Stellar Cartography head Neela Daren offered Ensign Cabot such a transfer without getting prior approval from Executive Officer William Riker, a significant breach of operating protocol. (“Lessons” [TNG]).

Jean-Luc Picard and the future Mrs. Jenice Manheim once had planned to meet there in April 2342 so that they could say goodbye, ending their romantic relationship. Picard failed to keep the rendezvous, but years later, the two re-created the cafe on the Enterprise -D holodeck so that they could properly bid each other adieu. (“We'll Always Have Paris” [TNG]). The futuristic Paris skyline seen from the Cafe des Artistes was also used outside the Federation Council President's office in Star Trek VI. The menu at the cafe (handed out by waiter Edouard but never legible on television) included such delicacies as Croissants Dilithium, Klingon Targ ala Mode, and for dessert, L'antimatter Flambe!

The Calamarain had some kind of prior experience with Q, and though he denied doing anything “bizarre” or “grotesque” to them, they came seeking vengeance on Q when he sought refuge on the Enterprise -D after he became mortal in 2366. Commander Data was seriously injured while protecting Q from their attack. (“Deja Q” [TNG]).

Worf spent much of his off-duty time honing his combat skills with this program. (“Where Silence Has Lease” [TNG]). After one particularly strenuous session with this program, Worf and K'Ehleyr spent a night of passion together, resulting in the conception of their child, Alexander. (“The Emissary” [TNG]). Alexander even tried the program, once he was big enough to lift a bat'telh sword (“New Ground” [TNG]). One of the creatures in Worf's calisthenics program used the mask of the character Skeletor from the movie Masters of the Universe. Star Trek makeup designer Michael Westmore also did makeup work for that film. Star Trek stunt coordinator Dennis Madalone played the skull monster.

(Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country). SEE: Khitomer. The Camp Khitomer scenes in Star Trek VI were filmed at the Brandes Institute religious retreat in Simi Valley, California. The Brandes Institute was also used as the location for the Borg hall exteriors in “Descent, Parts I and II” (TNG).

Minister Campio was engaged to marry Ambassador Lwaxana Troi of planet Betazed in 2368. Their courtship was conducted entirely by subspace radio, and they had planned to meet aboard the Enterprise -D just prior to their wedding. Upon meeting the ambassador, Campio found Troi's disdain for protocol to be unacceptable. Campio abandoned the wedding when the ambassador arrived at the ceremony nude, as is required by Betazoid custom. (“Cost of Living” [TNG]). SEE: Erko.
~1: [2, #b], 66: [1, #i], 97: [2, #i], 101: [66, #i]@1Camus II@2Planet that was once home to a technologically advanced society. Dr. Janice Lester and Dr. Arthur Coleman were the only two survivors of a disastrous Federation archaeological expedition at Camus II in 2269. In one of the dig sites, Lester discovered an extraordinary life-energy transfer device that she used to exchange bodies with Captain James T. Kirk. SEE: celebium. (“Turnabout Intruder” [TOS]). The Enterprise -D was scheduled to conduct an archaeological survey mission to Camus II in 2367, but had to bypass the planet when it received a distress call from the Federation freighter U.S.S. Arcos. (“Legacy” [TNG]).
Captain Picard's reference to bypassing an archaeological survey of Camus II in the opening captain's log of “Legacy” was an “in-joke” devised by Rick Berman, Jonathan Frakes, and Eric Stillwell. It's a tip of the hat to “Turnabout Intruder” (TOS), the 79th and last episode of the original Star Trek series, which involved an archaeological mission to Camus II. “Legacy” (TNG) was the 80th episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The original Starship Enterprise was sent to planet Capella IV in 2267 to obtain a mining agreement with the Capellans. The agreement was secured, although a Klingon officer attempted to gain mining rights for the Klingon Empire. (“Friday's Child” [TOS]). Exterior planet scenes were filmed at the familiar Vasquez Rocks, located North of Los Angeles.

Relatively primitive by Federation technological standards, the Capellans had a strong tribal government and a strict set of warrior mores. They considered combat more interesting than love, and did not believe in medicine, feeling that the weak should die.
Their tribal government was led by a ruler called a teer, who headed the Ten Tribes of Capella. A significant power struggle in 2267 resulted in the death of High Teer Akaar at the hands of rival Maab, with the support of Klingon operatives who sought to influence the outcome of topaline negotiations with the Federation. Maab was himself later killed, and leadership of the Ten Tribes was assumed by Leonard James Akaar, infant son of the late Teer Akaar. While the child was growing, Leonard James's mother, Eleen, ruled the Ten Tribes as regent. (“Friday's Child” [TOS]).

Supervisor of a sophisticated amusement park planet in the Omicron Delta region when a landing party from the U.S.S. Enterprise visited in 2267. The planet had advanced hardware that could read the minds of visitors, then manufacture whatever it was they imagined. It was the Caretaker's responsibility to coordinate such activities and make sure things ran smoothly. When it was apparent his guests were not enjoying themselves, he appeared to the Enterprise personnel explaining that this was an amusement park where beings could visit and play. The Caretaker agreed that the more sophisticated the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play. (“Shore Leave” [TOS]). SEE: Finnegan; Police Special; Ruth; tiger; White Rabbit.

This camp, established several months after the Khitomer massacre in 2346, imprisoned nearly a hundred Klingon prisoners who had been captured, unconscious, from a perimeter outpost. Romulan officer Tokath sacrificed his military career in a humanitarian gesture to establish the Carraya camp where these prisoners could be incarcerated so that the Romulan government would not execute them. In the years that followed, a peaceful coexistence developed between the Romulan jailers and their captives, whose Klingon warrior ethic would not permit them to return to their homeworld after having been captured in battle. Commander Tokath even took a Klingon woman, Gi'ral, as his wife, and they had a daughter named Ba'el, and other Klingon captives had children as well. Worf discovered the camp in 2369 while investigating rumors that his father might not have been killed at Khitomer. Discovering the reports to be untrue, Worf escorted some of the Klingon children, by then having reached adulthood, back to the Klingon Empire. Worf and the children all agreed never to reveal the existence of the camp to the outside world. (“Birthright, Parts I and II” [TNG]). Worf's promise means that neither Starfleet nor the Klingon government is likely to have any record of the camp at Carraya. The exterior of the prison camp was designed by Richard James and James Magdaleno, from which a model was built that was the basis for a matte painting executed by Dan Curry.

The M-5 multitronic computer, when being tested aboard the Enterprise, chose Ensign Carstairs for landing party duty on stardate 4729 to planet Alpha Carinae II. M-5 picked Carstairs over Senior Geologist Rawlens because the ensign had surveyed geologically similar planets for a mining company while serving in the merchant marine.

The helm officer of the Enterprise -C. He was injured in 2344 in the battle with Romulans at Narendra III. During the battle, Castillo was transported along with his ship into the future, to the year 2366, when a torpedo explosion opened up a temporal rift. With the disappearance of the Enterprise -C from its “proper” time frame, history developed in a dramatically altered manner. In this altered future, Castillo served as liaison between the Enterprise -C and Enterprise -D, working closely with tactical officer Natasha Yar (alternate), with whom he became romantically involved. When it was learned that the Enterprise -C had to return to the past to restore the “proper” flow of history, Castillo volunteered to command the ship after the death of Captain Rachel Garrett. Castillo understood that returning to the past to repair history was a virtual suicide mission. (“Yesterday's Enterprise” [TNG]).

Kirk and Spock, traveling back in time, visited the Cetacean Institute to find two humpback whales in hopes of repopulating that species in Earth's 23rd century. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home). SEE: Taylor, Dr. Gillian. The Cetacean Institute scenes in Star Trek IV were filmed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which looks a lot like the Cetacean Institute except that it doesn't have a big whale tank (which was added with a bit of visual effects magic by ILM). The name had to be changed to the Cetacean Institute because it was necessary, for plot reasons, to move the location of the aquarium to Sausalito. The Cetacean Institute symbol, seen here, is actually the logo of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, even though the name was changed to protect the innocent.

Khan Noonien Singh and his followers, along with Enterprise historian Marla McGivers, were exiled to Ceti Alpha V following their attempt to commandeer the Enterprise in 2267. The world was described as a bit savage, somewhat inhospitable, but livable. (“Space Seed” [TOS]). Following the explosion of sister planet Ceti Alpha VI later that year, Ceti Alpha V became nearly uninhabitable. During the following years, twenty of Khan's followers, including Marla McGivers, were killed by deadly Ceti eels. Khan and his surviving followers escaped in 2285 when the planet was being surveyed by the U.S.S. Reliant as a possible test site for the Genesis Project. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan).
