Duras Faction's Triceron-Based Sabotage Explosive Device

A triceron-based explosive device planted by the Duras faction near Duras's retainers in K'mpec's quarters. The device detonates mid-ceremony during the ritual confirmation of the chancellor's death, using a molecular-decay detonator (Romulan technology) that is too advanced for typical Klingon use. The blast hurls Picard, K'Ehleyr, Gowron, Duras, and others off their feet, engulfs the room in smoke and debris, and shatters the tense standoff into pandemonium. Geordi La Forge and Data later dissect the device in Enterprise’s Main Engineering, confirming its Romulan origin and forensic evidence of external sabotage.
