The Devidians existed in a slightly different time continuum from “normal” matter, and thus were only barely detectable to an individual in “normal” time. The Devidians thrived on neural energy that they stole from dying life-forms. In 2368, the Devidians sent an expedition back in time to 19th-century Earth, where they attempted to extract large amounts of neural energy from victims of the cholera epidemic in the city of San Francisco. They were prevented from doing so by members of the Enterprise -D crew who also traveled back in time. (“Time's Arrow, Parts I and II” [TNG]).

The Devoras met the Enterprise -D inside the Romulan Neutral Zone, ostensibly to transfer Federation Ambassador T'Pel aboard the Devoras for treaty negotiations, in 2367. In actuality, T'Pel was a Romulan agent named Subcommander Selok, and the transfer was her means of escape into Romulan hands. (“Data's Day” [TNG]).

Devos was in charge of investigating an incident in which Enterprise -D officers Beverly Crusher and Jean-Luc Picard were kidnapped by Ansata terrorists. The abduction was a successful bid by the Ansata to force Rutian government recognition of the Ansata demands for independence. Embittered by the atrocities she had seen during her six-month tenure in that sector, Devos had little sympathy for the Ansata movement, but nevertheless agreed to work with the Enterprise -D crew in order to locate and rescue Dr. Crusher and Captain Picard.

The cloud creature fed on the red blood cells of humanoid life-forms, and was able to camouflage itself by momentarily throwing itself out of time sync, permitting it to be two places at once. This creature attacked the U.S.S. Farragut in 2257, killing the ship's captain and 200 of the crew. Lieutenant James T. Kirk, a crew member aboard the Farragut at the time, fired on the creature, with no effect. Years later, in 2268, the Starship Enterprise, with Captain James Kirk in command, encountered the same entity. Kirk followed the creature to planet Tycho IV, where he destroyed it with an antimatter blast. (“Obsession” [TOS]).
~1:[1,#B],22:[3,#B],28:[2,#BI],33:[2,#B]@1dikironium@2Gaseous element, formerly thought to be merely a laboratory curiosity. The substance was found to be a component in the dikironium cloud creature that killed 200 U.S.S. Farragut personnel at planet Tycho IV in 2257. (“Obsession” [TOS]).
~1:[1,#B],105:[6,#I],167:[1,#B],180:[1,#B],195:[2,#B]@1dilithium@2Crystalline substance used in warp propulsion systems aboard starships. Dilithium regulates the matter/antimatter reactions that provide the energy necessary to warp space and travel faster than light. Naturally occurring dilithium is extremely rare and is mined on only a few planets. Until the advent of recrystallization techniques that permitted the production of synthetic dilithium, the crystals were among the most valuable substances in the galaxy. This breakthrough occurred in 2286 when Spock (who had traveled back in time to 1986), devised a means whereby dilithium crystals could be recrystallized by exposure to gamma radiation (high-energy photons) that were by-products of nuclear fission reactions. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home).
In later years, theta-matrix compositing techniques permitted even more efficient recrystallization. (“Family” [TNG]). By the late 2360s, recrystallization techniques had advanced to the point that crystals could be recomposited while still inside the articulation frame of the dilithium chamber, extending the useful life of the crystals even further. (“Relics” [TNG]). Dilithium was also abundant on planet Coridan, admitted to the Federation in 2267. (“Journey to Babel” [TOS]). The planet Troyius is a rich source of naturally occurring dilithium crystals. (“Elaan of Troyius” [TOS]). SEE: lithium crystals.
~1:[3,#B],22:[4,#B],37:[1,#I],77:[3,#B]@1dilithium chamber hatch@2Outer door of the matter/antimatter reaction chamber in a starship's warp engine. The hatch permitted access to the dilithium crystal articulation frame for servicing and crystal replacement. The dilithium chamber hatch on the Enterprise -D failed in early 2367, resulting in a massive explosion in the ship's engine room. Although sabotage was initially suspected, it was later found that undetectable submicron fractures had existed in a defective hatch installed on the ship at Earth Station McKinley earlier that year. (“The Drumhead” [TNG]).
~1:[4,#B],9:[2,#B],16:[2,#B],51:[1,#I],100:[3,#B],107:[3,#B]@1dilithium crystal articulation frame@2Part of a starship's warp drive system, a device that held dilithium crystals in the matter/antimatter stream so that the crystals could control the reaction in the chamber. Collapse of the articulation frame was thought to be the cause of a dilithium chamber explosion aboard the Enterprise -D in 2367. It was believed that sabotage was responsible for the explosion, a supposition supported by the discovery that plans for the articulation frame had been transmitted to the Romulans. The explosion was nevertheless later found to be accidental, the result of a materials defect in the dilithium chamber hatch. (“The Drumhead” [TNG]). SEE: J'Ddan; neutron fatigue.
~1:[3,#B],51:[1,#I]@1dilithium crystal chamber@2Component of a starship's warp propulsion system. Located in the matter/antimatter reaction chamber, the dilithium crystal chamber controlled the reactions and routed the power flow to the warp nacelles. Within the chamber, the dilithium crystal was mounted within a device called an articulation frame. A prototype of Enterprise -D's chamber was developed at Seran T-One on stardate 40052. An improved version of the chamber, one which would permit adjustment of the crystal lattice direction, was under development for incorporation into the next class of starship. (“Booby Trap” [TNG]).

Captain Dirgo was assigned to transport Captain Picard and Ensign Crusher from the Enterprise -D to a conference on Pentarus V. When the shuttle malfunctioned and was forced to crash-land on a Pentaran moon, Dirgo was reluctant to accept Captain Picard's leadership in what became a struggle for survival on the desert planet. Despite this, Dirgo continued to act impulsively and caused his own death. (“Final Mission” [TNG]). SEE: sentry. Nick Tate also played astronaut Alan Carter on the series Space: 1999.

An individual who receives discommendation is treated as nonexistent in the eyes of Klingon society. The individual's family is also disgraced for seven generations. Worf accepted a humiliating discommendation from the Klingon High Council in 2366 when his late father, Mogh, was accused of having committed treason at Khitomer in 2346, despite the fact that council leader K'mpec knew the charges to be unfounded. (“Sins of the Father” [TNG]). Worf's discommendation was reversed in 2367 by Council leader Gowron, shortly after Gowron assumed the office of Council leader. (“Redemption, Part I” [TNG]).

(Star Trek III, “The Bonding” [TNG], “Redemption, Part I [TNG], “Birthright, Part II” [TNG]). The Klingon knife, first used to kill David Marcus in Star Trek III, was designed by Phil Norwood. It was also seen in “The Bonding” (TNG) and several later episodes. It was given a name in “Birthright, Part II” (TNG). When it was used for the Next Generation, the original prop was not available, so Rick Sternbach duplicated the design for the show's prop makers, using a Star Trek trading card for reference.
~1:[1,#B],118:[3,#B]@1DNA@2Acronym for deoxyribonucleic acid, a complex chemical chain containing the genetic codes enabling the reproduction of life on many planets. Virtually every individual life-form on such planets has a DNA code, which contains information common to that species, as well as distinguishing information unique to that individual. Because of this, DNA sequencing can be used as a means of positively identifying an individual, although it cannot distinguish between the individual and a clone. Many humanoid species throughout the galaxy share a common DNA structure, a characteristic that was recently discovered to be due to a humanoid species that lived some four billion years ago that “seeded” many planets with primordial genetic material.

Suffering from serious injuries, “Doe” (so designated by Dr. Beverly Crusher, with whom Doe became romantically involved) was treated aboard the Enterprise -D, where he astounded the medical staff with his extremely rapid recovery. Doe was later found to be a member of a persecuted minority of Zalkonian society, a group that was undergoing a metamorphosis from humanoid forms into noncorporeal beings. Doe had fled into space to escape the Zalkonian government's attempts to destroy all who exhibited these traits. He completed his transfiguration aboard the Enterprise -D, and was last seen flying off into space, a being of pure energy. (“Transfigurations” [TNG]).
