The Feringi, yeah, it was PIS but doesn't really reflect the ships fortitude (or lack of). Yeah, generations ending was absurd, but it did showcase something.

Albeit I am not sure what instances you are talking about the two most used instances for a Galaxy's "weakness" are typically the Odyssey's destruction and Generations.
