In 2371, chroniton particles emitted by the Romulan cloaking device became lodged in the Starship Defiant’s ablative armor matrix. (“Past Tense, Part I” [DS9]). Ablative armor technology was a closely-held secret, and until 2372, even Starfleet Operations did not know that the Defiant was so equipped. (“Paradise Lost” [DS9]).
Addendum: Starship outer hull layer designed to vaporize under weapons fire, thereby dissipating energy and protecting the ship’s interior. In 2374, the experimental prototype Starship Prometheus was equipped with ablative armor. (“Message in a Bottle” [VGR]).
~1:[5,#B],30:[2,#B],40:[2,#B],62:[2,#B],69:[1,#B]@1accelerated critical neural pathway formation@2Medical procedure that uses genetic recoding to alter the brain of a humanoid patient. Although it was banned in the Federation, physicians on planet Adigeon Prime used the technique to enhance the brain of Julian Bashir when he was almost seven years old. The procedure is illegal under laws dating back to the end of the Eugenics Wars. (“Doctor Bashir, I Presume?” [DS9]).
Addendum: Illegal medical procedure intended to enhance the mental and physical abilities of a humanoid child. The Federation ban on DNA resequencing was based on the argument that if genetically enhanced people were allowed to compete freely, all parents would feel pressured to have their children enhanced so that they could keep up. (“Statistical Probabilities” [DS9]).

The Akagi served in Picard’s armada to blockade Romulan supply ships supplying the Duras family forces during the Klingon civil war in 2368. (“Redemption, Part II” [TNG]). The Akagi was named for the Japanese carrier that fought the American warship U.S.S. Hornet in the bitter Battle of Midway in World War II. Episode writer Ron Moore thought it fitting that in Star Trek’s future, the Akagi would be serving alongside the Hornet.
Addendum: Federation starship. In 2374, the Akagi was a part of the Ninth Fleet headquartered at starbase Deep Space 9. (“You Are Cordially Invited” [DS9]).

Thunderchild was a ship of the Akira class. (Star Trek: First Contact). The Akira -class starship was designed by Alex Jaegar at ILM. It was rendered as a computer-generated visual effect. Named for the animated fantasy film.
Addendum: Type of space vehicle used by the Federation Starfleet. Several Akira -class vessels fought in the combined Alpha Quadrant fleet that invaded Cardassia in late 2374, and three were destroyed by Cardassian orbital weapon platforms at the Chin’toka System. (“Tears of the Prophets” [DS9]).

In ancient times, psychoactive herbs were used to achieve a vision quest. Chakotay had an akoonah in his medicine bundle. (“The Cloud” [VGR]).
Addendum: Device used by some Native Americans to focus their thoughts during a vision quest experience. Chakotay allowed Neelix to use his akoonah in 2374 when guiding Neelix through a vision quest. (“Mortal Coil” [VGR]). Later, Chakotay used it to assist him in entering a lucid dreaming state when Voyager was threatened by a dream species. (“Waking Moments” [VGR]).
~1:[4,#B],95:[2,#B]@1Alamo, Battle of the@2Historic military engagement waged at a Franciscan mission building in San Antonio, Texas, on the North American continent on Earth in 1836. Two hundred Texan volunteers, fighting for Texan independence against the nation of Mexico, defended the Alamo against an overwhelmingly superior Mexican military force for 13 days, but were eventually killed. Miles O’Brien suggested that the Battle of the Alamo might make a good holosuite program, but Bashir disagreed (“Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night” [DS9]) although by early 2375, the two were indeed planning such a simulation SEE: Crockett, Davy. (“Afterimage” [DS9]).
~1:[1,#B],4:[1,#B],47:[2,#B],51:[1,#B],60:[1,#B],68:[2,#B]@1Alixia@2Sister to Neelix. Alixia often went exploring with her brother. The two visited the Caves of Touth, the equatorial dust shrouds and they even hunted arctic spiders together. Alixia died along with the rest of Neelix’s family around 2356 during the Talaxian war with the Haakonian Order. (“Rise” [VGR]).
Addendum: (Robin Stapler). Native of planet Talax. Sister to Neelix, Alixia died in the war with the Haakonian Order. Neelix missed Alixia very much, and he kept as a memento a necklace that had once belonged to her. (“Mortal Coil” [VGR]).
~1:[3,#B],14:[2,#B],17:[2,#B]@1All the Way@2Popular mid-20th-century Earth song made famous by such singers as Frank Sinatra and Vic Fontaine. “All the Way” was Jadzia Dax’s favorite song. After Jadzia’s death in late 2374, Worf repeatedly instructed the holographic re-creation of Fontaine to sing the song, Worf’s way of mourning his wife’s passing. (“Image in the Sand” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B],28:[1,#B],59:[2,#B],71:[1,#B]@1Alpha Centauri@2Star. One of the nearest stars to Earth’s Solar system, some 4.3 light-years from Sol. In Earth’s past, Kirk told United States Air Force officer Fellini that he was a little green man from Alpha Centauri and that it was a beautiful place to visit (“Tomorrow Is Yesterday” [TOS]). Alpha Centauri was home to noted scientist Zefram Cochrane, who invented warp drive in the 21st century (“Metamorphosis” [TOS]).
Addendum: Star. Alpha Centauri is located near Betazed, Vulcan, Andor, Earth, and Tellar. (“In the Pale Moonlight” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B],18:[4,#B],23:[1,#B],46:[3,#B],65:[2,#B],67:[17,#I],87:[2,#I],90:[7,#I],97:[1,#B],113:[4,#B],118:[1,#B],136:[1,#B]@1Alpha Quadrant@2One quarter of the entire Milky Way Galaxy. The region in which most of the United Federation of Planets, including Earth, is located. The galaxy is so huge that the majority of the Alpha Quadrant remains unexplored, even in the 24th century. Station Deep Space 9 is located in Alpha Quadrant. (“Captive Pursuit” [DS9]). The Klingon and Romulan empires are located in Beta Quadrant. The reason for splitting the Federation between Alpha and Beta Quadrants was to rationalize Kirk’s line in Star Trek II that the Enterprise was the only starship in the quadrant.
Addendum: One quarter of the entire Milky Way Galaxy; the region in which most of the United Federation of Planets, including Earth, is located. The civilizations of the Alpha Quadrant faced a grave threat during the bitter and costly Dominion war of the 2370s. Numerous Alpha and Beta Quadrant powers, including the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, and the Romulan Star Empire banded together to prevent an invasion by the Founders of the Dominion.
~1:[1,#B],9:[1,#B],25:[4,#I],39:[3,#B],51:[1,#I],198:[4,#B],210:[45,#I]@1Alpha-Hirogen@2(Tiny Ron; Tony Todd; Danny Goldring). In Hirogen society, Alpha-Hirogen refers to the leader of a pack of Hirogen hunters. One such alpha (played by Tiny Ron) commanded a Hirogen ship and was in charge of a Hirogen relay station. (“Message in a Bottle” [VGR]). This particular alpha captured Voyager crew members Tuvok and Seven of Nine, hoping to claim them as valuable prizes of the hunt. (“Hunters” [VGR]). Another alpha believed Hirogen culture, which had remained essentially unchanged for a millennium, to be in danger of stagnation. He feared that the ritual of the hunt had dominated his people so much that they were no longer growing or advancing. In 2374, he seized upon the discovery of Federation holodeck technology, proposing that his people could satisfy their need for the hunt through the use of holographic environments. He argued that this would allow his society to use its space travel resources for the technological and social advancement of the Hirogen people, instead of on increasingly unprofitable warfare. Although this alpha was killed during a simulated hunt, there were some indications that this radical idea might find acceptance among at least some of the Hirogen. SEE: French Resistance; optronic datacore. (“The Killing Game, Parts I and II.” [VGR]). Tiny Ron played the Alpha-Hirogen in “Message in a Bottle” and “Hunters,” Tony Todd was another alpha in “Prey” (VGR), and Danny Goldring was the alpha who hoped to use holodecks to create a new Hirogen society in “The Killing Game, Parts I and II.”
~1:[1,#B],7:[1,#B],47:[2,#B]@1Alpha@2Colloquial term used by the Jem’Hadar to refer to a Jem’Hadar soldier bred in the Alpha Quadrant during the Dominion war. The Alphas were created in 2374 to relieve a shortage of Jem’Hadar troops in that part of the galaxy after Starfleet forces blockaded the Bajoran wormhole. (“One Little Ship” [DS9]).

~1:[1,#B],4:[1,#B],27:[1,#I],44:[12,#I]@1Alzen@2(Rosemary Forsyth). Srivani scientist. Alzen, along with about 50 other researchers, was part of a Srivani science team that secretly came aboard the Federation starship Voyager in 2374 to conduct invasive and dangerous medical tests on the ship’s crew. (“Scientific Method” [VGR]). Character’s name is from the script and was not mentioned in dialog.
~1:[1,#B],6:[1,#B],55:[2,#I],57:[3,#B]@1Amanin@2Psychiatrist. Amanin, from planet Betazed, developed a method of retrieving unconscious memories from a humanoid mind, utilizing a combination of sensory isolation and focused breathing. Such recovered memories were, however, found to sometimes be the product of unrelated stimuli and could therefore be wildly inaccurate if not corroborated by other evidence. In 2374, Starship Voyager's Emergency Medical Hologram incorporated Ananim’s memory reconstruction methods into his psychiatric routines. (“Retrospect” [VGR]).
~1:[1,#B],17:[1,#B],41:[2,#B],65:[2,#B]@1Amaro@2(Jeffrey King). Starfleet security officer stationed at Deep Space 9. Amaro attended Starfleet Academy with Stolzoff, and the two were good friends. In 2373, Amaro was part of a salvage team sent from DS9 to the abandoned Cardassian station Empok Nor. Amaro was killed at Empok Nor by former Cardassian security operative Elim Garak when Garak suffered from the effects of a powerful psychotropic drug. (“Empok Nor” [DS9]).

Captain Amasov faced the Borg in battle at Wolf 359, and his ship was the only one to survive the encounter. After the horrific massacre, Amasov said, “It is my opinion that the Borg are as close to pure evil as any race we’ve ever discovered.” (“Scorpion, Part I” [VGR]). Probably a tip of the hat to science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov.
~1:[1,#B],12:[1,#B],46:[3,#I],54:[4,#I]@1Amonak@2One of the most sacred temples on the planet Vulcan. T’Pel traveled, along with her children, to the Temple of Amonak to ask the priests at the temple to say prayers for the return of her husband, Tuvok, from the Delta Quadrant. (“Hunters” [VGR]). Probably named for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine special-effects supervisor Gary Monak.
~1:[2,#BI],11:[2,#I]@1Amsterdam News@2Paper-based hard-copy periodical publication on 20th-century Earth. The Amsterdam News was a newspaper published in New York, serving that city’s African-American community. (“Far Beyond the Stars” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B]@1anaerobic metabolites@2Chemical compounds used in biomedical research. In 2373 Nog procured two liters of such metabolites suspended in hydrosaline solution from Dr. Bashir to be traded to Dr. Giger for a 1951 Willie Mays baseball card for Captain Benjamin Sisko. (“In the Cards” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B]@1Andros III@2Planet. Research scientist Dr. Bathkin was from Andros III. (“In the Cards” [DS9]).
~1:[1,#B],33:[2,#B],45:[1,#B],52:[1,#I],86:[1,#B],101:[2,#BI]@1anesthezine@2Sedative gas used by Starfleet for emergency crowd control and to subdue dangerous persons. Captain Picard ordered one of the ship’s cargo bays flooded with anesthezine in the hopes of subduing Roga Danar. (“The Hunted” [TNG]). Anesthezine was deemed unsuitable to subdue the Ux-Mal terrorists who attempted to commandeer the Enterprise -D on stardate 45571 because it would not have been effective against the android Data. (“Power Play” [TNG]). Anesthezine was also available for riot control aboard station Deep Space 9. (“The Siege” [DS9]).
Addendum: Fast-acting anesthetic aerosol. Anesthezine was among the emergency crowd-control measures available on board the Starship Prometheus. (“Message in a Bottle” [VGR]).
~1:[1,#B]@1anetrizine@2Pharmaceutical used to anesthetize cranial nerves. (“The Gift” [VGR]).
~1:[1,#B],8:[1,#B],14:[2,#B],73:[3,#I]@1Anij@2(Donna Murphy). Member of the peaceful Ba’ku community. Anij was drawn to Jean-Luc Picard when he visited her world in 2375, and the two quickly formed a deep personal bond, despite her strong distrust of offlanders. Like most of her people, Anij had the ability to live in the moment to such a degree that time for them would slow to a crawl. To accomplish this, she entered a meditative state (Star Trek: Insurrection).
~1:[1,#B],12:[2,#I],23:[2,#B],28:[2,#B]@1animazine@2Stimulant drug. Animazine was used in 2374 on board the Starship Voyager to prevent crew members from falling prey to the neurogenic field generated by the dream species, although, like any such medication, its effectiveness was limited. (“Waking Moments” [VGR]).

Krenim scientist who worked to develop a temporal weapon of mass destruction. In an alternate timeline, Annorax was one of the greatest mass murderers in the galaxy, rivaling even the Borg collective. In this alternate timeline, Annorax developed the Krenim temporal weapon ship and used it against the Rilnar, enemies of the Krenim. Unfortunately, Annorax had failed to adequately consider the complexities of temporal mechanics. The elimination of the Rilnar from history left his people susceptible to a deadly disease that left some 50 million Krenim dead, including his beloved wife. Annorax spent the next 200 years using his temporal weapon, trying to restore his people’s original timeline, but each use brought further unpredicted side effects. In the process, he destroyed thousands of worlds, eliminating billions of innocent lives, but he was never able to entirely restore his people. The alternate Annorax was himself eliminated when his ship was attacked by the Federation starship Voyager, causing a temporal incursion that removed the Krenim ship from the timeline. SEE: Obrist. (“Year of Hell, Parts I and II” [VGR]). Kurtwood Smith played the Federation President in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, as well as Thrax in “Things Past” (DS9). Annorax was apparently named for Professor Pierre Aronnax, a character in Jules Verne’s novel 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. (In “Year of Hell,” Tom Paris compared Annorax to Captain Nemo, another character from Verne’s novel.)
~1:[3,#B]@1anti-back flow valve@2One-way check valve in the plasma vents of a starship, intended to prevent foreign matter from entering the ship through the vents. (“One Little Ship” [DS9]).
~1:[1,#B],9:[1,#B]@1anticoagulant@2Chemical that prevents the clotting of blood. Jem’Hadar weapons are designed to leave anticoagulants in the wounds they cause so that even grazing hits can result in massive blood loss. (“Change of Heart” [DS9]).

Captain Kirk and Ensign Garrovick used an antigrav to carry an antimatter bomb on planet Tycho IV on stardate 3619. (“Obsession” [TOS]). Two antigravs were used to carry the deactivated Nomad to the transporter room just prior to that robot’s destruction. (“The Changeling” [TOS]). Antigravs were also used for handling of Ambassador Kollos’s protective container aboard the Enterprise. (“Is There in Truth No Beauty?” [TOS]). Antigravs were also built into small equipment pallets used for handling cargo. A graviton inverter circuit was a key component of an antigrav. (“Hollow Pursuits” [TNG]). Antigravs can become unreliable in the presence of high radiation levels. (“Disaster” [TNG]). When a worker on station Deep Space 9 injured his back in 2369, Dr. Julian Bashir advised him to use an antigrav to avoid further problems. (“The Passenger” [DS9]). Starfleet shuttlecraft were equipped with antigrav thrusters for emergency landings. (“Coda” [VGR]).
Addendum: Gravity repulsion device. Antigrav thrusters were used by some Federation starships during the terminal phase of landing on a planetary surface, as well as for takeoff. (“Demon” [VGR]).
~1:[1,#B],22:[2,#B],49:[11,#B],68:[1,#B],70:[2,#B]@1antigraviton@2Elemental particle that carries a charge and spin opposite to that of gravitons. Antigraviton particles are generated in a standard tractor beam. The presence of antigraviton particles in a transporter emitter coil would be indicative of a tractor beam’s use on that transporter beam. (“Attached” [TNG]). SEE: Kesprytt III; Kes; Lorin, Prytt Security Minister; Mauric, Ambassador; Prytt.
Addendum: Elementary particle, a quantum unit opposite to a graviton. The self-replicating mines used in the field blocking the Bajoran wormhole in 2374 were vulnerable to antigraviton beams that could isolate each, preventing them from duplicating. (“Behind the Lines” [DS9]).
~1:[1,#B]@1antipsychotic@2Psychotropic pharmaceutical used to reduce psychotic tendencies in sentient humanoid patients. (“One” [VGR]).
~1:[1,#B]@1antithoron@2Antimatter equivalent of radon-220. (“Hunters” [VGR]).
~1:[2,#B],33:[2,#B]@1Archer, Valerie@2(Kate Vernon). Starfleet officer. Commander Archer, whose parents were both starship officers, served at Starfleet Headquarters in 2375. A re-creation of Archer was part of a training facility created by Species 8472 in the Delta Quadrant in 2375 in preparation for an intelligence-gathering program against the Federation. The replica of Archer, who was actually an 8472 individual, befriended Chakotay, finding him attractive despite the enormous differences in their species. (“In the Flesh” [VGR]).
~1:[1,#B],32:[1,#B]@1Argala@2Planet in the Delta Quadrant. Argala, which had an arctic tundra climate, was the home to a technologically sophisticated civilization. An Argala ship or space station was once captured by Nyrian operatives, using their translocation technology. (“Displaced” [VGR]).
~1:[2,#B],15:[1,#I],31:[3,#B],48:[2,#B],52:[1,#B],67:[1,#B],100:[1,#I]@1Argolis Cluster@2Area of space made up of six solar systems. In 2368, the Enterprise -D was charting the cluster as a prelude to colonization when it encountered a downed Borg scout ship. (“I, Borg” [TNG]). The Argolis Cluster was the location of the ecologically devastated planet Tagra IV. (“True-Q” [TNG]).
Addendum: Stellar group. Argolis contained many protostars. The cluster was the hiding place of a Dominion sensor array that provided a critical tactical advantage over the Federation Starfleet during the devastating Dominion war in 2374. The massive Dominion array was destroyed on stardate 51145 by the Federation starship Defiant, commanded by Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax. (“Behind the Lines” [DS9]). The Argolis Cluster was located near Betazed and the Kalandra Sector. (“The Reckoning” [DS9]).
~1:[1,#B]@1arithrazine@2Powerful pharmaceutical used to treat theta radiation poisoning. Starfleet regulations stipulate that a physician must be present whenever arithrazine is administered. In her preparations for executing the Omega Directive on stardate 51781, Captain Janeway required 20 milligrams of arithrazine to inoculate against theta radiation. (“The Omega Directive” [VGR]).
~1:[2,#B],42:[1,#B]@1Armstrong Park@2Open public square with grass and trees located in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, on planet Earth. Named for 20th-century jazz great Louis Armstrong. The park, which was sometimes used for musical performances, was located not far from Sisko’s restaurant. (“Image in the Sand” [DS9]).
~1:[1,#B],12:[1,#I]@1Arritheans@2Delta Quadrant civilization. Around stardate 51186, the crew of the Voyager had trade dealings with the Arritheans. (“Revulsion” [VGR]).

Artim befriended Data in 2375 during Dougherty’s attempt to drive the Ba’ku people from their homeworld. (Star Trek: Insurrection).
~1:[1,#B],27:[1,#B],36:[1,#I],42:[2,#B],50:[1,#I],82:[1,#I],92:[2,#BI],104:[1,#I],117:[1,#I],132:[1,#I],158:[11,#I]@1Arturis@2(Ray Wise). Member of a Delta Quadrant species. Like many of his people, Arturis was a gifted linguist. When his people were assimilated by the Borg in 2374, Arturis reasoned that the Federation starship Voyager's aid to the Borg against Species 8472 was responsible. He believed that had Voyager not so allied themselves, the Borg would have been defeated by Species 8472, and his people would not have been assimilated. Seeking revenge, Arturis created an elaborate trap to convince the Voyager crew that Starfleet had sent an advanced starship, the U.S.S. Dauntless, to rescue them. In fact, there was no Federation starship Dauntless; the vessel was a fake onto which Arturis hoped to trap the Voyager crew so that they could be sent into Borg space to be assimilated. The Voyager crew discovered the deception in time to escape Arturis’s trap, but Arturis himself was assimilated when his ship entered Borg space. (“Hope and Fear” [VGR]). Ray Wise previously played Liko in “Who Watches the Watchers?” (TNG).
~1:[2,#B],14:[2,#I],22:[1,#B],28:[2,#I],47:[3,#B],52:[8,#I],61:[18,#I]@1Ashmore, Ensign@2(Christine Delgado). Starfleet officer assigned to the engineering staff of the Starship Voyager. (“Learning Curve” [VGR], “Favorite Son” [VGR]).
Addendum: Starfleet officer; member of the Starship Voyager crew. On stardate 51501.4, Ashmore received a letter from home via a Starfleet transmission sent through a Hirogen relay station. (“Hunters” [VGR]). There were obviously at least two Ashmores on Voyager: one, a woman seen in earlier episodes; and in later episodes (including “Retrospect” [VGR]), a male crew member.
~1:[2,#B],56:[1,#B]@1astral eddy@2Spatial phenomenon occurring at the interfold between space and subspace. Astral eddies can involve massive discharges of plasmatic energy with temperature gradients of up to nine million kelvins. Such phenomena can be very violent and destructive to space vehicles. An astral eddy, intruding into normal space, was responsible for the destruction of a Vostigye space station on stardate 50836. (“Real Life” [VGR]).
~1:[1,#B],13:[2,#B],17:[3,#B],24:[1,#I],73:[12,#I]@1Astrometrics@2Stellar cartographic laboratory aboard a Federation starship. Around stardate 51186, Ensign Harry Kim worked with Seven of Nine to design enhancements to Voyager’s Astrometrics Lab. (“Revulsion” [VGR]). The upgraded facility, now incorporating both Borg and Starfleet technology, was activated on stardate 51212. The Astrometrics Lab was utilized as a sophisticated navigational tool, calculating the starship’s position relative to the center of the galaxy. (“Year of Hell, Parts I and II” [VGR]). “Year of Hell” was the first episode to introduce the Astrometrics Lab.

~1:[3,#B],11:[2,#I]@1Atoa, Lieutenant Manuele@2(Sidney Liufau). Starfleet officer assigned to the Starship Sutherland. Lieutenant Atoa was a friend of Jadzia Dax, and he attended her prewedding party on station Deep Space 9 on stardate 51247. While at the party, Atoa performed a traditional Samoan fire knife dance. Atoa and Morn drank too much at the party and fell asleep on the floor, waking up and leaving late the next morning. (“You Are Cordially Invited” [DS9]).
