Ba'el was raised at the Romulan prison camp in the Carraya System, and thus had an unusual sense of tolerance toward both cultures. Although the existence of the camp remains a secret from the Klingon Homeworld, Ba'el did once meet a Klingon from the outside when Worf discovered the camp in 2369. The two became romantically involved, but Ba'el felt she could not leave Carraya because of the racial intolerance she would experience in either the Romulan or Klingon empires.

Teaming up with farmer Mullibok, they lived peacefully until an energy-transfer project in 2369 forced the evacuation of Jeraddo. (“Progress” [DS9]).

The Bandi, desiring to become a member of the Federation, offered Starfleet the use of a newly constructed starbase called Farpoint Station. It was later learned that Farpoint station had not been built by the Bandi, but was in fact a shape-shifting spaceborne life-form. The life-form had been captured by the Bandi and coerced into assuming the form of the station. Investigation by Enterprise -D personnel uncovered the coercion, and the life-form was allowed to return to space. (“Encounter at Farpoint, Parts I and II” [TNG]).

Fearing for his safety, Barash's mother hid him in a cavern on Alpha Onias III. The cavern was equipped for his survival, and included specialized neural scanners that were able to transform matter into any form imagined, so that he could live his life in safety. In 2367, Barash used this equipment to lure Commander William Riker into a fantasy world in which Barash hoped Riker would remain as a playmate. In this virtual reality, some 16 years had passed, during which Riker had been promoted to captain of the Enterprise -D, Picard had become an admiral, and there was some rapprochement with the Romulans. Also in this fantasy, Riker had married Minuet, and they had a 10-year-old son named Jean-Luc Riker. This “son” was actually Barash, who hoped Riker would play with him in this artificial environment. Riker eventually saw through the pretense, and Barash revealed the true nature of the cavern and his true form as well. Unwilling to leave the child behind alone, Riker returned with him to the Enterprise -D. (“Future Imperfect” [TNG]).

At a Ferengi trade conference held on Deep Space 9, Zek, the Grand Nagus, recounted how Quark and his cousin sold defective warp drives to the Tarahong government. Zek praised Quark for betraying Barbo to the authorities and leaving him at the Tarahong detention center while Quark kept all the profits, an honorable act in the Ferengi system of values. (“The Nagus” [DS9]).

Starfleet systems diagnostic engineer who transferred to the U.S.S. Enterprise -D from the U.S.S. Zhukov in 2366. Lieutenant Barclay was an extremely talented engineer, but was timid and awkward in social situations. Noted as having reclusive tendencies, Barclay compensated for his shyness by devising a rich fantasy life inside the Enterprise -D holodeck. In these fantasies, Barclay would re-create images of those crewmates in bizarre settings that he controlled. Engineer Geordi La Forge helped Barclay overcome the need for such escapes by encouraging Barclay's sense of self-worth. ( “Hollow Pursuits” [TNG]). In 2367, Barclay was exposed to a broad-spectrum emission from a Cytherian probe. The signal from the probe caused a dramatic increase in Barclay's neurochemical activity, increasing his I.Q. to at least 1200. With this newly-enhanced intelligence, Barclay designed and built an innovative new computer interface system as well as an incredibly fast new warp drive. It was learned that the Cytherians were reluctant to explore space themselves, so they resorted to this technique to give others the ability to reach them. Although the Enterprise -D contact with the Cytherians yielded valuable cultural and scientific exchanges, Barclay's enhanced intelligence faded, and with it the advanced warp drive technology was also lost. (“The Nth Degree” [TNG]). Barclay had a strong phobia of traveling by transporter. He described his “mortal terror” of being dematerialized. Barclay concealed this fear to avoid jeopardizing his Starfleet career, but he spent many hours traveling aboard shuttlecraft in order to avoid being beamed. He ultimately faced his greatest fears during a rescue mission to the U.S.S. Yosemite in 2369, when Barclay was threatened by quasi-energy microbes actually living in the transporter beam. (“Realm of Fear” [TNG]). Barclay helped Worf's son, Alexander Rozhenko, create a holodeck program called Ancient West just prior to stardate 46271. (“A Fistful of Datas” [TNG]). Barclay was part of the engineering team that attempted to solve the problem of how to give the computer-generated intelligence, Professor James Moriarty, physical reality when Moriarty held the ship hostage in 2369. (“Ship in a Bottle” [TNG]). Fond of investigating the Starfleet Medical Database, Barclay was often convinced he had contracted some rare and fatal disease. In 2370, he visited Sickbay, convinced that he was the victim of Terellian Death Syndrome. Dr. Crusher assured him that he was only suffering from a mild case of the Urodelean Flu, and prescribed a synthetic T-cell to allow his body to fight the infection naturally. Unfortunately, the T-cell caused some of Barclay's introns to mutate. These mutated introns, once airborne, affected the entire crew, causing them to revert to earlier evolutionary forms. Once the cause and cure of the disease was found, Dr. Crusher named the syndrome after its first case. SEE: Barclay's Proto-morphosis Syndrome. Barclay was one of the few persons aboard the Enterprise -D, besides Data that Spot seemed to like. (“Genesis” [TNG]).

First discovered around 2064 by the exploratory vessel S.S. Valiant, the barrier was later crossed by the Starship Enterprise in 2265. Certain members of both ships' crews became endowed with dramatically amplified ESP and psychokinetic powers, and in both cases these mutated crew members became a threat to their ships. (“Where No Man Has Gone Before” [TOS]). The Enterprise crossed the barrier a second time in 2268, when the ship was hijacked by Kelvans attempting to return to their home in the Andromeda Galaxy. The barrier had also been responsible for the earlier destruction of their ship when they entered our galaxy. (“By Any Other Name” [TOS]).

In 2366, the Barzan government sold rights to the wormhole to the Chrysalians. Later investigation by an Enterprise -D shuttle and a Ferengi pod indicated that the wormhole was only partially stable, and that both ends would eventually shift location. The Ferengi ship was lost in the Delta Quadrant after just such a location shift. (“The Price” [TNG]). SEE: quantum fluctuations. Not to be confused with the Bajoran wormhole.

Premier Bhavani of the planet Barzan visited the Enterprise -D in 2366 for a trade conference in which the Barzans hoped to benefit themselves by selling rights to a wormhole discovered in their solar system. Rights to use the Barzan wormhole, believed to be a stable passageway to the Delta Quadrant of the galaxy, were the topic of a conference held aboard the Enterprise -D in 2366. Being politically neutral, the Barzans were concerned that favoring any one delegation might involve them in disputes with other parties. The question was later made moot when the wormhole was found to be unstable. (“The Price” [TNG]).

The probe encountered the Starship Enterprise -D in 2368, transferring its memories, including the memory of Batai, to Jean-Luc Picard. (“The Inner Light” [TNG]).
