1:[1,#B],37:[2,#B],47:[2,#B],52:[23,#I]@1Ruth@2(Maggie Thrett). One of Mudd's women. Ruth had long black hair and had lived on a pelagic planet with sea ranchers before being recruited by Harry Mudd as a wife for a settler on planet Ophiucus III. Ruth instead married one of the miners on Rigel XII. (“Mudd's Women” [TOS]). Ruth's last name was never mentioned in the aired version but a final draft script of the episode listed her as Ruth Bonaventure.
~1:[1,#B],26:[3,#B],44:[10,#I]@1Ruth@2(Shirley Bonne). Attractive woman who was romantically involved with James Kirk in 2252 during his Academy days. A re-creation of Ruth appeared on the amusement park planet in 2267, looking just as Kirk had remembered her 15 years ago. (“Shore Leave” [TOS]). Ruth was not given a last name in the episode.
~1:[2,#B],33:[1,#B],90:[2,#B],99:[1,#I]@1Rutia IV@2A politically neutral class-M planet that enjoyed a long trading relationship with the Federation. Although the planet's population was united under a single planetary government, a dissident group called the Ansata on the western continent sought political independence in 2296. This bid was denied by the Rutian government, and the Ansata began a long terrorist struggle to gain recognition of their plight. Although the Ansata were only believed to number about 200 members, they were successful in causing significant disruption of Rutian society. In 2366, Ansata leader Kyril Finn led an apparently futile attack against the Enterprise -D, a successful attempt to gain Federation involvement in their fight. (“The High Ground” [TNG]).
~1:[3,#B],12:[2,#B]@1Rutian archaeological vessel@2The only vessel reported in range of the Dulisian IV colony when it transmitted a distress call in 2368. (“Unification, Part II” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],5:[2,#B]@1Rutians@2The inhabitants of Rutia IV, humanoid in appearance. Rutian males are marked by a distinctive white streak of hair; females are generally red-haired. (“The High Ground” [TNG])
~1:[2,#BI],7:[3,#B],18:[1,#B],20:[1,#I],24:[2,#B],29:[1,#I],34:[1,#I],45:[2,#B]@1Rutledge, U.S.S.@2Federation starship, commanded by Captain Benjamin Maxwell during the war between the Federation and the Cardassians. Future Enterprise -D crew member Miles O'Brien served aboard the Rutledge as tactical officer. The Rutledge responded to a Cardassian attack on the Federation outpost at Setlik III, but was too late to prevent the massacre. (“The Wounded” [TNG]).
~1: [1, #bi], 15: [1, #b], 18: [1, #i], 21: [2, #b]@1R'uustai@2Klingon ceremony in which two individuals bond together to become brothers or sisters. Worf performed the R'uustai with young Jeremy Aster after Aster's mother died under Worf's command in 2366. The rite itself is resplendent in Klingon custom and involves the lighting of ceremonial candles and the wearing of warrior's sashes, concluding with a Klingon intonation honoring their mothers. (“The Bonding” [TNG]).
~1: [2, #b], 40: [2, #i], 45: [3, #b], 52: [1, #i], 128: [10, #i]@1rybo-viroxic-nucleic structure@2Long organic compound that is one of the key factors in development during puberty of many humanoids. As such life-forms grow older, RVN takes on additional viroxic sequences. When Captain Picard and the other members of the Shuttlecraft Fermi passed through a molecular reversion field while returning to the Enterprise -D on stardate 46235, O'Brien had difficulty getting a transporter lock on the crew because the field was masking part of their patterns. The transporter therefore only registered part of the RVN patterns, leaving off key sequences, and thus, the shuttle's crew was transformed to children. A record of the shuttle crew's RVN patterns was in the transporter pattern buffer, making it possible to restore the lost viroxic sequences during the transport process. (“Rascals” [TNG]). Yeah, well, we don't think it makes much sense, either.
~1:[1,#B],18:[2,#I],43:[1,#B]@1ryetalyn@2Mineral substance needed to cure the deadly disease, Rigelian fever, that infected the crew of the Starship Enterprise in 2269. A deposit of ryetalyn was found on a small planetoid in the Omega system which belonged to the very ancient humanoid Flint. (“Requiem for Methuselah” [TOS]).
