TNG. Yes, the one with P for Picard. Amazing, huh?

The context is using an alien technology to amp their tractor beam to move a fragment of a neutron star. There's so much to argue against this, I don't see it as legit. You can use a warp field to lighten an object's mass. Geordi confirms they can only move small moons and asteroids. Under this logic, Barclay using his Cytherian-enhanced mind technology to move the Enterprise 30,000 light-years would count as legit to use for the vessel itself even though they never did so again. There's also the fact on DS9 we see massive planetary bombardment, and wouldn't you know, it's not in the stellar ranges.
