~1:[2,#B],16:[1,#B],41:[2,#B]@1Dabo girl@2Beautiful women of various species who were employed as Dabo game operators by Quark at his bar on Deep Space 9. Quark correctly believed that the scantily clad Dabo girls significantly enhanced his revenues. (“Captive Pursuit” [DS9]). SEE: Sarda, Miss.
~1:[1,#B],12:[2,#B],16:[1,#B],19:[3,#B]@1Dabo@2Game of chance played on a roulette-like wheel located in Quark's bar on the Promenade of station Deep Space 9. (“Emissary” [DS9]).
~1:[1,#B]@1Dachlyds@2A race involved in a trade dispute with their nearest neighbors, the Gemarians. Captain Jean-Luc Picard helped mediate the dispute in 2366 to help both parties arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. (“Captain's Holiday” [TNG]).

These ships were among the first to demonstrate the primary/secondary hull and warp nacelle designs that would become characteristic of Starfleet vessels. The U.S.S. Essex, destroyed in 2167 at Mab-Bu VI, was a Daedalus -class starship. The Daedalus class was retired from service in 2196. (“Power Play” [TNG]). We speculate that the U.S.S. Horizon (“A Piece of the Action” [TOS]) and the U.S.S. Archon (“Return of the Archons” [TOS]) were also of the Daedalus class. A conjectural design for this class, based on an early Enterprise design by Matt Jefferies and built by Greg Jein is pictured here. This model has been seen as a desktop display in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
~1:[1,#BI]@1DaH!@2Klingon for “Now!” (“Redemption, Part II” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],8:[2,#BI],14:[1,#I],24:[2,#B],28:[4,#B],37:[1,#I]@1Daily, Jon@2Captain of the passenger vessel Astral Queen. At the request of Enterprise captain James Kirk, Daily bypassed a scheduled stop at Planet Q, forcing the Karidian Company of Players to request passage aboard the Enterprise. (“The Conscience of the King” [TOS]).
~1:[1,#B],5:[1,#B]@1DaiMon@2Title given to Ferengi leaders, approximately equivalent in rank to a Starfleet captain. (“The Last Outpost” [TNG]).

~1:[1,#B],23:[1,#B],62:[1,#B],65:[2,#B]@1Dal'Rok@2Cloudlike energy creature that threatened a Bajoran village for five nights every year. The village was saved each time by the Sirah, who would tell heroic tales of the village people, repelling the evil entity. In actual fact, the Dal'Rok was an illusion created from the fears of the villagers by the Sirah, who used a small fragment of an Orb from the Celestial Temple to create a common enemy that would unite the people of the village. (“The Storyteller” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B],55:[1,#B],63:[2,#B]@1Daled IV@2Planet that revolves only once every planetary year, so that one hemisphere is always in light, while the other is in eternal night. For centuries Daled IV had been torn by civil war between inhabitants of the two hemispheres. In the late 2340s two parents from opposite sides conceived a child named Salia, and sent her to the nearby planet Klavdia III to be raised in a neutral environment. Salia returned to Daled IV at age 16 in the hopes of uniting the factions and bringing peace to her world. Daled IV was not a member of the Federation. (“The Dauphin” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],5:[1,#I],18:[2,#B],24:[2,#B],40:[1,#B]@1D'Amato, Lieutenant@2(Arthur Batanides). Enterprise senior geologist killed in 2268 on a landing party to the mysterious Kalandan outpost. D'Amato was killed by cellular disruption caused by a mechanism devised to protect the planetoid. (“That Which Survives” [TOS]). SEE: Losira.

~1:[2,#B],9:[2,#B],21:[2,#B]@1Danar, Roga@2(Jeff McCarthy). A male native of Angosia III, Danar volunteered for duty as a soldier in his planet's Tarsian War. His government put Danar through extensive psychological manipulation and biochemical modifications, making him extremely aggressive in combat, and programming him to be the perfect warrior. He served in many campaigns during that conflict, and received two promotions to the rank of Subhadar. In 2366, Danar became a leader of a veterans' uprising that forced the Angosian government to reconsider the plight of their ex-soldiers. (“The Hunted” [TNG]).
~1:[3,#B],25:[1,#I]@1Dancing Doctor, The@2A nickname that Dr. Beverly Crusher acquired after having won a dance competition at a Saint Louis dance academy. Aboard the Enterprise -D, she did her best to hide her talent in dance to avoid the moniker. (“Data's Day” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],9:[2,#BI],34:[1,#I],37:[1,#B]@1Dano, Kal@2A 27th-century scientist who invented the Tox Uthat, a device with enormous weapons potential. Fearful that the device would be stolen, Dano fled to the 22nd century, where he hid the Uthat on planet Risa. (“Captain's Holiday” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],7:[3,#B],14:[2,#B]@1Danula II@2The site of a Starfleet Academy marathon in 2323. Freshman cadet Jean-Luc Picard managed to overtake two upperclassmen on the final hill of that 40-kilometer run to become the only freshman to ever win the Starfleet Academy marathon. (“The Best of Both Worlds, Part II” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],9:[2,#B],14:[2,#B],55:[1,#B],61:[3,#B],64:[6,#I]@1Dar, Caithlin@2(Cynthia Gouw). Romulan representative to the Paradise City settlement on planet Nimbus III, assigned in 2287. An idealistic young woman, Dar believed the colony might still serve as a catalyst for galactic peace, despite the failure of the project for the past two decades. Under the mental influence of Sybok, Dar joined Sybok's quest for the mythical planet Sha Ka Ree. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier).
~1:[1,#B],9:[1,#B],22:[1,#I],37:[1,#B],42:[8,#I]@1Dara@2(Michelle Forbes). Daughter to noted Kaelon scientist Timicin, and the mother of his only grandson. Dara visited Timicin aboard the Enterprise -D in 2367 to plead with him to return home and carry out his Resolution. (“Half a Life” [TNG]). Michelle Forbes would later return as Ensign Ro.
~1:[2,#B],17:[1,#B],19:[1,#BI],24:[1,#I],27:[1,#I]@1Daran V@2Planet with a population of 3,724,000 that was directly in the path of the Fabrini spaceship Yonada in 2268. Assistance by Enterprise personnel diverted Yonada from its collision course, sparing the inhabitants of both worlds. (“For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky” [TOS]).
~1:[1,#B],4:[1,#B],17:[1,#B]@1Daras@2(Valora Noland). Ekosian resistance fighter who was presented the Iron Cross award by Deputy Fuhrer Melakon for apparently betraying her father to her planet's Nazi party in 2268. Daras's actions were actually part of the Ekosian underground's efforts to discredit Melakon and the Nazi party. (“Patterns of Force” [TOS]).
~1: [2, #b], 5: [1, #i], 27: [2, #b], 31: [2, #b], 143: [1, #i]@1Daren, Neela@2(Wendy Hughes). Enterprise -D scientist who headed the ship's Stellar Cartography department in 2369. An accomplished pianist, Lieutenant Commander Neela Daren discovered that Captain Jean-Luc Picard played a Ressikan flute, and the two enjoyed playing duets together. Their mutual appreciation for music soon blossomed into a romantic relationship. When a fierce firestorm threatened lives on planet Bersallis III, Neela Daren was chosen to supervise installation of thermal deflector units to protect the outpost. Commander Daren and several other crew members risked their lives by operating the deflectors manually so all colonists could be safely transported to the ship. After the incident, it became obvious to both that it would be extremely difficult to continue their relationship because Picard would hesitate to place her in danger again. Each refusing to give up their professions, Neela Daren requested a transfer off the Enterprise -D. (“Lessons” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],10:[1,#B],15:[1,#B],21:[1,#B],34:[4,#B],87:[2,#B],114:[2,#B],133:[2,#B],135:[18,#I]@1Darhe'el, Gul@2(Harris Yulin). Cardassian commander of the infamous Gallitep labor camp on planet Bajor. Under Darhe'el's authority, thousands of Bajorans were tortured and killed while working under brutal conditions. Also known as The Butcher of Gallitep, Darhe'el's acts of violence against the people of Bajor won him admiration from his superiors and earned him the Proficient Service Medallion. When ordered to leave Gallitep, Darhe'el ordered all the Bajoran laborers be slaughtered, although several did escape. Darhe'el died in his sleep in 2363 from a massive coleibric hemorrhage, and was buried under one of the largest military monuments on Cardassia with full honors. In 2369, Darhe'el's file clerk from Gallitep, a man named Aamin Marritza, impersonated Darhe'el in hopes of exposing the atrocities that had been committed at Gallitep. (“Duet” [DS9]). SEE: Kalla-Nohra Syndrome. Okay, maybe Harris Yulin didn't actually play Gul Darhe'el. But he played someone who looked exactly like him.
~1:[5,#B],7:[1,#B]@1Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra@2A Tamarian phrase that referred to a mythological hunter on planet Shantil III and his companion Jalad, who met and shared a danger at the mythical island of Tanagra. In the Tamarian metaphorical language, the phrase indicated an attempt to understand another by sharing a common experience. (“Darmok” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],16:[3,#B]@1Darnay's disease@2A deadly ailment that attacks the brain and nervous system of its victims. Dr. Ira Graves died of Darnay's disease in 2365. (“The Schizoid Man” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],5:[1,#I],13:[2,#B]@1Darnell, Crewman@2(Michael Zaslow). Enterprise security officer killed in 2266 by the M-113 creature. (“The Man Trap” [TOS]).

Daro was on board the Enterprise -D as an observer as the Enterprise -D searched for the renegade Starship Phoenix in 2367. Daro made friendly overtures to Chief Miles O'Brien, but O'Brien found it difficult to be cordial to an ex-enemy. (“The Wounded” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],9:[1,#BI],30:[2,#B]@1Darson, Captain@2Commanding officer of the Federation starship Adelphi. Darson was among 47 people killed in the notorious first-contact mission at Ghorusda. Darson was later found responsible for the Ghorusda disaster. (“Tin Man” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],6:[1,#B],33:[1,#B]@1Darthen@2Coastal city on planet Rekag-Seronia. Darthen had been neutral throughout the bitter wars on that planet, and served as the site of a peace conference in 2369 conducted by Federation mediator Alkar. (“Man of the People” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],7:[2,#B],18:[2,#B],36:[1,#B],39:[4,#B]@1Darvin, Arne@2(Charlie Brill). Assistant to Nilz Baris who was in charge of the development project for Sherman's Planet. Mr. Darvin was found to be a Klingon agent, surgically altered, and to have poisoned the quadrotriticale stored at Deep Space Station K-7 to sabotoge the Federation's development project on Sherman's Planet in 2267. (“The Trouble with Tribbles” [TOS]).
~1:[4,#B],11:[2,#B],15:[3,#B],72:[2,#BI],116:[47,#I]@1Darwin Genetic Research Station@2Federation science facility located on planet Gagarin IV, headed by Dr. Sara Kingsley.
In the late 2350s and 2360s, a research project at this station developed human children who had an aggressive immune system capable of attacking disease organisms before they entered a human body. The children's antibodies were also capable of attacking human beings, a fact not discovered until 2365, when the entire crew of the U.S.S. Lantree was killed after exposure to the children.
The scientific staff of the Darwin Station were also afflicted by the antibodies and suffered symptoms resembling hyperaccelerated aging, but a transporter-based technique was successful in restoring all station personnel to normal. (“Unnatural Selection” [TNG]). The Darwin station was named for naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-1882), who postulated the theory of evolution. The exterior of the station was a matte painting created by Illusion Arts. The painting was later reused in other episodes, including as the science station in “Descent, Part I” (TNG).

~1:[1,#B],7:[1,#B],46:[1,#I],55:[2,#B],114:[7,#I]@1Dathon@2(Paul Winfield). Captain of a Tamarian starship who made a heroic attempt to establish communication with the Federation in 2368. When his people were unable to establish communication with the Federation, despite several contacts over the course of a century, Dathon isolated himself and Enterprise -D captain Picard on the surface of planet El-Adrel IV. There, he hoped that face-to-face contact and a shared danger would enable Picard to grasp the unusual nature of Tamarian speech. Although Dathon died from wounds inflicted by a beast on El-Adrel IV, Dathon was ultimately successful in his quest as Picard came to understand the fact that Tamarian speech was based entirely on metaphors. (“Darmok” [TNG]). Paul Winfield also played Captain Terrell in Star Trek II.
~1:[2,#B],8:[1,#I],20:[2,#B],32:[2,#B]@1Davies, Ensign@2(Nicholas Cascone). Geologist aboard the Enterprise -D. Davies participated in the geological survey of planets in the Selcundi Drema Sector in 2365. The survey was supervised by Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher. Davies attempted to assist Crusher in the project, but his offers of help served to undermine young Crusher's confidence. (“Pen Pals” [TNG]).
~1: [2, #b]@1Davila, Carmen@2(Susan Diol). Colony engineer killed by the Crystalline Entity at planet Melona IV in 2368. She had been helping to prepare a colony site at the time. Davila was a friend of William Riker. (“Silicon Avatar” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],8:[1,#I],17:[2,#B],51:[2,#B]@1Davis, Ensign@2(Craig Benton). Member of the Enterprise -D engineering staff. Davis was present when an antimatter containment failure occurred in Engineering. He was one of the last of the engineering crew to escape the matter/antimatter core area before the breach forced closure of the isolation doors. (“Violations” [TNG]). SEE: Keller, Ensign.
~1:[1,#B],8:[2,#I],15:[2,#B],29:[2,#B],44:[33,#I],80:[33,#I]@1Dax@2(Michael Snyder). Crew member aboard the Starship Enterprise -A in 2293. Incriminating evidence, magnetic boots, were planted in Dax's personal locker, implicating him in the murder of Chancellor Gorkon, but Dax's foot structure was clearly unable to fit boots designed for humans. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country). It has been suggested that this Dax may have been an earlier host of the Trill that later served on Deep Space 9. The symbiont character in Deep Space Nine is certainly old enough for this to be possible, but this theory is based on circumstantial evidence only. Michael Snyder also played Morta in “Rascals” (TNG) and Qol in “The Perfect Mate” (TNG).

Named for 23rd-century computer scientist Richard Daystrom. In 2365, Commander Bruce Maddox served as Chair of Robotics at the Daystrom Institute, and also worked with the Cybernetics Division. (“The Measure of a Man” [TNG], “Data's Day” [TNG]). Enterprise -D designer Dr. Leah Brahms was a graduate of the Daystrom Institute. (“Booby Trap” [TNG]). Archaeologist Vash, who continued Dr. Samuel Estragon's work to locate the fabled Tox Uthat after his death in 2366, promised Estragon that she would present the Uthat to the Daystrom Institute if she did find it. (“Captain's Holiday” [TNG]). In 2369, Vash was invited to speak at the Daystrom Institute concerning her travels in the Gamma Quadrant. This came as quite a surprise, since her membership to the Institute's Archaeological Council had been suspended twice for illegally selling artifacts. Vash declined the offer so that she could continue exploring archeological ruins throughout the galaxy. (“Q-Less” [DS9]). An annex of the Daystrom Institute was located on planet Galor IV. (“The Offspring” [TNG]). The Daystrom Institute was, of course, a tip of the hat to “The Ultimate Computer” (TOS).
