~1:[2,#B],8:[2,#B],30:[2,#B]@1Iadara Colony@2Federation Colony. (In an alternate quantum reality visited by Worf in 2370, Iadara was the object of covert surveillance by the Cardassians. The Cardassians had reprogrammed the Argus Array to observe the Iadara colony, as well as other Federation installations.) (“Parallels” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],12:[1,#I],26:[3,#B],31:[1,#I],35:[1,#B],58:[11,#I]@1iguana@2Earth reptile; any of the larger members of the family Iguanidae; they can attain a length of approximately 1.8 meters. During the outbreak of Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome aboard the Enterprise -D in 2370, Spot devolved into a large iguana. The transformation apparently took place as Spot was giving birth to a litter of kittens. (“Genesis” [TNG]). Luckily for the kittens, iguanas subsist mostly on fruit and vegetation.
~1:[1,#B],12:[2,#B],49:[1,#B]@1Ihat@2One of the many D'Arsay mythological characters stored in the D'Arsay archive and “played out” by Data, following his programming by the archive in 2370. Ihat was the first personality to appear and acted as a “spokesman.”. He was the first to allude to the nature of Masaka and her subjects (“Masks” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],26:[2,#B],36:[1,#I]@1imaging logs@2Record of visual acquisition activity by a scientific or other image recording device, such as an astronomical observatory. These imaging logs of the Argus Array were downloaded in 2370 as part of the Enterprise -D's investigation into the malfunction of the Array. (“Parallels” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],34:[2,#BI],52:[2,#B]@1interface probe@2Robotic device that uses remote telepresence technology to permit a person to work in hazardous environments while remaining at another, safer location. In 2370, a interface probe was sent into the U.S.S. Raman allowing Geordi to see and feel his way around the ship with the assistance of the interface unit. (“Interface” [TNG])
~1: [2, #b], 7: [1, #i], 16: [2, #i], 27: [3, #b], 32: [1, #b]@1interface unit@2Experimental device used by Enterprise -D personnel in their attempt to rescue the U.S.S. Raman from Marijne VII in 2370. It was connected to Geordi La Forge through his VISOR inputs, allowing sensory information to be transmitted directly to his cerebral cortex. Geordi could also move the interface probe and cause it to perform various functions merely by thinking of moving his own limbs. (“Interface” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],20:[2,#B],29:[1,#I],45:[2,#B],66:[1,#B],77:[2,#B]@1interphasic organisms@2Nonsentient life-forms that attach themselves to the epidermal layers of their hosts with osmotic tendrils, and extract cellular peptides. Interphasic organisms were brought on board the Enterprise -D in 2370 following the installation of warp core components that were manufactured on planet Thanatos VII. They lay dormant until the core was activated. These entities were invisible to the naked eye and undetectable with tricorders. Their presence could be determined with the use of an interphasic scanner. Data's positronic brain subconsciously detected the interphasic pulse emitted by the organisms. The pulse caused his dream program to produce bizarre, but symbolic imagery. Data destroyed the interphasic organisms by subjecting them to a high-frequency interphasic pulse. (“Phantasms” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],24:[2,#B]@1interphasic scanner@2Small hand-held instrument that directs energy to anything of an interphasic nature visible. Dr. Beverly Crusher used one to see the interphasic organisms on her patients in 2370. She noted that tricorders were not able to detect interphasic phenomenon. (“Phantasms” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],24:[2,#B],28:[10,#I]@1intravascular pressure@2Measurable pressure of the blood against the walls of the vessels in a humanoid body. Intravascular pressure is sometimes elevated in Urodelean Flu. (“Genesis” [TNG]). In the old (pre-tech) days, this was called “blood pressure.”
~1:[1,#B],28:[3,#B],42:[1,#I]@1introns@2Portions of an individual's genetic code that are normally dormant. Introns are evolutionary holdovers, which, provided key behavioral and physical characteristics to evolutionary predecessors. In 2370, Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome caused the reactivation of certain introns in the crew of the Enterprise -D, resulting in their reversion to earlier evolutionary forms. (“Genesis” [TNG]).
~1: [3, #b], 6: [2, #b], 67: [1, #i], 107: [12, #i], 120: [3, #i], 124: [7, #i]@1inverse tachyon beam@2In the anti-time future created by the Q Continuum, Data devised a scanning technique to use an inverse tachyon beam to explore the interior of the temporal anomaly located in the Devron system. The technique utilized the main deflector dish modified to emit the scanning pulse. It allowed probing beyond the subspace barrier. Captain Picard, as he shifted between time periods, had the Enterprise -D's of 2364 and 2370 utilize this technique as well. But a paradox ensued; the crews discovered that the use of the inverse tachyon beam to scan the anomaly had in fact caused the anomaly. (“All Good Things...” [TNG]). Fans have correctly pointed out that the original beam came from the Pasteur, and not the Enterprise -D as alluded to in the dialog.
~1:[2,#B],33:[2,#BI],37:[1,#I],49:[1,#I],65:[1,#I],72:[1,#I],80:[1,#I],87:[1,#I]@1ionizing radiation@2Any radiation powerful enough to cause certain atoms to become electrically charged. Large amounts of ionizing radiation were present in the Devolin system, which made locating the hulk of the U.S.S Pegasus difficult. The Enterprise -D used the natural radiation to its advantage after locating the Pegasus. Fearing that a nearby Romulan ship would also locate the ship, the crew of the Enterprise -D blanketed the asteroid containing the Pegasus with more ionizing radiation, thereby obscuring the Pegasus from the Romulan ship's sensors. (“The Pegasus” [TNG]).
~1: [2, #b], 39: [2, #b], 55: [16, #i]@1Irumodic Syndrome@2Degenerative disorder that causes progressive deterioration of the synaptic pathways. The disease can cause senility and eventually death. Treatment of choice for the disorder was peridaxon, though this was simply palliative; no cure existed. (In the anti-time future created by the Q Continuum, Picard suffered from this disorder.) (“All Good Things…” [TNG]). It seems likely that the “real” Picard may also have the possibility of contracting Irumodic Syndrome.
~1:[2,#B],14:[2,#B]@1isomiotic hypo@2Device that can be combined with other components to create a biogenic weapon. (“Preemptive Strike” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],8:[1,#B],37:[2,#B]@1Iyaaran homeworld@2Planet of origin for the Iyaaran people, a world known for its spectacular crystal formations. Captain Jean-Luc Picard was scheduled to visit the Iyaaran homeworld in 2370 as part of a cultural exchange program. (“Liasions” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],6:[1,#B],38:[7,#I],46:[4,#I]@1Iyaaran shuttle@2Spacecraft, piloted by Voval, which was to take Captain Jean-Luc Picard to the Iyaaran homeworld for a diplomatic visit in 2370. Following a system wide power failure, the shuttle crashed, marooning the captain. (“Liaisons” [TNG]). This ship was another redress of the Nenebek from “Final Mission” (TNG).
~1:[1,#B],89:[1,#B],91:[1,#B],101:[1,#B]@1Iyaarans@2Species of humanoids who had their first cultural exchange with the Federation in 2370. Iyaarans, who are generally humanoid in form, reproduce by post-cellular compounding, and emerge full-grown from natal pods. Iyaarans do not share certain concepts, such as pleasure, antagonism and love. They regard the consumption of food as being for sustenance only, and their diet is bland in the extreme by the standards of many other humanoids. During their cultural exchange in 2370, they explored these concepts by assigning an ambassador to each. While Ambassadors Loquel and Byleth succeeded in their studies of pleasure and antagonism, Ambassador Voval felt he failed to understand the nature of love. (“Liaisons” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],9:[1,#B],12:[2,#B]@1Jayden@2Name given to the amnesiac Data by Gia on planet Barkon IV in 2370. (“Thine Own Self” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],6:[2,#B],11:[2,#B],23:[2,#B],26:[2,#B],32:[1,#B],88:[13,#I]@1Jessel@2(Pamela Kosh). In the anti-time future created by the Q Continuum, Jessel served as housekeeper in the traditional residence of the Lucasian Chair at Cambridge University. She was employed by Data, who held that post in this reality. Jessel made no secret of the fact that she disliked the gray streak which the Data of that time had affected, saying it made him look “like a bloody skunk!” Data felt Jessel was frightfully trying at times, but that she made him laugh. (“All Good Things...” [TNG]). Pamela Kosh previously had played Mrs. Carmichael in “Time's Arrow, Part II” (TNG).
~1:[1,#B]@1jolly@2Adjective meaning happy, in good spirits or joyous. There is no exact Klingon translation to this word. (“Parallels” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],13:[3,#B],24:[1,#B]@1Juhraya@2Federation colony that became Cardassian territory following the establishment of the Federation Cardassian treaty in 2370. Some citizens of this colony, including Macias, resisted relocation and remained in their homes. (“Preemptive Strike” [TNG]).

~1:[2,#B],10:[2,#B],17:[1,#B]@1K'Mtar alpha-1@2Holodeck recreation of the Klingon outpost of Maranga IV as it appeared in 2370. K'mtar used the simulation to demonstrate the importance of Klingon fighting skills to Alexander. (“Firstborn” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],9:[2,#B],25:[1,#BI],163:[19,#I]@1K'mtar@2(James Sloyan). Name used by the adult Alexander Rozhenko when he traveled back in time from 2410 to 2370. K'mtar posed as the gin'tak to the House of Mogh and claimed he was sent to protect against an attack on the family. In reality, he was there to train his younger self to be a warrior. In this Alexander's future, Alexander grew up to become a diplomat and peacemaker. This Alexander tried to end the feuding between the great houses by publicly announcing that the House of Mogh would no longer seek retribution. Worf warned this Alexander not to show such weakness, but Alexander called him “a relic from an earlier time” and said that a new era of peace was at hand. His enemies moved against him, killing Worf on the floor of the High Council chamber. Filled with remorse, this Alexander journeyed back in time to try to cause his younger self to become a Klingon warrior. (“Firstborn” [TNG]). James Sloyan also played Admiral Alidar Jarok in “The Defector” (TNG) and Dr. Mora Pol in “The Alternate” (DS9).

~1: [3, #b], 8: [2, #i], 19: [1, #i]@1Kaplan, Commander Donald@2Chief Engineer of the U.S.S. Intrepid in 2370. Kaplan was a Starfleet Academy classmate of Enterprise -D chief engineer Geordi La Forge. The two men were engaged in a friendly rivalry to see which engineer could achieve the highest power conversion level in their respective ship's engines. (“Force of Nature” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],4:[1,#B],9:[1,#B]@1Kateras@2(Edward Penn). Boraalan elder and father of Tarrana. Kateras asked Worf to take his daughter as a wife, should he not survive their journey to their new home in 2370. Worf assured Kateras that he would survive the trip. (“Homeward” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],4:[1,#B]@1Katowa@2Grandfather of Anthwara. Katowa led a group of Native Americans from Earth in 2170, to preserve their cultural identity by seeking a new home among the stars. (“Journey's End” [TNG]).

(“Firstborn” [TNG]). Named for the American aircraft carrier that served as the recovery vessel for Alan Shepard's Freedom Seven Mercury spacecraft.
~1: [5, #b], 12: [1, #i]@1Kes Security Relay Station One@2Planetary location that was to receive Enterprise -D captain Jean-Luc Picard and Dr. Beverly Crusher when they beamed down to Kesprytt III in 2370 on a diplomatic mission to evaluate the Kes application for membership in the Federation. The station was protected by a defensive shield. Unfortunately, the captain and doctor were kidnapped during transport, and the security station reported them missing. (“Attached” [TNG]).
~1: [2, #b], 6: [2, #b], 29: [4, #b], 57: [2, #i]@1Kes (TNG)@2Nation-state on planet Kesprytt III. The Kes comprised three-quarters of the planet's population. In the year 2370, the Kes applied for an associate membership in the United Federation of Planets, despite the fact that their world did not yet have a unified government. Both factions were paranoid in the extreme, and this paranoia led Starship Enterprise -D personnel, dispatched to evaluate the Kes application, to recommend the planet be denied membership at this time. (“Attached” [TNG]).
~1: [2, #b], 17: [2, #b], 26: [1, #b]@1Kesprytt III@2Class-M planet controlled by two large nation-states. Three-quarters of the population was governed by the Kes, while the remaining quarter belonged to the Prytt. (“Attached” [TNG]).

Koral was to rendezvous with Baran in the Hyralan sector for delivery of a Romulan artifact in 2370. However, Koral and his Toron -class shuttlecraft were detained by the personnel of the Enterprise -D. (“Gambit, Part II” [TNG]). Koral is probably the tallest Klingon to appear on Star Trek. He was portrayed by the 6'9” star forward of the L.A. Lakers basketball team.
~1: [1, #b], 35: [1, #i], 39: [1, #i]@1Korgano@2Character in ancient D'Arsay mythology. He was the nemesis of Masaka, the one who could control her and chase her from the sky. Korgano was represented in the D'Arsay archive intercepted by the Enterprise -D in 2370. Enterprise -D Captain Picard, after his study of the archive's information, felt that Korgano may have represented the moon, chasing the sun from the sky each night. Picard assumed the persona of Korgano in order to convince the archive, through communication with Masaka, to release his ship. (“Masks” [TNG]).

He was part of the team at Utopia Planetia Fleet Yards that helped build the Enterprise -D. Kwan's mother was Napean and his father was human, which gave him some empathic sense. In 2370, Kwan experienced empathic hallucinations that caused him to commit suicide by jumping into the plasma stream located in the nacelle control room in which he worked. Prior to his death he and Maddy Calloway had a romantic relationship. (“Eye of the Beholder” [TNG]). SEE: Pierce, Walter J.
