M’Benga interned in a Vulcan ward during his medical training. He cared for Spock when the Enterprise first officer was critically wounded on Tyree's planet in 2267. (“A Private Little War” [TOS]). M’Benga supervised the autopsies surrounding the mysterious deaths of Enterprise personnel near the Kalandan outpost in 2268. (“That Which Survives” [TOS]). M’Benga made only two appearances on Star Trek.
~1:[1,#BI],12:[1,#I],17:[1,#I],25:[1,#I],38:[1,#I]@1M’Char@2Klingon bird-of-prey under the command of Commander Kaybok. The freighter Xhosa was stopped by the M’Char in 2372. Kaybok intended to board the Xhosa and search it for shape-shifters, but Captain Sisko, in command of the Defiant, intervened and convinced Kaybok to withdraw his vessel. (“The Way of the Warrior” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B],6:[1,#B],11:[1,#B],16:[2,#BI],32:[1,#B]@1M’kemas III@2Planet located in Tzenkethi territory. In 2371, a Founder took control of the U.S.S. Defiant and planned to attack M’kemas III in hopes of starting a war between the Federation and the Tzenkethi. (“The Adversary” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B],4:[1,#B],32:[1,#BI],41:[2,#B],59:[1,#I],68:[1,#B],106:[2,#B]@1M’ret, Vice-Proconsul@2High-ranking Romulan senator who defected to the Federation in 2369. M’ret, along with two aides, was placed into stasis and smuggled in a cargo container aboard the Romulan warbird Khazara for transfer to a Corvallen freighter in the Kaleb sector. Although this plan was not entirely successful, M’ret and his aides were later transported to the Enterprise -D. M’ret’s escape had been engineered by Ambassador Spock, working with the dissident underground on Romulus. Spock hoped that M’ret’s defection would help establish an escape route for thousands of other Romulan dissidents who lived in fear for their lives. (“Face of the Enemy” [TNG]). SEE: N’Vek, Subcommander.
~1:[1,#B]@1M’Tell@2Archaeologist noted for the discovery of Ya’Seem, ranked among the greatest findings in her field. (“The Chase” [TNG]).

~1:[2,#B],12:[1,#B],30:[2,#B],37:[1,#I],89:[8,#I],99:[38,#I]@1M-113 creature@2(Sharon Gimpel). The last surviving humanoid inhabitant of planet M-113, an intelligent life-form with large suction cups on its hands. This individual had caused the death of Nancy Crater before transporting up to the Enterprise, where it was killed when it threatened the life of Captain Kirk. The M-113 creatures possessed an extraordinary hypnotic ability to take on the appearance of someone known to their prey, and used this ability when hunting in order to obtain the salt they needed to survive. (“The Man Trap” [TOS]). The M-113 creature is popularly known by many Star Trek fans as the Salt Vampire, although this name did not come from the episode itself. The creature was designed and built by Wah Chang. Staff and crew members of the original series called this creature the “Salt Sucker.”
~1:[1,#B],17:[2,#B],35:[2,#B]@1M-113@2Class-M planet, the former home of a long-dead civilization, now desertlike and nearly barren. Archaeologist Robert Crater spent some five years prior to 2266 studying the ruins there, during which time his wife Nancy Crater was killed by the last surviving native inhabitant of that planet. (“The Man Trap” [TOS]).

The M-5 multitronic unit was the most ambitious computer complex of its time, and was designed with the purpose of correlating and controlling every aspect of starship operation. The M-5 multitronic unit was built using a technique that allowed human neural engrams to be impressed upon the computer’s circuits, theoretically giving the machine the ability to think and reason like a human. Daystrom hoped that the M-5 would prove as great an advance as his earlier breakthrough in duotronics. The M-5 was tested aboard the Starship Enterprise in 2268 in an exercise that allowed the M-5 to conduct routine contact and survey operations, as well as an elaborate war game that involved four other Federation starships. Although initial tests were promising, the M-5 demonstrated serious problems when it fired full phasers at the Excalibur and the Lexington, killing hundreds of people. Fortunately, the M-5 possessed Daystrom’s sense of morality, and it later deactivated itself to atone for the sin of murder. (“The Ultimate Computer” [TOS]).
~1:[1,#B],17:[1,#B],35:[1,#B],38:[1,#B],43:[2,#B],50:[41,#I]@1M-9@2A type of gestural sign language that is both silent and covert. Developed by the Leyrons of planet Malkus IX. Data learned this language form in 2365 for use in communicating with mediator Riva after his Chorus was killed at planet Solais V. (“Loud as a Whisper” [TNG]). The hand gestures that Data studied on his computer screen when learning this language were mostly standard American Sign Language symbols. One sign that was not, however, was the traditional Vulcan salute, which was included to see if anyone would notice.
~1:[2,#B],9:[1,#B],16:[1,#I]@1M24 Alpha@2Star system that contained the planet Triskelion; site where several members of the Enterprise were transported in 2268. (“The Gamesters of Triskelion” [TOS]).
~1:[1,#B],8:[2,#B],26:[2,#B],34:[1,#B],53:[1,#B],57:[1,#B]@1Maab@2(Michael Dante). Ambitious warrior on planet Capella IV who attempted to gain control of the Ten Tribes of Capella by murdering their leader, High Teer Akaar, in 2267. Maab had favored selling Capellan mineral rights to the Klingons instead of to the Federation. Maab later sacrificed his life defending Akaar’s widow, Eleen, against Klingon agent Kras, after discovering that the Klingons were without honor by Capellan standards. (“Friday’s Child” [TOS]).
~1:[2,#B],26:[1,#I],27:[1,#BI],37:[1,#B],60:[2,#I],69:[1,#I]@1Mab-Bu VI@2A giant, gaseous planet located in Federation space. Mab-Bu VI had a Class-M moon that was recorded in Starfleet records as uninhabited. The Starship Essex was destroyed above the Mab-Bu moon in 2167 by Ux-Mal criminals who had been imprisoned on the moon. These same criminals attempted to escape a second time, in 2368, by commandeering the Starship Enterprise -D, taking over the bodies of several Enterprise -D personnel including Miles O’Brien, Deanna Troi, and Data. (“Power Play” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],5:[1,#B],31:[1,#B],47:[1,#B],72:[2,#I]@1Mabus@2(Charles O. Lucia). Trabe leader. Mabus grew up on a planet where members of the Kazon were imprisoned and persecuted. He was eight years old when orphaned in the Kazon revolt of 2346. Many years later, he and other Trabe nationals were captured by the Kazon-Nistrim and placed in prison on planet Sobras. In 2372, Mabus and his countrymen escaped captivity and briefly formed an alliance with members of the U.S.S. Voyager. With the combined strength of a Federation starship and the Trabe, Mabus organized a peace conference and invited many Kazon first majes. Mabus, however, had engineered the entire conference as a trap with the sole intention of assassinating the Kazon representatives. The plot failed, and Mabus returned to his countrymen to continue his acts of revenge. (“Alliances” [VGR]).
~1:[3,#B]@1MacAllister, James Mooney@2Starfleet officer. As a cadet, MacAllister shared a room with Harry Kim at Starfleet Academy. MacAllister used to study algorithms until dawn, and he helped Kim through fourth-year quantum chemistry. (“The Cloud” [VGR]).

~1:[3,#B],7:[1,#B],16:[1,#I],53:[1,#I],65:[3,#B]@1MacDuff, Commander Kieran@2(Erich Anderson). A Satarran operative who masqueraded as an officer of the Enterprise -D in 2368. The Satarrans bombarded the Federation ship with a powerful bio-electric field that suppressed the crew’s short-term memories as well as most computer records. During the following confusion, MacDuff took a place aboard the Enterprise -D and attempted to convince the ship’s crew to attack the Lysian Central Command. The Satarran scheme failed because Captain Picard refused to attack a defenseless enemy, even though he appeared to have been ordered to do so. (“Conundrum” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],9:[1,#B],11:[1,#BI],16:[1,#I],32:[1,#BI],36:[9,#I],46:[2,#B]@1Macet, Gul@2(Marc Alaimo). Commanding officer of the Cardassian warship Trager. Macet came aboard the Enterprise -D in 2367 as an observer during a mission to locate the renegade Federation starship Phoenix. (“The Wounded” [TNG]). Marc Alaimo played several other roles, including Gul Dukat. SEE: Badar N’D’D.
~1:[1,#B],7:[1,#B],25:[2,#B],68:[1,#BI],72:[1,#BI],77:[1,#B],80:[2,#B]@1Macias@2(John Franklyn-Robbins). Leader of the Maquis cell on Ronara. Macias was originally from the Federation colony on Juhraya, and lived there when the Federation-Cardassian treaty was signed. He tried to stay on in his home, but was attacked and beaten by Cardassian operatives, leaving him permanently scarred. Macias relocated to Ronara, and became part of the Maquis cell there. A complex man, Macias was fond of hasperat and played the belaklavion, though he was not Bajoran. He befriended Ro Laren, and was instrumental in her decision to leave Starfleet and join the Maquis in 2370. Shortly thereafter, Macias was killed in a surprise attack by Cardassians. (“Preemptive Strike” [TNG]).

~1:[2,#B],16:[2,#B],29:[2,#B]@1MacPherson Nebula@2Supernova remnant. When searching for a source of vertion particles to feed an emergent life-form in 2370, Geordi La Forge chose the MacPherson Nebula over the Dikon alpha pulsar. La Forge launched a modified photon torpedo into the nebula, and the subsequent explosion created the needed vertions. (“Emergence” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],9:[1,#B],12:[2,#B],38:[2,#B]@1macrospentol@2One of several chemicals used by the Angosians during the Tarsian War to “improve” their soldiers, making them more effective in combat. Unfortunately, the effects of many of these drugs were irreversible. (“The Hunted” [TNG]). SEE: Danar, Roga.
~1:[1,#B],65:[2,#B],103:[2,#I],110:[1,#B],119:[1,#B]@1macrovirus@2Life-form probably indigenous to a planet in the Delta Quadrant, resembling a conventional virus, but growing to extraordinary size. The macrovirus begins its life cycle at a submicroscopic size, but quickly grows, infecting its host body as it multiplies. When it reaches approximately one centimeter in size, the macrovirus emerges from the host, where it can grow as large as two meters. The Tak Tak civilization had serious problems with macrovirus infestations, and adopted a policy of destroying any infected colony or ship. Although Tak Tak medical technology had no effective treatment for the macrovirus, the Emergency Medical Hologram aboard the Starship Voyager was able to develop an antigen that could destroy the macrovirus. (“Macrocosm” [VGR]). SEE: resort.
~1:[3,#B],13:[4,#B],23:[2,#B],38:[1,#B],91:[2,#B]@1Maddox, Commander Bruce@2(Brian Brophy). Noted cyberneticist, Chair of Robotics at the Daystrom Institute of Technology, and student of the works of Noonien Soong. Maddox was the only member of the entrance committee who opposed the android Data's entrance into Starfleet Academy in 2341 because of his belief that Data was not a sentient being. In 2365, Maddox attempted to use legal means to coerce Data to submit to a disassembly procedure, in an effort to learn more about the android’s construction. This effort was blocked when Judge Advocate General Phillipa Louvois ruled that Data was indeed a sentient being. (“The Measure of a Man” [TNG]). Data nevertheless held no ill will against Maddox, and in fact remained in correspondence with him, providing Maddox with information to help further understand Data’s mind. (“Data’s Day” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],13:[2,#B],59:[17,#I]@1Madeline@2(Rhonda Aldrich). A holodeck character, the fictional secretary of pulp detective Dixon Hill. An attractive woman who outwardly seemed bemused by the world of private investigators, Madeline wanted to become a P.I. herself. The Dixon Hill holodeck program, based on the Dixon Hill novels and short stories, included a holographic representation of Madeline. (“Manhunt” [TNG], “Clues” [TNG]). She also appeared in “The Big Goodbye” [TNG], although the character did not yet have a name.
~1:[3,#B],8:[1,#B],10:[1,#B]@1Madena, Coalition of@2Political entity encompassing planets Altec and Straleb in the Omega Sagitta system. Both planets are inhabited by the same humanoid species, and the coalition was held together by a precarious treaty. (“The Outrageous Okona” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],9:[1,#I],12:[2,#B],20:[2,#B],34:[3,#B],82:[8,#I],96:[3,#I]@1Madred, Gul@2(David Warner). Cardassian officer who interrogated Enterprise -D captain Jean-Luc Picard when Picard was captured at planet Celtris III in 2369. Madred employed physical and psychological torture in violation of the Seldonis IV Convention while attempting to extract Starfleet tactical information from Picard. Although Picard was able to resist, he later confided that he was so brutalized by the experience that he would have done anything for Madred, had he not been freed. (“Chain of Command, Part II” [TNG]). David Warner also played St. John Talbot in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Gorkon in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
~1:[2,#B],10:[2,#B],30:[1,#B],38:[2,#B]@1mag-lev carriage@2Small passenger or cargo vehicle that uses magnetic leverage to travel up a cable tether connecting the surface of a planet to an orbital station. Used by Nezu colonists in the Delta Quadrant on their orbital tether sysem. (“Rise” [VGR]).

The Magellan, piloted by Worf, was launched on a rescue mission when Captain Picard was trapped on planet El-Adrel IV in 2368. A Tamarian vessel fired on the Magellan, carefully disabling it so that it was forced to return to the Enterprise -D. The Tamarians had sought to isolate Picard and their captain on El-Adrel IV so that they might have a chance to learn to communicate. (“Darmok” [TNG]). The Magellan participated in a rescue mission of the J’naii shuttle Taris Murn in 2368. The Magellan had two 1,250 millicochrane warp engines and microfusion impulse thrusters. Such shuttles are normally unarmed, but can be equipped with two phaser type-4 emitters for special mission requirements. The rescue of the J’naii shuttle was successful, but the Magellan was destroyed in the process. (“The Outcast” [TNG]). The Magellan was named for Spanish navigator Ferdinand Magellan, the first explorer to circumnavigate planet Earth. This was the first appearance of the new full-sized shuttle set and model introduced during the fifth season. The ship was an extensive modification of the Galileo 5 shuttle built for Star Trek V. Designers included Richard James, Nilo Rodis, Herman Zimmerman, Andy Neskoromny, and Rick Sternbach. The model was built by Greg Jein.

Zefram Cochrane played “Magic Carpet Ride” during his historic first warp flight aboard the Phoenix on April 4, 2063. (Star Trek: First Contact).
~1:[2,#B],40:[2,#B]@1magma pockets@2In planetary geology, subsurface regions containing molten rock. In 2370, magma pockets in planet Atrea IV had cooled to the point of solidifying, threatening the stability of the planet. These pockets were used as placement points for ferroplasmic infusion devices used to reliquefy the core of the planet. (“Inheritance” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B]@1Magna Carta@2The “great charter” of liberties signed by English King John under enormous pressure from English barons on Earth in the year 1215. The Magna Carta, still regarded as a major milestone in the evolution of law, provided guarantees of due process in trials, and strict limitations of governmental power over the governed. (“Court Martial” [TOS]).
~1:[2,#B],7:[1,#I],22:[2,#B]@1magnascopic storm@2Electromagnetic spatial disruption. The Enterprise -D passed through a magnascopic storm in the Mekorda sector in 2370, when an emergent life-form attached itself to the ship’s computer system. (“Emergence” [TNG]).

~1:[2,#B],38:[2,#B]@1magnesite-nitron tablet@2Small white disk carried in Dr. McCoy’s medical pouch. When crushed, the tablet explodes into a bright flame, providing a source of illumination. Kirk used a magnesite-nitron tablet for illumination in a cave on planet Capella IV on stardate 3497. (“Friday’s Child” [TOS]).
~1:[1,#B],17:[2,#B],31:[1,#I]@1magnesite@2Metallic composite containing magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. The presence of magnesite ore in the crust of Atrea IV caused a feedback pulse in the drilling phasers used by the Starship Enterprise -D in 2370. The problem was corrected by adjusting the harmonic frequency of the phaser beam. (“Inheritance” [TNG]). Transporters cannot beam through magnesite-bearing rock. (“Nor the Battle to the Strong” [DS9]). The Duras sisters illegally extracted magnesite ore from a Pakled mine on planet Kalla III. (“Firstborn” [TNG]). Magnesite was used as a structural material in Federation and Kazon spacecraft construction. (“Initiations” [VGR]). Magnesite can also be used as a chemical fuel for cooking. Campers on Earth generally prefer to use magnesite fuel instead of wood cut from trees. (“Tattoo” [VGR]).
~1:[2,#B],8:[1,#B]@1magnetascopic interference@2Electromagnetic energy produced by unstable protostars. Magnetascopic interference affects sensor and communication efficiency. (“Preemptive Strike” [TNG]).

Also known as gravity boots. Burke and Samno, Federation operatives who murdered Klingon chancellor Gorkon, wore magnetic boots so that they could move freely aboard the Klingon ship Kronos One during the assassination. The boots later provided the means of identifying Burke and Samno as the assassins. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country).
~1:[2,#B],14:[1,#I],41:[1,#I]@1magnetic constrictors@2Component of a starship’s warp core. In 2372, Michael Jonas sabotaged Voyager's magnetic constrictors so that they would be forced to vent plasma, severely damaging the inner layer of the warp coils. This damage was designed to force Voyager to visit planet Hemikek, where Kazon forces were lying in ambush. (“Investigations” [VGR]).
~1:[2,#B],32:[1,#B],40:[2,#B]@1magnetic leverage@2Form of linear propulsion that was used to lift a carriage along a tether cable stretching from a planet’s surface up to a station in synchronous orbit. Used by Nezu colonists in the Delta Quadrant on their orbital tether sysem. (“Rise” [VGR]).
~1:[2,#B],6:[1,#I],30:[1,#B]@1magnetic probe@2Handheld engineering tool.

(“The Best of Both Worlds, Part I” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],7:[1,#B],35:[2,#BI]@1magnetic seals@2Component of the matter/antimatter containment system aboard Federation starships. The seals help prevent the highly volatile antimatter from coming into contact with the structure of the ship. The magnetic seals of the U.S.S. Yamato collapsed just prior to that ship’s explosion in 2365. An emergency system that should have dumped the antimatter from the ship in that situation evidently failed. (“Contagion” [TNG]).
