~1:[2,#B],15:[1,#I],23:[2,#BI]@1Taranko colony@2Federation settlement. In 2370, the Taranko colony required medical supplies urgently. The Enterprise -D picked up the supplies from the U.S.S. Lexington and then transported them to Taranko. (“Thine Own Self” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],10:[2,#B],30:[2,#B],68:[1,#B]@1Tarbolde, Phineas@2Poet on the Canopus Planet who wrote “Nightingale Woman” in 1996, considered to be one of the most passionate love sonnets written in the past few centuries. Gary Mitchell was able to quote the sonnet after exposure to the barrier at the edge of the galaxy. (“Where No Man Has Gone Before” [TOS]). Tarbolde’s creativity was, in part, inspired by a noncorporeal entity known as Onaya, who was also responsible for the brevity of his life. (“The Muse” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B],73:[2,#BI],137:[1,#I],141:[3,#B],145:[2,#B],151:[1,#I],172:[28,#I]@1Tarchannen III@2Class-M planet. Site of a Federation outpost. Tarchannen III was home to an unusual life-form that reproduced by planting a strand of DNA into a host body. The DNA strand would eventually take over the host body, causing it to metamorphose into a nonsentient reptilian humanoid. It is believed that all 49 members of the Tarchannen outpost suffered this fate in 2362 when contact was lost with the outpost. The U.S.S. Victory, dispatched to investigate the outpost, sent an away team to the planet. Five years later, all five members of the away team were irresistibly compelled to return to the planet, apparently part of the metamorphosis process. Three members of the away team completed the metamorphosis and were irretrievably lost. The process was identified by Dr. Beverly Crusher in time to save former Victory away team members Geordi La Forge and Susanna Leijten from the same fate. Enterprise -D Captain Picard ordered warning beacons placed around Tarchannen III so the planet would not be revisited. (“Identity Crisis” [TNG]). The transformed versions of the Tarchannen III creatures were played by popular Los Angeles area radio personalities Mark and Brian, who called themselves the Lizard Creatures from Hell.
~1:[1,#BI],2:[1,#B],7:[1,#B],13:[1,#I]@1Tarchee cat@2Animal indigenous to the Nechani homeworld in the Delta Quadrant. Tarchee cats were known to be high strung and fussy. (“Sacred Ground” [VGR]).

~1:[1,#B],73:[1,#B]@1Tarella@2Class-M planet that once supported humanoid life-forms. Years ago, a deadly biological weapon was created during a war between the inhabitants of two land masses. The resulting disease wiped out the planet’s population. A few Tarellians escaped to other worlds, infecting those planets as well. The remaining Tarellians were hunted as plague carriers, and many were killed by people fearful of contamination. The last eight survivors of Tarella headed toward planet Haven in 2364. (“Haven” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],6:[1,#B]@1Tarellians@2Humanoid culture from planet Tarella that was nearly wiped out by a deadly biological weapon during the Tarellian wars. (“Haven” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],11:[1,#B],19:[1,#B]@1Taresia@2Class-M planet in the Delta Quadrant, homeworld of the Taresians. The planet was protected by a defensive tachyon grid projected by a series of satellites. (“Favorite Son” [VGR]).
~1:[1,#B]@1Taresians@2Technologically sophisticated, spacefaring, humanoid civilization in the Delta Quadrant. The Taresian population was ninety percent female because male children were very rare. To assure an adequate childbirth rate, the Taresians genetically engineered a retrovirus that they placed on several planets in the Delta Quadrant. The retrovirus was designed to alter the DNA of a male host’s body, mutating it into a Taresian being. The retrovirus also imparted an instinctive urge to return to Taresia so that their bodies could be denucleated. (“Favorite Son” [VGR]).
~1:[1,#BI],2:[1,#B],12:[1,#I],17:[1,#I]@1targ scoop@2Device used on the front of Klingon ground-assault vehicles. Targ scoops prevented collisions with targ herds by emitting a high-frequency tone which dispersed the animals away from the vehicle’s path. (“Elogium” [VGR]).

Worf had a targ as a pet when he was young, and an illusory targ once appeared on the Enterprise -D bridge. (“Where No One Has Gone Before” [TNG]). The targ is regarded as a vicious and destructive animal. (“Crossfire” [DS9]). SEE: heart of targ. Targs are sometimes spotted. (“Favorite Son” [VGR]). We wonder if either Commander Kruge’s pet (in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) or the jackal-like pet of the Klingon warden at the Rura Penthe prison (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) were also targs. The targ was actually a tame wild boar named Marilou who wore spikes for filming. While Marilou was not vicious or destructive, she exuded a powerful, pungent odor that clung, for weeks, to anyone unfortunate to have touched her, a fact to which Bob Justman can attest. Marilou also left a distinctive spot on the Enterprise -D bridge that remained on the set for the remainder of the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Molly O’Brien had a stuffed targ toy in her quarters on Deep Space 9.
~1:[2,#B],20:[1,#B],23:[1,#I]@1targeting scanner@2Sensor visual display device used for tactical applications. The targeting scanner at the helm station on the bridge of a Constitution -class starship was normally stowed in the console, automatically deploying when needed.

The Taris Murn had a crew of two, who, despite the loss of all electromagnetic power into the null space, remained alive long enough to be rescued by a shuttlecraft from the Enterprise -D. (“The Outcast” [TNG]). The miniature of the Taris Murn, seen only briefly, was a re-use of the Nenebek model originally built for “Final Mission” (TNG). SEE: Toron -class shuttlecraft.

(“Nor the Battle to the Strong” [DS9]).

Males and females of the Tarkannan race use different styles of movement. Chakotay’s gesture for “hello” was misinterpreted by the Tarkannans as a proposition to their ambassador. (“Innocence” [VGR]).
~1:[2,#B],12:[1,#B],15:[1,#B]@1Tarkassian razorbeast@2Animal that has a propensity for leaping about. Young Guinan tempted young Ro to start jumping on the bed like a Tarkassian razorbeast. (“Rascals” [TNG]). When Guinan was a child, a Tarkassian razorbeast was her imaginary friend; the creature protected her and made her feel safe. She described it as huge, covered with brown fur, and having enormous spiny wings. Guinan fondly recalled that it was very frightening, especially when it smiled. As Guinan grew older, the razorbeast faded away, leaving behind only the idea, but Guinan still talked to it occasionally. (“Imaginary Friend” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],8:[1,#B],53:[3,#B],61:[2,#I],72:[1,#B]@1Tarmin@2(David Sage). The head of an Ullian delegation of telepathic researchers. Tarmin was a researcher who described himself as an “archaeologist of the mind.” He worked for years to compile a database of memories that would serve as a library for cultural research. Tarmin was briefly implicated in three cases of telepathic memory invasion rape that occurred on the Starship Enterprise -D in 2368. He was cleared when his son, Jev, was found to be guilty of the telepathic rapes. (“Violations” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],6:[3,#B],15:[1,#B]@1Tarod IX@2Planet near the Romulan Neutral Zone. Tarod IX was attacked by the Borg in 2364, although Romulan activity was initially suspected. (“The Neutral Zone” [TNG]).

Of course, the reason Tarsas III was so Earthlike was that the Starbase 74 exterior visual effects shots were re-uses of the Spacedock scenes originally created for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
~1:[3,#B],10:[2,#B],24:[1,#I],39:[1,#I]@1Tarses, Crewman Simon@2(Spencer Garrett). A native of the Martian Colonies, Crewman First Class Tarses was assigned as a medical technician aboard the Enterprise -D in 2366. Tarses was accused as a conspirator in the Romulan theft of Enterprise -D technical data in 2367. While Tarses was not guilty of the theft, he had lied on his Starfleet entrance papers, concealing the fact that his paternal grandfather was Romulan. When this fact was brought out during the conspiracy hearings, Tarses feared his career in Starfleet was over. (“The Drumhead” [TNG]).

Colony governor Kodos declared martial law, and ordered half of the population, some four thousand colonists, put to death in order to insure the survival of the remainder. Although relief arrived, it was too late to prevent the executions. Kodos was believed dead following discovery of a burned body, but it was later learned that Kodos had escaped, living under the name Anton Karidian. Only nine eyewitnesses to the killings survived, among them James Kirk, Kevin Riley, and Thomas Leighton. (“The Conscience of the King” [TOS]).
