I just watched that episode last night about the Ent-D stumbling upon a shuttle crash victim who is evolving into some energy life state and his goverment is trying to hunt him and others like him down [only watched the end so I can't say what they're called or the name of the episode in question].
Anyway, when the Ent-D meets up with ship from his goverment [who demands he be return for execution] and refuses, the alien ship quickly nuetralize the Ent by some weapon...that seem to suffocate everyone on board.
I don't know why this weapon is never heard from again...becuase it seems scarier than any weapon developed during the Dominion Wars. How does it work?
It was like Darth Vader choking the Emperial officer with a wave of the hand all over again.LOL "I find your lack of faith disturbing"

The device simply removed effects of the the nasal numbing agent everyone on the bridge was using, and they all ended up choking on Data's "new car" smell.
This episode was called 'Transfigurations', and the race in question were called the Zalkonians. How the weapon works? who knows. It was just another annoying example of how the mighty Federation was undone by some previously unknown 'fringe race'. We never heard from them again.

Stupid Fringe races. Data should have punched a full barrage of photon torpedoes into their face the moment everyone started choking. Let's see how those aliens feel choking on some hard vaccume.

Actually, I thought the episode was a good one. We�ve all seen superbeings on the shows, Q for one. This episode showed a race on the brink of another level of existence. One could assume that it was in fact an old race and also a techologically advanced one. One could also assume that the reason we never heard of them again was that they evolved to something not concerned with this material universe. Hence the "loss" of the superweapon.

Yeah it was a 'superweapon' because they were a race of beings on the brink of evolving into another plane of existance... another example of their superior tech was how quickly the ship caught up to the Enterprise - warp 9.9 something... and that seemed to be only some sort of patrol ship.
