A locust is an insect, known for its destructive impact on the natural environment. In a vision experienced by Benjamin Sisko in 2373, he saw a swarm of locusts appear in the skys above Bajor before travelling to Cardassia Prime. (DS9: "Rapture")
- The locusts almost certainly represent the Dominion invading the Alpha Quadrant and heading for Cardassia later in the year.
