stardate 4203.5. | The ''USS Enterprise'', Captain James T.
