Summary
The Beta XII-A entity (or (*)) searched for a source of hate to feed off of, and found the Solanco, a civilian freighter traveling from Earth to Terok Nor. But the freighter's Captain was in fact a Cardassian undercover operative, sent to retrieve a Founder who had discovered the codes to the Federation's self-replicating mines guarding the wormhole.
While on course for Terok Nor, their disdain for each other caught up with them, and they ended up hallucinating and killing each other before they made it back to the station. As (*) fed off of their hatred, he paid little attention to their course which had led them into a spatial anomaly. Without the Captain's piloting, the ship was engulfed by the anomaly and destroyed, killing all aboard - including (*) .
