Ceti eels were mollusk-like creatures whose young incubated inside the brains of humanoid life-forms. These parasites caused the host considerable pain and left the host susceptible to external suggestion. Twenty of Khan's followers were killed by Ceti eels, and Khan used the creatures to gain the cooperation of Captain Terrell and Commander Chekov. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan).

The duty of the cha'DIch is to defend the one challenged, since the one challenged is denied the right of combat while accused. Worf chose his brother, Kurn, as cha'DIch when their late father, Mogh, was accused of treason. When Kurn was the target of attempted murder, Worf asked Captain Picard to serve as cha'DIch. (“Sins of the Father” [TNG]). The ritual knife given to Picard as cha'DIch can be seen on the desk in his quarters during “Suddenly Human” (TNG). Jono used the knife to stab Captain Picard.

The film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, released in 1986, bore the following dedication: “The cast and crew of Star Trek wish to dedicate this film to the men and women of the spaceship Challenger whose courageous spirit shall live to the 23rd century and beyond....” One of the shuttlepods carried aboard the Enterprise -D was named for Challenger astronaut Ellison Onizuka (“The Ensigns of Command” [TNG]).

Their race had no use for laws or governments; they existed by murdering those who threatened them. Esoqq was a Chalnoth. (“Allegiance” [TNG]).

High Council leaders in episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation have not used this title, instead being described as “council leader.”
~1:[2,#B],6:[2,#B],13:[2,#B]@1Chandra V@2 The planet where Tam Elbrun was assigned prior to the Tin Man encounter in 2366. Elbrun described the Chandrans as beautiful, peaceful nonhumanoid creatures, who had a three-day ritual for saying hello. (“Tin Man” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],9:[1,#B],12:[1,#B],21:[1,#B],59:[1,#B]@1Chandra@2(Clara Bryant). Little girl, part of the Wadi game of Chula. Chandra sang a song and played hopscotch on Wadi symbols built into the floor of the game's maze. A player in Chula could only move onto the third shap, or level, by imitating her apparently nonsensical children's song and hopscotch step. (“Move Along Home” [DS9]). SEE: allamaraine.

A proud warrior, Chang was also fond of quoting Shakespeare and other luminaries. Chang feared the changes that peace would bring and conspired with Starfleet admiral Cartwright and others to assassinate Gorkon in an effort to block Gorkon's peace initiative. Chang was killed at Khitomer when attempting to disrupt the peace conference there in 2293. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country). In addition to Chang's Shakespearean quotes, his demand in court that Kirk answer a question without waiting for a translation is a paraphrase of American ambassador Adlai Stevenson, who made the same demand of Soviet ambassador Valerian Zorin at the United Nations during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962.
~1:[3,#B],10:[2,#B],20:[2,#B],40:[13,#I]@1Chang, Tac Officer@2(Robert Ito). Officer in charge of Starfleet Academy entrance examinations at the Starfleet facility on planet Relva VII.

The Charybdis was the third manned attempt to travel beyond Earth's Solar System. The ship suffered a telemetry failure and its fate was unknown until 2365 when the remains of the Charybdis were discovered in orbit around a planet in the Theta 116 system. (“The Royale” [TNG]). In Greek mythology, Charybdis is one of two sea monsters who lived in a cave near the Straits of Messina. The other monster was Scylla, mentioned in “Samaritan Snare” (TNG).

Banding together and living in caves, members of this underground movement called themselves the Children of the Sun, preaching brotherhood, and rejecting the 20th-century imperial Roman culture that dominated the planet. After monitoring radio transmissions from the planet, Lieutenant Uhura noted that the reference to the sun referred not to the star which the planet orbited, but to the son of God.

A cholera epidemic in late-19th-century San Francisco was used as a cover for a group of time-travelers from Devidia II. The Devidians used the disease to conceal their murder of many humans so that they could steal their neural energy as food. (“Time's Arrow, Parts I and II” [TNG]).

Chorgan accepted Acamarian Sovereign Marouk's offer of amnesty in 2366, ending nearly a century of interstellar piracy by the Gatherers. During the negotiations, Yuta of the rival clan Tralesta attempted to assassinate Chorgan. He was saved by Commander Riker's actions and later agreed to a Gatherer truce.

Aircraft pilot, serial number 4857932, in the United States Air Force on Earth during the 1960s. Christopher was assigned to intercept an unidentified flying object detected above the Omaha Air Base in mid-July 1969. The UFO was the Starship Enterprise, which had been propelled back in time to that period. Christopher was beamed to the Enterprise when his aircraft was accidentally destroyed by a tractor beam. It was not realized until after he was aboard that his exposure to 23rd-century technology would be a possible source for historical contamination. The dilemma was made worse when it was learned that Christopher would father a child who would command the historically significant first Earth-Saturn probe. A means was later found to return Christopher to Earth without leaving any trace of the Enterprise's presence. (“Tomorrow Is Yesterday” [TOS]).
~1:[4,#B],10:[2,#B],15:[3,#B],32:[1,#I],78:[7,#I],87:[10,#I]@1Christopher, Colonel Shaun Geoffrey@2Commander of the first successful Earth-Saturn probe and son of Captain John Christopher. Shaun Christopher had not yet been conceived when his father was beamed aboard the Enterprise in 1969 when that ship was accidentally back in the 20th century. His unborn son was the primary reason John Christopher had to be returned to Earth; failure to do so would have caused significant changes to the course of history. (“Tomorrow Is Yesterday” [TOS]). Captain John Christopher's son was named after Star Trek writer John D.F. Black's three sons: Shaun, Geoffrey, and Christopher.
~1:[2,#B],15:[2,#B],23:[1,#I],32:[2,#B]@1Christopher, Dr.@2(John S. Ragin). Subspace theoretician and husband to Vulcan Science Academy director Dr. T'Pan. Christopher accompanied his wife aboard the Enterprise -D in 2369, to view the test of Dr. Reyga's metaphasic shield. (“Suspicions” [TNG]).

The Chrysalians were interested in gaining rights to the Barzan wormhole in 2366 and retained the services of professional negotiator Devinoni Ral for these talks. Ral was successful in winning rights to the wormhole for the Chrysalians, but shortly thereafter, the wormhole was found to be unstable and therefore commercially worthless. (“The Price” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],8:[1,#B],13:[2,#B],75:[1,#B],171:[1,#B],187:[1,#B]@1Chula@2Multilevel board game played by the Wadi, first introduced in the Alpha Quadrant at Quark's bar on Deep Space 9 in 2369, shortly after first contact with the Wadi. The game required live players to navigate an elaborate labyrinth of tests as the primary player moved onyx figurines representing those players around the game board. Sisko, Kira, Dax, and Dr. Bashir were chosen to run the maze, moving into dangerous scenarios through different shaps or levels under Quark's overall control. The second shap featured a powerful forcefield that could only be traversed by playing hopscotch with a little girl. The third shap had a deadly Wadi cocktail party where poisonous gas threatened to suffocate the players unless they discovered the beverages were an antidote. In shap four, Bashir was eliminated as a player by a bolt of energy. Shap five injured Dax's leg in a cavern with falling rocks, and shap six saw the three players falling into a deep crevasse. The fall brought them back to Quark's, where Falow revealed they were never in any danger and that it was all a game. SEE: Chandra. (“Move Along Home” [DS9]).

Outlaw from Earth's ancient American west who fought on the side of the Clantons at the historic gunfight at OK Corral in 1881. Pavel Chekov portrayed Billy Claiborne in a bizarre charade created by the Melkotians in 2268. In actual history, Billy Claiborne survived the fight, but Chekov as Claiborne was killed by Morgan Earp in the Melkotian re-creation, proving that history need not repeat itself.

Although barely large enough to hold a person, a class-8 probe was modified to carry a single passenger when Special Federation Envoy K'Ehleyr was launched in the coffinlike missile for emergency transport to the Enterprise -D in 2365. (“The Emissary” [TNG]).
