The Gravimetric torpedo was a starship weapon created by the Borg Collective and was used by their vessels in combat against enemy starships. The weapon made use of advanced graviton inversion fields to cause gravimetric shear in its target which causes severe structural damage. This made it perfect for use as an offensive weapon when the Borg encountered a race capable of resisting assimilation. (VOY episode: "Dark Frontier") Though they did more damage than a standard photon torpedo, they required far more energy to maintain. (TNG video game: Starfleet Command III)

- A gravimetric torpedo was a type of projectile weapon. In theory, if a gravimetric torpedo was used to detonate a type-6 protostar, it could result in the formation of a wormhole. In 2374, when the Omega Directive came into effect on the USS Voyager, the crew built a 80-isoton gravimetric torpedo by installing a gravimetric charge into a Photon Torpedo casing. The torpedo was used to detonate the harmonic resonance chamber, thereby eliminating the last remaining Omega Molecules.
- In 2374, after having detected the presence of the Omega molecule in the Delta Quadrant, Kathryn Janeway, captain of the USS Voyager, ordered Lieutenant Commander Tuvok and Ensign Harry Kim to outfit a photon torpedo with a gravimetric charge with a yield of fifty-four isotons, to create a gravimetric torpedo with which to destroy the molecule, in accordance with the highly-classified Omega Directive. When further investigation revealed that there may have been hundreds of Omega molecules, however, Janeway ordered the yield increased to eighty isotons, which Harry Kim remarked to be enough to destroy a small planet. Eventually it was discovered that the amount of molecules was too great for even a torpedo to destroy, so Janeway had to resort to using a harmonic resonance chamber to destroy

Eventually it was discovered that the amount of molecules was too great for even a torpedo to destroy, so Janeway had to resort to using a harmonic resonance chamber to destroy nearly fifty percent of the molecules, using the torpedo to destroy the rest. (VOY: "The Omega Directive") According to the video game Star Trek: Starfleet Command III, gravimetric torpedoes were the standard heavy weapon used by the starships of the Borg Collective. The torpedoes utilize an advanced graviton inversion field to cause a gravimetric shear in its target, causing severe structural damage. Gravimetric torpedoes are a special weapon available in the video game Star Trek Online, and have the special effect of creating miniature gravity wells when impacting their targets.
