A massive and unique lifeform, delicate in appearance while blindly and insatiably feeding off the life-force of beings and even planetary resources. The [[ma:Crystalline Entity|Crystalline entity]] could destroy a world in just minutes with its pulverizing energy-beam conversion process, working much like an electromagentic collector. Somehow contacted by [[ma:Data|Data's]] brother [[ma:Lore|Lore]] in 2338, it is known to have wiped out the [[ma:Omicron Theta colony|Omicron Theta colony]] and its 114 scientists, then 11 more worlds ending with [[ma:Melona IV|Melona IV]] until its destruction nearby in 2368. Ironically, just before its death it showed signs of sentience and understanding the different orders of life-energy it had been consuming. It is not known if others of this species exist
