A dormant T-cell was responsible for Lieutenant Reginald Barclay's contraction of Urodelean Flu in 2370. Dr. Crusher administered a synthetic T-cell to enable him to fight the disease naturally. This activated Barclay's latent introns, and was responsible for the outbreak of Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome among the crew. (“Genesis” [TNG]). Even though Dr. Crusher told Barclay the T-cell in his DNA was dormant there are no T-cells in DNA. There is DNA in T-cells, which might be where Dr. Beverly got confused....

~1:[3,#B],15:[2,#B],28:[2,#B],35:[3,#B],80:[1,#B],82:[1,#B],120:[2,#B],364:[9,#I]@1Tainer, Dr. Juliana@2(Fionnula Flanagan). Human geologist who resided with her husband on planet Atrea IV. Mrs. Tainer was born Juliana O'Donnell, and was a colonist on Omicron Theta during the same period that Dr. Noonien Soong resided there in the 2330s. Juliana and Soong fell in love, and over the objections of Juliana's mother, secretly married on a trip to Mavala IV. Juliana assisted Soong in the development and construction of five positronic androids, the last two being Lore and Data. Juliana considered each of the androids as her children; the failure of the first four was very painful for her. The Soongs were nearing the final phases of Data's programming when Omicron Theta was attacked by the Crystalline Entity. Fearing that Data would behave as his predecessor, Lore, Juliana persuaded Soong to leave the android behind as they fled the Entity. The Soongs were able to travel as far as Terlina III, but Juliana had been injured by the Entity and became comatose. Unable to stand the thought of losing her, Soong created an extremely advanced android in her image, and implanted the android with her memories. Following the human Juliana's death, Soong activated this new android. This android believed herself to be Juliana Soong and believed that she had just recovered from a serious accident. Soong went to great lengths to assure that the android Juliana would not discover her true nature. He designed a feedback processor which sent out a false biosignal to fool sensor devices. He also programmed the android to shut down in the event her design was discovered, so she would not discover the truth herself. For a time, Soong and his android creation were happy. But Juliana became unhappy with her life on Terlina III; eventually she left the planet and Soong. Sometime later Juliana met and married Dr. Pran Tainer, an Atrean geologist. Juliana followed her son, Data, and his accomplishments until she was finally able to reunite with him at Atrea IV in 2370. Though Juliana's true nature was discovered by Data, he honored Soong's wishes and allowed Juliana to live out the remainder of her days believing she was human. (“Inheritance” [TNG]). Fionnula Flanagan also portrayed Enina Tandro in “Dax” (DS9).

Agent of the Vulcan isolationist movment who infiltrated Arctus Baran's mercenary crew in 2370. Tallera also claimed to be a member of the Vulcan V'Shar security agency, but this, too, was a cover to conceal her mission to acquire fragments of the ancient Stone of Gol, a psionic resonator, for the Vulcan isolationists. Tallera was captured and turned over to Vulcan Security Minister Setok. (“Gambit, Parts I and II” [TNG]). Robin Curtis also portrayed Lieutenant Saavik in Star Trek III and IV.

Enterprise -D officer Data created a holodeck program to stage Act V, Scene I of The Tempest in 2370 so that he could play the role of Prospero. (“Emergence” [TNG]). The Miranda -class starship designation was named for Miranda, daughter of Prospero in this play.
~1:[2,#B],30:[2,#B],32:[44,#I]@1temporal anomaly@2Rift or hole in the space-time continuum, which allows for passage from one time period to another, or from one parallel reality to another. (“Parallels” [TNG]). SEE: quantum fissure. Temporal anomalies have been the basis for many troubling situations in episodes such as: “Time Squared” (TNG); “Yesterday's Enterprise” (TNG); “Cause and Effect” (TNG) and “Past Tense” (DS9). While they make for interesting drama, the details of the story are sometimes hard to explain.
~1:[2,#B],11:[1,#B]@1temporal reversion@2Phenomenon that can occurred in proximity to a anti-time anomaly. Exposure could cause living cell structures to revert to earlier forms. In some cases this had the effect of causing old injuries to heal. This benefit was temporary, as prolonged exposure caused cells to coalesce and cease to function. (“All Good Things…” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],6:[1,#I],19:[1,#I],27:[1,#I]@1terakine@2Analgesic used aboard the Enterprise -D. Terakine was administered to Commander William Riker following an accident in Bat'leth practice where he fractured a rib. (“The Pegasus” [TNG]).
~1:[3,#B],33:[2,#B]@1Terellian Death Syndrome@2Disease whose symptoms include dizziness, blurred vision, palpitations and stinging in the lower spine. The condition causes cellular decay, which can be reversed if caught early enough. In 2370, Reginald Barclay diagnosed himself as having this syndrome. Fortunately, he was wrong. (“Genesis” [TNG]).

It was here that Soong and his wife Juliana Soong landed following their escape from Omicron Theta. Juliana died shortly after their arrival, from injuries sustained in their escape from the Crystalline Entity. Following her death, Soong created her android double in his lab, as well as creating the emotion chip for Data. In 2366, Soong died in his laboratory. (“Inheritance” [TNG] “Brothers” [TNG]).

~1:[2,#B],9:[2,#B]@1tetryon radiation@2Emission caused by the decay of tetryon particles. Since tetryons can only exist in subspace, the presence of tetryon radiation is indicative of an intrusion of subspace into normal space, i.e. the formation of a subspace rift. (“Force of Nature” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],24:[1,#I],48:[2,#B]@1Thanatos VII@2Planet where a new interphasic fusion process was developed. The process was used to manufacture plasma flow conduits. In 2370, the Enterprise -D received a plasma flow conduit manufactured on this world as part of a new warp core installation.. Unfortunately, the manufacturing process attracted interphasic organisms, which infested the core, and later the crew of the ship. (“Phantasms” [TNG])
~1:[2,#B],19:[3,#B],25:[2,#B]@1thermal stabilizers@2Devices used in artificial planetary atmospheric control systems. Thermal stabilizers were employed as part of the weather control matrix developed for planet Hekaras II. (“Force of Nature” [TNG]).

A tomographic imaging scanner was developed at the Daystrom Institute and was still in the theoretical stage in 2364. By 2370 the scanners were in general use aboard starships. (In Q's anti-time reality, Data used this type of scanner to map the internal structure of the temporal anomaly discovered in the Devron system. From the results of the scan he concluded that the rift was created by the convergence of the three identical inverse tachyon beams, each originating from a different time period.) (“All Good Things…” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],7:[2,#B],20:[2,#B],38:[2,#I]@1Topin system@2Star system in the Demilitarized Zone.

The shuttlecraft piloted by the Koral was of the Toron -class. (“Gambit, Part II” [TNG]). The Toron -class shuttle was a redress of the Nenebek from “Final Mission” (TNG), which leads one to wonder if all the various Nenebek reuses were Toron -class ships.

In 2370, following the disappearance of Dr. Beverly Crusher and Captain Jean-Luc Picard during a routine transport, the transporter sensor log revealed an unusual concentration of antigraviton particles in the emitter coil. This led to the discovery that they had been kidnapped by the Prytt, who used a tractor beam to deflect the transporter beam into Prytt territory. (“Attached” [TNG]). SEE: Kesprytt III; Kes; Lorin, Prytt Security Minister; Mauric, Ambassador.
~1:[3,#B],30:[1,#I],60:[10,#B]@1transporter targeting components@2Aboard Federation starships, a subsystem of the transporter that is responsible for determining the exact coordinates of the materialization site. In 2370, following the disappearance of Enterprise -D captain Jean-Luc Picard and Dr. Beverly Crusher during a routine transport, the targeting components were suspected as a possible cause, although later testing exonerated them. (“Attached” [TNG]). SEE: Kesprytt III; Kes; Lorin, Prytt Security Minister; Mauric, Ambassador; Prytt.

~1:[2,#B],8:[1,#B],10:[4,#B],89:[1,#B]@1Troi, Kestra@2(Andreana Weiner). (2329-2336). Daughter of Lwaxana and Ian Andrew Troi (senior) and sister of Deanna Troi. Kestra Troi was born in 2329, a year after her parents' marriage. She died in a drowning accident when she was seven years old. Lwaxana blamed herself for her child's death and blocked the incident from her mind for over 30 years. As a result, Deanna Troi never learned that she had had an older sister until the memory resurfaced in her mother's mind in 2370. (“Dark Page” [TNG]). See: Hedril.
~1: [2, #b], 19: [1, #i], 37: [3, #b]@1Tyler, Ensign@2(Gina Ravarra). Eager young engineering officer. She was part of the engineering team on board the Enterprise -D that installed a new warp core in 2370. Tyler had an obvious but unrequited crush on Geordi La Forge. (“Phantasms” [TNG]).

~1:[2,#B],48:[2,#B],75:[2,#B]@1uncertainty principle@2Principle of quantum mechanics devised by Earth scientist Dr. Werner Heisenberg in 1927. The principle states that increasing the accuracy of the measurement in one observable quantity also increases the uncertainty of knowledge of other quantities in the equation. In returning Worf to his correct quantum reality, an alternate Data was unsure at what time Worf would return, as the uncertainty principle made time a variable in his equations. (“Parallels” [TNG]). SEE: Heisenberg compensators.
~1:[2,#B],13:[3,#B],32:[2,#B],39:[1,#B],72:[22,#I]@1Urodelean flu@2Mild affliction with symptoms that include an imbalance in the K-3 cell count, increased intravascular pressure and heightened electrophoretic activity. Most humans have a natural immunity against the disease. Reginald Barclay contracted Urodelean flu because the T-cell in his DNA that would normally fight off the infection was dormant. Dr. Beverly Crusher activated his dormant gene with a synthetic T-cell to help him fight off the flu. (“Genesis” [TNG]). Well…T-cells are white blood cells, which definitely will not fit inside of genes. Actually, it should be the DNA in his T-cell.
~1:[1,#B],8:[1,#B],26:[3,#B]@1V'Shar@2Security arm of the Vulcan government. Tallera claimed to be a member of the V'Shar, but she was in fact an agent of the Vulcan isolationist movement. (“Gambit, Parts I and II” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],9:[2,#B]@1Vacca VI@2Class-M Federation planet, located in the Cabral sector, settled by the Boraalans in 2370. Vacca's surface conditions were slightly less favorable than the Boraalans were accustomed to. (“Homeward” [TNG]).

She was present during the abduction of Commander Riker from Barradas III. Vekor joined in the mutiny against Baran, and was part of the mercenary landing party to Vulcan. She was killed there when Tallera activated the psionic resonator. (“Gambit, Parts I and II” [TNG]). Caitlin Brown also played Ty Kajada in “The Passenger” (DS9), as well as Na'Toth, the Narn ambassadorial aide during the first season of Babylon 5.
~1:[2,#B],12:[2,#B],17:[1,#B]@1Vellorian mountains@2Mountain range some distance from the village on planet Barkon IV. Barkon village healer Talar surmised incorrectly that Data was a member of a race of “icemen” who were believed to live in these mountains. (“Thine Own Self” [TNG]).
~1:[2,#B],8:[1,#B],10:[1,#B]@1verteron mines@2Device designed by Hekaran scientists, Serova and Rabal. These devices, which resembled signal buoys, were programmed to emit a massive verteron pulse when any ship approached. The pulse would effectively disable all the subspace systems of the affected ship. (“Force of Nature” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],16:[2,#B],20:[1,#I]@1vertions@2Subatomic particles. The only natural source of vertion particles are white dwarf stars. The emergent life-form aboard the Enterprise -D in 2370 used vertion particles to construct a semiorganic artificial life-form. Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge was able to create vertions for the emergent life-form by detonating a modified photon torpedo in the McPherson Nebula. (“Emergence” [TNG]).

~1: [2, #b], 9: [2, #b], 61: [1, #i], 64: [2, #b], 115: [3, #b]@1Vigo, Jason@2(Ken Olandt). Born in 2347 to Miranda Vigo and a Starfleet officer. Jason moved to Camor V with his mother in 2358. Life on Camor V proved difficult, and Jason was arrested by local authorities for several minor offenses. In 2370, former DaiMon Bok surreptitiously resequenced Jason's DNA to make it appear that Jason was the son of Enterprise -D captain Jean-Luc Picard, who had in fact, had an affair with Jason's mother in 2346. Bok planned to let Picard believe that he had a son, then planned to kill this long-lost offspring. Bok hoped this would gain revenge against Picard for Picard's role in the death of Bok's son in the Battle of Maxia in 2355. As a result of Bok's genetic tampering, Jason developed Forrester Trent Syndrome, a treatable condition that provided evidence of Bok's plot. Bok's plan failed and Jason returned to Camor V, finding not a father but perhaps a new friend. (“Bloodlines” [TNG]).

Miranda was born on New Gaul around 2320 and trained as a botanist. She had a brief but intense romantic relationship with Jean-Luc Picard in 2346 and although the couple planned to stay in touch, they never saw each other again. In 2347, Miranda had a son, Jason, by an unnamed Starfleet officer; the boy never learning the true identity of his father. In 2358, Miranda and her ten year old child moved to Camor V where she cared for orphans left homeless from the Cardassian war. Although a difficult life, Miranda enjoyed tending crops and teaching the orphans to read and survive. Her untimely death came at the hands of two men on the streets of Camor V as they killed her for the food she was carrying. (“Bloodlines” [TNG]). We suspect that an early draft of “Bloodlines” may have cast Miranda as a member of Picard's crew aboard the Stargazer, since his weapons officer aboard that ship (seen in “The Battle” [TNG]) was named Vigo. We speculate that as the story was developed, the Stargazer connection was dropped, but the character name was not changed.

Vorin, who was the village chronicle, left the group to search for a missing piece of the village scroll and accidentally exited the holodeck, becoming aware that he was aboard a starship, not in a cave on his homeworld. He was taken to sickbay, where an attempt was made to erase his memory of what he had seen. But due to the unusual physiology of his neural system, his short term memory remained intact. Captain Picard offered Vorin the choice of returning to his people, where he would be unable to tell them of the things he had seen, or remaining with the crew of the Enterprise -D. Unfortunately, Vorin was unable to make the choice. He was found dead shortly afterwards, having committed a form of ritual suicide. (“Homeward” [TNG]). SEE: Boraalan chronicle.

Voval flew the craft that was supposedly sent to transport Captain Jean-Luc Picard to the Iyaaran homeworld during the first Iyaaran diplomatic contact with the Federation in 2370. The spacecraft crashed en route and Picard found himself marooned with a human woman, Anna. In truth, Anna was Voval, who had assumed her form in an attempt to learn firsthand of human intimacy and the emotion of love. (“Liaisons” [TNG]). Eric Pierpoint is also familiar to genre fans for his portrayal of Newcomer police detective George Francisco in the television series Alien Nation.
~1:[3,#B],52:[1,#B],67:[3,#B]@1Vulcan isolationist movement@2Small but growing group of separatists on Vulcan. The group's members believed that contact with alien races had polluted their culture and destroyed Vulcan purity. They advocated the total isolation of Vulcan from the rest of the galaxy and the eradication of all alien influences from their planet. Tallera was a member of this group, who, in 2370, tried to reassemble the ancient Stone of Gol for use in furthering the movement's goals. (“Gambit, Part II” [TNG]).
