Geordi and Weasly examining damage to duranium after Krieger waves passed through them
Krieger waves were a potential energy source developed by Dr Nel Apgar in the 2360s. The waves were created by converting a series of energy pulses from a Lambda field generator on the surface of Tanuga IV into a form radiation by a Krieger wave converter. Krieger waves are capable of melting through duranium and could be harnessed to produce a similar energy signature to that of a hand phaser. Starfleet had much interest in acquiring this technology but Dr Apgar denied having developed Krieger waves as he had become motivated by profit and developed Krieger waves to be used as a weapon. Apgar's research on Krieger waves ended in 2366 when he was killed in an explosion that destroyed the space station on which he was conducting his research.
Commander Will Riker and Lt Cmdr Geordi La Forge were sent to Apgar's research station to determine whether or not Starfleet should grant Dr Apgar's request for extra dicosilium in his research. (TNG: "A Matter of Perspective").
- The waves were named after Dave Krieger, a scientific consultant to the show in the third and fourth seasons. Ironically, the pseudo-scientific explanation for what the waves actually were ended up on the cutting room floor, and in the finished episode they're simply a MacGuffin. [1]
