A6M Zero
From Trekipedia
Manufactured by Mitsubishi, the A6M Zero was the mainstay fighter plane of the Japanese military during World War II.[1] While exploring the amusement planet in the Omicron Delta region, Lieutenant Esteban Rodriguez inadvertently brought a Zero and an F4U Corsair into being with an errant thought. The Zero strafed his and Lieutenant Angela Teller's position, and Teller was struck by the plane's gunfire. Fortunately, the planet's computer revived her.[2]
