I'm interested in learning more about the Omega Particle as revealed in the Star Trek TV shows (TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT). What shows deal with the Omega Particle, and what is the recommended viewing order?

I would like to create an "Omega Particle play list" in Netflix/Prime and binge watch. It would be great if you can include season/episode numbers so that they are easier to navigate to for watching.

The first episode to mention and deal with the Omega particle was Star Trek: Voyager S4 E21 The Omega Directive. No subsequent movies or shows deal with it, but S7 E19 Q2 mentions it in passing. No additional information there.

In non-canon sources, Star Trek: Online uses it as a plot point for the Dyson Spheres and Iconian Gateways.

  • Good point, but only in passing... I'll update my answer though. – Derek May 14 '16 at 5:59
  • I thought I remember the Omega particle being a plot point in an ENT episode? – iMerchant May 14 '16 at 6:03

    @iMerchant I don't recall anything of the sort either. If you have a scene in mind though, you might be mixing it up with something else... – Izkata May 14 '16 at 7:38

    @iMerchant Archer did time travel a few times, but that all involved the Temporal Cold War, which was in 13 episodes. Fluidic space was only entered once, in VOY - and the Borg were temporary allies who brought Voyager there. But the ENT Enterprise did face off against the Borg once. – Izkata May 14 '16 at 17:51

    @iMerchant: "Archer going back/forward in time and nuking the Omega particle in fluidic space to kill the Borg" - sounds like over-the-top fan fiction to me. – O. R. Mapper May 15 '16 at 10:46
