10 Most Messed Up Deaths In Star Trek: Lower Decks

10. The Genesis Of Locarno

In 1982, audiences were treated to the awesome power of the Genesis Device. As it detonated, exploding the USS Reliant, Khan, and any remaining survivors aboard, it began to reshape all of the matter in the Mutara Sector while the Enterprise escaped at warp. It was a beautiful sight, watching a new planet form in the stars, even if it didn't have a long shelf-life.

Jumping forward one hundred years and, wouldn't you know it, the Ferengi had managed to get their hands on this technology, despite bans from Earth to Qo'Nos. Tom Locarno, disgruntled with his place in society, sought the means to bolster his 'Nova Fleet' and hold the quadrant to ransom.

He acquired a Ferengi Genesis Device as insurance, but activated it during a fight with Lt. Jnr. Grade Mariner, having badly misjudged his former Academy classmate. While she was beamed away, he attempted to deactivate the device, only to discover that the Ferengi had installed a paywall in front of any deactivation commands. Out of time and out of latinum, Locarno was vaporised in the resulting explosion, though it didn't end there. His atoms, molecules, and every part of him were reshaped and reformed, becoming the basis of a new world - Locarno.

While an explosion to the face isn't the best way to go, having your atoms reform into a world that would be used for refugees to resettle is, actually, a bit of a consolation.
