'''Theragen'' is actually a bio-weapon developed by the [[Klingons]]. At full-strength it is a nerve agent that is extremely lethal, but at much smaller doses, it can temporarily deaden certain nerve inputs to the brain, having a "calming" effect on an insane and/or abnormally enraged person. This "non-lethal" use was first used on the crew of the [[USS Enterprise]] during a long stay in a section of space that had just such of an extreme maddening effect on the crew, slowly rendering them all insane. [[Leonard McCoy|Doctor McCoy]], the ship's Chief Medical Officer, discovered how to use the Theragen dirivitive to "calm" the crew long enough to retrieve the Captain from a dimensional rift in space and return the ship to normal space.
