10 MORE Star Trek Villains Who Killed The Most

In our previous list we discussed an entry that raised some eyebrows - Annorax. Did he actually deserve a spot on the rankings, as the giant reset button was hit? Well, we're here to tell you that not only have we NOT answered that, but we're introducing another entry just like it here.

Dr. Tolian Soran was the mad scientist who would sacrifice anything and anyone so that he could return to the Nexus. His research involved the destruction of large stellar bodies, something that would have immediate and deadly results for anyone too close by. While the destruction of the Veridian star was undone by the efforts of Picard and Kirk, that did nothing for any of the victims of Soran beforehand.

Soran's research into trilithium saw him allying with the Duras Sisters. This in turn would lead to the deaths of Romulans and Federation citizens, along with with the destruction of the Sisters' own Bird-of-Prey, and its crew.

This is yet another reason why Picard and Kirk going back to that one bloody moments on the surface of Veridian III makes even less sense - if Kirk had simply gone back to the Enterprise-B, he could have stopped Soran long before any of it happened.
