Object
Ferengi Missiles (Goss's Provocation)
The Ferengi missiles tied to DaiMon Goss's staged wormhole provocation: a set of ship- or shuttle-launched projectile weapons referenced across scenes and including a specific torpedo fired toward the wormhole that was intercepted by the Enterprise. Collectively these ordnance assets function as tactical leverage in Goss's gambit and the immediate cause of the tactical alarm on the Enterprise bridge.

Purpose
To serve as projectile weapons and tactical leverage—an overt threat intended to coerce political compliance and intimidate opposing parties by menacing destruction if demands are unmet.
Significance
Acting as the centerpiece of a manufactured crisis, the missiles drive the political theater: they create leverage over Premier Bhavani, enable Devinoni Ral’s manipulative gambit, and when exposed as staged by Troi, catalyze moral fallout and a sudden shift to genuine tactical urgency when a real shuttle threat appears.
