Object
Triclenidil
A little-known engineered biochemical compound that registers primarily as trace molecular signatures and microscopic residues in forensic assays rather than a bulk material. In the observation lounge its name crackles off Beverly Crusher’s lips; sensors and PADD readouts show faint chromatographic peaks and cellular binding markers. Characters react with alarm as the compound’s profile links altered neural pathways and electromagnetic shielding to Roga Danar’s physiology.

Purpose
To biochemically reconfigure cellular and neural function and to shield or alter electrical impulse transmission—used as a conditioning agent to create surgically or chemically enhanced soldiers.
Significance
Serves as the decisive forensic clue that reframes Roga Danar from lone fugitive to product of state engineering; its identification forces moral and political reckoning with Angosia and shifts Starfleet’s response from manhunt to inquiry into institutional culpability.
