It served in Picard's armada to blockade Romulan supply ships supplying the Duras family forces during the Klingon civil war of 2367. (“Redemption, Part II” [TNG]). The Tian An Men was named in honor of those who died in the cause of Chinese freedom, much as the present-day U.S. Navy had a U.S.S. Lexington whose name celebrates the first battle in the American war for independence.

Timicin spent many years trying to develop a technique whereby the life of his world's dying sun might be extended. Timicin worked aboard the Enterprise -D in 2367 to conduct a helium ignition test on a red giant star in the Praxillus system. Although the experiment failed, Timicin was prepared to return to Kaelon II for his Resolution, the end of his life under Kaelon tradition. But upon further review, Timicin became convinced that he could solve the problems and sought asylum aboard the Enterprise -D so he could continue his work. Timicin's requests provoked a diplomatic incident. Timicin withdrew his request for asylum and returned to Kaelon II, where his Resolution was carried out as planned. He was accompanied to the planet's surface by Lwaxana Troi. (“Half a Life” [TNG]). One of the computer readouts studied by Timicin in Engineering bore the numeric code 4077, a salute to David Ogden Stiers' work in the television series M*A*S*H.

A ten-year-old human boy who was the sole survivor of the research vessel S.S. Vico when it was destroyed by gravitational wavefronts in the Black Cluster in 2368. Timothy's mother was the ship's system engineer, and his father was the ship's second officer. Unable to deal with the tremendous shock of his loss, Timothy chose to emulate Commander Data, who had rescued him from the Vico. As an android, Timothy would feel no fear or sadness and would not have to deal with the loss of his family. Timothy felt somehow responsible for the destruction of the Vico. He hid his sense of guilt by telling the crew of the Enterprise -D that the ship had been attacked by mysterious aliens. When Timothy finally came to terms with the loss of his family and friends, his recollections of events aboard the Vico were instrumental in helping the Enterprise -D escape the same fate. (“Hero Worship” [TNG]). Timothy's last name was not given in the episode. SEE: Black Cluster.

Romulan officer who was reluctant to execute nearly a hundred Klingon prisoners after the infamous Khitomer massacre of 2346. Tokath sacrificed his military career to establish a secret prison camp in the Carraya System where these prisoners were allowed to live out their lives. At the camp, Tokath took a Klingon woman, Gi'ral, as his wife, and they had a daughter named Ba'el. The sanctity of Tokath's prison was nearly shattered in 2369 when Worf discovered its existence and tried to free the Klingon prisoners, not realizing that they had long ago grown to regard it as their home. Tokath allowed a compromise whereby several children of prisoners were allowed to leave as long as they promised to keep the existence of the camp a secret. (“Birthright, Parts I and II” [TNG]).

Tomalak denied that the scoutship was doing anything improper in Federation space, claiming that the Pi had suffered a navigational failure. (“The Enemy” [TNG]). Tomalak next encountered the Enterprise -D when the Federation ship illegally entered the Neutral Zone to investigate reports of a secret Romulan base at Nelvana III. The reports were a trick, and Tomalak had prepared a welcoming committee of two Warbirds to attempt to capture the Enterprise -D. (“The Defector” [TNG]). A fantasy version of Tomalak was encountered by Riker in 2367 during a virtual reality engineered by Barash on Alpha Onias III. In this fantasy, Tomalak was a Romulan ambassador on a peace mission to the Federation. (“Future Imperfect” [TNG]). Andreas Katsulas also played Ambassador G'Kar in Babylon 5.

Thousands of Federation lives were lost in this incident, and the Romulans thereafter entered an extended period of isolationism, during which there was no contact at all between the two powers. The isolationist period lasted until 2364. (“The Neutral Zone” [TNG]). Later episodes established several contacts between the Klingons and the Romulans between 2311 and 2364, even though this seems somewhat inconsistent with “The Neutral Zone”.

Because of the extended nature of the mission, the entire crew spent most of the transit time in hibernation. The return of the ship to Klingon space in 2365 was a matter of concern because the ship had been launched in an era when the two respective governments were at war. It was feared that the crew of the T'Ong would believe that a state of war still existed, and that they might therefore attack the first Federation ship they encountered. Federation emissary K'Ehleyr helped avert such a crisis by working with Enterprise -D security chief Worf to gain command of the T'Ong before any hostilities could occur. (“The Emissary” [TNG]). The T'Ong was a re-use of Klingon battle cruiser footage originally produced for Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

(“Friday's Child” [TOS]).
~1:[1,#B],14:[1,#B],24:[2,#B]@1Toq@2(Sterling Macer). Child of Klingon warriors captured by Romulans in 2346 at Khitomer. Raised at the secret Romulan prison camp in the Carraya System, Toq had little exposure to Klingon culture until Worf visited the camp in 2369. Inspired by Worf's teachings of Klingon culture, Toq left the camp with Worf in order to join mainstream Klingon society. In doing so, Toq promised to keep the existence of the camp a secret.

Torak was reluctant to investigate Picard's charges that Morag, a Klingon officer, might have been responsible for the murder of Lieutenant Keith Rocha at Relay Station 47 in 2369, but agreed to do so upon learning that Picard was Gowron's Arbiter of Succession. Torak was later able to prove Morag's innocence, but allowed Morag to be taken into Federation custody for theft of encoded data from Relay Station 47. (“Aquiel” [TNG]).

In 2367, Duras family members Lursa and B'Etor launched a bid for young Toral to succeed the late K'Mpec as council leader. (“Redemption, Part I” [TNG]). Jean-Luc Picard, as Arbiter of Succession, ruled that Toral was not entitled to his late father's council position, since Toral had not yet distinguished himself in the service of the Empire. Following the victory of Gowron against Duras family forces in the Klingon civil war of 2368, Toral's life was forfeit because his father and grandfather had wrongfully dishonored the family of Mogh. Worf, eldest son of Mogh, nevertheless declined to demand Toral's death, much to the surprise of Gowron and the council. (“Redemption, Parts I and II” [TNG]).

The collective name Tosk stood for beings bred and trained to be the tracked by the Hunters. Requiring only seventeen minutes of sleep per rotation and storing liquid nutrients in plastic fibers throughout his body, Tosk was completely self-sufficient. Brought aboard the station after his craft was damaged, he formed a friendship with Chief Miles O'Brien. Hampered by a code of silence, Tosk could not communicate his role as the hunted, even when the Hunters descended upon the station to take him back to their planet in disgrace. O'Brien disobeyed orders and the Prime Directive by allowing Tosk to escape, thus continuing the hunt and fulfilling his friend's deepest wish; the chance to die with honor.

The Tox Uthat was a palm-sized crystal capable of halting all nuclear reactions within a star. Fearing the device would be stolen, Dano fled to the 22nd century, where he hid the device on planet Risa. The Uthat became something of a holy grail to criminals from the 27th century who traveled back in time to find the object, and for 24th-century archaeologists, who believed that the legends of the Uthat had a basis in fact. These included Dr. Samuel Estragon, who spent half of his life in search of the Uthat. Upon his death in 2366, his assistant Vash was successful in finding the device on planet Risa. Vash was not the only one interested in the Uthat; other parties included Sovak and two Vorgon criminals from the future. Jean-Luc Picard, vacationing on Risa at the time, destroyed the Tox Uthat to prevent it falling into unscrupulous hands. (“Captain's Holiday” [TNG]).

~1:[1,#B],6:[1,#B],28:[2,#B]@1T'Pau@2(Celia Lovsky). High ranking Vulcan official who presided at Spock's almost-wedding in 2267. T'Pau was the only person ever to turn down a seat on the Federation Council. (“Amok Time” [TOS]).
~1:[1,#BI],8:[1,#I],24:[2,#B],31:[1,#I],42:[3,#B],57:[1,#I],106:[13,#I]@1T'Pau@2Vulcan spacecraft, registry number NSP-17938. The T'Pau was decommissioned in 2364 and assigned to the Starfleet surplus depot in orbit of planet Qualor II. In 2368, parts of the T'Pau's navigational deflector array were discovered in the wreckage of a Ferengi cargo shuttle. Investigation of the unauthorized parts transfer led to the discovery that the T'Pau had been surreptitiously acquired by the Romulans. The ship was used to carry some 2,000 Romulan troops during an attempted Romulan invasion of planet Vulcan in 2368. When the attempted invasion was exposed by Ambassador Spock, the Romulans destroyed the ship to avoid capture. (“Unification, Part I” [TNG]). The ship was presumably named after the Vulcan dignitary from “Amok Time” (TOS).
~1:[2,#B],10:[2,#B],50:[1,#I],75:[1,#BI]@1T'Pel, Ambassador@2(Sierra Pecheur). False identity assumed by Romulan subcommander Selok on an undercover mission in the Federation. As T'Pel, Selok posed as a Vulcan ambassador who was renowned as one of the Federation's most honored diplomats. In 2367, T'Pel was transported to the Romulan Neutral Zone aboard the Enterprise -D as part of an apparent Romulan peace initiative. T'Pel was apparently killed in a transporter accident while beaming over to the Romulan Warbird Devoras. It was later learned that her “death” was staged to cover her return to Romulan territory. (“Data's Day” [TNG]).

~1:[1,#B],11:[1,#B],81:[2,#BI],83:[10,#I]@1T'Pring@2(Arlene Martel). Vulcan woman who was telepathically bonded with Spock when they were both seven years old. At their marriage ceremony in 2267, she rejected Spock and selected Captain Kirk as her champion, forcing the two men to fight for her possession. She had chosen Kirk, knowing that Spock would release her for making the challenge and that Kirk would not want her, so that she would be free to choose Stonn as her consort. (“Amok Time” [TOS]). SEE: Pon farr. Arlene Martel now works under the professional name Tasha Martel.
