Editing Tkon Nanosphere

The [[Tkon Nanosphere]] was a probe-like device built by the ailing [[Tkon|Tkon Empire]] 60,000 years ago. Built on [[Dovek II]], the device was intended to be used to seed specialized nanites into the atmosphere of that planet.  The device was comprised of several high-density alloys including [[Iridium]]. It was powered by an unknown power source that emitted [[Chroniton]]s and [[Seylerions]]. This allowed the device to create a [[Temporal Vortex]] through which it could travel through time and space. Those nanites would then begin the process of breaking down high-energy radioactive particles that were bombarding the planet from the remnants of the [[Supernova]] that destroyed the [[Tkon Empire]]. It was designed and created by the Tkon scientist [[D'askto]]. The sphere was controlled by a complex Advanced reasoning network , known as [[Adrene]]. It was built by D'askto by using his own neural engrams as a basis. It's purpose was to allow the device to learn, adapt and adjust it's actions ''on-the-fly''.

In 2414, the [[Borg]] sent an expedition to [[Dovek II]] led by a [[Borg Drone|drone]] named [[Volus]]. His mission was to locate and recover the ancient device with the hopes of using it to seed [[nanoprobe]]s into a [[planet]]'s atmosphere, thus accelerating the process of [[Assimilation]].  

Volus was a firm believer in [[Borg Philosophy]] and as such was granted a great deal of individuality by the [[Borg Queen]].  Only the arrival of the [[USS Boudicca]] and the [[USS Rosenante]] prevented his success.
