1:[2,#B],101:[2,#B],112:[3,#B]@1Pazlar, Melora@2(Daphne Ashbrook). Starfleet stellar cartographer who was assigned to station Deep Space 9 in 2370. Pazlar was the first Elaysian in Starfleet, and one of the very few of her species to leave her native world. Because her people evolved in a low-gravity environment, Pazlar faced many obstacles in becoming a Starfleet officer, and developed a defensive attitude as a result. Pazlar was nevertheless a well-rounded officer; she had a working knowledge of Vulcan music and an impressive command of the Klingon language. During her assignment on the station, Pazlar was instrumental in the capture of a criminal, Fallit Kot, who had been threatening station personnel. (“Melora” [DS9]). SEE: neuromuscular adaptation theory.
~1:[2,#B],12:[2,#B],19:[3,#B],35:[1,#I]@1Pe'Nar Makull@2(Nicolas Surovy). Inhabitant of a Class-M planet in the Delta Quadrant whose people were dependent on polaric ion energy. Pe'Nar Makull and others protested against the use of polaric energy. In 2371, Voyager personnel visited his world but Pe'Nar Makull believed them to be governmental spies sent to halt the protests. (“Time and Again” [VGR]).
~1:[2,#B],19:[2,#B]@1pecan pie@2Dessert food consisting of pecan nut compote baked in a crust. Kathryn Janeway delighted Sikarian magistrate Gathorel Labin with the taste of pecan pie. (“Prime Factors.” [VGR]).

~1:[1,#B],4:[1,#B],44:[3,#B]@1Pel@2(Hêlen Udy). Ferengi waiter hired to work at Quark's bar in 2370. Impressed by Pel's business sense, Quark took the young waiter with him to the Gamma Quadrant to negotiate with the Dosi. After the trip, Pel shocked both Quark and the Grand Nagus Zek by revealing herself to be a female. Unable to remain with Quark because of Ferengi custom, she boarded an Andorian ship bound for the Gamma Quadrant (“Rules of Acquisition” [DS9]).

~1:[1,#B],43:[1,#B],125:[1,#B],133:[2,#B]@1phage@2In biology, a virus that infects bacteria by attaching a hollow protein tail to a bacteria cell wall, injecting DNA into the cell. Sometimes called a bacteriophage. Phage was also the name of a deadly virus that attacked members of the Vidiian race in the Delta Quadrant. The phage consumed the Vidiians' bodies, destroying their genetic codes and cellular structures. There was no known cure for the phage, and the Vidiians survived as a species only by making extensive use of organ transplantation. (“Phage” [VGR]). One of the symptoms of the early stages of the phage is excruciating joint pain. Some who are infected have been known to die from the agony itself. Klingon physiology was resistant to the phage, and Vidiian scientist Sulan believed that Klingon genetic material extracted from B'Elanna Torres would eventually lead to a cure for the disease. (“Faces” [VGR]).

Two of these creatures were accidentally brought to Voyager while gathering energy from a nearby protostar. One of the creatures took refuge on the ship's holodeck, where it briefly captured three members of the Voyager crew while trying to communicate with the crew. (“Heroes and Demons” [VGR]). SEE: Beowulf; Grendel.
~1:[4,#B],14:[2,#B]@1Picnic on Rymus Major@2Holosuite program; an outdoor setting shared by Quark and Natima Lang in 2363. It was the first holosuite program installed on station Terok Nor. (“Profit and Loss” [DS9]).

SEE: Ferengi death ritual.

Enterprise -B was to have taken the ship out beyond Pluto and then back to spacedock. This flight plan was abandoned when the starship responded to a distress call from the transport ship S.S. Lakul. (Star Trek: Generations).
~1:[4,#B],52:[11,#I]@1Polaric Test Ban Treaty@2Pact against the use of polaric ion energy sources, signed by the United Federation of Planets and the Romulan Star Empire in 2268. The treaty was prompted when a Romulan research colony on planet Chaltok IV was almost destroyed while testing polaric energy. (“Time and Again” [VGR]). It wasn't clear if there were other signatories to the pact.
~1:[3,#B],47:[2,#B],61:[2,#I],84:[81,#I]@1polaric ion energy@2Highly energetic but unstable power source. Although early research showed polaric energy as a promising means of providing power on a planetary scale, its use ran serious risks of uncontrolled chain reactions. Such an incident nearly destroyed a Romulan research colony on planet Chaltok IV, resulting in the Polaric Test Ban Treaty of 2268. In 2371, the U.S.S. Voyager scanned a Class-M planet in the Delta Quadrant whose inhabitants had a planet-wide polaric ion energy system. (“Time and Again” [VGR]). The episode dealt with the aftermath of a planet-wide polaric ion explosion, and of our heroes' time travel to a day before the explosion, where they learned that they were the cause of the disaster. Since Janeway and company were successful in correcting the timeline, no one on the ship or the planet retained any memory of the explosion or the efforts to prevent it. The unnamed Class-M planet had a pre-warp culture, so no attempt was made to contact them.
~1:[1,#B],8:[2,#I],17:[1,#B],27:[2,#B]@1polaron@2Subatomic particle. On stardate 48658, the Starship Voyager used a polaron burst to illuminate a Kazon ship, making the vessel momentarily visible despite the Kazon's masking circuitry. (“State of Flux” [VGR]).

The patient after being given such an implant can exhibit dramatic personality changes. The magnitude and scope of these changes are a function of which areas and how much of the brain is replaced.

~1:[1,#B]@1protouniverse@2A universe in its early stages of formation. More specifically, this term was applied to one such universe found in the Gamma Quadrant and accidentally brought aboard station Deep Space 9 in 2370. The protouniverse expanded, threatening station safety by displacing parts of this universe (and the station). Although prudence suggested destroying the protouniverse, sensor studies revealed the possibility that life, possibly even entire civilizations, was evolving within it. The protouniverse was subsequently returned to its original location in the Gamma Quadrant. (“Playing God” [DS9]).

In accordance with her people's customs, she died in a cenotaph, just prior to being sent to the Next Emanation through a spectral rupture. During this process, Ptera was accidentally exchanged with Ensign Harry Kim, a crew member from the Starship Voyager. Ptera was recovered by Voyager personnel and revived. She interpreted her revival as her entry in the Next Emanation, and was profoundly disappointed to find herself aboard a starship. Ptera died when the Voyager crew tried to send her back through a subspace vacuole. (“Emanations” [VGR]).

In 2349, R'Mor, who was a member of the Romulan Astrophysical Academy, began an extended scientific mission aboard the Talvath, leaving behind his wife and an infant daughter on Romulus. In 2351, R'Mor made contact through a micro-wormhole with the Federation starship Voyager in the distant Delta Quadrant. The wormhole traversed not only across the galaxy, but also 20 years into R'Mor's future, as the Voyager was in the year 2371. R'Mor sympathized with the plight of the Voyager crew, and offered to deliver personal messages to the families of the Voyager crew in the year 2371. Unfortunately, R'Mor died in 2367, four years before he could have fulfilled his promise. (“Eye of the Needle” [VGR]). It was not revealed if the messages were ever delivered. Vaughn Armstrong has previously played Captain Korris in “Heart of Glory” (TNG) and Gul Danar in “Past Prologue” (DS9).
