Despite this, David Marcus included protomatter in the matrix of the Genesis Device as it was the only way to solve certain problems.

A soliton wave generator produces a large energy wave which impacts the vehicle, accelerating it to warp speed. Another generator at the opposite end of the trip disperses the wave to bring the object back to rest. Unfortunately, the first test of the system went disastrously wrong when the wave grew massively in energy, to the point where it threatened to devastate the planet on which the second generator was mounted.277	New Ground

Trilithium295	Substance which can act as a fusion inhibitor. In theory a quantity of trilithium is capable of stopping all nuclear fusion in a star, producing a shockwave which will then destroy the entire associated solar system - this formed the basis of Dr. Soran's star-destroying weapon295 and the Dominion device intended for use against the Bajoran sun in 2373.199 Trilithium is apparently somewhat different from trilithium resin295, which is a highly unstable and explosive substance produced as a waste product in the warp core of a Galaxy class starship.65 Trilithium can also form the basis of a more conventional explosive - the Akritirian terrorist group called Open Sky used such a bomb to destroy the Laktivia recreational facility in 2373. The Trilithium was produced from paralithium obtained from an Akritirian vessel.296	Star Trek : Generations
Trilithium resin65	Trilithium resin is produced as a waste product by the warp core of some Federation starships, including the Galaxy class.
