1:[1,#B],8:[2,#B],17:[2,#B],54:[20,#I]@1Lethe@2(Susanne Wasson). An inmate at the Tantalus V penal colony in 2266. Assistant colony director Tristan Adams used Lethe as an example of the success of his experimental neural neutralizer device, but her blank, expressionless demeanor suggested that the neutralizer was erasing more than her criminal tendencies. (“Dagger of the Mind” [TOS]). In Greek mythology, Lethe was a river in Hades whose water, when drunk, would cause one to forget earthly sorrows.

Leyor reached an agreement with Devinoni Ral, representative for the Chrysalians, in which Caldonia would withdraw from the negotiations.
Leyor had been manipulated into making the agreement by Ral, who was secretly using his Betazoid empathic sense to take advantage of the Caldonian's own emotions. (“The Price” [TNG]). The late Kevin Peter Hall also played the creature from Predator, and was Harry in Harry and the Hendersons.

SEE: humanoid life.
~1:[3,#B],11:[1,#B],55:[1,#I]@1Life Prolongation Project@2A disastrous experiment conducted around 1966 on Miri's planet. The goal of the project was to develop a virus that would dramatically slow the aging process in humans. Unfortunately, the resulting virus killed all the adults on the planet, leaving the children to grow very slowly until they died at puberty. Enterprise chief medical officer Leonard McCoy was successful in developing an antitoxin to treat the virus in the remaining children found living on the planet in 2266. (“Miri” [TOS]).
~1:[3,#B],8:[2,#B],44:[1,#I],63:[13,#I]@1light-speed breakaway factor@2Also known as the slingshot effect, a warp-speed maneuver used to propel a starship through time. This procedure involves close passage to a massive gravitational source (like a star) at a high warp velocity. It was used to propel the Enterprise back in time from 2268 to the year 1968 on a mission of historical research. (“Assignment: Earth” [TOS]). This was presumably the same technique used in “Tomorrow Is Yesterday” (TOS) and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

~1: [1, #b], 36: [1, #i], 74: [1, #i]@1Liko@2(Ray Wise). An inhabitant of planet Mintaka III who chanced to witness the failure of a Federation survey team's hologram generator. Liko was injured as a result of the failure, and taken aboard the Enterprise -D for treatment, exposing him to advanced technology in violation of the Prime Directive. Efforts to erase his short-term memory were unsuccessful, and Liko returned to the surface with a complete memory of his visit to the Enterprise -D and a mistaken idea that Captain Picard was the Mintakan “Overseer” or God. Liko related his experiences to the other Mintakans, furthering the cultural contamination and complicating the rescue of the Federation scientist, Dr. Palmer. Liko held the irrational hope that “The Picard” would bring his wife, who had died in a flood the previous year, back to life. Liko shot Captain Picard with an arrow, wounding Picard and convincing Liko of Picard's mortality. (“Who Watches the Watchers?” [TNG]).
~1:[3,#B],19:[1,#I],30:[1,#B]@1Lima Sierra system@2A star system whose planetary orbits seem anomalous in terms of conventional celestial mechanics.

Sixteenth president of Earth's United States (1809-1865), considered by many Earth historians to have been the greatest American leader. Lincoln was a hero to Enterprise captain James T. Kirk, who was fascinated in 2269 when the Excalbians sent a replica of Lincoln to visit Kirk on the Enterprise. The re-created Lincoln was part of an Excalbian experiment designed to study the human concept of “good” and “evil.” (“The Savage Curtain” [TOS]).
~1:[2,#B],75:[1,#B]@1Lincoln, Roberta@2(Teri Garr). Human inhabitant of planet Earth in 1968 who unknowingly became employed by extraterrestrial agents who worked covertly to help Earth survive its critical Nuclear Age. Lincoln worked with Agents 347 and 201 at 811 East 68th Street, Apartment 12B, in New York City on Earth. Later, when she learned of the extraterrestrial nature of her employers, she continued to work for Gary Seven at the same address, although she found Isis somewhat disconcerting. (“Assignment: Earth” [TOS]).
~1:[1,#B],4:[1,#I],14:[2,#B],55:[1,#B]@1Lindstrom@2(Christopher Held). Enterprise sociologist and member of the landing party to planet Beta III in 2267. Lindstrom studied the planet's society, helping to unravel the mystery of the culture's unusual behavior. He later stayed behind on the planet to help the population establish an independent society after the deactivation of the planetary computer, Landru, which had controlled them for millennia. (“Return of the Archons” [TOS]).

Unlike normal encryption, which serves to conceal information, Linguacode was designed to make a message more accessible to a wide range of life-forms. Linguacode is sometimes used in first-contact situations such as those with V'Ger or Tin Man to transmit initial greetings and friendship messages. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture).
~1:[2,#B],9:[2,#B],18:[1,#B],26:[3,#B]@1Linke, Dr.@2(Jason Wingreen). Scientist stationed on planet Minara II in 2268 who was killed by the Vians while studying the impending nova of the Minaran Star System. (“The Empath” [TOS]).

Lithium in a form resembling crystalline quartz was a critical component of warp- drive systems in early starships. Lithium suitable for such use was an extremely rare and valuable commodity, requiring an energy-intensive “cracking” process. (“Where No Man Has Gone Before” [TOS]). Starships were rarely able to carry many spare crystals, meaning that any damage or burnout to a ship's crystals was a serious problem. (“Mudd's Women” [TOS]). Lithium crystals were used in the Enterprise's engines during the first few episodes of the Original Series. At the suggestion of Star Trek scientific advisor Harvey Lynn, lithium was changed to dilithium because lithium is a real element with known properties, while the imaginary dilithium could be endowed by Star Trek's writers with extraordinary qualities not yet known to science, making warp drive possible in the Star Trek universe.
~1: [2, #b], 12: [2, #b]@1Little John@2 (Jonathan Frakes). In Earth mythology, the trusted lieutenant of Robin Hood in ancient England. Q cast Commander Riker in this role in an elaborate fantasy he crafted to teach Captain Picard a lesson. (“QPid” [TNG]).

L'Kor was spared death by Romulans who did not wish to murder helpless victims, and was incarcerated at the Romulan prison camp in the Carraya System. In the years that followed, L'Kor became a leader among the Klingon prisoners. (“Birthright, Parts I and II” [TNG]).
~1:[5,#B],13:[2,#B],23:[2,#B],33:[2,#B],95:[8,#I]@1Locarno, Cadet First Class Nicholas@2(Robert Duncan McNeill). Leader of Starfleet Academy's Nova Squadron in 2368 when the team attempted the hazardous Kolvoord Starburst for that year's commencement ceremonies. Nova Squadron member Joshua Albert was killed in a serious accident during the maneuver. The charismatic Locarno persuaded his team to conceal the fact that they had been attempting a maneuver that had been banned by the Academy for nearly a century. When the truth was eventually revealed at an Academy investigation, Locarno accepted responsibility for Albert's death, and was expelled. (“The First Duty” [TNG]). Robert Duncan McNeill later played Tom Paris on Star Trek: Voyager.

The locator bomb used sensors designed to lock on to the target's pheromones. In 2369, Quark's brother Rom and Zek's son, Krax, used a locator bomb in an attempt to assassinate Quark during his brief tenure as Grand Nagus. (“The Nagus” [DS9]).
~1:[2,#B],6:[1,#I],24:[1,#I],32:[2,#B]@1Locklin, Ensign@2Member of the Enterprise -D's transporter crew. In 2367 she was the last person to use a transporter prior to the Enterprise -D's encounter with a wormhole in the Ngame Nebula. (“Clues” [TNG]).
~1: [3, #b], 6: [1, #b], 13: [2, #b], 105: [1, #i], 138: [10, #i]@1Locutus of Borg@2(Patrick Stewart). Borg leader created by the assimilation of Jean-Luc Picard into the Borg consciousness in 2366. Although the concept of a Borg leader was, at the time, almost a contradiction in terms, Locutus was intended to provide a voice for the Borg, as part of a Borg plan to assimilate the Federation. With Picard's mind in the Borg collective consciousness, the powerful adversary had access to all of Picard's knowledge and experience, making him partially responsible for the massive Federation defeat at the battle of Wolf 359. But the access proved to be two-way. The capture of Locutus by the Enterprise -D personnel gave them access to the Borg collective consciousness and they were able to defeat the Borg by exploiting this access. (“The Best of Both Worlds, Parts I and II” [TNG]). Locutus was also featured in flashback scenes in “Emissary” (DS9).

~1: [3, #b], 10: [2, #i], 44: [17, #i]@1Logan, Chief Engineer@2(Vyto Ruginis). Chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise -D in late 2364. Logan expressed concern at Geordi La Forge's relative inexperience when La Forge was temporarily placed in command of the ship at planet Minos. (“The Arsenal of Freedom” [TNG]). Ironically, Logan was replaced as chief engineer by La Forge the following year in “The Child” (TNG).

~1:[1,#B],9:[1,#B],52:[1,#B]@1Lokai@2(Lou Antonio). Accused criminal from the planet Cheron who fled his planet's authorities across interstellar space for 50,000 years. Lokai claimed he was the victim of racial persecution because his skin coloration was different from those from Cheron who called themselves the “master race.” Lokai was finally captured by Commissioner Bele in 2268. Upon returning to their homeworld, they found that racial hatred had destroyed their society, leaving no survivors. (“Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” [TOS])

~1:[2,#B],40:[63,#I]@1London, Jack@2(Michael Aron). Early 20th-century American writer (1876-1916). Prior to becoming a popular writer, London worked as a bellboy at the 19th-century San Francisco hotel where Commander Data took up lodging. (“Time's Arrow, Parts I and II” [TNG]).
The real Jack London was born in 1876, in San Francisco. He spent part of his youth as an oyster pirate before leaving for the Klondike in 1897. While we have no evidence to support this, it is possible that Jack London was working as a bellboy in 1893, where he may have met an unusual “albino” customer with an affinity for poker.

An alien replica of Picard, placed on the Enterprise -D in 2366 by unknown aliens to study the nature of authority, ordered the ship to approach the Lonka Pulsar too closely for safety, leading Riker to suspect the substitution. (“Allegiance” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],3:[1,#I]@1Lopez, Ensign@2Enterprise -D security division crew member. Worf snapped at him because he felt Lopez had improperly prepared a duty roster, but Worf was just upset about having learned the possibility that his father might have been captured by Romulans at Khitomer. (“Birthright, Part I” [TNG]).
~1: [5, #b], 15: [2, #b]@1Lord High Sheriff of Nottingham@2(John de Lancie). In Earth mythology, the nemesis of Robin Hood in ancient England. Q cast himself in this role in 2367 during an elaborate fantasy he crafted to teach Picard about the nature of love. (“QPid” [TNG]).

A highly sophisticated humanoid android built by noted cyberneticist Dr. Noonien Soong at his laboratory on planet Omicron Theta. Lore was almost identical in physical design to the android Data (also built by Soong), but had more human emotional responses built into his programming. Lore was activated around 2336, but was shut down by Soong shortly afterward because the colonists at Omicron Theta viewed Lore as a threat. Lore was responsible for luring the malevolent Crystalline Entity to Omicron Theta, resulting in the death of all the colonists there. Lore remained dormant until 2364 when his components were discovered by an away team from the Enterprise -D. Upon his reactivation, Lore exhibited manipulative and sadistic behavior and was eventually beamed into space when he attempted to gain control of the ship. (“Datalore” [TNG]). Lore drifted in space for nearly two years before he was rescued by a passing Pakled ship. In 2367, Lore responded to a call sent by Dr. Noonien Soong, intended to summon Data to Soong's new secret laboratory. Soong had intended to install a new chip in Data's brain to give the android the ability to experience human emotions. Arriving at Soong's laboratory at the same time as Data, Lore stole the new chip by masquerading as Data. Soong died shortly thereafter, and Lore escaped before Enterprise -D personnel could apprehend him. (“Brothers” [TNG]). Lore later encountered a Borg group wandering aimlessly in space. The Borg were experiencing individuality as a result of Hugh's reintroduction into the collective, and were unable to cope with the experience. Lore seized on the situation and appointed himself as leader of the Borg. He promised to re-create them in his own image, that of a completely artificial life-form. The Borg willingly followed Lore, attacking his enemies, capturing his brother, Data, and also sacrificing themselves to his medical experiments. A small group of Borg, led by Hugh, suspected that Lore was incapable of fulfilling his promise, and were angered at the suffering Lore was inflicting on his experimental subjects. This dissident group of Borg, aided by Enterprise -D personnel, overthrew Lore by force. Shortly thereafter, Lore was deactivated by his brother, Data. The emotion chip designed by Soong was removed from Lore's body before it was dismantled. (“Descent, Parts I and II” [TNG]). Lore first appeared in “Datalore” (TNG).

Louis undertook a career in hydroponics, but by 2367, he was a supervisor on the Atlantis Project. Jean-Luc Picard found this very amusing because his friend was a horrible swimmer in their youth, but now worked on the ocean floor. (“Family” [TNG]).
~1:[3,#B],22:[2,#BI],39:[1,#I],70:[3,#B],86:[1,#B]@1Louvois, Captain Phillipa@2(Amanda McBroom). Starfleet legal officer who prosecuted Jean-Luc Picard in the court-martial proceedings following the loss of the U.S.S. Stargazer in 2355. Although Picard and Louvois had been romantically involved prior to that time, the Stargazer trial ended that relationship. Louvois left Starfleet thereafter. The two did not see each other again until 2365, when Louvois, having returned to Starfleet as head of the Sector 23 Judge Advocate General's office, presided over the precedent-setting case in which she ruled that the android Data was entitled to full constitutional rights and was not the property of Starfleet. (“The Measure of a Man” [TNG]).
~1: [3, #b], 18: [2, #b]@1love poetry, Klingon@2Worf recommended reading love poetry as a means of luring a potential mate when Wesley Crusher was attracted to Salia of planet Daled IV. Worf noted that in response, a Klingon woman might be expected to roar, throw heavy objects, and claw at her mate. He expressed disdain for human males, describing their courtship rituals as “begging.” (“The Dauphin” [TNG]). Worf once claimed that the art of love poetry reached its fullest flower among the Klingons. (“Up the Long Ladder” [TNG]).
