"The Cytherian probe was a type of probe launched by the Cytherians to find other races and enable them to come to their homeworld, located near the center of the galaxy. One such probe attempted contact with the Argus Array in 2367 but damaged it. When the USS Enterprise arrived to investigate, the probe was able to reprogram Lieutenant Reginald Barclay's brain, briefly enhancing him to bring the ship to the Cytherian homeworld via a subspace distortion. The probe was destroyed with aid from the newly enhanced Barclay after becoming a threat to the Enterprise. (TNG episode: \"the Nth Degree\") More probes can be assumed to exist."@en . .

"The Cytherian probe was a probe built by the Cytherians to seek out other species and bring them to their homeworld. The probe was able to move at impulse and warp velocities without emitting particles or generating a subspace field, indicating its propulsion technology to be utterly alien to the Federation. It was highly resistant to phasers but could be destroyed by a number of maximum-yield photon torpedoes. For more information on this studio model, see TNG studio models."@en .

It was highly resistant to phasers but could be destroyed by a number of maximum-yield photon torpedoes. In 2367, a Cytherian probe unsuccessfully attempted to contact the Argus Array, disabling the Array's computer in the process. When the USS Enterprise-D arrived and sent its shuttle Feynman to investigate, the probe attempted to contact the shuttle computer and its occupants, Geordi La Forge and Reginald Barclay. La Forge was protected by his VISOR, while Barclay was affected. The probe then pursued the Enterprise, necessitating its destruction by a spread of photon torpedoes. After having his brain reprogrammed by the probe, Barclay exhibited greatly increased intelligence and a compulsion to bring the Enterprise to the Cytherian homeworld, thus fulfilling the probe's mission.
