Only Decker remained on board and was helpless when that planet was also destroyed. (“The Doomsday Machine” [TOS]).
~1: [3, #b], 10: [2, #i], 30: [1, #b], 62: [2, #i], 169: [2, #b], 230: [2, #b], 302: [1, #i], 319: [2, #bi], 341: [2, #b], 357: [2, #b], 414: [1, #i], 426: [1, #i], 429: [2, #b], 451: [2, #i], 495: [1, #i], 498: [2, #b], 562: [87, #i], 651: [4, #i]@1La Forge, Geordi@2(LeVar Burton). Chief engineer aboard the Starship Enterprise -D. Born blind in 2335 because of a birth defect, La Forge wore a remarkable device called a VISOR that permitted him to see with greater clarity than other humans could. Geordi La Forge came from a family of Starfleet officers. His mother, Silva La Forge, was captain of the U.S.S. Hera at the time of her death in 2370 (“Interface” [TNG]), and his father was an exobiologist. Geordi recalled that, even though he moved around a great deal, he considered his childhood a great adventure. (“Imaginary Friend” [TNG]). La Forge did not receive his VISOR until after his fifth birthday. (“Hero Worship” [TNG]). Geordi was caught in a fire when he was five years old. He was rescued by his parents, and was not injured. Geordi recalled how for a time after the incident it was extremely important for him to know where his parents were at all times. (“Hero Worship” [TNG]). Geordi had a pet Circassian cat when he was eight. (“Violations” [TNG]). Possibly because his parents traveled so much when he was a child, Geordi had something of a knack for languages. One such language was Halii. (“Aquiel” [TNG]). Geordi La Forge graduated from Starfleet Academy in 2357. (“The Next Phase” [TNG]). One of La Forge's first Starfleet assignments was as shuttle pilot for the Jovian run between Jupiter and Saturn. (“Chain of Command, Part II” [TNG]). La Forge first met Captain Picard when La Forge piloted Picard's shuttle on an inspection tour. During the tour, Picard made an offhanded remark about a minor inefficiency in the shuttle's engines, and La Forge subsequently stayed up all night to repair the problem. Picard was so impressed with the incident that he requested La Forge be assigned to the Enterprise -D in 2364. (“The Next Phase” [TNG]). La Forge later served as an ensign on the U.S.S. Victory under the command of Captain Zimbata. (“Elementary, Dear Data” [TNG]). One of Geordi's closest friends on that ship was Lieutenant Susanna Leijten. In 2362, both La Forge and Leijten participated in an away mission to planet Tarchannen III. It was later realized that all members of that away team were infected by an alien DNA strand that would, if unchecked, compel them to return to Tarchannen III, where they would be transformed into a native Tarchannen life-form. La Forge was saved from the transformation in 2367 by Leijten's actions and medical intervention by Enterprise -D CMO Crusher. (“Identity Crisis” [TNG]). La Forge transferred to the Enterprise -D as flight controller (conn) in 2364. (“Encounter at Farpoint, Parts I and II” [TNG]). Geordi was promoted to full lieutenant and assigned as U.S.S. Enterprise -D chief engineer the following year, just prior to stardate 42073.1. (“The Child” [TNG]). Although brilliantly proficient as a starship engineer, La Forge had difficulty building relationships with women. Perhaps as a result, Geordi developed an attachment to a holographic representation of Enterprise -D designer Leah Brahms. (“Booby Trap” [TNG]). The real Dr. Brahms was outraged to learn of this simulation, noting that creating such a replica without her permission was an invasion of privacy. Brahms did eventually become friends with La Forge, although Geordi was disappointed to learn that Leah was already married. (“Galaxy's Child” [TNG]). La Forge was promoted to lieutenant commander in early 2366. (“Evolution” [TNG]). The name of Geordi's mother was listed as Alvera K. La Forge on Geordi's death certificate, seen in “The Next Phase” (TNG), but was established as Silva La Forge in “Interface” (TNG). His father (played by Ben Vereen) was seen in that episode, but no first name was established for him, although his bio screen seen in “Conundrum” (TNG) suggested it might be Edward M. La Forge. Geordi La Forge, whose first appearance was in “Encounter at Farpoint” (TNG), was named in memory of the late, handicapped Star Trek fan George La Forge.
~1:[3,#B],36:[1,#B],42:[7,#I],49:[2,#BI]@1La Rouque, Frederick@2(Marc Alaimo). Professional gambler from the city of New Orleans on 19th-century Earth. La Rouque welcomed Commander Data to his poker game and provided Data with a stake in exchange for his communicator. (“Time's Arrow, Part I” [TNG]) Marc Alaimo played several other roles, including Gul Dukat.

~1:[2,#B],46:[2,#B],50:[1,#B]@1lacunar amnesia@2Type of amnesia that occurs when a patient witnesses an act of violence so terrible that the patient rejects the reality of the situation. Dr. McCoy's preliminary diagnosis included lacunar amnesia when assessing the lack of grief shown by the children of the Starnes Expedition on planet Triacus for the death of their parents in 2268. (“And the Children Shall Lead” [TOS]).

Note that the name “Lal” is from the episode script only and was not actually spoken in the aired episode.
~1:[1,#B],6:[1,#B],8:[1,#B],15:[1,#I],22:[2,#B],91:[2,#B],102:[2,#B],106:[2,#B],225:[21,#I]@1Lal@2(Hallie Todd). Daughter to Data, a Soong-type android constructed by Data aboard the Enterprise -D in 2366. Lal had a positronic brain onto which Data replicated much of his own neural pathways. Initially built with a featureless humanoid body, Lal chose to assume the form of a human female. Despite the fact that both Lal and Data shared the same basic programming, Lal's behavioral programs quickly exceeded those of her father, thus demonstrating her ability to learn and grow. Lal became the focus of a heated custody battle when Admiral Haftel attempted to order Data to release Lal to the Daystrom Institute annex on Galor IV. Haftel, recognizing the extraordinary value of a new Soong-type android, believed it imperative that Lal be studied in a controlled environment under the guidance of cybernetics specialists. Data took considerable exception to this view, believing it his responsibility, as a parent, to care for the new life-form that he had created. The question became moot when Lal experienced a fatal systemwide cascade failure after having lived only a little over two weeks. During that brief time, Lal's positronic networks grew to the point where she was able to experience emotions, love for her father, and sadness at her own impending death. The name, Lal, chosen by Data for his child, is Hindi for “beloved.” (“The Offspring” [TNG]). The initial, featureless version of Lal was played by Leonard J. Crowfoot, who had previously played Trent in “Angel One” (TNG).
~1:[2,#BI],5:[1,#I],29:[3,#B],35:[2,#B],45:[1,#I],55:[1,#B]@1Lalo, U.S.S.@2Federation starship, Mediterranean class, registry number NCC-43837. The Lalo was a freighter that reported a “hiccough” in time that was found to be the result of Dr. Paul Manheim's time/gravity experiments at Vandor IX in 2364. (“We'll Always Have Paris” [TNG]). The Lalo was lost in late 2366 after apparently encountering a Borg ship near Zeta Alpha II. (“The Best of Both Worlds, Part I” [TNG]).
~1: [2, #b], 32: [1, #bi]@1Lambda Paz@2One of the moons of planet Pentarus III. Lambda Paz was barely class-M, with extreme desert conditions and a mean surface temperature of fifty-five degrees Celsius.

~1:[2,#B],62:[2,#B]@1landing party@2A specialized team of starship personnel assigned to a particular mission, usually on a planet. Landing party assignments were generally at the captain's discretion, but were often composed of a senior officer, mission specialists (such as a science officer), and one or more security personnel. The term landing party has since been replaced by Starfleet with the more generic away team.
~1:[3,#B],11:[2,#I],33:[3,#B],44:[1,#I],57:[1,#B]@1Landon, Yeoman Martha@2(Celeste Yarnall). Crew member on the original U.S.S. Enterprise. In 2267, Yeoman Landon and Ensign Pavel Chekov were attracted to each other when assigned to the landing party on Gamma Trianguli VI. The inhabitants noticed their affection, and told the Enterprise personnel that touching and similar intimate behavior was forbidden by their god, Vaal. (“The Apple” [TOS]).
~1:[2,#B],37:[3,#B],42:[1,#I]@1Landris II@2Planet where Dr. Mowray conducted archaeological research in 2369. Captain Picard had wanted to communicate with Mowray on stardate 46693, but was unable to establish contact due to a communications blackout requested by the Stellar Cartography Department on the Enterprise -D. (“Lessons” [TNG]).

Leader of planet Beta III some 6,000 years ago when that world was plagued with war and destruction. Landru changed that by preaching truth and peace, taking his population back to a simpler time. Before his death, Landru programmed a computer to continue his leadership. The news of Landru's death was kept from the people, and the computer, also called Landru, governed in his stead. The computer judged society by its own definition of perfection and harmony, forcing everyone to act the same and become part of a common Body of people. Under the computer's control, the Beta III society became increasingly aberrant, but those who resisted conformity were forced to be absorbed or killed. The computer Landru was deactivated in 2267 by Kirk and Spock as they convinced the machine it was killing the Body by promoting stagnation, it was acting against the original Landru's directive to act for the good of the people. (“Return of the Archons” [TOS]). SEE: Archon, U.S.S.; Lawgivers. Charles Macaulay also played Prefect Jarvis in “Wolf in the Fold” (TOS).
~1:[1,#B],8:[3,#B],34:[9,#I]@1Lanel@2(Bebe Neuwirth). A nurse at the Sikla Medical Facility on planet Malcor III.

Isao Telaka, normal crew complement of 26. The ship was equipped with class-3 defensive armaments. The Lantree's crew was killed in 2365 after being exposed to a group of genetically engineered human children whose immune systems actively sought out and attacked potential sources of disease, including the Lantree crew. The U.S.S. Lantree was destroyed by a single photon torpedo fired by the U.S.S. Enterprise -D in order to prevent further transmission of the deadly antibodies. (“Unnatural Selection” [TNG]). The Lantree was a minor modification of the U.S.S. Reliant model originally built for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The Reliant's upper “roll bar” was removed to turn it into the Lantree. The Lantree bridge (seen briefly in a screen readout) was a redress of the Enterprise -D battle bridge.

This passage was extremely dangerous because contact between the two continua would theoretically result in the total annihilation of both universes. Lazarus was mentally unstable and exhibited symptoms of severe paranoia. He believed that his alternate self from the other universe wanted to kill him. Fortunately, the alternate Lazarus was more stable, and sacrificed himself to trap the insane Lazarus in the interdimensional corridor. As a result, both universes were made safe, but both Lazaruses are at each other's throats for eternity. (“The Alternative Factor” [TOS]).

She helped Commander La Forge modify the transporter system while Captain Picard was trapped on planet El-Adrel IV in 2368. (“Darmok” [TNG]). Lefler was promoted to mission specialist a few months later, and worked on optimizing sensor usage for a survey of the Phoenix Cluster. Lefler befriended Wesley Crusher, who visited the Enterprise -D during that mission, and the two were instrumental in helping the crew repel an attempted takeover by a Ktarian operative. SEE: Jol, Etana; Ktarian game. Lefler was the child of two Starfleet plasma specialists. She traveled a great deal as a child, and made few friends her own age.

The final negotiations took place aboard the Enterprise -D in orbit above Legara IV. Preparations for those talks were extensive, and included the construction of a special pool filled with a viscous fluid for the Legarans' comfort. Federation authorities expected the benefits of relations with the Legarans to be incalculable. (“Sarek” [TNG]). SEE: Bendii Syndrome.

It was later revealed that all five away-team members were infected by an alien DNA strand that compelled them all to return to Tarchannen III five years later. This alien DNA transformed three of the former Victory crew members into Tarchannen life-forms, a fate that Leijten and La Forge only narrowly escaped. (“Identity Crisis” [TNG]).
