~1:[2,#B],7:[2,#B],22:[1,#B],75:[1,#I],96:[2,#B],129:[1,#B]@1Drema IV@2Fourth planet in the Selcundi Drema system, home to a humanoid civilization. This planet possesses the largest deposits of dilithium ore ever recorded. This ore is laid down in unusually aligned lattices that converted the planet's geologic heat into mechanical stress, thus resulting in significant tectonic instabilities that nearly destroyed the planet. While possessing some advanced technology, this planet was still under Prime Directive protection in 2365, and thus the discovery that Enterprise -D officer Data had been in radio contact with an inhabitant of the planet presented a significant problem. While the Prime Directive prohibited contact with the inhabitants, humanitarian considerations demanded a means of assistance that avoided cultural contamination. Such a means was found, and the geological instabilities were neutralized by the use of resonator probes launched from orbit without the knowledge of the planet's inhabitants. (“Pen Pals” [TNG]).

Protected by her father from the harsh realities of her society, Droxine was unaware of the bitter life led by the Troglytes who toiled on the planet's surface to support her life in the clouds.

A member of a politically powerful Klingon family, and member of the Klingon High Council. In 2366, Duras sought to conceal evidence that his father, Ja'rod, had committed treason during the Khitomer massacre in 2346. Duras fabricated evidence implicating Mogh, father of Worf, as the guilty party. Duras was initially successful in forcing the council to rule against Mogh's family, although council leader K'mpec was aware of Duras's treachery. (“Sins of the Father” [TNG]). Following the murder of council leader K'mpec in 2367, Duras sought to win K'mpec's position. Duras was one of two contenders for the leadership, and he used a bomb in an attempt to insure his selection by eliminating Gowron, his competitor. It was also suspected that Gowron was responsible for K'mpec's death by poison. During the rite of succession, Duras also killed K'Ehleyr, Worf's mate, when she was on the verge of discovering the truth about Duras's cover-up of his father's crimes. Duras was subsequently killed by Worf, who sought the right of vengeance under Klingon law. (“Reunion” [TNG]). Following Duras's death, his family continued to play a significant role in Klingon politics. (“Redemption, Parts I and II” [TNG], “Past Prologue” [DS9]). SEE: Lursa; B'Etor; Toral.

~1: [3, #b], 108: [1, #b], 111: [13, #i]@1Durken, Chancellor Avel@2(George Coe). The head of state on planet Malcor III in 2367. Durken led his people during the time when Malcorian advances in spaceflight promised great benefits to his people. Unfortunately, more conservative elements in his government greatly feared the cultural risks of contact with extraterrestrial life. The discovery that Federation operatives had been conducting covert surveillance on his planet as a possible prelude to first contact provoked a violent reaction from these conservative elements, leading Durken to scale back the Malcorian space program. Durken also asked Captain Picard to postpone indefinitely any plans for Federation contact with the Malcorians. (“First Contact” [TNG]). SEE: Krola; Yale, Mirasta. George Coe also played the head of Network 23 in the television series Max Headroom.

DY-100 vessels used nuclear-powered engines and were equipped with suspended-animation facilities for extended voyages. The S.S. Botany Bay, launched from Earth in 1996, was a DY-100 -class ship. Sleeper ships like the DY-100 fell from general use by 2018 because of significant improvements in sublight propulsion technology. (“Space Seed” [TOS]).

~1:[2,#B],82:[2,#B],86:[1,#I],92:[1,#BI],163:[20,#I]@1Dyson sphere@2A gigantic artificial structure designed to completely enclose a star in a hollow sphere some 200 million kilometers in diameter. The interior surface of such a sphere, if constructed to provide a life-supporting environment, could theoretically provide the surface area of literally hundreds of millions of planets. Dyson spheres were long believed to be impractical to build due to their extreme size and the astronomical amount of raw materials required for construction. Nevertheless, a Dyson sphere was discovered near Norpin V when the Enterprise -D found the transport ship Jenolen, which had crashed on the sphere's surface in 2294. This object was built around a G-type star, and supported a class-M atmosphere that clung to the interior surface of the sphere. The shell was composed of carbon-neutronium, with an interior surface area of some 1016 square kilometers. No signs of current habitation were found on that interior surface, apparently because the star was undergoing severe bursts of radiation. (“Relics” [TNG]). The basic concept was first proposed in the 1960s by Earth scientist Freeman Dyson, after whom the sphere is named.
~1:[2,#B],38:[2,#B]@1Dytallix B@2Planet in the Mira star system, one of seven worlds owned by the Dytallix Mining Corporation. Although the mines were long abandoned by 2364, the planet was the site of a covert meeting where Captain Walker Keel warned Jean-Luc Picard of his suspicions of an alien infiltration of Starfleet in that year. (“Conspiracy” [TNG]).
