Deputy Fuhrer in the Nazi-style government on planet Ekos who seized power from planetary leader John Gill. The ambitious Melakon subverted Gill's efforts to create an efficient, compassionate government, instead creating a close copy of Earth's brutal Nazi Germany. Melakon was responsible for the policy of genocide against the Zeons in 2268, just before the collapse of the Gill regime. (“Patterns of Force” [TOS]). Skip Homeier also played Dr. Sevrin in “The Way to Eden” (TOS).

The Melbourne was stationed at Starbase 74 in 2364 when the Bynars hijacked the Enterprise -D, but was unable to give chase because of maintenance in progress. (“11001001” [TNG]). Commander William Riker was offered command of the U.S.S. Melbourne in late 2366, but he declined the promotion, preferring to remain Executive Officer on the Enterprise -D. (“The Best of Both Worlds, Part I” [TNG]). Shortly thereafter, the Melbourne was one of 39 Federation starships destroyed by the Borg in the battle of Wolf 359. (“The Best of Both Worlds, Part II” [TNG]). The U.S.S. Melbourne takes its name from the Australian city. There were actually two Starships Melbourne used in these episodes. The first was a Nebula -class model, barely glimpsed as a wrecked hulk in the spaceship graveyard from “The Best of Both Worlds, Part II” (TNG). When the scene was redone three years later for “Emissary” (DS9), a decision was made to instead use the more detailed U.S.S. Excelsior model originally built for Star Trek III. Both models were given the same Starfleet registry number, but since the Excelsior version was seen fairly clearly on screen, and the Nebula version was not seen well, we now assume that the Melbourne “really” was an Excelsior -class ship.

The Melkotians spurned, by the use of an orbiting warning buoy, the Enterprise's initial contact overtures. When Enterprise captain Kirk ignored the Melkotian warning, the aliens subjected Kirk and company to an elaborate charade in which images from Kirk's memory were intended to be the devices of their deaths. The Melkotians' drama took the form of the famous gunfight at the OK Corral at Tombstone, Arizona, on October 26, 1881, between the Earps and the Clantons, a fight that the Clantons lost. Kirk and members of his Enterprise crew were to fill their shoes, but managed to avoid death in the legendary gun battle. Kirk was later successful in opening diplomatic relations with the reclusive Melkotians. (“Spectre of the Gun” [TOS]). They were also referred to as the Melkots.

The presence of the belt complicated the Enterprise -D's efforts to dispose of an ancient vessel that was causing radiation contamination of the Gamelan atmosphere. The Enterprise -D was forced to tow the contaminated barge through the Meltasion belt, exposing the crew of the Enterprise -D to a near lethal amount of radiation. (“Final Mission” [TNG]).

Romulan officer in command of the Warbird Devoras when it met the Enterprise -D inside the Romulan Neutral Zone in 2367. The rendezvous was slated to be the beginning of negotiations between the Federation, represented by Ambassador T'Pel, and the Romulans. However, Mendak's true purpose was to enable T'Pel, in reality a Romulan operative named Subcommander Selok, to escape into Romulan hands. (“Data's Day” [TNG]).

As is a characteristic of his people, Mendon had bluish-green skin and breathed with the assistance of a respiration device. Mendon was something of an overachiever by human standards, causing some initial friction with the Enterprise -D crew when he served aboard that ship as part of an officer exchange program in 2365, but he soon adapted to Starfleet social norms. Wesley Crusher once mistook Mendon for Mordoc, another Benzite, but Mendon explained that they were both from the same geostructure, and therefore looked alike to non-Benzites.

The final battle in this conflict was held at planet Orelious IX, resulting in the extinction of both species and the destruction of Orelious IX. The Menthars were believed to be very innovative in battle: they were the first to develop the Kavis Teke elusive maneuver, and had a passive lure stratagem comparable to Napoleon's. The Menthars also developed and deployed aceton assimilators, devices that trapped not only the Cleponji, but worked well enough to trap the Enterprise -D a millennium after their final battle.

The Merchantman, along with its crew and Valkris, was destroyed after delivery of the information. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock). The Merchantman was never referred to by name during the film. The name is from the script only. The Merchantman model, designed by Nilo Rodis and built at ILM for Star Trek III, was reused several times as various “guest” spaceships in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Beagle that disappeared in star system 892 in the year 2261. James Kirk had known Merrick at Starfleet Academy when he was expelled in his fifth year after failing a psychosimulator test. (Note that Starfleet Academy was established in later episodes as being a four-year institution.) Merrick then went into the merchant service and eventually became captain of the S.S. Beagle. After his ship was damaged by meteors, Merrick and several of his crew beamed down to planet 892-IV in search of supplies and met Claudius Marcus. Merrick elected to stay on the planet, becoming Merikus, First Citizen of the Roman culture. As Merikus, he became a political strongman and was known as The Butcher to the slaves he persecuted. Six years later, an Enterprise landing party located him, and he was killed by Marcus when helping the Enterprise people escape. SEE: 892, Planet IV. (“Bread and Circuses” [TOS]).

The Merrimack transported Cadet Wesley Crusher back to Starfleet Academy following his vacation aboard the Enterprise -D in 2368. (“The Game” [TNG]).

These viruses could mutate rapidly and were believed able to destroy entire ecosystems within days. After thirty days the metagenic agent itself died, having destroying all biological life on a planetary scale, while leaving all the technological aspects of a culture intact. Because of the extreme danger of these weapons, treaties were established to ban their use and all of the major powers of the period, including the Federation, the Ferengi, and the Romulans agreed to the ban. In 2369, Starfleet Intelligence was the victim of Cardassian disinformation suggesting that the Cardassians were developing metagenic toxins. Starfleet also believed that the Cardassians had discovered a new method to deliver the toxins in a dormant state on a theta-band subspace carrier wave. (“Chain of Command, Part I” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],13:[2,#B],46:[1,#I],118:[1,#B]@1metaphasic shield@2Revolutionary new shielding technology developed in 2369 by Ferengi scientist Dr. Reyga. The system involved the generation of overlapping low-level subspace fields, causing an object within the fields to exist partially in subspace. The technology was first tested in 2369 by sending an Enterprise -D shuttlecraft into a star's corona. The initial test was deemed unsuccessful, but further investigation revealed that sabotage of the metaphasic field had caused the failure. The pilot of the craft was discovered to have perpetrated the sabotage, in the hopes of discrediting Dr. Reyga in order to steal the technology. Dr. Beverly Crusher then piloted the shuttlecraft into the corona herself, thereby proving that the technology worked. (“Suspicions” [TNG]). SEE: Jo'Bril.

The Metrons intervened in a conflict between the original Enterprise and a Gorn ship in 2267. The two ships had been involved in a territorial dispute over planet Cestus III. Seeking to avoid unnecessary unpleasantness in their space, the Metrons sent Enterprise captain Kirk and the Gorn ship commander to an artificial planetoid, where they were expected to fight to the death. Kirk won the fight, but declined to kill his opponent, prompting the Metrons to reevaluate their opinion of humankind. A Metron representative said they had not expected Kirk to demonstrate the advanced trait of mercy, and said that they were so impressed they might wish to contact the Federation in just a few thousand years.

The life-form was named “microbrain” by Enterprise -D personnel investigating the now-defunct Federation terraforming station on the planet. The terraforming project on Velara III threatened the lives of these entities by altering the subsurface water table. (“Home Soil” [TNG]).
