Lost a weapon of mass destruction or an outlawed prototype? Then drop on by Daystrom Station.

Daystrom is a name connected to Star Trek right back to its second season and The Ultimate Computer. A key Federation scientist, Richard Daystrom lent his name to an Institute where synthetic life was developed as well as numerous other experimental technologies.
But one part of his legacy was out in the depths of space, Daystrom Station. Viewers had already seen a secret Section 31 base as part of the second season of Discovery, yet during Picard's third season it would be revealed that they were in possession of a lot more.
The location of Project Proteus, the station was used for experimentation on Changeling prisoners of war. Changeling Vadic would return to the station following her escape and steal portal weapons that would be used against the Federation as a distraction from the true purpose of their infiltration, the theft of Picard's biological body. Doctor Altan Soong had sent it there to uncover whether Irumodic Syndrome was the true cause of the admiral's death.
Investigating, Worf, Raffi, and Riker managed to gain access to the station and discovered that portal weapons were just the very pointy tip of the black site's metaphorical iceberg. Alongside encountering visions of crows, Professor Moriarty and a rendition of Pop Goes the Weasel, the trio would take a walk past some of the most potent items ever to have existed within the known universe. From bodies in stasis to deadly machines, here are just some of those artifacts.
