Gravitic mine

A powerful remnant from a forgotten war. These stealth mines are a threat to starships from any world. This is very high technology that is generally even beyond the ADF. 
Near as limited study can tell the gravitic mine collapses in a momentary singularity warping and twisting the structure of the target ship, often fatally. 
No one knows who placed the mines or when, but they have been reported all over space as the Ane know it as far back as anyone can remember. They are very robust. They might even date from the Slaver-Ticup war a billion years ago.
It is noted that Guinan's ship was damaged by a gravitic mine. The twisting of the advanced material space frame is the main thing that keeps us from fixing it.
