A typical sector in Federation space will contain about 6 to 10 star systems, although sectors toward the galactic core will often contain many more. The Milky Way Galaxy is divided into hundreds of thousands of sectors, grouped into four quadrants. Sectors are usually numbered, although in common usage they are often named for a major star or planet located in that sector. The numbering system for sectors had been inconsistently used (and sometimes interchanged with quadrants) during the show, especially in its early days. We assume that some sectors may retain older designations from previous mapping systems, much as present-day astronomers still use NGC and Messier catalog numbers.
Sector 001. Region that includes the G2-type star known as Sol and the nine planets in its system, including Earth. Sector 001 was the destination of the invading Borg ship in 2366. (“The Best of Both Worlds, Parts I and II” [TNG]). The original and motion picture Enterprise returned to Sector 001 in “Tomorrow Is Yesterday” (TOS), Star Trek I, Star Trek III, Star Trek IV, Star Trek V, and Star Trek VI, although the term “Sector 001” was not invented until “The Best of Both Worlds” (TNG). The Enterprise -D also returned to Sector 001 in “Conspiracy” (TNG), “Family” (TNG), “The First Duty” (TNG), and “Time’s Arrow, Part I” (TNG). The original Enterprise was there in “Tomorow is Yesterday” (TOS) and the first three Star Trek movies. The Enterprise -A was there in Star Trek IV, V, and VI.
Sector 3-0. Region of space near the Romulan Neutral Zone. Two Federation outposts were destroyed there in late 2364 by an unknown agency later believed to be the Borg. (“The Neutral Zone” [TNG]).
Sector 3-1. Located near the Romulan Neutral Zone. Communications were lost with Federation starbases in this sector on stardate 41903.2 (late 2364). It was later believed that this was due to Borg activity in the area. (“The Neutral Zone” [TNG]).
Sector 23. Stellar area near the Romulan Neutral Zone, the location of Starbase 173. (“The Measure of a Man” [TNG]).
Sector 39J. Region where the Gamma 7A System was destroyed by a spaceborne amoeba creature in 2268. The U.S.S. Intrepid was also lost in Sector 39J, another victim of the amoeba. (“The Immunity Syndrome” [TOS]).
Sector 401. Region of space where the runabout Rio Grande was sighted by the Romulan vessel Gasko shortly after stardate 47573. (“Paradise” [DS9]).
Sector 1385. Volume of space in the Alpha Quadrant that contained no known shipping lanes. Romulan scientist Telek R’Mor was on a research mission in sector 1385 in the year 2351 when he discovered a micro-wormhole leading to the Delta Quadrant. (“Eye of the Needle” [VGR]).
Sector 1607. Location where the U.S.S. Pegasus was lost in 2358. The Enterprise -D was assigned to rendezvous with the Starship Crazy Horse in this sector in 2370. (“The Pegasus” [TNG]).
Sector 2520. Stellar region located near the Klingon-Federation border. Lieutenant Aquiel Uhnari, escaping from Relay Station 47 aboard a shuttlecraft in 2369, was captured as her ship approached that sector. (“Aquiel” [TNG]).
Sector 19658. Uninhabited region outside of Federation space. (In an alternate quantum reality visited by Worf in 2370, the Argus Array had be redirected to relay its visual information to this sector.) (“Parallels” [TNG]).
Sector 21305. An area of space where the Enterprise -D conducted a surveying mission in 2368. (“Ensign Ro” [TNG]).
Sector 21503. Federation space near the Cardassian border. The Enterprise -D conducted a mapping survey there in 2367. (“The Wounded” [TNG]).
Sector 21505. Stellar region located in Cardassian space. A Cardassian science station destroyed by the Starship Phoenix was in this region. (“The Wounded” [TNG]).
Sector 21947. Area of space considered to be Talarian territory. The Enterprise -D ventured into this sector in response to a distress call from a damaged Talarian observation craft in 2367. (“Suddenly Human” [TNG]).
Sector 37628. Stellar region. The Enterprise -D was scheduled to survey this sector on stardate 45587. The mission was delayed due to the accident involving the U.S.S. Denver. (“Ethics” [TNG]).
~1:[3,#B],72:[4,#I],156:[1,#I]@1security access code@2Password used by Starfleet personnel to provide positive identification when requesting restricted computer functions or information. Both the password and the user’s voiceprint were used to confirm the user’s identity. Security access codes were changed occasionally. Picard’s security code as of stardate 42494 was “Omicron-omicron-alpha-yellow-daystar-2-7.” (“Unnatural Selection” [TNG]). Later, it was “Picard-delta-5” (“Chain of Command, Part I” [TNG]), and “Picard Gamma 6-0-7-3” (“Starship Mine” [TNG]), then “Picard 4-7-alpha-tango.” (Star Trek: First Contact). Riker’s security access code as of stardate 42523 was “theta alpha 2-7-3-7, blue.” (“The Measure of a Man” [TNG]). Later, it was “Riker-omega-3.” (“Rascals” [TNG]). Geordi La Forge: “La Forge theta-9-9-0.” (“Tin Man” [TNG]). Captain Edward Jellico: “Jellico alpha 3-1.” (“Chain of Command, Part II” [TNG]). Captain Kathryn Janeway: “Janeway 8-1-4-alpha-6-5” (“Cathexis” [VGR]), “Janeway pi 1-1-0.” (“Dreadnought” [VGR], “Deadlock” [VGR]), and “Janeway lambda-3.” (“Coda” [VGR]). Engineering authorization: omega 4-7. (“Investigations” [VGR]). Kazon-Nistrim defense net: “4-9-1-1-7-0-Culluh.” (“Basics, Part I” [VGR]). The Voyager’s EMH used “Emergency Medical Priority 1-1-4.” Seska used “Culluh-0-0.” (“Basics, Part II” [VGR]). Kira Nerys: “Kira one-five-seven alpha.” (“The Darkness and the Light” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B]@1security anklet@2Device used by Starfleet authorities to track the whereabouts of a criminal or other prisoner. Worn around the ankle of a humanoid prisoner, the anklet contains a transponder and cannot be removed, except by authorized personnel. (“Caretaker” [VGR], “Non Sequitur” [VGR]).
~1:[3,#B],18:[1,#B],42:[2,#B]@1security bypass module@2Small electronic component used to circumvent security restrictions in computer-controlled devices. Bajoran religious terrorist Neela used a security bypass module to gain illegal access to runabout pad A on Deep Space 9, part of the plot to assassinate Vedek Bareil in 2369. (“In the Hands of the Prophets” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B],53:[2,#B],77:[2,#B]@1security clearance@2An authorization needed to access restricted functions in key computer systems. Functions of increasing criticality generally required increasing levels of security clearance. Aboard station Deep Space 9, security clearance 5 was required to access the locations of repaired replicators in ops during the stationwide computer malfunctions preceeding discovery of the aphasia device on stardate 46423. Quark needed a security clearance of 5 to access such information, but he averted the problem by switching several isolinear rods to obtain the data. (“Babel” [DS9]). Security clearance level 7 was needed to access the location of weapons stored on station Deep Space 9. (“Captive Pursuit” [DS9]).
~1:[4,#B],9:[1,#B],23:[3,#B],50:[2,#B],61:[25,#I]@1security field subsystem ANA@2Computer program devised by Neela, but classified under Chief O’Brien’s name, intended to bypass the security defenses on Deep Space 9. The subprogram was designed to override the security force fields approaching runabout pad A, thus allowing her to escape after her planned assassination of Vedek Bareil in 2369. (“In the Hands of the Prophets” [DS9]). In an early draft of the episode, the character of Neela was named Anara. The subsystem code ANA was an accidental holdover from that draft.
~1:[2,#B],48:[1,#B]@1security sensor@2Specialized devices used to detect the presence of weapons or other contraband. Security sensors on station Deep Space 9 were designed to sound an alarm upon detection of unauthorized weapons passing through the airlocks to the interior of the station. The security sensor detected the Hunters’ weapons and activated the alert. (“Captive Pursuit” [DS9]).
~1:[1,#BI],14:[1,#B],25:[1,#I],30:[11,#I],42:[3,#I]@1sehlat@2A Vulcan animal resembling a large teddy bear with six-inch fangs. When Spock was a boy, he was very fond of his pet sehlat. (“Journey to Babel” [TOS]). The animated episode “Yesteryear,” written by Dorothy Fontana, suggests that Spock’s sehlat was named I-Chaya.
~1:[2,#B]@1seismic regulator@2Device used to control seismic activity in a planet’s crust. Seismic regulators were being installed in a subterranean cavern under the city of San Francisco on Earth in late 2368 when a work crew discovered the severed head of Data, which had been buried there for five centuries. (“Time’s Arrow, Part I” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],13:[1,#I],17:[2,#B],63:[3,#B],77:[1,#B],113:[1,#B],143:[1,#B],147:[3,#B],156:[1,#B],185:[1,#B],191:[1,#B],212:[1,#I],221:[42,#I]@1Sela@2(Denise Crosby). Romulan operative who claimed to be the daughter of Enterprise -D Security Officer Natasha Yar and a Romulan official. Although Yar died in 2364 without ever having a child, it was believed that an alternate version of Yar entered this continuum in 2366, then went into the past, where she gave birth to Sela. (“Redemption, Part II” [TNG]). SEE: Yar, Natasha (alternate). Sela emerged in 2367 as a key figure in the ongoing Romulan hegemony in Klingon and Federation politics. She spearheaded an operation in that year that unsuccessfully attempted to use mental conditioning to reprogram Starfleet officer Geordi La Forge so that La Forge would assassinate Klingon Governor Vagh, which would have created distrust between the Klingon and Federation governments. (“The Mind’s Eye” [TNG]). Later that year, Sela commanded a covert action to provide military supplies to the Duras family during the Klingon civil war in an attempt to destabilize the Gowron regime. (“Redemption, Parts I and II” [TNG]). In 2368, Sela spearheaded a plan to use the underground Romulan-Vulcan reunification movement as a cover for an attempted invasion of Vulcan. She tried to force Ambassador Spock to reassure Vulcan authorities that the Romulan invasion force was actually a peace delegation, but her plan was thwarted by Enterprise -D personnel. (“Unification, Parts I and II” [TNG]). Sela was first seen as a mysterious woman in the shadows in “The Mind’s Eye” (TNG). Denise Crosby provided Sela’s voice for that episode, although Sela’s silhouette was played by a photo-double. Crosby was first seen as Sela in “Redemption, Part I.”

A Vulcan, Dr. Selar was part of the away team answering a distress call from Gravesworld, and was present when noted cyberneticist Dr. Ira Graves died there of Darnay’s disease in 2365. (“The Schizoid Man” [TNG]). Although “The Schizoid Man” was the only appearance of Dr. Selar, we heard her being paged aboard the alternate Enterprise -D in “Yesterday’s Enterprise” (TNG), and Dr Crusher mentioned her in other episodes including “Remember Me” (TNG), “Tapestry” (TNG), “Suspicions” (TNG), “Sub Rosa” (TNG) and “Genesis” (TNG). Actor Suzie Plakson, who played Selar, also portrayed Emissary K’Ehleyr and the Q female.
~1:[1,#B],9:[2,#B],37:[1,#B]@1Selay@2One of two habitable planets in the Beta Renna star system, as well as the name of the sentient reptilian people from that world. Since achieving spaceflight, the Selay had been bitter enemies with the Anticans, who came from the other habitable planet in their system. Both the Selay and the Anticans applied for admission to the Federation in 2364. (“Lonely Among Us” [TNG]).
~1:[3,#B],20:[2,#B],47:[1,#I]@1Selcundi Drema sector@2Stellar region in which are located five geologically similar planetary systems. One planet in the region, Drema IV, was found to be dangerously unstable, threatening the humanoid civilization living there. Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher was in charge of planetary mineral surveys during the Enterprise -D mission to the region in 2365. (“Pen Pals” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],46:[2,#B],59:[1,#B]@1Selcundi Drema@2Star system in the Selcundi Drema sector. All the planets in this system (as well as in the other systems in the sector) exhibited unusual geologic instabilities. The fifth planet of this system disintegrated around 2215, forming an asteroid belt. The fourth planet, Drema IV, was the home of a humanoid civilization. (“Pen Pals” [TNG]). SEE: Sarjenka.
~1:[3,#B],34:[1,#B],41:[2,#B]@1Seldonis IV Convention@2Interstellar treaty governing the treatment of prisoners of war. Both the United Federation of Planets and the Cardassian Union were signatories to the accord. Following Captain Picard’s capture by the Cardassians in 2369, Picard was tortured by Gul Madred, in violation of that treaty. Madred claimed Picard had been acting without Federation orders, and was therefore not entitled to the protection of the Seldonis Convention. (“Chain of Command, Part II” [TNG]).
~1:[3,#B],11:[1,#I]@1Selebi Asteroid Belt@2Debris field located in Sector 396. The Enterprise -D charted the Selebi belt in 2366. (“The Offspring” [TNG]).

~1:[2,#B],5:[1,#B],21:[1,#BI],29:[1,#BI],33:[7,#I]@1Seleya, Mount@2On planet Vulcan, a mountain on whose summit is located an ancient temple. Mount Seleya was where a fal-tor-pan ceremony was performed in 2285, rejoining Spock’s katra with his body. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock).
~1:[2,#B],13:[2,#B],34:[2,#B],60:[3,#B]@1self-destruct sequence@2Command program in the main computer system of Cardassian station Terok Nor enabling the destruction of the station should it fall into non-Cardassian hands. In 2371, Jake Sisko inadvertently triggered a counterinsurgency program that activated the self-destruct sequence. Once the self-destruct sequence was initiated, the station’s main fusion reactor was set to overload. (“Civil Defense” [DS9]). SEE: autodestruct; destruct sequence.
~1:[3,#B],9:[1,#B],11:[2,#B],15:[2,#B],57:[4,#I]@1self-sealing stem bolt@2Useful gizmo. On stardate 46844, Nog and Jake Sisko traded some yamok sauce for 100 gross of self-sealing stem bolts, eventually trading them for seven tessipates of land on planet Bajor. (“Progress” [DS9]). Self-sealing stem bolts can be used in the production of reverse-ratcheting routing planers. (“Prophet Motive” [DS9], “By Inferno’s Light” [DS9]). Makes sense to us....
~1:[1,#B],9:[1,#B],26:[5,#I]@1selgninaem@2A highly toxic substance capable of causing nucleosynthesis in silicon. Selgninaem is not normally detectable by a starship’s internal sensor scans. (“Hollow Pursuits” [TNG]). “Selignaem” is “meaningles(s)” spelled backwards.

~1:[3,#B],5:[1,#B],7:[2,#B]@1Senarian egg broth@2Soup. Mareel gave Miles O’Brien a bowl of Senarian egg broth after the chief suffered a phaser stun in 2370. (“Invasive Procedures” [DS9]).
~1: [2, #b], 14: [1, #b], 15: [3, #b]@1sensor web@2Shawl-like garment into which was woven a highly sophisticated string of sensors. Dr. Miranda Jones wore a sensor web that fed her sensory information about her surroundings, and helped to hide the fact that she was blind. (“Is There in Truth no Beauty?”[TOS]).
~1:[1,#B],36:[1,#I],39:[1,#B],89:[1,#I],90:[1,#BI],103:[1,#I]@1sensor@2Any of a wide range of scientific, medical, and engineering instruments such as those used aboard Federation starships for detection and analysis at a distance. (“Where No Man Has Gone Before” [TOS]). The original Enterprise used a duotronic sensor array that had sensor nulls in its scan cycle of almost three seconds’ duration. (“Trials and Tribble-ations” [DS9]). Under certain conditions, a ship in orbit above a planet’s magnetic pole can be difficult to detect by sensors. William Riker once used this phenomenon while a lieutenant aboard the Starship Potemkin to obscure the ship from an opponent. (“Peak Performance” [TNG]). On the Enterprise -D, there were 15,525 known substances that could not be detected by standard internal scans. (“Hollow Pursuits” [TNG]).
~1:[3,#B],31:[1,#B],77:[3,#B],92:[2,#B],102:[2,#I]@1sentient holographic life-form@2Forms of life that were created by means of holo-imaging devices and computer programmed behavior. These beings were considered alive for the same reason that androids like Data were deemed alive by Starfleet. Similarly, holographic beings that had exceeded their programming and developed sentience were considered to be bona fide life-forms. Fortunately, this happened only infrequently; otherwise every holodeck-created character could never be shut off once activated. Examples of sentient holographic life-forms include Professor James Moriarty (“Elementary Dear Data” [TNG], “Ship in a Bottle” [TNG]), the inhabitants of Yadera II (“Shadowplay” [DS9]), and the holographic doctor aboard the Starship Voyager (“Caretaker” [VGR]).
~1:[3,#B],13:[2,#BI],21:[1,#B]@1Sentinel Minor IV@2Planet. Sentinel Minor IV was the destination of the U.S.S. Lalo when it was attacked by a Borg ship and disappeared in 2366. (“The Best of Both Worlds, Part I” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],14:[2,#B],60:[1,#B]@1sentry@2A tightly confined annular force field that was discovered on the moon Lambda Paz in the Pentarus star system. The sentry surrounded a water fountain in a cave on that desert planet, serving to protect that valuable resource. It was not clear if the sentry itself was a life-form, but it responded effectively to the attempts of Captain Dirgo, as well as those of Jean-Luc Picard and Wesley Crusher, when they attempted to get water from the fountain after they crashed on Lambda Paz in 2367. Dirgo was killed by the sentry. (“Final Mission” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],6:[1,#B],15:[2,#B]@1Senva, Healer@2Physician from the Vulcan Medical Institute. Senva was nominated to receive the Carrington Award in 2371 but did not win. (“Prophet Motive” [DS9]).

~1:[1,#B],54:[7,#B],61:[4,#I],65:[2,#BI],67:[5,#I]@1Septimus@2(Ian Wolfe). Leader of a group of slaves on planet Eight Ninety-Two-IV who hid in the caves away from the Roman culture on that planet. A former senator active in Roman society, he heard the words of the Son, gave up his lifestyle, and became a slave. (“Bread and Circuses” [TOS]). SEE: Children of the Sun; Eight Ninety-Two-IV, Planet. Ian Wolfe also played Mr. Atoz in “All Our Yesterdays” (TOS).
~1:[1,#BI],6:[1,#I],22:[2,#B]@1Sepulo@2Ferengi transport ship. The Sepulo visited station Deep Space 9 in 2369 for a major trade conference convened by the grand nagus. (“The Nagus” [DS9]).

~1:[2,#B],15:[3,#B],24:[1,#B],35:[5,#I]@1Serilian ambassador@2Representative of the Serilian government. The Serilian ambassador planned to arrive at Deep Space 9 shortly after stardate 48423.2. Security Chief Odo worked on security protocols for the ambassador’s arrival. (“Meridian” [DS9]) We never saw the ambassador.
~1:[2,#B],13:[2,#B],20:[1,#B]@1sero-amino readout@2A medical test. Dr. Crusher performed a sero-amino test on Reginald Barclay following his exposure to a Cytherian probe in 2367. (“The Nth Degree” [TNG])
~1:[1,#B],16:[2,#B]@1serotonin@2Biochemical substance that serves as a central neurotransmitter in humanoid nervous systems. The addictive Ktaran game initiated a serotonin cascade in the frontal lobe of the brain. (“The Game” [TNG]).

Hekaran scientist who, in 2366, theorized that repeated and prolonged use of warp travel in the Hekaras Corridor was damaging the very fabric of space. The Federation Science Council initially found insufficient evidence to back up her theory and declined to act on her recommendations to limit the use of warp drive. Serova continued to work on her research, and by 2370, she, along with her brother, Rabal, felt they had enough data to finally prove her theories. She was unwilling to wait for the year it would take for the Federation Science Council to come a review her claims. She and Rabal chose instead to booby-trap the Hekaras Corridor with verteron mines, theorizing that if the mines disabled enough ships, Starfleet would send a vessel to investigate. The Enterprise -D was dispatched, and it, too, became disabled. Captain Jean-Luc Picard reviewed her research and agreed to recommend Serova’s work to the Science Council. Serova was nevertheless impatient and was killed while proving her theory by triggering a warp core breach in her ship, causing a subspace rupture. The Federation Science Council subsequently imposed Federation-wide limits on the use of warp drive to avoid further damage to the continuum. (“Force of Nature” [TNG]). The restrictions remained in place until advances in warp-drive technology made it possible to avoid such damage.
~1:[3,#B],12:[1,#B],14:[3,#B]@1serpent of Xol@2Legendary beast that was slain by the great Klingon warrior Kahless the Unforgettable. (“The Sword of Kahless” [DS9]).

Cardassian agent who was surgically altered to appear Bajoran, then assigned to infiltrate the Maquis terrorist group. (“State of Flux” [VGR]). Accepted as a member of the Maquis, Seska joined the crew of the Starship Voyager after her Maquis vessel was destroyed in the Delta Quadrant in 2371. Aboard the Voyager, she worked as an engineering officer. Seska and Chakotay had once been lovers. (“Parallax” [VGR]). Her role as a Cardassian agent was discovered on stardate 48658, when she was caught selling Federation replicator technology to the Kazon-Nistrim sect. (“State of Flux” [VGR]). Seska fled to the Nistrim, where she sought the assistance of Jal Culluh. She helped Culluh in a bold, but unsuccessful attempt to steal a transporter module from the Starship Voyager. Seska continued to use her past relationship with Chakotay in an effort to undermine his dealings with the Nistrim, informing him that she had used Chakotay’s DNA to artificially impregnate herself. (“Maneuvers” [VGR]). She also used her pregnancy to manipulate Culluh, also telling him that the child was his. (“Alliances” [VGR]). She instructed Voyager crew member Michael Jonas to sabotage the ship’s warp systems. (“Lifesigns” [VGR]). Late in 2372, Seska gave birth to a son, which was actually fathered by Culluh, not Chakotay as she had intended. Seska was killed after she helped Nistrim forces capture the Starship Voyager, when Voyager crew members retook their ship. Culluh subsequently took custody of his child. (“Basics, Parts I and II” [VGR]). Seska said in “Prime Factors” (VGR) that she had a brother, but she may have been lying. Seska was first seen in “Parallax” (VGR). She also appeared in “Phage” (VGR), “Emanations” (VGR), and “Maneuvers” (VGR). Martha Hackett previously portrayed Subcommander T’Rul in “The Search, Parts I and II” (DS9).
~1:[2,#B],8:[2,#B]@1Setal, Sublieutenant@2Identity assumed by Romulan Admiral Alidar Jarok when he defected to the Federation in 2366. As Setal, Jarok claimed to be a low-ranking logistics officer, but his true identity was later discovered. (“The Defector” [TNG]).

The SETI greeting was intended to be intelligible by any technologically sophisticated civilization, and conveyed information about Earth’s position in the galaxy, information about life on Earth, and greetings in many different Earth languages. Earth astronomer Rain Robinson transmitted a SETI greeting to the U.S.S. Voyager in 1996 when she believed the starship to be of extrasolar origin. (“Future’s End, Part I” [VGR]). Robinson’s SETI greeting was loosely based on messages that NASA sent into interstellar space aboard its Pioneer and Voyager space probes. Those SETI greetings, in the form of a plaque on Pioneer 10 and 11, and a record on Voyager 1 and 2, were designed by astronomers Carl Sagan and Frank Drake, et al. A replica of the Pioneer 10 plaque was among the wall decorations in Rain Robinson’s SETI lab. We saw the Pioneer 10 plaque (and the Pioneer spacecraft itself) destroyed by a Klingon ship in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

A key concept in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence was a mathematical concept known as the Drake Equation. In 1996, the program was privately supported with funds from such organizations as the Chronowerx corporation. SETI astronomer Rain Robinson actually detected the Starship Voyager in Earth orbit in that year, but this information was suppressed by Chronowerx executive Harry Starling. (“Future’s End, Part I” [VGR]). In real life, financial supporters of SETI programs include Microsoft chairman Bill Gates and filmmaker Steven Spielberg.
~1:[2,#B],19:[1,#B],36:[3,#B],40:[1,#I],41:[1,#BI]@1Setlik III@2Planet. Site of a Federation outpost that was the victim of a sneak attack during the Cardassian war. Nearly one hundred civilians were killed in the incident, including the wife and children of Captain Benjamin Maxwell. The Starship Rutledge, commanded by Maxwell, arrived at Setlik III the morning after the attack and was only able to save a few civilians in an outlying area. Years later, the Cardassians admitted the raid was a mistake, that they had incorrectly believed the civilian outpost was a staging place for a massive Federation attack.

Human raised on a distant planet who was returned to Earth in 1968 to help humanity survive its nuclear age. He was also known as Supervisor 194. Gary Seven’s ancestors were taken from Earth approximately six thousand years ago and trained by the inhabitants of an unknown alien world. Seven was sent to Earth in 1968 on a mission to prevent Earth’s civilization from destroying itself in a dangerous nuclear-arms race. His assignment was to intercede in the scheduled launch of an American orbital nuclear-weapons platform, causing the launch vehicle to malfunction in such a way as to frighten planetary authorities into abandoning such weapons of mass destruction. While en route to Earth, Seven was accidentally intercepted by the Starship Enterprise and nearly prevented from accomplishing his task before Enterprise personnel determined that his intentions were not destructive. Seven remained on Earth in that time period, where he is believed to have performed other missions for the protection of humankind. (“Assignment Earth” [TOS]). SEE: Lincoln, Roberta. The producers of Star Trek hoped for Gary Seven to return in his own television series, Assignment: Earth, although this never materialized.

~1:[2,#B],22:[1,#B],35:[1,#B],42:[2,#BI],76:[1,#BI],81:[2,#I],107:[10,#I]@1Sevrin, Dr.@2(Skip Homeier). Would-be revolutionary who rejected the technological world to seek a more primitive existence on the mythical planet Eden. Sevrin had been a noted research engineer in acoustics and communication on Tiburon, before he became infected with deadly Synthococcus novae. This disease, the product of technological living, pushed Sevrin on his quest for a simpler life. It was on this quest that Sevrin and his followers in 2269 stole the star cruiser Aurora, and later commandeered the Starship Enterprise on a quest for Eden. Sevrin died from eating a poisonous plant on a planet he thought was Eden. (“The Way to Eden” [TOS]). Skip Homeier also played Melakon in “Patterns of Force” [TOS]).
