Crystalline EntityIn the fictional Star Trek universe the Crystalline entity is an enormous spacefaring life form. The entity first appeared in the Star Trek:TNG episode Datalore. Origin Galactic Born. Appearance The Crystalline entity appeared to be a massive crystal lattice. It was several times the size of the USS Enterprise-D. The Crystalline entity is capable of firing an energy beam from its body that can wipe a planet clean of all organic life in under half an hour. History The early history of the Crystalline entity is unknown, however it would seem that the lifeform is unique in the galaxy. The entity was first encountered by the Federation when Data's brother Lore discovered a way to communicate with it and summoned it to destroy the Omicron Theta colony. Later while Lore was aboard the USS Enterprise-D he summoned the entity once again, this time with the intent to destroy the ship. The attempt was unsuccesful and the entity moved on. It is known that since then the entity consumed 11 more worlds before arriving at Melona IV where the USS Enterprise-D again happened to encounter it. In this encounter, a scientist working aboard the Enterprise, Kila Marr, under the guise of attempting communication with the entity actually destroyed it via harmful transmissions.
