A Chroniton is a subatomic particle with temporal properties. Although safe for humanoids, chronitons can be fatal to lifeforms which exist outside of time, such as the beings known to the Bajorans as "Prophets," and their foes, the Pah-wraiths. (DS9: "The Assignment")

| - A Chroniton is a subatomic particle with temporal properties. Although safe for humanoids, chronitons can be fatal to lifeforms which exist outside of time, such as the beings known to the Bajorans as "Prophets," and their foes, the Pah-wraiths. (DS9: "The Assignment")
- Chronitons and antichronitons are used in the Star Trek franchise whenever the plot includes something about time travel. The particles can be used for many things including time travel and weapons. In Star Trek: Voyager, chronitons were heavily used throughout the many seasons for both offensive and defensive reasons. The particle is used as technobabble in Futurama, where it has the ability to either revert someone's body to a more youthful state or progress them in age. Professor Farnsworth used chronitons to age his mutant supermen into adults in "Time Keeps on Slippin'", but the method of harvesting them threatens the stability of the entire universe with "time leaks" causing random "skips". They also appeared in the episode "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles", when the Planet Express crew were accidentally exposed to chronitons causing them to regress in age. Chronitons were also mentioned in the cartoon network show Teen Titans when the villain Slade threatened to use a chroniton detonator within the city. Supposedly, this device destroys all the chronitons in a given area, hence stopping that area's progression through time, literally stopping time forever. In the computer game shooter Jets'n'Guns, the most powerful weapon is the Chroniton Rifle, which also inflicts damage even through terrain. The Chroniton Rifle is almost unaffected by overheating so it can be fired continuously.
- Chronitons were produced by the normal operation of Romulan cloaking devices, and were often associated with the phenomenon of time travel. The Orb of Time was known to produce a surge of chronitons when in operation. The temporal transporter utilized by the crew of the 29th century timeship Relativity produced a detectable chroniton flux of .003. (TNG: "The Next Phase" ; DS9: "Past Tense, Part I", "Trials and Tribble-ations"; VOY: "Relativity") The Borg utilized chroniton fields, projected throughout a Borg vessel via specially-designed conduits, to compensate for the extreme temporal stress of a transwarp conduit. (VOY: "Shattered")
- Chronitons are a type of sub-atomic particle which are linked to time. Chronitons are often associated with temporal anomalies and instances of time travel. They do occur naturally, but are rare. In 2365 Kori and Cumin, farmer's children on The Armada, found a Romulan torpedo, within which they found a quantity of chroniton particles. They hatched a plan to have to use the particles as a crop treatment to accelerate the growth of crops in The Armada, thus giving them more free time. They took this plan to their parents who agreed and secretly treated their crops. Unfortunately the children were not satisfied to simply get some more free time and sabotaged the chroniton formula to make it destroy the crops. This led to massive crop failures and Starfleet calling in the USS Enterprise-D, the crew of which soon discovered what the farmers had done. Years later a Cardassian colony was forced to abandon when its food supplies were contaminated with chroniton radiation. (TNG comic: "Space Seeds") Chronitons can injure and even kill the Prophets and the Pah-wraith, entities who exist out of time. In 2373, a Pah-wraith inhabiting Keiko O'Brien forced Miles O'Brien to fire a chroniton burst at the Bajoran wormhole from Deep Space 9. The following year, Winn Adami used chronitons to force out a Prophet and a Pah-wraith which were inhabiting Kira Nerys and Jake Sisko and stop the Reckoning. (DS9 episodes: "The Assignment", "The Reckoning", DS9 - Millennium novels: The Fall of Terok Nor, Inferno)
