The passengers on the asteroid ship, called Yonada, revered their creators for having literally built their world and established their society. (“For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky” [TOS]). SEE: Fabrini.
~1:[1,#B],7:[1,#B],53:[1,#BI],65:[1,#B],104:[1,#B],105:[11,#I]@1Fabrini@2Humanoids from the star system Fabrina who constructed a ship disguised as an asteroid to carry some of their people to safety before their star exploded 10,000 years ago. The creators of the asteroid/ship devised a religion intended to guide their descendants in their lives aboard the mobile world they called Yonada. The Yonadan religion was enforced by a powerful computer called the Oracle, which attempted to provide as normal an environment as possible for the people, concealing from them the fact that they were living on a spaceship. (“For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky” [TOS]). SEE: Natira. The Fabrini apparently disembarked at their promised land sometime in 2269.

A Zibalian trader and an unscrupulous member of the Stacius Trade Guild, Fajo was owner of the trade ship Jovis. Fajo was known for his fondness for such unique collectible items as the Rejac Crystal, Van Gogh's “The Starry Night,” and the only existing 1962 Roger Maris baseball card. In 2366, Fajo attempted to abduct the android Data for his collection. Data managed to escape Fajo's capture, but in the process, Fajo murdered his assistant, a woman named Varria. Fajo was subsequently placed under arrest and his collection confiscated. (“The Most Toys” [TNG]). SEE: Beta Agni II.

Until 2285, the ceremony had not been performed for centuries, since in most cases a Vulcan's katra is returned home after the death of the body. Sarek requested the fal-tor-pan for his son, Spock, whose body had been regenerated at the Genesis Planet following his death there in 2285. High priestess T'Lar noted that the fal-tor-pan had not been attempted since “ages past,” and then only in legend. Nevertheless, the ritual was successful in reuniting Spock's body and soul. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock).

(“The Quality of Life” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],8:[1,#B],24:[1,#B]@1Faren Kag@2(Jim Jansen). Magistrate of a Bajoran village. Faren requested medical help from Deep Space 9 in 2369 when their storyteller, the Sirah, fell ill. (“The Storyteller” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B],18:[2,#B]@1Farpoint Station@2Believed to be a large, advanced spaceport facility built by the Bandi people of planet Deneb IV. It was later discovered that the station was actually a shape-shifting spaceborne life-form that had been coerced by the Bandi into assuming the form of the starbase.
The creature was eventually allowed to return to space. An agreement with the Bandi for the use of a rebuilt Farpoint Station was concluded shortly after the departure of the creature. (“Encounter at Farpoint, Parts I and II” [TNG]).

(TOS)@2Federation starship, Constitution class, Starfleet registry number NCC-1647, commanded by Captain Garrovick. The Farragut was Lieutenant James T. Kirk's first assignment after leaving Starfleet Academy. In 2257, 200 members of the Farragut crew, including Captain Garrovick, were killed by the dikironium cloud creature discovered at planet Tycho IV. (“Obsession” [TOS]).
~1:[2,#B],9:[2,#B],11:[1,#I]@1Farrell (mirror)@2(Pete Kellett). Crew member on the mirror universe Enterprise who saved Captain Kirk from Chekov's assassination attempt. In the tradition of the alternate universe, Farrell expected that his betrayal of Chekov would earn him favor with the captain. (“Mirror, Mirror” [TOS])

Leader of the representative council governing the United Federation of Planets. The Federation president warned all spaceships to stay away from Earth when that planet's environment was being devastated by an alien space probe in 2286. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home). A later president played by Kurtwood Smith was in office when a massive ecological disaster forced the Klingon government into making unprecedented peace overtures to the Federation. These initiatives were disrupted by forces seeking to maintain the status quo, but the president avoided degeneration of the situation by adhering to the articles of interstellar law. An attempt was made on the president's life at the Khitomer conference by Starfleet colonel West, but the president was saved by Captain Kirk. The Federation president's office is located in the city of Paris on planet Earth. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country). The Federation president in Star Trek VI had makeup identical to that of the navigator aboard the ill-fated U.S.S. Saratoga in Star Trek IV, so one might assume that both individuals were members of the same alien race. Robert Ellenstein also played Steven Miller in “Haven” (TNG).

The council chambers are located in the city of San Francisco on planet Earth. The Federation council met to consider Kirk's violation of Starfleet orders and his theft and destruction of the U.S.S. Enterprise was a matter of sufficient gravity that the Council itself deliberated Kirk's fate. Despite a strong protest from the Klingon government, the Council not only dismissed all but one charge, but also reinstated Kirk as captain of the new Starship Enterprise, NCC-1701-A. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home).

In 2367, Ardra appeared on planet Ventax II as Fek'lhr while trying to convince Enterprise -D personnel of her allegedly supernatural powers. Worf was not impressed. (“Devil's Due” [TNG]). SEE: Sto-Vo-Kor. Kang, in “Day of the Dove” (TOS), noted that the Klingon culture has no devil, so Fek'lhr would seem to have a different role in Klingon mythology. Either that, or Ardra didn't know everything about Klingons.
~1:[1,#B],11:[1,#B],30:[1,#B]@1felicium@2A narcotic substance produced from plants on the planet Brekka. Felicium has other medicinal properties, and was used, centuries ago, to cure a deadly plague on neighboring planet Ornara.

United States Air Force officer who interrogated Captain Kirk when Kirk was arrested at the Omaha Air Base on Earth in 1969. Kirk was on a covert mission to eliminate records of the Enterprise's accidental presence in Earth's past to avoid the possible contamination of history.
Fellini became frustrated with Kirk (who could not answer any questions for fear of causing further contamination), and threatened to lock the captain up for 200 years. Kirk thought that was just about right. (“Tomorrow Is Yesterday” [TOS]). We assume that the original Star Trek series was actually set some 300 years in the future.

~1:[3,#B],93:[38,#I],134:[12,#I]@1Fermat's last theorem@2A mathematical puzzle devised by 17th-century French mathematician Pierre de Fermat (1601-1665), who claimed to have developed a proof for the theorem that there is no whole number N where X to the Nth power, plus Y to the Nth, equals Z to the Nth, where N is greater than 2. Following Fermat's death, his notes indicated he had devised a “remarkable proof” of the theorem, but no one has yet been able to figure out what it might have been, including amateur scientist Jean-Luc Picard. (“The Royale” [TNG]). After the episode was produced in 1989, a Princeton University professor, Andrew Wiles, claimed to have developed a proof to Fermat's theorem, although at this writing (1993) the academic community has yet to pass judgment on his proof. We have a wonderful proof, but it won't fit in your computer.

Federation bureaucrat who was assigned to the Enterprise to oversee the delivery of medical supplies to planet Makus III for transfer to the New Paris colonies. Ferris opposed a scientific shuttle mission just prior to the transfer on the grounds that it might delay the transfer. Ferris's objections were borne out when the shuttlecraft was lost during the investigation, but the Enterprise was able to make the Makus III rendezvous after recovering most of the shuttle's crew.

During this stage, the metamorph produces an elevated level of sexual pheromones, and is extremely vulnerable to the empathic emanations of the opposite sex. The empath's behavior can change frequently to suit the needs of potential mates. Kamala, an empathic metamorph, was in the final stages of the Finiis'ral when she traveled aboard the Enterprise -D in 2368 for the Ceremony of Reconciliation between Krios and Valt. Her effect on the male members of the crew was, to say the least, interesting. (“The Perfect Mate” [TNG]).

He hoped by holding Starfleet hostages, he could force the Federation into becoming involved in the Ansata struggle for independence. A complicated man, Finn twisted the efforts of the crew to rescue the doctor into threats to his cause, and began to make Dr. Crusher doubt her beliefs about the Federation position on Rutia IV. Finn was killed in 2366 by Alexana Devos when Rutian security forces located the Ansata base with help from Enterprise -D personnel. (“The High Ground” [TNG]).
