I always wondered what ʻOumuamua was up to before it got to our solar system…

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

My favorite origin theory for Oumuamua is that it's a coprolite
Gormagander poop! I'd believe it.
Is that a space dookie?
It's ʻOumuamua! The first confirmed object from beyond our solar system. Super cool! But yeah, also a very convincing poop.
Edit: obviously an artist's rendering, I don't think we have any actual photos.
What is the shai hulud in space from?
One big beam weapon, that runs the length of the ship? Clearly a Wave Motion Gun.
I wanna say this is the basis of one of the paperback books I had as a kid, couldn't tell you the name. But basically someone coopts the Doomsday machine, I think its an El-Aurian, as revenge for the Borg assimilating their people. And then they basically go on a Borg destroying rampage?
Edit - this book https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Vendetta
That was one of the first Star Trek novels I read as a kid. I remember it being a pretty kick ass story.
Same. Don’t remember much about the plot other than the premise. Maybe time to revisit it. Wonder if it’s still at my dad’s house 🤔
I also read this in the first encounter it mentions a sentence like, "the planet killers anti proton beam laughed at the Borg shields..." And that really caught my attention as a child when the Borg seemed nearly impossible to beat.
Exactly. Childhood Star Trek for me was pre Voyager, for the most part - so the Borg were still the big bad enemy “out there”.
What?!
WB is incredibly bad at handling Star Trek IP. This premise alone would have made a kick ass movie
Paramount, but point taken.
