Ketteract was a 23rd century Federation physicist who synthesized a single Omega molecule.
Intending to create a new energy source, Ketteract was assigned a classified research station in the Lantaru sector where he successfully synthesized a single Omega molecule particle. Unfortunately, it only existed for a fraction of a second before destabilizing, killing Ketteract and 126 of his research colleagues. As a secondary effect, it also ripped open the fabric of subspace and made the sector impassable to standard warp drive travel. (VOY: "The Omega Directive")
This character was only mentioned in dialogue.
Ketteract was also mentioned in Star Trek: Legacy and in Star Trek: Year Four - The Enterprise Experiment, where Spock described him as "quite renowned for his experimentation with the time waves associated with the Guardian of Forever."
