Captain Picard chose the Grisella as mediators in a dispute in 2366 between the Sheliak and the Federation over the evacuation of the Federation’s Tau Cygna V colony in accordance with the Treaty of Armens. The choice was intended by Picard to delay enforcement of the evacuation. (“The Ensigns of Command” [TNG]).

The Grissom was near the Sigma Erandi system during the tricyanate contamination on Beta Agni II in 2366. The Enterprise -D requested the Grissom to stand by should assistance be needed. (“The Most Toys” [TNG]). This was presumably a newer U.S.S. Grissom, since the earlier ship of the same name was destroyed in Star Trek III.

The Grissom was assigned to investigate the newly formed Genesis Planet in 2285, but was destroyed by a Klingon vessel attempting to claim the planet for the Klingon Empire. The Grissom had been commanded by Captain J. T. Esteban. The investigation team included Lieutenant Saavik and Dr. David Marcus. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock). The Grissom was designed by David Carson and built at ILM. The Grissom was also relabeled and re-used as a variety of other Federation starships in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The Grissom was named for Mercury astronaut Virgil I. Grissom, who was killed in the tragic Apollo 1 fire in 1967. The Grissom helm officer was played by Jeanne Mori, and the communications officer was Mario Marcelino. Neither character was given a name on screen.

The final mission of the Groumall was to ferry Major Kira Nerys to talks on Korma in 2372. Upon arriving at Korma, Dukat learned that the outpost had been attacked by Klingon forces. Dukat and Kira improvised a counterattack by installing Korma’s system-5 disruptors into the Groumall’s cargo hold. So equipped, the Groumall engaged and captured a Klingon bird-of-prey commanded by K’Temang. After assuming command of the Klingon ship, Dukat stranded the Klingon crew on the Groumall. Dukat then destroyed the Groumall, killing all aboard. (“Return to Grace” [DS9]).

~1:[3,#B],72:[1,#I],90:[1,#B],127:[2,#I],153:[2,#B]@1Guardian of Forever@2(Voice by Bart LaRue). Time portal created by an unknown civilization on a distant planet at least five billion years ago. The Guardian resembled a large, rough-hewn torus about three meters in diameter. It was a sentient device, able to respond to questions, although the sophistication of its programming was so great that it was difficult for humans to understand it. The Guardian was discovered in 2267 by Enterprise personnel who were investigating time-distortion waves in the vicinity. Dr. McCoy, suffering from an accidental overdose of cordrazine when the ship was hit by a time wave, fled into Earth’s past through the Guardian. While in the past, McCoy effected a change in the flow of history, creating a new future in which the Starship Enterprise did not exist. Kirk and Spock followed McCoy to Earth’s 1930s, where they learned that McCoy had prevented the death of American social worker Edith Keeler. In this altered history, Keeler prevented the entry of the United States into World War II long enough for Nazi Germany to develop weapons that allowed Hitler to dominate the world. Kirk and Spock were able to prevent McCoy from saving Keeler, and upon her death, time resumed its original course. The origin and purpose of the Guardian remains a total mystery, but the Guardian described itself as its own beginning and its own end. (“The City on the Edge of Forever” [TOS]).

Guinan. (Whoopi Goldberg). Bartender at the Ten-Forward Lounge aboard the Starship Enterprise -D. (“The Child” [TNG]). Guinan was a member of a civilization of listeners, but her people, the El-Aurians, were nearly wiped out by the Borg in the late 23rd century. While fleeing from her homeworld aboard the S.S. Lakul in 2293, Guinan was briefly swept into an alternate reality known as the nexus. (Star Trek Generations). The few survivors among her people escaped by spreading themselves across the galaxy. Guinan was one of the survivors. (“Q Who?” [TNG]). Guinan spent some time on Earth prior to that planet’s development of space travel. She lived in the Earth city of San Francisco in the year 1893, where she met writer Samuel Clemens, as well as future shipmates Data, Picard, etc., who had traveled back in time. (“Time’s Arrow, Parts I and II” [TNG]). Guinan was probably born sometime in the 19th century, making her about 500 years old when she served on the Enterprise -D. Her father was about 200 years old at the time of Guinan’s birth. (“Rascals” [TNG]). She also had an uncle named Terkim. (“Hollow Pursuits” [TNG]). Guinan and Q were acquaintances, having met each other some two centuries ago, but neither has been particularly enlightening about the encounter, save for the fact that neither liked the other. (“Q Who?” [TNG]). She has been married several times, and has had many children. She said that all of them turned out all right, except for one who wouldn’t listen. (“Evolution” [TNG]). Guinan possessed an unusual sense that extended beyond normal linear space-time. She, alone, was intuitively aware of the damage to the “normal” flow of time caused when the Enterprise -C was swept some 22 years into its future, creating an alternate timeline. Guinan warned Picard that history had been altered, persuading him to return the Enterprise -C back to 2344 to restore the flow of time. Such was Picard’s faith in Guinan that he accepted this extraordinary recommendation. (“Yesterday’s Enterprise” [TNG]). Much remains unknown about Guinan, largely because Star Trek's producers have chosen to keep her background something of a mystery. Guinan, played by Whoopi Goldberg, joined the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast at the beginning of the second season after calling Gene Roddenberry and telling him that she’d like to be part of the Enterprise crew. Guinan was named after famed bartender Texas Guinan, who ran a saloon during the Prohibition. Young Guinan in “Rascals” was played by Isis J. Jones. Guinan’s first appearance was in “The Child” [TNG]).
