It was not generally realized that the Void was home to a sentient species of night beings who were being poisoned by theta radiation from the six billion isotons of toxic antimatter being dumped there every day. The practice ceased in 2374, when the Federation starship Voyager sealed the vortex, forcing the Malons to seek alternative energy technologies for their society. (“Night” [VGR]).

The Maquis grew in response to Cardassian hostilities toward these colonies and to the perception that they had been abandoned by the Federation government. Members of the Maquis had often been victims of violence directed toward them by the Cardassian military. They felt the intention was to force them from their homes, and many chose to fight rather than leave. The Maquis was organized in a series of cells, with only the leaders of each cell knowing the whereabouts of the other cells. A number of Starfleet officers were sympathetic to the Maquis situation and either provided them with weapons, or left Starfleet to join their ranks. (“Preemptive Strike” [TNG]). In 2370, a group of Maquis led by Calvin Hudson defended colonies in the Demilitarized Zone that were no longer under Federation protection. Hudson’s group destroyed the Cardassian freighter Bok’Nor, resulting in several skirmishes along the border. (“The Maquis, Parts I and II” [DS9]). In 2371 Thomas Riker hijacked the Defiant from Deep Space 9 for a Maquis mission to investigate a suspected Cardassian military buildup in the Orias system. (“Defiant” [DS9]). Also during that year, a Maquis ship commanded by Chakotay was lost in the Badlands. (“Caretaker” [VGR]). By 2372, members of the Maquis were no longer considered to be citizens of the Federation. (“For the Cause” [DS9]). The name Maquis was used by members of the French underground in World War II.
Addendum: Terrorist organization of outlaw Starfleet officers and Federation colonists opposed to Cardassian occupation of former Federation territory ceded to the Cardassians. In 2373, the Maquis were almost completely wiped out by the Cardassian forces allied with the Dominion. The Maquis defeat came despite military aid from the Klingon government, which included some 30 class-4 cloaking devices. Only a few Maquis groups survived the Cardassian and Dominion attacks, including a handful of survivors of Michael Eddington's team who were rescued from Athos IV (“Blaze of Glory” [DS9]), as well as members of Chakotay's ship who joined the crew of the Starship Voyager in the Delta Quadrant. (“Hunters” [VGR]).
~1:[2,#B],72:[22,#I]@1Marauder Mo™@2A fictional adventure character popular with Ferengi male children in the mid-to-late 24th century. Toy figurines based on the character were also popular with Ferengi children during that period. As a child, Quark acquired several Marauder Mo figures that he kept into his adulthood. They appreciated in value as time passed, but would have been worth more had they been kept in their original packaging. (“Ferengi Love Songs” [DS9]). As with any business investment, there is always some risk involved; not all Marauder Mo figures increase in value, some go down.

Marcus directed the ambitious Project Genesis, which attempted to develop a process to rapidly terraform uninhabitable planets into worlds suitable for humanoid life. Marcus was romantically involved with future Enterprise Captain James T. Kirk in the early 2260s. Their son, David Marcus, became a noted scientist in his own right, although, at Carol’s request, Kirk was not involved in the boy’s upbringing. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan).
Addendum: Noted 23rd-century scientist who led the development of the Genesis Device. In 2374, Starfleet captain Kathryn Janeway, wrestling with the discovery of the incredibly destructive Omega molecule, said she understood how Marcus must have felt when the Genesis Device proved to be a powerful weapon.

In the early 24th century, the government sought to eliminate violence by outlawing hostile thought, since in a telepathic society, such thought could lead directly to violent acts. By 2374, the incidence of reported violent crime had dropped to nearly zero, in large part due to laws subjecting those with violent thoughts to engramatic purges and neurogenic restructuring to erase violent impulses from their brains. These laws had the unintended side effect of creating a thriving black market in illicit violent mental images. SEE: Guill; Nimira; Talli. (“Random Thoughts” [VGR]).

G. Hertzler). Klingon warrior who commanded the empire’s defense forces in 2372. When the Klingon High Council suspected that the Cardassian government’s Detapa Council was being controlled by Dominion agents early in that year, Martok led the massive invasion on Cardassia from his flagship, Negh’Var. Martok’s mission of eliminating the Detapa Council was thwarted when Starfleet officer Ben Sisko rescued the council, and Martok subsequently turned his attack onto station Deep Space 9. When Gowron decided to end the battle and return home, Martok argued that victory was close at hand, even though continuation of the fight would have greatly weakened the empire. (“The Way of the Warrior” [DS9]). It was not realized that sometime before 2373, Martok was captured by agents of the Dominion while he was hunting sabre bear on Kang’s Summit. (“In Purgatory’s Shadow” [DS9]). He was replaced by a shape-shifting Founder, so no one suspected the substitution. During an induction ceremony for the Order of the Bat’leth in early 2373, Captain Benjamin Sisko and his men exposed the duplicate Martok as a Founder spy. The spy was killed by the assembled Klingon warriors at Ty’Gokor. (“Apocalypse Rising” [DS9]). The real Martok was held until 2373 by the Jem’Hadar at Dominion internment camp 371 in the Gamma Quadrant. (“In Purgatory’s Shadow” [DS9]). Following his escape from Dominion imprisonment, Martok was assigned to command a detachment of Klingon warriors stationed at Deep Space 9. (“By Inferno’s Light” [DS9]).
Addendum: (J. G. Hertzler). Klingon leader. In 2373, Martok assumed command of the Bird-of-Prey Rotarran in order to conduct a search for the missing battle cruiser I.K.S. B’Moth. During the mission, spacecraft first officer Worf was instrumental in defeating a Jem’Hadar ship and rescuing 35 warriors from the B’Moth's crew. So impressed was Martok with Worf’s actions that he made the son of Mogh a member of the House of Martok. (“Soldiers of the Empire” [DS9]). Martok even appointed Worf as first officer on a dangerous mission to Monac IV in early 2375 so that Worf could earn entry into Sto-Vo-Kor for his late wife, Jadzia. (“Image in the Sand” [DS9]). Martok enjoyed gambling. He was a shrewd judge of character and cared deeply about those under his command. In 2374, General Martok accepted Worf’s son, Alexander Rozhenko, into the House of Martok, having already granted that honor to Worf himself. (“Sons and Daughters” [DS9]). Martok was married to Sirella, who then carried the title of Mistress of the House of Martok. Martok and Sirella had a number of children. On stardate 51247.5 Martok was promoted to supreme commander of the Ninth Fleet, stationed at Deep Space 9 to defend the strategically critical Bajor Sector against Dominion and Cardassian aggression. (“You Are Cordially Invited” [DS9]). Martok commanded the Klingon wing of the allied Alpha Quadrant fleet that successfully captured the Chin’toka System from Dominion control in 2374. (“Tears of the Prophets” [DS9]). Martok’s battlefield acumen was critical in several victories by the Alpha Quadrant powers. Unfortunately, the resulting accolades caused Chancellor Gowron to fear that Martok might soon become a political rival for leadership of the high council. Gowron seized direct command of the Klingon military and ordered Martok to undertake a series of foolhardy combat engagements, resulting in terrible losses among Klingon forces. Martok was blamed for these costly defeats, but refused to question Gowron, even though he knew that Gowron had intended the missions to undermine Martok’s image. After Gowron was killed by challenger Worf, Martok assumed the chancellorship when Worf declined to accept leadership of the council. (“Tacking into the Wind” [DS9]).John Hertzler also appeared as the Vulcan captain of the U.S.S. Saratoga in “Emissary, Parts I and II” (DS9).

The reaction chamber is the vessel within which matter and antimatter are allowed to intermix in a controlled fashion, resulting in the massive release of energy necessary to power the faster-than-light warp drive. The matter/antimatter reaction is regulated by a dilithium crystal, and the entire volume is contained by a magnetic containment field to prevent the volatile antimatter from coming into physical contact with the ship’s structure. SEE: antimatter containment. The Starship Voyager’s warp core was ejected on stardate 48734 by a disembodied Commander Chakotay, working to prevent the ship’s entry into a nebula inhabited by the Komar. The core was subsequently recovered and reinstalled. (“Cathexis” [VGR]). Voyager’s warp core was designed to operate for up to three years without refueling. The reaction chamber was equipped with a compositor that allowed dilithium to be recrystallized. (“Innocence” [VGR]).
Addendum: Key component of a starship’s warp drive, also known as a warp core. The warp core of the Starship Voyager became flooded with tachyons during an experimental attempt to create a transwarp conduit in early 2374. The emergency necessitated that the core be jettisoned, although it was later retrieved, repaired, and reinstalled. (“Day of Honor” [VGR]). The Enterprise -E ejected its warp core near the Ba’ku planet in 2375 when Son’a forces used isolytic weapons. (Star Trek: Insurrection).
