Jaradan probe

The Jaradan probe was a long-range probe that was sent by the insect-like Jarada.

The probe encountered the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) and caused a malfunction in the Holodeck safety protocol. This malfunction nearly proved fatal when 20th century Historian Whalen was shot by Felix Leech of the Dixon Hill series. 

The damage to the ship's holodeck caused by the probe was later repaired by the Bynars when the Enterprise arrived at Starbase 74 several weeks later.
