~1:[2,#B],10:[2,#B],21:[1,#B],50:[1,#B],52:[1,#B]@1Miller, Wyatt@2(Rob Knepper). Physician who was betrothed to Deanna Troi when they were very young, being raised on planet Betazed. Wyatt had been haunted all his life by an image of a woman who he had thought was Deanna, but he later learned the mysterious woman was a Tarellian named Ariana. He chose not to marry Troi so that he could join the Tarellians in search for a cure to the virus that infected the last members of the Tarellian people. (“Haven” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],6:[1,#B],24:[2,#B]@1millicochrane@2Unit of measure of subspace distortion, one one-thousandth of the force necessary to establish a field of warp factor one. Named for Zefram Cochrane, inventor of the space warp. (“Remember Me” [TNG], “The Outcast” [TNG]).

~1:[1,#B],20:[1,#B],45:[25,#I]@1Milton@2English poet John Milton (1608-1674). When asked by Kirk in 2267 if he would prefer exile or imprisonment, Khan cited Milton’s Satan, who, as quoted by Kirk, felt “it is better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven.” (“Space Seed” [TOS]). On the other hand, Bob Justman claims that “it is better to be served in Heaven than to rule in Hell.” He could be right.
~1:[1,#B],22:[3,#B],30:[2,#B]@1Mimas@2Closest of the major moons orbiting the planet Saturn. Mimas was the location of an emergency evacuation center for Starfleet Academy’s Flight Range, and was the location where Nova Squadron was evacuated following an accident in 2368. (“The First Duty” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],6:[3,#B],11:[1,#B]@1Minara II@2Planet in the Minaran star system where the Vians conducted studies in 2268 to determine which planet’s inhabitants would be saved when the star Minara exploded. (“The Empath” [TOS]).
~1:[2,#B],37:[1,#B]@1Minaran empath@2Individual whose nervous system is capable of absorbing the physical and emotional responses of another, permitting the empath to heal the injuries of others by transferring those injuries onto her or his own body. Gem of the Minaran star system was one such empath. (“The Empath” [TOS]).
~1:[3,#B],30:[1,#B],53:[2,#B],59:[1,#B]@1Minaran star system@2Planetary system, formerly with several inhabited worlds. The star, Minara, entered a nova phase in 2268, rendering those planets uninhabitable. An advanced civilization known as the Vians had the ability to save the inhabitants of only one of those planets, and ultimately chose the humanoid people of the planet Minara II. (“The Empath” [TOS]). SEE: Gem.
~1:[1,#B],17:[2,#B]@1mind-link@2Telepathic linking of two minds creating a double entity within one being, similar to a Vulcan mind-meld. (“Is There in Truth No Beauty?”[TOS]).
~1:[1,#B],3:[1,#B],38:[1,#B]@1mind-sifter@2Barbaric Klingon device used to probe the thoughts of a prisoner during interrogation. At higher settings, the device irreparably damaged the brain of the victim. Spock’s Vulcan discipline enabled him to endure the mind-sifter on planet Organia in 2267. (“Errand of Mercy” [TOS]).

~1:[2,#B],41:[1,#I]@1Minos Korva@2Federation planet located in a sector four light-years from the border between the Federation and the Cardassians. The Cardassians attempted to annex the planet in the early 2360s, but were unsuccessful. In 2369, Starfleet contingency plans placed the Enterprise -D leading a fleet to defend Minos Korva and the surrounding sector in the event of a feared Cardassian invasion. (“Chain of Command, Part II” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],30:[2,#B],60:[2,#BI],70:[3,#B]@1Minos@2Now uninhabited, Minos, a lush, forested planet, was once the home of a thriving, technologically advanced civilization. The people of Minos gained notoriety as arms merchants during the Erselrope Wars, but were all killed when their weapons systems got out of hand. At least a few Minosian artifacts survived, however, and were responsible for the destruction of the U.S.S. Drake in 2364. (“The Arsenal of Freedom” [TNG]). SEE: Arsenal of Freedom.
~1:[3,#B],18:[2,#BI],22:[2,#B],26:[1,#B],28:[2,#B],39:[2,#B],42:[2,#B]@1Minstrel Boy, The@2Traditional Earth folksong that told of a young musician killed in an ancient war. U.S.S. Rutledge crew member Will Kayden, killed by Cardassians at Setlik III, was fond of the song, as were his shipmates Benjamin Maxwell and Miles O’Brien. (“The Wounded” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],16:[1,#I],17:[1,#B],21:[1,#B]@1mint tea@2A beverage made from the steeped leaves of a plant from the genus Mentha. Perrin, wife of Ambassador Sarek, liked living on Vulcan, but regretted that there was no mint tea there. (“Unification, Part I” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],26:[16,#I],44:[15,#I]@1Mintaka III@2Class-M planet. Mintaka III was the site of a Federation anthropological field study of the local proto-Vulcan culture. (“Who Watches the Watchers?” [TNG]). The exterior scenes of Mintaka III were filmed at Vasquez Rocks, near Los Angeles. Several other Star Trek episodes have been shot there, notably “Shore Leave,” (TOS), “Arena” (TOS), and “Friday’s Child” (TOS).
~1:[2,#B],24:[1,#B],26:[1,#B],41:[29,#I],71:[2,#I],76:[14,#I],91:[2,#I]@1Mintakan tapestry@2Woven fabric art produced by the people of Mintaka III. An example of this craft was given to Captain Picard by Nuria, the Mintakan leader, in appreciation for his concern for her people. (“Who Watches the Watchers?” [TNG]). This tapestry could, in later episodes, sometimes be seen draped over the back of Picard’s chair in his quarters. Picard evidently salvaged the tapestry after the crash of the Enterprise -D in Star Trek Generations, since the artifact was seen on the chair in his ready room on the Enterprise -E in Star Trek: First Contact.
~1:[1,#B],10:[2,#B],51:[1,#B]@1Mintakans@2Bronze age proto-Vulcan humanoids; natives of the planet Mintaka III. They were reported to be very peaceful and rational, living in a matriarchal, agricultural society. A Federation anthropological field team, studying the Mintakans in 2366, accidentally exposed the Mintakans to advanced Federation technology. (“Who Watches the Watchers?” [TNG]). SEE: Nuria.
~1:[3,#B],20:[1,#B]@1Mintonian sailing ship@2Wind-powered ocean vessel. Guinan imagined seeing a Mintonian sailing ship in the swirling clouds of the FGC-47 nebula. (“Imaginary Friend” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],27:[1,#B],72:[1,#B],88:[3,#B]@1Minuet@2(Carolyn McCormick). A character in a holodeck simulation of a New Orleans jazz club. Minuet was generated by an enhanced holodeck program created by the Bynars, and was designed to interactively respond to Riker’s expectations. Riker was quite captivated by the lovely Minuet, and was disappointed when her program disappeared from the computer after the Bynars left the ship. (“11001001” [TNG]). Minuet had left such an impression on Riker that Barash's neural scanners found her image in Riker’s mind when Riker was held by Barash on Alpha Onias III in 2367. In this virtual reality created by Barash’s equipment, Minuet was supposedly Riker’s wife and his ship’s counselor, who had been killed in a shuttle accident. (“Future Imperfect” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],6:[2,#B]@1Mira system@2Location of planet Dytallix B. (“Conspiracy” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],6:[2,#B],14:[2,#I],50:[7,#I]@1Miracle Worker@2Nickname given to Montgomery Scott by his crew mates aboard the Starship Enterprise. Kirk once joked that Scotty had earned that title by multiplying his repair time estimates by four, thus making it seem that he had performed those repairs in an amazingly small amount of time. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock).
~1:[1,#B],22:[1,#B],29:[1,#B],33:[1,#B],39:[8,#I]@1Miradorn@2Species in which sets of twins have an almost symbiotic relationship; the two halves make the whole person. The Miradorn Ro-Kel was killed by the Rakhari fugitive Croden, causing his twin Ah-Kel to swear revenge. (“Vortex” [DS9]). The Miradorn ship was designed by Ricardo Delgado.
~1:[2,#B],13:[1,#B],49:[1,#B],81:[1,#I],124:[11,#I]@1Miramanee’s planet@2Class-M planet onto which an ancient civilization known as the Preservers had transplanted several tribes of Native Americans centuries ago. The planet was in the midst of a dangerous asteroid belt, so the Preservers provided a powerful deflector device known to the Native Americans as the Obelisk. The Preservers taught the tribe’s medicine man how to operate the deflector, but one medicine man failed to pass that information to his son, so in 2268, the planet was defenseless. Enterprise personnel attempted to protect the planet from a large asteroid in that year, but were unsuccessful. Kirk, injured on the planet’s surface, accidentally figured out how to access the deflector controls so that the planet could be saved. (“The Paradise Syndrome” [TOS]). Miramanee’s planet was not given a formal name in the episode.
~1:[1,#B],26:[1,#B],28:[1,#I],30:[3,#B],116:[1,#B]@1Miramanee@2(Sabrina Scharf). Tribal priestess from a group of Native Americans whose ancestors, centuries before, had been transplanted from Earth by people known as the Preservers. When Enterprise Captain James T. Kirk was stricken by amnesia on her planet’s surface in 2268, Kirk’s appearance was interpreted by tribal elders as a fulfillment of prophecy, and Kirk was decreed to be a god. Accordingly, tribal custom demanded that Miramanee marry Kirk, and the two fell in love and conceived a child. Their happiness did not last, as the tribe turned against Kirk when they learned he was mortal, fatally injuring Miramanee. She and her unborn child died in her husband’s arms. (“The Paradise Syndrome” [TOS]). SEE: Kirok.

Miranda -class starships have included the Reliant (Star Trek II), theSaratoga (Star Trek IV), and another Saratoga (of a higher registry number and a slightly different design, seen in “Emissary” [DS9]). Miranda -class ships were similar to Soyuz -class vessels. Named for Prospero’s daughter, a character in William Shakespeare’s last play, The Tempest.
~1:[2,#B],84:[1,#I],124:[1,#B],127:[23,#I]@1Mirell, Korenna@2(Eve H. Brenner). Enaran woman whose lover, a Regressive man named Dathan Alaris, was killed in the mid-24th century. Alaris was murdered by the Enaran people, who systematically exterminated his ethnic minority. In following years, the Enarans lied to their descendents about the disappearance of the Regressives. Decades later, after a lifetime of keeping the secret, Jora Korenna Mirell decided to let the truth be known. In 2373, Korenna was able to use her telepathic abilities to pass her experiences to Voyager crew member B’Elanna Torres. Shortly after she had imparted her knowledge to Torres, Korenna died, apparently murdered by other Enarans who wished the dark truth to remain a secret. Torres subsequently passed Korenna’s truth to a Enaran woman named Jessen. (“Remember” [VGR]). “Jora” was a title of address prefixed to the name of an elder Enaran woman. Eve Brenner previously played Inad in “Violations” (TNG).
~1:[1,#B],66:[2,#I],91:[10,#I]@1Miri@2(Kim Darby). A young woman who survived a disastrous biological experiment on her planet. The experiment was intended to create a virus that would extend human life, but resulted in the deaths of all the adults on her world. Only the children survived, their lives greatly extended, until they reached puberty and died a painful death. Miri had reached puberty at the time the U.S.S. Enterprise contacted her planet in 2266, but was saved when Dr. Leonard McCoy was able to develop an antitoxin for the virus. (“Miri” [TOS]). Miri’s planet was not given a name in the episode.
~1:[2,#B],19:[3,#B],24:[1,#B]@1Miridian VI@2An uninhabited planet near the Romulan Neutral Zone. During a virtual reality engineered by Barash on Alpha Onias III in 2367, Barash (as Ethan) said he had been captured by Romulans while living on Miridian VI. (“Future Imperfect” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],19:[2,#B],27:[9,#I],38:[2,#I]@1Mirok@2(Thomas Kopache). Science officer aboard a Romulan science vessel, in charge of developing and testing an experimental interphase generator in 2368. (“The Next Phase” [TNG]). Thomas Kopache also played a communications officer on the U.S.S. Enterprise -B in Star Trek Generations.
~1:[2,#B],19:[2,#B]@1Mirren, Oliana@2(Estee Chandler). One of three candidates who competed with Wesley Crusher for a single opening to Starfleet Academy in 2364. Mirren, a brilliant human female, was a runner-up in the competition. (“Coming of Age” [TNG]).

Virtually everything in the mirror universe is duplicated, but in many cases is opposite in nature to its counterpart in our own universe. Captain Kirk and a few members from the Enterprise were thrust into this parallel existence after beaming during an ion storm, finding the mirror universe to be a brutally savage place. Spock’s counterpart in the mirror universe believed his brutally oppressive government would inevitably spur a revolt, resulting in a terrible dark age. The mirror Spock indicated a willingness to help reform his government to possibly avert this sequence of events. (“Mirror, Mirror” [TOS]). SEE: Enterprise, I.S.S.; Kirk (mirror); Spock (mirror); Tantalus field. Led by Spock (mirror), the Terran Empire embraced disarmament and peace, but this was, unfortunately, ill-timed and left the empire open to be conquered by the Alliance of Klingon and Cardassian forces. Terrans were reduced to slave status. A second contact with our universe occurred in 2370, when a runabout’s warp-drive malfunction sent Deep Space 9 officers Kira and Bashir into the mirror universe by way of the Bajoran wormhole. Although Kira and Bashir soon returned home, they planted the seeds of human rebellion with potential freedom fighters on station Terok Nor (mirror). (“Crossover” [DS9]). Benjamin Sisko (mirror) led the Terran resistance from a secret base in the Badlands. The mirror Sisko was killed in 2371 when his ship was destroyed by Cardassian forces. Terran forces quickly regrouped, however, under the leadership of Sisko’s counterpart from our universe. This Benjamin Sisko visited the mirror universe long enough to convince Jennifer Sisko (mirror) to abandon work on a transpectral sensor array that would have made it impossible for Terran operatives to hide in the Badlands. (“Through the Looking Glass” [DS9]). By 2372, the resistance had driven the Alliance from Terok Nor. Terrans at the station built a powerful new ship, the Defiant (mirror), that they used in their fight. (“Shattered Mirror” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B],5:[2,#B],16:[1,#I]@1Mishiama wristlock@2Martial-arts technique. Tasha Yar practiced the Mishiama wristlock for a competition aboard the Enterprise -D just prior to her death in 2364. (“Skin of Evil” [TNG]).

The series dealt with a group of secret agents who engaged in extralegal adventures on behalf of their government. Rain Robinson said that she’d seen every episode of Mission: Impossible. (“Future’s End, Part II” [VGR]). Mission: Impossible was produced at Desilu Studios on Stages 7 and 8, right next door to Stages 9 and 10, where the original Star Trek was filmed. Leonard Nimoy, who played Spock in the original Star Trek series, played a character named Paris in Mission: Impossible. William Shatner and Mark Lenard also had guest roles on the show. Other Star Trek veterans included Bob Justman, who was the associate producer, and art director Matt Jefferies, both of whom worked on the show’s pilot episode.
~1:[2,#B],8:[2,#B]@1Mitchell, Admiral@2Starfleet officer in charge of Starbase 97. (“Starship Mine” [TNG]).

Starfleet officer who was killed during an exploratory mission beyond the rim of the galaxy in 2265. Mitchell was a friend of James T. Kirk when they attended Starfleet Academy together. Gary once risked his life for Kirk by taking a poison dart thrown by rodent creatures on planet Dimorus. Kirk requested Mitchell on his first command, and Mitchell, who then held the rank of lieutenant commander, also served aboard the Enterprise early during Kirk’s first five-year mission. In 2265, Mitchell was mutated into a godlike being after exposure to radiation at an energy barrier at the edge of the galaxy. Mitchell died on planet Delta Vega, and was listed as having given his life in the line of duty. (“Where No Man Has Gone Before” [TOS]). SEE: barrier, galactic. Gary Lockwood also starred in the classic science-fiction movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.
~1:[1,#B],5:[2,#B],14:[1,#B],17:[1,#I],29:[2,#I]@1Mithren@2Planet in the Delta Quadrant. Mithren has a form of structured government. Neelix, of the Voyager, had friends there.

~1:[1,#B],8:[2,#B],44:[2,#B]@1Mizarians@2The humanoid residents of the planet Mizar II. Distinguished by a gray wrinkled complexion, the Mizarians valued peace above confrontation. As a result, the Mizarians were conquered six times in a period of 300 years. The Mizarians survived by offering no resistance. Kova Tholl was Mizarian. (“Allegiance” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],21:[2,#B],25:[1,#B],28:[3,#B],40:[1,#B]@1MK-12 scanner@2Cardassian security device. An MK-12 scanner was used to verify the identity of those storing valuables at the assay office on the Promenade of station Deep Space 9. When entrusting several archaeological artifacts to the assay office, Vash questioned the office’s clerk as to whether an MK-12 scanner with an L-90 enhanced resolution filter was adequate to prevent theft. (“Q-Less” [DS9]).
~1:[3,#B],16:[1,#B],104:[5,#B]@1mnemonic memory circuit@2Device improvised by Spock that allowed the retrieval of data from a tricorder when Spock and Kirk were trapped in Earth’s past. Spock had constructed the circuit out of primitive electrical and radio components available in Earth’s 1930s. Using the device, they were able to trace the flow of history as altered by Dr. McCoy and to locate the focal point in time where McCoy changed history. Spock complained to Kirk that he was working with tools at the primitive level of stone knives and bearskins, but finished the project nevertheless. (“The City on the Edge of Forever” [TOS]). SEE: Guardian of Forever; Keeler, Edith.
~1:[2,#B],9:[2,#B],34:[1,#I],47:[17,#I],65:[2,#B]@1Moab IV@2A harsh, inhospitable planet in the Moab Sector. Moab IV was colonized in 2168 by a group of humans who sought to create a perfect society there. The crew of the Enterprise -D discovered this previously unknown colony in 2368. (“The Masterpiece Society” [TNG]). Named for the ancient kingdom that flourished on Earth during Biblical times in what is now Jordan. SEE: Genome Colony.
~1:[2,#B],8:[1,#I],20:[3,#B],35:[1,#I],45:[2,#B]@1Moab Sector@2Region of Federation space. The Enterprise -D was assigned to the Moab Sector to track an errant stellar core fragment and to monitor resulting planetary disruptions in 2368. During the mission, the Enterprise -D found a previously unknown human colony on planet Moab IV. (“The Masterpiece Society” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#BI],2:[1,#B],5:[1,#I]@1moba fruit@2Bajoran food. Moba fruit was served on Deep Space 9 in 2372 at the reception for the Trill science team led by Lenara Kahn. (“Rejoined” [DS9]).

He was killed on stardate 50416 with a micro-explosive implanted behind his ear. It was an act of vengeance by Silaran Prin for the explosion that disfigured him years earlier during the Cardassian occupation of Bajor. (“The Darkness and the Light” [DS9]).
~1:[1,#BI],15:[1,#I],62:[4,#I]@1Moby-Dick@2Classic story written by Earth novelist Herman Melville (1819-1891), first published in 1851. Moby-Dick’s main character, Captain Ahab, was a sea captain who spent years hunting an enormous cetacean that had crippled him, so that he could exact revenge against it. Lily Sloane compared Captain Picard to Ahab because Picard seemed to want revenge on the Borg at any cost. (Star Trek: First Contact).
~1:[2,#B],7:[3,#B]@1Modean system@2Inhabited planetary system. Young Geordi La Forge was once stationed with his father in the Modean system. (“Imaginary Friend” [TNG]).

Mogh and his wife were killed in the Khitomer massacre of 2346, after following Ja’rod to Khitomer because Mogh suspected him of disloyalty. Mogh’s suspicions were correct: Ja’rod betrayed his people at Khitomer by providing secret defense codes to the Romulans. Mogh was survived by his sons, Worf and Kurn. Years later, in 2366, Ja’rod’s son, Klingon High Council member Duras, falsified evidence in an attempt to conceal Ja’rod’s actions and to implicate Mogh. Worf and Kurn challenged the accusations before the High Council, but council leader K’mpec was not willing to expose the powerful Duras family. (“Sins of the Father” [TNG]). Honor was restored to the house of Mogh in late 2367 when the sons of Mogh agreed to support the Gowron regime during the Klingon civil war. (“Redemption, Parts I and II” [TNG]). In 2369, Worf investigated a report that Mogh had not been killed at Khitomer and that he had survived at a secret Romulan prison camp in the Carraya System. Although the camp was real, Worf learned from one of the inmates that the report was untrue. (“Birthright, Part II” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],10:[1,#B],13:[1,#I],15:[2,#B],39:[32,#I]@1Mojave@2Southwestern region of the North American continent on Earth. Home to Enterprise Captain Christopher Pike (born early 23rd century), the area boasted glittering cities surrounded by wide belts of parkland. (“The Cage,” “The Menagerie, Part II” [TOS]). The scenic background of the distant Mojave city, seen at Pike’s picnic with Tango, was later re-used as the skyline of a city on Planet Q in “Conscience of the King” (TOS).

Worf taught a Mok’bara class to his Enterprise -D shipmates most mornings at 0700. (“Man of the People” [TNG]). Worf taught the Mok’bara to his fellow captives at the secret Romulan prison camp in the Carraya System in 2369. The exercises, designed to enhance one’s agility in hand-to-hand combat, helped to revive the dormant warrior spirit among the captives there. (“Birthright, Part II” [TNG]). The Mok’bara exercises were invented by martial-arts expert (and visual effects producer) Dan Curry.

The work of both men in this field made possible the positronic brain in the android Data. (“The Schizoid Man” [TNG]).
~1:[3,#B],9:[1,#B],45:[2,#B]@1molecular imaging scanner@2Subsystem within a Federation starship’s transporter. The molecular imaging scanner is responsible for creating the data matrix that describes every particle of the transport subject. A faulty imaging scanner could result in a transport subject being improperly re-created. (“Tuvix” [VGR]). SEE: Heisenberg compensator.
~1:[3,#B],28:[2,#B]@1molecular phase inverter@2Romulan device that could alter the molecular structure of matter so it could pass through “normal” matter and energy. (“The Next Phase” [TNG]). SEE: interphase generator.
~1:[3,#B],8:[2,#BI],47:[1,#I],57:[2,#B]@1molecular reversion field@2Mysterious energy pattern. The Shuttlecraft Fermi passed through a molecular reversion field on stardate 46235. The field caused the shuttle’s structure to deteriorate and prevented a clean transporter lock on its crew. Finally, the field caused Picard and the other members of the Fermi crew to be reduced to children. (“Rascals” [TNG]). SEE: rybo-viroxic-nucleic structure.
~1:[2,#B],16:[2,#I],22:[2,#B]@1molecular signature@2Physical frequency at which all matter in the universe resonates. In 2372, the Starship Voyager was duplicated by a spatial scission. The two resulting ships had slightly differing molecular signatures. (“Deadlock” [VGR]).
~1:[2,#B],23:[1,#B]@1molecular-decay detonator@2A technology used exclusively in Romulan weapons. A detonator of this type was found in the bomb that exploded aboard K’mpec's ship in 2367, providing compelling evidence of Romulan involvement. (“Reunion” [TNG]).
