These individuals had all died in the late 20th century, but their bodies had been frozen and sent into space. The cryosatellite drifted in space for some 300 years before being discovered near the Kazis Binary star system by the Enterprise -D. Although most of the satellite’s storage modules had failed, three individuals were revived: Claire Raymond, Sonny Clemonds, and Ralph Offenhouse. All three were later returned to Earth on the Starship Charleston. (“The Neutral Zone” [TNG]). SEE: cryonics; sleeper ship. The cryosatellite was designed by Rick Sternbach and Mike Okuda. Extremely close examination of the model might have revealed tiny letters reading “S.S. Birdseye” inscribed on the hull. The model was later modified and used as Subspace Relay Station 47 in “Aquiel” (TNG).
~1:[2,#B],32:[1,#B],45:[2,#B],65:[2,#I]@1cryostasis chamber@2Storage device used to preserve living being at cryogenic temperatures for later revival. Over 300 people including Amelia Earhart were abducted from Earth in 1937 and brought to the Briori homeworld in the Delta Quadrant to work as slaves. Noted Earth aviator Amelia Earhart and seven others remained in cryostasis on the planet until they were revived by the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager in 2371. (“The 37’s” [VGR]).
~1:[1,#B],30:[1,#B]@1cryostasis@2Medical procedure used to slow down biological functions in a critically injured patient, allowing the physician more time to correct the malady. Dr. Julian Bashir wanted to put Hon’Tihl, the critically injured first officer of a Klingon vessel, into cryostasis on stardate 46922, but the patient died shortly after transport to Deep Space 9. (“Dramatis Personae” [DS9]).

The Crystalline Entity apparently thrived by absorbing the energy of biological life-forms on planets, leaving behind devastated planetary surfaces. The Crystalline Entity was responsible for the destruction of the Omicron Theta colony (including all inhabitants) in 2336. The androids Data and Lore, who were dormant underground at the time of the attack, escaped harm. It was believed that Lore had betrayed the colonists to the entity just prior to the attack. (“Datalore” [TNG]). Colony residents Dr Noonien and Dr. Juliana Soong both fled during the attack aboard an escape pod, although Juliana Soong was severely injured. (“Inheritance” [TNG]). In subsequent years, Dr. Kila Marr, whose son died at Omicron Theta, studied the entity, examining 12 attack sites, including planet Forlat III. The entity’s last attack was in 2368 at the Melona IV colony. Shortly thereafter, Marr destroyed the entity with a modulated graviton beam. (“Silicon Avatar” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],16:[1,#B],30:[1,#I]@1crystalline emiristol@2Solid chemical rocket propellant used in the ancient space probe launched from the Kataan system a thousand years ago. It left a radioactive trail that allowed the Enterprise -D to trace the probe’s point of origin. (“The Inner Light” [TNG]).

~1:[2,#B],8:[1,#B],26:[2,#BI]@1Cuellar system@2A star system located in Cardassian space. The Cuellar system was the location of a Cardassian science station that was destroyed by the U.S.S. Phoenix in 2367. Phoenix captain Benjamin Maxwell believed the station to be a military installation. (“The Wounded” [TNG]).

First maje of the Kazon-Nistrim. In 2371, Culluh helped set up a deal with Voyager crew member Seska, in which Seska agreed to provide Federation replicator technology to the Kazon-Nistrim. When Voyager personnel discovered Seska’s scheme, she transported over Culluh’s ship and escaped. (“State of Flux” [VGR]). Later, with the assistance of Seska, Culluh conducted a raid on the U.S.S. Voyager, using a Kazon shuttlecraft to pierce the hull of the Voyager. The purpose of the attack was to steal a transporter module, so that the Nistrim would then have transporter technology, and thereby gain an advantage over other Kazon sects. Although the raid was successful, the transporter module was late destroyed. Culluh’s grandfather was first maje of the Nistrim when it was powerful, but the sect grew weak under Culluh’s leadership. (“Maneuvers” [VGR]). In 2372 Culluh accepted a proposal by Starship Voyager Captain Kathryn Janeway to form an alliance, but demanded an exchange of crew, therefore negating the Federation offer. Shortly after that, he reluctantly attended a peace conference on planet Sobras organized by Janeway and Trabe leader Mabus. The meeting proved to be a trap devised by Mabus to eliminate the Kazons. (“Alliances” [VGR]). In late 2372, Maje Culluh and Seska were successful in capturing the Starship Voyager by convincing Chakotay that Seska’s child was his and that it was in danger. Culluh and his forces stranded the Voyager crew on planet Hanon IV. (“Basics, Part I” [VGR]). Seska’s newborn son was actually fathered by Culluh, not Chakotay. After Seska was killed in an explosion, and Talaxian forces, led by Tom Paris, retook the Voyager, Culluh took his infant son and ordered the Kazon to flee. (“Basics, Part II” [VGR]).

Judge Advocate General Phillipa Louvois cited the Acts of Cumberland in her initial ruling in 2365 that the android Data was the property of Starfleet and therefore could not resign or refuse to cooperate in proposed experiments. (“The Measure of a Man” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],28:[1,#I],29:[3,#B]@1Curie, Marie@2Earth physicist (1867-1934), co-discoverer (with Pierre Curie) of radium and polonium. Marie Sklodowska Curie earned two Nobel Prizes for her study of radioactivity. In 2373, Voyager’s Emergency Medical Hologram incorporated segments of Marie Curie’s personality into his personality improvement project. (“Darkling” [VGR]).

In 2370, Lieutenant Worf took the Curie to Forcas III to compete in the bat’leth competition there. During his return trip, Worf encountered a quantum fissure and caused himself to be propelled into a series of alternate quantum realities. When Worf’s quantum shifting was finally discovered, the Curie was used to seal the quantum fissure, by sending the ship back through the rift and emitting a broad-spectrum warp field. (“Parallels” [TNG]). Later that same year, Joret Dal was sent back across the Cardassian border in the Curie. The ship was not returned. (“Lower Decks” [TNG]). Named for physicist Marie Sklodowska Curie.
~1:[3,#B],25:[1,#B],32:[2,#B]@1Curtis Creek program@2A holodeck program that simulated a mountain stream on planet Earth. The program was mentioned during a virtual reality engineered by Barash on Alpha Onias III.

Cyanoacrylates, which could also stimulate growth of some strains of plasma plague, were not normally found aboard Galaxy -class starships. (“The Child” [TNG]). Cyanoacrylate is actually a chemical term used to describe several types of fast-bonding adhesives, notably the stuff sold under the brand name “Krazy Glue.” The use of this term here was scientifically inappropriate, but was apparently intended as a gag.
~1:[2,#B],5:[1,#I],33:[1,#I],49:[3,#B]@1cybernetic regeneration@2Medical treatment. Enterprise -D chief medical officer Beverly Crusher conducted some research into cybernetic regeneration. (“11001001” [TNG]). Dr. Crusher published a paper on the subject during her tenure aboard the Enterprise -D. While the paper was not widely known, it did spark the interest of neurogeneticist Dr. Toby Russell. (“Ethics” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],14:[2,#I]@1Cygnet XIV@2Planet. Cygnet XIV’s government was dominated by women when the original Starship Enterprise docked there for general repair and maintenance of the ship’s computer system in 2267. The technicians on Cygnet XIV felt the computers lacked a personality and gave them one—female, with a tendency to flirt and giggle. (“Tomorrow is Yesterday” [TOS]).

The Cytherians made outside contact, not by traveling through space, but by bringing space travelers to them. The Cytherians sent out specially designed probes that would reprogram some types of computers with instructions to bring travelers to the Cytherians. The Enterprise -D encountered one such probe in 2367. The Cytherian probe had attempted to reprogram the computers on the Argus Array and then attempted to reprogram an Enterprise -D shuttlecraft onboard computer. The probe was finally able to program Lieutenant Reginald Barclay’s mind to bring the Enterprise -D to the Cytherians. The Enterprise -D spent ten days in the company of the Cytherians, exchanging a great deal of cultural and scientific information. (“The Nth Degree” [TNG]). The Cytherian probe model was later modified and reused in “The Forsaken” (DS9).
