So in Episode 1 we find out what was the burn was it was galaxies Supplies of Dylithum Crystals were actually Burned! So who might actually be responsible for that mass attack on the Federation and Warp Capable Race? Only one thought comes to mind Iconians here is why I think they are responsible for the Burn. We know in Cannon that the Iconians were a Powerful race a Level 3 Civilization but what we saw in Star Trek Online witch maybe part Alpha and Beta Cannon as of now depends when we reach 2409; that Iconians never let anyone have there advance tech and other races were Jealous of them and so Bombed there home-world. What if The Iconians saw that Federation reached the level that they once had and decided to Burn the Galaxies supply out of revenge. What your Thoughts who caused the burn

Also, the Iconians after the war in STO have stated that they just want to be left alone for about 1000 years or so. Revenge just for reaching a certain technological level, and only focusing on the Federation alone? No. I don't buy it. The Burn seems to be at least Quadrant wide, if not Galaxy wide. If it was only on the Federation... where's the Klingons? Where's the Romulans? Where's all the other antagonistic races?

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
then again, supernovae have happened countless times in star trek, and none of them ever went independence day before that moron's movie

Perhaps someone tried to augment Omega and it went south, like all mad science experiments involving dangerous compounds. We don't know.
And I think it was stated that the Hobus supernova was not a normal one. It didn't behave like a normal supernova. Outside of STO we don't know why it was different.
So realistically... it boils down to lack of information on the incidents. Hell... even if we do take STO into account, it took how many years to figure out what caused Hobus? Now if we apply that to The Burn... who even has the resources to investigate the cause of an event that basically threw the galaxy back to the wild west?
All we have right now is small pieces of a much bigger puzzle. We can't see the picture based on like... one or two pieces of a 2000 piece puzzle being put together without a reference.
The Iconians backed off after the Midnight battle, though they were still pestering any ships that got near. It was an uneasy ceasefire between most of the Iconians, and I don't know if they would have had the means or the motivation to destroy Dilithium all around. As far as we can speculate, it wasn't a specifically targetted attack, most crystals of Dilithium spontaneously exploded everywhere. Control was definetly not to blame, it happend in about the 31st century.
Anyway, something, un/natural, caused the dilithium crystals to self destruct, taking out most of the ships in the galaxy with them. It had to be something everywhere, and something powerful. Maybe it was the Mycelial Network, maybe it was a science experiment gone awry, maybe it was a rare event occurance, who knows.
The Burn was deadly, crippling, and might not be done yet. We'll find out later in season 3
"Do you really think ripping holes in the universe is a good idea? Not enough for you that the Gorn destroyed two light-years' worth of subspace?"
On review, trilithium can apparently be used for at least one form of FTL, but there are some issues.
"...unless you've got some benamite, and nobody does, I can't use quantum slipstream, tachyon solar sails are slow as s***, and don't get me started on trilithium."
If memory serves me correctly---in the initial premise by BR, or JJA, the Romulan Sun was supposed to be a massive Quadrant effect *essential a wipe out on the Beta sector where Star Fleet resides* was revised much later to be a star system only.
This stems from the fact, that JJA wanted only his brand of 'Trek' to be the only one selling *merchandise wise*, and back then CBS denied that change. What he couldn't do for the film, his padawan *AK* did in the Tv venue years later, ending the Federation as it is, and in the same breath clipping the Temportal Wars.
And yes, the vagueness of the super nova incident is the same thing pulled with the Dill stuff exploding, just drop it in, without further explanation, cause they don't want to explain it in detail. It just happened, accept it and move on. In the movie time, they couldn't get away with it, but in the TV land, they can *as long they have acccess through the IP longevity*
Paramount had a say about that change, but CBS is a different matter altogether, Moonves' revenge still continues through AK...and it is not Cryptic Studio to explain it either, since it is way ahead of the game's own timeline anyway.
And from my bit with Omega, it had nothing to do with it...
Also 09 Star Trek never specified it was Hobus. Just that a Star went nova, and was apparently close enough to threaten Romulus.
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
another Race by Blowing up 75% of the Galaxies supplies seems Illogical to them they are Crystal based Lifeforms and hell they might even Joined the Federation from all this time and could still be part of it
Actually, the Braxton that had a vendetta against Voyager was erased from history. If he has a vendetta against anyone, it would be the Temporal Integrity Commission since young Braxton was arrested for crimes that he was going to commit not for anything he personally did. Considering that Voyager changed the future, then it is unlikely that Braxton would commit any of the crimes his older self did.
Of course the reason Kurtzmans's bunch come up with will probably have something to do with the mushroom realm, like maybe a delayed reaction from the empresses ship blowing up or some equally moronic plot point.
And they forgot something, not only do the Romulans use singularity power on at least some of their ships (and since they have the technology they can always make more using them rather than M/AM), but other civilizations have warp cores that do not use dilithium, like for instance the Akritirians from the episode The Chute.
> The idiotic idea that a very stable mineral used to regulate antimatter streams, not as some kind of fuel or whatever, could spontaneously "burn" would almost certainly take something like a Q to diddle with the laws of physics to accomplish. Of course, I suppose Q could have gotten bored and kicked the anthill just to watch the chaos and angst, but I highly doubt it.

But that’s not what we are told happened.
1) One day dilithium mines dried up
2) Later dilithium went inert.
3) As you said Dil regulates M/AM reactions. If it’s no longer regulating the the M/AM goes boom.
4) It was mentioned the Federation tried other forms of FTL travel but none were as reliable.
