~1:[4,#B],11:[1,#B],18:[22,#I]@1high energy X-ray laser@2A ship-mounted weapon in use aboard Talarian warships in 2367. (“Suddenly Human” [TNG]). High-energy X-ray lasers have a basis in 20th-century technology, developed as part of the Strategic Defense Initiative, better known as “Star Wars.”
~1:[1,#B],12:[1,#I],24:[2,#B]@1Hildebrandt@2(Anne H. Gillespie). Specialist in volcanology and geomechanics aboard the Enterprise -D. Hildebrandt assisted in the geological survey of planets in the Selcundi Drema Sector in 2365. (“Pen Pals” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],7:[1,#B],15:[3,#B],51:[8,#I],61:[7,#I]@1hill people@2Tribe of hunter-gatherers on Tyree's planet living in huts and caves. Lieutenant James T. Kirk visited these people in 2254 when he commanded his first planet survey. Kirk returned in 2267 to find the hill people facing their neighbors, the villagers, as enemies. (“A Private Little War” [TOS]). Kirk was apparently a crew member aboard the U.S.S. Farragut at the time of his first visit.
~1:[3,#B],5:[1,#I],28:[3,#B]@1Hill, Dr. Richard@2An Enterprise -D staff physician. He was one of the first crew members to disappear from Beverly Crusher's universe during her entrapment in a static warp bubble in 2367. (“Remember Me” [TNG]).
~1:[4,#B],48:[1,#I]@1Hindu Festival of Lights@2Also known as Divali, the Festival of Lights celebrates the return of Rama to his kingdom to become the rightful king. Celebrants would light rows of oil lamps or candles to welcome Rama home. In 2367, the festival was celebrated on board the Enterprise -D on stardate 44390, a day that saw four crew birthdays, two personnel transfers, two chess tournaments, a school play, two promotions, a birth, and a wedding. (“Data's Day” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B]@1hippocampus@2A component of the limbic system in a humanoid brain. The hippocampus coordinates the olfaction, autonomic functions, and some aspects of emotional behavior. (“Violations” [TNG], “Conundrum” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],56:[2,#B]@1histamine@2Biochemical substance produced by the breakdown of histidine, an amino acid found in humanoid tissues. Histamine is produced by the body when it comes in contact with substances to which the body is sensitized, and is a primary factor in the humanoid allergic response. Histamine levels are characteristically depressed by a disease known as Iresine Syndrome. (“Violations” [TNG]).
~1:[4,#B],17:[2,#BI]@1Hobson, Lieutenant Commander Christopher@2(Timothy Carhart). Starfleet officer who served as Data's first officer aboard the U.S.S. Sutherland during the Starfleet blockade of the Romulan border in 2368. His first official act in that position was to request a transfer off the ship. (“Redemption, Part II” [TNG]).
~1:[6,#B],54:[3,#B]@1Hodgkins' Law of Parallel Planet Development@2Sociologic theory postulating that similar planets with similar populations and similar environments will evolve in similar ways. Planet 892-IV was an example of this principle in that it was technologically similar to 20th-century Earth, but culturally it resembled the ancient Roman Empire. (“Bread and Circuses” [TOS]). SEE: 892, Planet IV.
~1:[1,#B],8:[1,#B],14:[1,#B],22:[1,#I]@1Hodin@2(David Hurst). Prime minister of planet Gideon in 2268 and father to Odona. Hodin masterminded a desperate plan to abduct Enterprise captain James T. Kirk to help alleviate the overpopulation crisis facing his planet. (“The Mark of Gideon” [TOS]).

Holberg 917G was also a source of the rare mineral ryetalyn, an antidote to deadly Rigelian fever that infested the crew of the Starship Enterprise in 2269. (“Requiem for Methuselah” [TOS]). Flint's castle exterior was a re-use of the Rigel fortress matte painting originally created for “The Cage” (TOS).
~1:[3,#B],13:[1,#B],26:[1,#I],34:[1,#I],35:[1,#BI]@1hole in space@2A spatial phenomenon created by the extra-dimensional being called Nagilum. This phenomenon was used by Nagilum as a means of entrapping the Enterprise -D along with an image of the Starship Yamato . (“Where Silence Has Lease” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],16:[2,#BI],23:[7,#I],35:[3,#I]@1Hollander, Eli@2(John Pyper-Ferguson). Holodeck character, known as The Butcher of Bozeman, from the program Ancient West. (“A Fistful of Datas” [TNG]). Bozeman is the hometown in Montana of Star Trek: The Next Generation writer Brannon Braga.

This material is stable only within a holographic environment simulator; if removed from the holodeck, it degrades into energy. The characters of Felix Leech and Cyrus Redblock were composed of holodeck matter and disintegrated when they attempted to leave the holodeck. (“The Big Goodbye” [TNG]). Professor James Moriarty agreed to remain within the holodeck to avoid the same fate. (“Elementary, Dear Data” [TNG]). Moriarty later devised an elaborate scheme, simulating an entire starship within the holodeck, in an effort to convince the Enterprise -D crew that he had devised a method of existing outside the holodeck. (“Ship in a Bottle” [TNG]). In 2369, in an unsuccessful attempt to fulfill Professor James Moriarty's wish to leave the holodeck, the crew of the Enterprise -D conducted an experiment during which they attempted to beam holodeck matter off the grid and into the real transporter system. (“Ship in a Bottle” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],4:[1,#B],25:[2,#B],35:[1,#I]@1holodiction@2Contraction for holodeck addiction. A psychological condition where an individual becomes so caught up in holographic simulations that the real world becomes unimportant. Reginald Barclay suffered this affliction when first assigned to the Enterprise -D in 2366. (“Hollow Pursuits” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],26:[1,#B]@1hologenerators@2Technical equipment used to generate holographic environment imagery at Quark's bar on Deep Space 9 and similar facilities. Deep Space 9 entrepreneur Quark told Odo that he would like to expand into the space next door to his bar on the station's Promenade so that he could use the same hologenerators to create more programs. (“If Wishes Were Horses” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B],53:[2,#B],66:[1,#B]@1hologram generator@2Device used by anthropological field teams to conceal a planetary surface survey station from indigenous life-forms. Use of the holographic image generator allows a team to observe such life-forms at close range without the subjects being aware of the team's presence. The hologram generator used by the field team on Mintaka III failed in early 2366, resulting in accidental cultural contamination when the Mintakans saw the team and their advanced technology. (“Who Watches the Watchers?” [TNG]).

Captain Picard studied the Homeric hymns following his encounter with the Tamarians in the hope that by learning more of human mythology, he might better understand the Tamarians. (“Darmok” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],11:[1,#BI],65:[7,#B]@1Hon'Tihl@2(Tom Towles). Klingon first officer of the attack cruiser Toh'Kaht. Hon'Tihl beamed off his ship just before it exploded, immediately after returning from an exploratory mission into the Gamma Quadrant. Although Hon'Tihl died shortly after beaming to Deep Space 9, his log entries were reviewed by station personnel in an attempt to learn what happened to the ill-fated vessel.

~1: [1, #b], 42: [1, #b]@1Honorius@2Flavius Honorius (A.D. 384-423), the last Western Roman emperor, who was in power when the Visigoths sacked Rome. Captain Picard, on the eve of the battle of Wolf 359, compared the fate of the Federation at the hands of the Borg to the defeat of the Roman Empire under Honorius. (“The Best of Both Worlds, Part I” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#BI],3:[1,#I],12:[1,#I],20:[1,#B]@1Hood, U.S.S.@2Constitution -class Federation starship, Starfleet registry number NCC-1703. The Hood participated in the disastrous tests of the M-5 multitronic computer unit in 2268. (“The Ultimate Computer” [TOS]).

Commanded by Captain Robert DeSoto. Commander William T. Riker served aboard this ship prior to his assignment to the Enterprise -D. (“Encounter at Farpoint, Parts I and II” [TNG]). The Hood intercepted the Enterprise -D in the Hayashi system to deliver Tam Elbrun and new orders for the Enterprise to proceed to Beta Stromgren for the encounter with Tin Man in 2366. (“Tin Man” [TNG]). The Hood was one of the starships sent to the Romulan Neutral Zone border in preparation for a possible battle after Starfleet received warnings of a Romulan buildup at planet Nelvana III in 2366. The warnings, from Romulan defector Alidar Jarok, were later found to be baseless. (“The Defector” [TNG]). The Hood was scheduled to join the Enterprise -D on a terraforming mission to planet Browder IV in 2366. (“Allegiance” [TNG]). This was presumably at least the second Federation starship to bear the name. The Hood was a re-use of the Excelsior model built for Star Trek III. The footage of the Hood flying alongside the Enterprise -D was re-used numerous times to represent other Excelsior -class ships.

To own one was to call forth its powers and to display one was to announce that the owner was seeking jamaharon. Riker requested that Picard bring him back one as a souvenir when the captain visited Risa in 2366. It was Riker's attempt to set Picard up for a sexual encounter, but Picard needed no outside assistance in finding companionship. (“Captain's Holiday” [TNG]). The Horga'hn brought back by Picard can sometimes be seen adorning Riker's quarters in later episodes.

One of the first deep-space exploratory vessels launched by the United Federation of Planets, the Horizon visited planet Sigma Iotia II in 2168. The Horizon was destroyed shortly thereafter, transmitting a distress call by conventional radio that did not reach Federation space until 2268. It was later found that Horizon personnel had left a book entitled Chicago Mobs of the Twenties on the planet, causing severe cultural contamination. The Horizon mission predated the establishment of Starfleet's Prime Directive of noninterference. (“A Piece of the Action” [TOS]). The class and registry designations of the Horizon are conjectural, but a desktop model bearing that name and number has been seen as set decoration on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
~1:[2,#B]@1Horne, Walter@2An instructor in Creative Writing at Starfleet Academy. Horne was Captain Picard's professor during the 2320s, and also taught Wesley Crusher in 2368. (“The Game” [TNG]).

It served in Picard's armada to blockade Romulan supply ships supplying the Duras family forces during the Klingon civil war of 2368. (“Redemption, Part II” [TNG]). The Hornet was named for an American ship that fought at the Battle of Midway. Another famous ship with that name was the recovery vessel for the Apollo 11 moon landing mission. SEE: Akagi, U.S.S.
~1:[1,#B],4:[2,#B],9:[2,#B],106:[3,#B],122:[1,#I],175:[1,#B],176:[16,#I],194:[19,#I]@1Horta@2(Janos Prohaska). Silicon-based life-form native to planet Janus VI. The Horta's natural environment is underground, and it secretes a powerful corrosive acid to enable it to move through solid rock with great ease. Every 50,000 years, all but one Horta dies, leaving the sole survivor to care for the eggs. This individual becomes the mother to her race. The Horta were discovered in 2267 by Federation mining personnel on Janus VI when a number of unexplained deaths among the miners were found to be caused by the mother Horta protecting her eggs. The miners had unknowingly broken into a subterranean chamber known as the Vault of Tomorrow, where the Horta's eggs were stored. The Hortas' true nature were discovered when Enterprise science officer Spock mind-melded with the mother Horta. Once a level of understanding was achieved between the Horta and the humans, the Horta had no objection to sharing their planet, and in fact agreed to help the miners harvest the abundant minerals on Janus VI. (“The Devil in the Dark” [TOS]). SEE: pergium. The Horta was designed, built, and performed by Janos Prohaska, who reportedly wore the costume into Star Trek producer Gene Coon's office. Coon liked the creature so much he wrote “Devil in the Dark” to feature it.
~1:[1,#B],4:[1,#B],19:[1,#B]@1host@2In the Trill joined species, a host is a humanoid life-form in whose body resides a Trill symbiont. The combination of the two life-forms forms a single Trill individual. (“The Host” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],21:[2,#B],38:[10,#I],50:[15,#I]@1Hotel Brian@2Hostelry in 19th-century San Francisco on Earth where Data stayed while in Earth's past. A bellboy there named Jack London would one day become a noted literary figure. (“Time's Arrow, Parts I and II” [TNG]). The Hotel Brian was named for Brian Livingston, son of Star Trek producer-director David Livingston. The exterior of Hotel Brian was shot on location in old Pasadena.
~1:[2,#BI],37:[1,#BI],58:[1,#I],72:[3,#B],80:[1,#I]@1Hotel Royale@2An early 21st-century novel written by Todd Matthews concerning a luxury hotel of the same name and the various shady characters inhabiting it. A copy of the novel was carried aboard the explorer ship Charybdis when it was launched from Earth in 2037. When an unknown alien intelligence accidentally killed nearly everyone on board the Charybdis, the intelligence fabricated the Hotel Royale based on descriptions in the book for Colonel Stephen Richey, the sole survivor of the Charybdis crew, to live in. Unknown to the alien intelligence, the resulting artificial environment, based on a badly written book, was a kind of hell to Richey, who welcomed death when it came. (“The Royale” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],9:[1,#B],15:[1,#B]@1Hovath@2(Lawrence Monoson). Inhabitant of a village on Bajor who was apprentice to the Sirah. Hovath studied for nine years to be the next Sirah, learning the secrets of the storyteller. Hovath was nevertheless unready to assume the responsibility in 2369 when his mentor was ready to die. The old Sirah took the seemingly irrational step of appointing Miles O'Brien as the new Sirah, thereby motivating Hovath to try much harder. (“The Storyteller” [DS9]).
