----LOCATION GUIDE-------------------------------------------------------------
Actos Four : An oligarchy, where the young engaged in a ritual similar to the
  Betazoid grace ritual. (Manhunt)
Alpha Centauri : Geordi boasts that Dr. Pulaski will spread the news that she
  has faked her own disappearance from the Enterprise to here.  (Elementary)
Antede Three : Home of the Antedians, a race of fish-people; few humans have
  ever seen them in the flesh.  The Antedians' preferred way of space travel
  is a self-induced catatonia; they are fearful of spaceflight.  Enterprise
  picks up two Antedians (who are in actuality assassins) for transport to Pa-
  cifica to decide whether Antede will join the Federation.  (Manhunt)
Arneb : Star that can be seen from 'aucdet Nine.  (The Child)
Atlek : -see- Coalition of Madina.
'aucdet Nine: Federation Medical Collection Station, under the supervision of
  medical trustee Lt. Cmdr. Hester Dealt.  Various strains of plasma plague
  are stored here and used in the Rachelis affair.  (The Child)
Benzar : A Federation member planet; home of the Benzites, a race of beings
  whose single most important drive is to impress everyone.  (Matter of Honor)
Beta Kupsik : Enterprise's next destination after its stop at Starbase Montgo-
  mery.  (The Icarus Factor)
Bonestell Recreation Facility : Located at Starbase Earhart, it attracted ga-
  lactic riffraff in its early days, including Norsicans.  (Samaritan Snare)
Boratis System : Located near 423x112x57, here the Enterprise picks up Special
  Emissary K'Ehleyr.  There are 13 colonies in the area, four in the system and
  nine in the surrounding sector; all are new, the first established on Boratis
  III thirty four years ago.  (The Emissary)
Braslota System : Location of the Starfleet Battle Simulation between the En-
  terprise and the USS Hathaway.  In the Oneamisu sector.  (Peak Performance)
Bringloid : Colony in the Ficus Sector inhabited by Irish people, who were
  anachronistic in 2123 and even moreso now.  There are 223 colonists taken off
  Bringloid when solar flares nearly destroy it.  They are put in Cargo Hold
  Seven.  Bringloid is the Gallic word for 'dream'.  (Up the Long Ladder)
Coalition of Madina : The twin planets of Atlek and Streleb in the Omega Sa-
  gitta Twelve system, settled several centuries ago by pioneers and who have
  enjoyed a largely peaceful relationship.  Their stability is threatened by
  what they perceive as philandering by Okona, who is actually the mediant

  dilithium ore ever discovered.  The crystals have formed lattices that have
  caused geological instabilities such as focusing heat into mechanical energy.
  Sarjenka is from here; she contacted Data via low level RF waves.  (Pen Pals)
Endicor System : The Enterprise's destination when it is picked up by the time
  vortex and nearly destroyed.  It is three days away when the vortex locates

  a Federation ship.  (The Dauphin)
Lima Sierra System : Picard notes the irregularities in the third planet's
  orbit when he is interrupted by arrival at Ramatis.  (Loud as a Whisper)
Lorenze Cluster : Location of Minos, the Arsenal of Freedom.  It can be seen
  from 'aucdet Nine.  (The Child)

Mariposa : Class M planet located half a light year from the Bringloidi sys-
  tem in the Ficus Sector.  The Mariposans are descended from the same group of

  seems to sense danger, especially Q.  Her people encountered the Borg 100
  years previous; the Borg destroyed them.  She seems to understand humor and

Picard, Captain Jean-Luc [Patrick Stewart] : Captain of the starship USS Enter-
  prise, he is the foremost pioneer of his era.  Picard is responsible for such
  notability as defending android rights in court, discovering lost civiliza-
  tions such as the Iconians, the Bringloidi and the Mariposans, as well as
  the first real contact with the Borg.  Archaeology was his hobby since his
  Academy days.  Picard has an artificial heart, a 'parthogenetic implant',
  due to a conflict in which he was wounded by Norsicans when he was young. He
  doesn't like kids, though in Wesley's opinion he would make a good father.
  Picard never had time for marriage.  He was top of his Academy class.  His
  ultimate goal is to take his ship to the farthest reaches of space.  When he
  is off duty, he spends his time as his favorite character, Dixon Hill, in the
  ship's holodeck.  A double of his from six hours in the future was once cre-
  ated by a time vortex.  Chose to defend Data's rights in Starfleet court to
  save the android's "life".  When Riker refers to himself as Captain following
  his fight for life against the Surata microbes, Picard calls Data the "ad-
  miral".  Picard is an animal person, though not with small ones; he is really
  a horse lover and a skilled equestrian.
Picard-2 [Patrick Stewart] : Double of Captain Picard from six hours in the
  future.  He was the only survivor of the future Enterprise's destruction,
  forced into a catatonic state.  He comes out of it closer to the actual time
  of contact with the time vortex.  (Time Squared)

  ally it was a setup for a murder.  (Elementary, Dear Data)

  zes in mineralogy and metallurgy.  (Pen Pals)
Prostitute [Diz White] : Saw Moriarty call the arch.  (Elementary, Dear Data)
Pulaski, Dr. Katherine [Diana Muldaur] : Acting Chief Medical Officer, USS En-
  terprise.  Transferred to the ship from her last assignment, USS Repulse,
  because of her fondness for exploration and service under Picard.  She is the
  author of "Linear Models of Viral Propatation" and is an expert in her field.
  She has been married three times, and still retains good friendship with all
  three men.  She is also a former lover of Kyle Riker and nearly married him.
  Her greatest medical skill, says Troi, is her empathy; she suffers when
  others suffer, as seen when Riker is infected on Surata Four.  She believes
  that "death is an experience best shared" when Worf demonstrates the Klingon
  Tea Ceremony for her; she uses an antidote to avoid being killed.  She is
  affected by the Darwinian disease and grows old, but her life was saved by
  Chief O'Brien in the transporter.
"Q" [John deLancie]: Arrogant member of the Q continuum, and Picard's foremost
  adversary.  His third visit to the Enterprise was on a quest to join them,
  and to show them of what lay ahead -- the Borg, for starters.  Q also recog-
  nized Guinan.  He was asked to leave the Continuum following his last visit.
  His reasons were wrong but his actions Picard deems correct.  (Q Who)

  rybdis, he died 283 years previously after being trapped in the Hotel Royale
  for 38 years by aliens who created it out of guilt.  (The Royale)
Riker, Kyle [Mitchell Ryan]: Father of Will Riker, a civilian adviser to Star-
  fleet and strategic attache.  He and Pulaski are former lovers; she calls
  him "crusty, hard as nails" but underneath is still a good man.  He worked
  at the Tokyo base and also at another starbase advising about Starfleet's
  conflict with the Tholians which was attacked; he was the only survivor.  He
  taught Will all he knows about Anbo-jyutsu.  It has been 15 years since he
  last saw his son.  He hates to cook.  (The Icarus Factor)
Riker, Commander William T. [Jonathan Frakes] : First Officer of the USS En-
  terprise.  Born in Valdez, Alaska; his father is Kyle Riker, his mother died
  when he was young and he never knew her.  Riker blames her death on Kyle.
  At eight he learned the art of anbo-jyutsu; at nine, he caught a fish but
  his father took the rod away so he wouldn't lose it.  He cooks because his
  father hated to.  He was on his own since age 15, and did not speak to his
  father for 15 years.  His access code is "Theta Alpha 2737 Blue, Enable".
  Once shared a relationship with Troi.  Picard sometimes thinks he acts like
  a mother hen.  He requested his post on the Klingon ship Pagh in Starfleet's
  Exchange program, and turns down a promotion to Captain of the Ares due to
  "motivated self-interest".  He can speak a little Klingonese.  On the holo-
  deck-created San Francisco program, Riker calls him "Nails from Chicago."
  Nearly died from a parasitic infection until his own emotions destroyed it.
  He believes the Rikers to be "ornery"; his great-grandfather was bitten by a
  rattlesnake and "after 3 days of intense pain, the snake died."  At the Aca-
  demy he calculated a blind spot on a Tholian vessel and hid in it in a battle
  simulation; as a Lieutenant on the Potemkin he shut down the power and hid
  over the magnetic poles to confuse his opponent's sensors.  Data says he only
  relies on traditional tactics 21% of the time.
Rita [unseen] : A woman caught between her two loves -- Mickey D and the Bell
  Boy of the Hotel Royale.  (The Royale)
Riva [Howie Seago] : The "Great Mediator" from Ramatis Three.  The gene for
  hearing is not in his planet's ruling line; hence he is deaf.  His negotia-
  tions successfully created several peace treaties between the Federation and
  Klingon Empire -- before him, there was no word for "peacemaker" in Klingon
  dictionaries.  The Solari request that he and he alone be the mediator be-
  tween the two factions of their race.  (Loud as a Whisper)

  mitter her father frowns upon.  Data rescues her from death by bringing her

  cludes her parents and brothers.  (Pen Pals)

  She beamed down to Graves' World to assist the landing party in ascertaining
  the health of Ira Graves.  (The Schizoid Man)

  warring Solari faction.  (Loud as a Whisper)
Sung, Dr. Noonian [unseen] : The leading authority on Cybernetics and the cre-

  time by mind power.  Played by Eric Menyuk last season in "Where No One Has
  Gone Before".  (Time Squared)
Troi, Counselor Deanna [Marina Sirtis] : Lieutenant Commander and Chief Counse-
  lor, USS Enterprise.  She is the heart of the bridge, Picard's ace in the
  hole.  Her mother is a bit of a bother, but Deanna is a very vibrant woman.
  She shared a past with Riker -- where she warned him about the 'Phase' -- and
  now they are friends.  She has an office somewhere on the ship, seen once.
  Troi is forced to give birth to an alien life form and names it Ian, after
  her father; she is also subject to the advances of the deaf mediator, Riva.
  She aids Pulaski, consoles Wesley and counsels K'Ehleyr, even though the lat-
  ter wants no part of it.  She keeps vigil in Riker's room when he is infec-
  ted on Surata Four.
Troi, Ian Andrew [unseen]: Father of Deanna Troi, once married to Lwaxana Troi.
  Troi names her child, Ian, after her father.  Ian apparently worshipped his

  Riker and wonders how good he would be sexually.  (A Matter of Honor)
Warrior/Adonis [Leo Damian] : Part of Riva's chorus, he represents passion and
  lust.  He is also the romantic aspect of Riva's nature; it is he who commu-
  nicates personally with Troi.  He is killed by a Solari gunman.  (Whisper)
Warriors [Richard Lavin, Chip Heller] : Solari leaders.  (Loud as a Whisper)
Weapons Officer [Dana Sparks] : (Contagion)
Woman [Marnie Mosiman] : Part of Riva's chorus, she represents harmony, wisdom

  with others.  She is killed by a Solari malcontent.  (Loud as a Whisper)
Worf, Lieutenant J.G. [Michael Dorn] : Security Chief, USS Enterprise.  He is
  "the perfect Klingon, the ultimate minimalist."  For him, the Oath of mating
  is more than a point of honor.  He is a romantic, says Pulaski; but Q still
  calls him the 'microbrain'.  He battles holodeck creations with Riker and
  K'Ehleyr, whom he is mated with.  He doesn't understand betting in poker,
  or the concept of gambling all that well.  He DOES understand force, and the
  way Klingons think.  Worf adapts to command well on his first assignment in
  the center seat.  He suffers when the 10th anniversary of his Age of Ascen-
  sion comes along.  Worf never knew his real father.  When Riker is given
  command of the Ares, he wishes to transfer with him.

  mate user" says Q.  They swarmed through Guinan's system and destroyed her
  planet, forcing them to flee.  Their ships regenerate.  The Borg's first
  real encounter with the Enterprise was due to Q's intervention; however, it
  seems as though a Borg ship managed to penetrate the Federation earlier, and
  destroyed several Neutral Zone outposts.  (Q Who; hinted at in last year's

  emotion, far better than simple interpretation.  (Loud as a Whisper)
Class 1 Probe : Picard orders this probe sent into the vortex, but it is only
  destroyed. (Time Squared)  One is modified to become a resonator. (Pen Pals)
Class 8 Probe : A coffin-shaped object resembling a photon torpedo casing.  One
  probe had its sensors and transmitters removed and replaced with life support
  for transport of K'Ehleyr to the Enterprise.  A Class 8 Probe is capable of
  travelling at Warp Nine.  (The Emissary)
Cloaking Device : A Romulan invention in use for nearly a century.  Romulan
  ships cannot fire while cloaked.  (Contagion)
Crimson Force Field : A ruse used by Riker; it is actually the exhaust of the
  hydrogen collectors.  (Samaritan Snare)
Complete Klingon Culture Index : Wesley consults it to learn about the Klingon
  Age of Ascension.  (The Icarus Factor)
Computer, Enterprise : Voice of Majel Barrett.
Computer Virus : A viral program that was transmitted through the log of the
  USS Yamato attacks both the Enterprise's software and that of the Romulan
  vessel Harkona.  It is destroyed by a full shutdown and erase of affected
  memory.  The program originated on Iconia, though not necessarily intended
  with malice.  At first, Geordi believes it a design flaw.  (Contagion)
Containment Unit : A device that Geordi LaForge replicates aboard the Enter-
  prise to transport the plasma plague.  (The Child)
Charnock's Comedy Cabaret : The comedy club that Data creates in the holodeck.
  After programming it with an audience that laughs at everything he says, he
  realizes that humor is something he may never comprehend. (Outrageous Okona)
Craps : A game that Data learns at the Hotel Royale.  By discovering that the
  dice are improperly balanced, Data is able to defeat the odds and win enough
  money to buy the hotel and spread around to its patrons.  (The Royale)
Darnay's Disease : A fatal illness that Graves suffers from. (Schizoid Man)
Denasian : Language belonging to the Iconian family.  It comes from the planet
  Deneus Three.  (Contagion)
Dewan : Language belonging to the Iconian family.  (Contagion)
Dilithium : Rare metallic crystal that initiates the warp drive effect.  It is
  dilithium that causes the problem in the Selcundi Drema sector.  It also pro-
  duces the rare isotope Ilium 629.  (Pen Pals)  There are only a few crystals
  of dilithium in the Hathaway's clamps, demanding Geordi's necessity for more
  antimatter.  (Peak Performance)
Distress Beacon : An SOS received from the Ficus Sector; took Starbase research
  hours to determined the source.  Received the previous month.  Used by Euro-
  pean Hegemony from 2123-2190.  (Up the Long Ladder)
"Dream of the Fire, The" : Written by Karatok.  According to Worf, the book
  did not achieve fame until in the hands of the Klingons.  Worf gave it as a
  going-away gift to Data.  (The Measure of a Man)
Dreams, Riker's : Instigated by Pulaski to cause endorphins to save his life.
  They are restricted to clips from past shows: ones that reminisce on friend-
  ship (Encounter at Farpoint, The Dauphin, The Icarus Factor), to passion
  (Justice, Angel One, 11001001, Up the Long Ladder), to loss (Skin of Evil,
  The Child), to violence and primal emotions (A Matter of Honor, Conspiracy,
  Symbiosis, The Last Outpost, Heart of Glory, Loud as a Whisper, The Naked
  Now, Unnatural Selection).  The dreams aid in saving his life.  (Clips shown
  in Shades of Gray)
Dreman Home : Resemble homes carved from rock, but the technology is high: the
  doors, for example, dissolve by touch.  (Pen Pals)
Eichner Radiation : A pecular form of radiation emitted by subspace phase in-
  verters or synoacrillates.  The "child" Ian is also a source; the radiation
  causes the strain in Module L-73 to grow.  (The Child)
Elevators : A primitive form of turbolift activated by the touch of a button,
  which Worf doesn't seem to understand.  (The Royale)
Emergency Transponder : A small capsule-shaped device Worf gives to Riker to
  aid him on his Pagh journey.  Riker uses it to lure Kargan to the Enter-
  prise.  (A Matter of Honor)
Endorphins : Medical term for a vital part of the endocrine system of the hu-
  man body; they are affected by emotions and they eventually wipe out the
  microbes infecting Riker.  (Shades of Grey)
Energy Vortex : A powerful vortex with a presence at its center, one acting not
  on consciousness but rather on instinct.  It creates a time loop that the
  Enterprise narrowly escapes, but sends a double of Picard back in time to
  meet the Enterprise six hours before.  (Time Squared)
Enterprise Systems : The Deuterium control conduit and Dilithium crystal cham-
  ber are both parts of the Engineering systems; the transporter uses a matter
  energy conversion control.  Superconducting Magnet (SCM) model three is
  something for use on the warp engines.  The Enterprise also has magnetic
  seals on the matter/antimatter bottle; during emergencies the seals drop and
  the m/am purge begins, though it is a malfunction wherein the seals did not
  drop that destroyed USS Yamato.  (The Dauphin, Contagion)  An analytical
  team from Starbase Montgomery comes aboard to investigate malfunctions, but
  their prognosis is a simple reprogramming, Data's original proposal.  (The
  Icarus Factor)  The automated fire system is a forcefield that contains fire
  until oxygen is used up; computers sense localized increase in heat and com-
  bustion.  (Up the Long Ladder)  Each ship has its own code; Worf taps into
  the Enterprise's to fake the appearance of a Romulan ship.  Data changes the
  code, which is the sign that the Ferengi vessel attacking the Enterprise is
  real.  (Peak Performance)  The transporter mechanism detects microbes and
  infections and prevents anyone beaming up to the ship.  (Shades of Gray)
European Hegemony : A Terran government who used the SOS signal the Enterprise
  received.  One of the first steps in true world government.  (Long Ladder)
Fate : According to Picard, it "rejects fools, children and ships named Enter-
  prise...."  (Contagion)
Ferengi : One of the Federation's chief adversaries.  A Ferengi vessel, the
  Krik'ta, attacks the Enterprise and the Hathaway while both have their wea-
  pons disconnected in the Braslota system.  (Peak Performance)
Five-Card Draw : Data can't understand the purpose of the bluff in this game,
  but against the odds he is beaten with a poker face.  (The Measure of a Man)
Flu Virus : A crewman picked it up at Nazreldine; Pulaski's therapy is tripto-
  phane lycene distillate and a "generous dose of P.C.S.", also known as Pulas-
  ki's Chicken Soup.  (The Icarus Factor)
Gakh : Serpent worms, a Klingon delicacy best when served live. (Honor)
Galactic Exploration : Wesley comments that only 19% of the galaxy is charted
  as of yet.  (The Dauphin)
Galactic Zoological Catalogue : It categorizes a shapeshifting being as an al-
  lasomorph, of which the Daledi are typical stock.  (The Dauphin)
Gambling : A concept that Data doesn't seem to understand, though he imitates
  it quite well.  He plays poker on the Enterprise and fails to comprehend the
  concept of the "poker face" and plays blackjack and shoots craps at the
  Hotel Royale and seems to get the hang of it.  (The Royale)
Gateway : An Iconian invention, a method of instantaneous travel that garnered
  them the names "demons of air and darkness."  (Contagion)
Ghiamon : An exotic language spoken by Flaherty.  (The Icarus Factor)
Glob Fly : A Klingon fly, half the size of an Earth mosquito with no sting and
  an apparently unpleasant buzzing.  (The Outrageous Okona)
Grenthamen Water-hopper : Geordi asks if Riker has ever "popped the clutch" of
  this type of vessel.  He compares it to stalling Hathaway. (Peak Performance)
Guile : Worf says that it is all one has when one is outgunned, outmanned and
  outequipped.  It is "good old Klingon guile" in Riker's opinion that saves
  both the Enterprise and the Hathaway from the Ferengi.  (Peak Performance)
Gulliver's Travels : Riker compares the Atlek/Streleb situation to this popu-
  lar fable.  (The Outrageous Okona)
Honor : The Klingon system is shaped around Honor.  Klag's father will die
  without honor because he was captured, while the Pagh's tactics officer's
  father died with honor because he died in battle.  Riker removes Kargan's
  honor when he is captured during the Pagh's battle.  (Matter of Honor)  The
  Oath of marriage is more than a point of honor for Worf.  (The Emissary)
Horses : In addition to earth horses are Andorian sivalthu and Klingon sarks.
  The Arabs believed Allah gathered the south wind and made the horse, a legend
  that Deanna believes has come true in the holodeck.  Picard likes horses for
  the romance; he notes that fine warhorses would sleep in a Bedouin's tent,
  carry him into battle, feed his children with her milk -- a bond created by
  mutual need for companionship, not a pet.  Picard rides a horse in the holo-
  deck with an English tack.  There is an old horsetrainer's adage: "too much
  weight on a young back will break it under pressure," very much analogous to
  Wesley's first command.  (Pen Pals)
Hot Chocolate : Sonya Gomez spills it on Picard.  (Q Who)
"The Hotel Royale" : A novel written by Todd Matthews in the early 21st centu-
  ry, it was about patrons of a Las Vegas hotel caught in a web of crime and
  intrigue, with a bell boy fighting a gambler for the affection of a woman
  named Rita and a man helping a woman kill her husband.  It began, "It was a
  dark and stormy night...."  The Hotel Royale was manifested on a methane
  plain on Theta Eight in an atmosphere bubble and trapped Riker, Worf and
  Data inside.  It was actually created by a group of aliens who wanted to
  give Col. Stephen Richey something familiar to live his life in.  The "game"
  is solved when Riker discovers the answer: he buys the hotel.  (The Royale)
House of Hanover : An earth royal line, all of whose members had hemophilia.
  Riva's line, who are all deaf-mutes, is similar.  (Loud as a Whisper)
Humor : A human trait that Data cannot understand.  Both the Comic and Guinan
  attempt to help Data comprehend; the Comic tells him that Tip O'Neill in a
  dress, words that end in "k", a briefcase that looks like a fish, etc., are
  funny yet Data does not understand.  Eventually, Data realizes that humor is
  not, as Guinan puts it, the end-all, be-all of human existence.  (Okona)
Humor : Worf says that some use it as a shield; they talk much, but say little.
  (The Emissary)
Hydrogen Collectors : The big red areas on the front of each of the Enterprise
  warp engines, they can also project hydrogen.  Riker uses this to bluff his
  way through the Pakled incident.  (Samaritan Snare)
Icobar : Language belonging to the Iconian family.  (Contagion)
Iconians : The long-dead people of Iconia, now 200,000 years extinct.  The
  Iconians were known as "demons of air and darkness" and traveled by way of a
  gateway which allowed instantaneous transport.  They left their mark on at
  least three planets and were known as conquerors, though Picard believes the
  assumption to be incorrect.  Captain Varley appropriates an Iconian relic on
  Deneus Three and deduces the location of the planet from it.  (Contagion)
Ilium 629 : Isotope produced from dilithium.  (Pen Pals)
Imzadi : A Betazoid term meaning "my beloved".  (Shades of Gray)
Jarada : Riker comments that the Pakleds are not like them.  (Samaritan Snare)
Jewel of Thesia : Prized jewel of the planet Streleb, in the Coalition of Me-
  dina, it is thought to have been stolen by Captain Okona.  In actuality, it
  was taken by Benzan, son of Streleb leader Kushell, to present to Atlek girl
  Yanar as a wedding gift.  (The Outrageous Okona)
Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Office : The branch of Starfleet responsible
  for making and enforcing law. The JAG Officers in Sector 23 are Captain Phi-
  lipa Louvois and one terrified ensign.  (The Measure of a Man)
Klingons : Now allies of the Federation.  Q says they are nothing compared to
  other galactic dangers.  They never bluff, says Worf, though this is proved
  wrong when Worf bluffs K'Temoc into believing he is in command.  They also
  never faint.
Klingon Age of Ascension : A ritual of great significance, representing the
  rite of a Klingon's spiritual attainment.  It is a day spent with one's fel-
  low Klingons.  Two rows of Klingons stand and deliver pain sticks to the one
  undergoing the ceremony, while that Klingon utters his most profound feelings
  while under duress; it is a test of courage.  Worf's 10th anniversary is
  handled in the holodeck by Wesley, Data, Geordi, Pulaski and O'Brien, and he
  succeeds admirably.  (The Icarus Factor)
Klingon Calisthenics Program : A battle simulation in the holodeck; level one
  is enough for K'Ehleyr, but level two is far more dangerous, and Riker and
  Worf tackled a level far above this.  (Where Silence Has Lease, The Emissary)
Klingon Courting Rituals : Women roar at their men and throw things, while men
  read love poetry, according to Worf.  (The Dauphin)
Klingon Delicacies : Such foods as Pippius Claw, Heart of Targ, Breget Lung,
  Rokeg Blood Pie and, of course, Gakh.  (A Matter of Honor)
Klingon Language: Exotic; spoken by Flaherty.  (The Icarus Factor)
Klingon Legend : There is a legend that speaks of a black space creature that
  swallows worlds.  Obviously Worf's belief in this is reinforced by the ap-
  pearance of Nagilum's void.  (Where Silence Has Lease)
Klingon Love Poetry : It 'does not translate well', says Worf.  It is during
  the tea that it reaches its 'fullest flower'.  (Up the Long Ladder)
Klingon Pain Sticks : Used in the Age of Ascension ceremony, long rods that
  emit pain.  O'Brien once saw one used against a two-tongued Repteen Malopod,
  which died of excessive cephallic pressures; his head exploded.  (Icarus)
Klingon Sark : -see- Horses.
Klingon Tea Ceremony : The Klingon tea is deadly to humans and not good for the
  Klingons; it is a test of bravery, of looking death in the eye, and Pulaski
  knows all about it.  In the tea, love poetry achieves 'fullest flower', and
  Pulaski shares it with Worf.  (Up the Long Ladder)
Knitter : A medical device aiding bone reconstruction.  (Contagion)
Kuma Maneuver : Used by the Enterprise, a recognizable ploy. (Peak Performance)
Lairons : -see- Malkis Nine (in Location Guide)
"Linear Models of Viral Propagation" : The definitive work on the subject,
  written by Dr. Katherine Pulaski.  (Unnatural Selection)
Medical Terminology : Enterprise and other medical facilities employ sterile
  fields, neutral calibers, tissue medicators.  Doctors comment on myocardial
  enzyme balance, thoractic polychromatics and metabulation occlusions when
  operating on Captain Picard at Starbase 515.  (Samaritan Snare)  Tripophane
  lycene distillate is a therapy for Nazreldine flu virus.  (The Icarus Factor)
Memory Erasure : Memory is stored chemically; Pulaski discerns the age of each
  chemical link to selectively erase Sarjenka's memory.  (Pen Pals)
Microbes : Parasitic life forms that attach themselves to Riker's nerves when
  he is infected on Surata Four.  They first affect his great psiatic nerve
  and then move toward the cerebral cortex, weakening his autonomic nerve sys-
  tem.  They thrive on passion, but are slowed by feelings of despair and are
  destroyed by primal emotions.  (Shades of Gray)
Microbiotic Bacteria : A new life form that feeds on the minerals in a ship's
  hull, it nearly destroys the Pagh and the Enterprise.  The bacteria itself
  is destroyed by a tunneling neutrino beam.  (A Matter of Honor)
Module L-73 : The module in the containment unit carrying the plasma plague
  that is affected by Eichner radiation.  It contains a mutated strain deve-
  loped by Dr. Susan Noress during an outbreak of plasma plague 70 years be-
  fore in the Obie System.  It was number nine in a series of 58 tests.  The
  strain begins to grow after the radiation affects it.  (The Child)
Moebius Loop : A time loop that Worf describes, a twist in the fabric of space
  and time.  (Time Squared)
Molecular Cybernetics : A specialty of Dr. Ira Graves and Dr. Noonian Sung, it
  is a new engineering concept.  (The Schizoid Man)
Neutral Zone : The buffer region of space between the Federation and the Romu-
  lan Empire.  The lost planet Iconia lies here.  (Contagion)
Norsicans : A trio of these thugs jumped Picard when he was an Academy cadet,
  and nearly killed him, piercing his heart.  (Samaritan Snare)
Oath, the : The Klingon ritual of mating and marriage; Worf succumbs to it but
  K'Ehleyr refuses it.  (The Emissary)
Officer Exchange Program : A Starfleet program that brings Ensign Mendon to
  the Enterprise and Riker to the Pagh. (A Matter of Honor)
Opti-cable : Fibre-optic cabling; Worf pulls it off the ceiling for Nagel for
  use in the Hathaway's control panels.  (Peak Performance)
Owan Eggs : Pulaski and Geordi don't think they taste very good when Riker
  cooks them for the two; Worf thinks them delicious.  (Time Squared)
Pakleds : A race of relatively benign humanoids with poor language skills. One
  Pakled captain seizes Geordi LaForge who is assisting them in the repairs of
  their ship.  The Enterprise discovers that the Pakleds are not as docile as
  they have let on.  They have a replicator and want to tap the Enterprise's
  computers.  They steal from the Romulans, Klingons, Jarada. (Samaritan Snare)
Parrot's Claw Case : A case Dixon Hill and Rex were involved in.  (Manhunt)
Parsteel : A rod that Data bends in court is made of this, which has a tensile
  strength of 40 kilobars.  (The Measure of a Man)
'The Phase' : The Betazoid menopause, in which a female's sex drive quadruples.
  While on the Enterprise, Lwaxana is undergoing this.  (Manhunt)
Phaser Range : A holodeck creation where Enterprise officers can go for target
  practice.  Riker and Picard end up there.  (A Matter of Honor)
Pinocchio : The fairy tale that Riker likes to use to refer to Data. (Measure)
Plasma Plague : Various strains developed over the years that are stored at
  medical facilities on 'aucdet nine to aid in development of antidotes. Such
  a remedy was needed to cure a plague on Rachelis.  (The Child)
Poker : Played twice in a game room on the Enterprise; in both situations Seven
  Card Stud is played.  Data misterns folding as 'bending', while Worf doesn't
  comprehend the system of betting used.  (The Measure of a Man, The Emissary)
Positronic Brain : The Asimovian theory of artificial intelligence.  Data won-
  ders if Maddox has corrected the problem of electron resistance across neu-
  ral filaments, evidentally a problem in recreating this.  (Measure of a Man)
Poteen : Brewed Earth liquor that Bringloidi men like.  (Up the Long Ladder)
Prime Directive : Federation adage put to the test when Data violates the rule
  of non-interference by contacting Sarjenka of Drema Four.  It is ultimately
  negated when Picard discerns that Sarjenka's call is actually a plea for as-
  sistance.  (Pen Pals)
Probe, Enterprise : Two are sent into the Void; none return.  The second was a
  Class One with full sensor array.  (Where Silence Has Lease)
Probe, Iconian : Blue orb launched from Iconia that unwittingly transmits the
  computer virus.  It is controlled from a computer center on the planet.  The
  code for launch is blue-amber-amber-red; the code for overriding the launch
  bay doors is blue-blue-blue.  (Contagion)
Project, Wesley's : Wesley's grade in plasma physics is dependant on a project
  that he uses the ruse of beaming over to stop to really return it to the Ha-
  thaway.  It gives Geordi the needed amount of antimatter. (Peak Performance)
Psychotronic Stability Examination : A Starfleet test that Troi puts Data
  through when Picard first suspects that something is wrong following his
  trip to Graves' World.  (The Schizoid Man)
Rapakh Unguhr : Klingon childhood ailment, similar to measles, the solution to
  which is a ritual involving fasting.  (Up the Long Ladder)
Replicative Fading : Symptom of cloning where subtle errors creep into the
  chromosomes and eventually produce a non-viable clone.  (Up the Long Ladder)
Replicator : A device to create virtually anything via transporters; the Pak-
  leds have one, so Geordi learns.  (Samaritan Snare)
Replicator : Medical instrument; Pulaski tells Geordi she'll be able to use
  this to reconstruct his optic nerve.  Geordi declines.  (Loud as a Whisper)
Repteen Malopod, Two-Tongued : O'Brien once saw a pain stick used against this;
  its head exploded due to excessive cephallic pressures.  (The Icarus Factor)
Resonator : A device to emit harmonics to shatter the lattices of dilithium
  under the surface of Drema Four.  It is a modified Class 1 probe put into a
  torpedo casing to burrow into the planet.  (Pen Pals)
Restraints : Electronic beams used to restrain sickbay patients. (Time Squared)
Room Service : Calls Worf on the Hotel Royale telephone.  (The Royale)
Romulan Empire : Sworn enemies of the Federation.  Q says they are nothing
  compared to other galactic dangers.  Riker comments that Pakleds aren't like
  them as well, though he on other occasions puts them in the same breath as
  the Ferengi and the Jarada.
Romulan Language : Exotic; spoken by Flaherty.  (The Icarus Factor)
Rosetta Stone : A historical earth relic; Varley compared the Iconian relic he
  found on Deneus Three with it due to his successful location of that lost
  planet.  (Contagion)
Secondary Tractor Beam : Smaller version of the ship's main beam, located in-
  side each shuttle bay.  (Time Squared)
Sentience : Maddox argues that there are three guidelines to sentience -- in-
  telligence, self-awareness and consciousness.  Picard manages to prove that
  Data possesses both of the first two.  (The Measure of a Man)
Seven-Card Hi-Lo : Kate Pulaski is obviously good at this.  (Measure of a Man)
Sherlock Holmes Stories : Among the representations in the holodeck were the
  Emerald Tie Pin (presented by Queen Victoria after he solved the theft of
  the Bruce Pardington plans), Whitaker's Almanac (provided the key to the
  secret code in the Valley of Fear), the snuff box of Wilhelm Gotsliegh Sig-
  ismund von Olmstein, the Holmes Violin (purchased at a pawn shop at Totnam
  Court Road for 55 schillings), Mr. Javez Wilson (an employee of the Red-
  Headed League, duke of a gang of criminals, who was nearly killed by a poi-
  soned snake hanging from a bell) and Reichenbach Falls, where Holmes could
  only defeat Moriarty at the cost of his own life.  (Elementary, Dear Data)
Shuttle Bay Two : One of the ship's primary shuttle staging areas.  It is here
  that the Repulse shuttle leaves Dr. Pulaski; also, the El-Baz ends up here
  when picked up by tractor beams.  (The Child, Time Squared)
Sign Language : Ancient method of communication.  Data learns five forms, one
  being "designation M-9", to deal with Riva.  (Loud as a Whisper)
Slingshot Effect : A method of time travel practiced by former Enterprises,
  Picard considers this to be the answer to the problem of the El-Baz and the
  double Picard-2.  (Time Squared)
Solari : The inhabitants of Soleis Five, caught up in a war that has lasted 15
  centuries.  Both factions call for Riva, the great mediator, who eventually
  vows to help them when his Chorus is killed by teaching both sign language;
  in learning to talk to him, they'll communicate with each other.  (Whisper)
Spinning Wheels : An earth invention that fascinates Data. (Up the Long Ladder)
Splint : An antiquated earth device that Pulaski recommends when the knitters
  fail in sickbay.  (Contagion)

  Dr. Beverly Crusher is now head.  (The Child)
Stargazer Courtmartial : The legal hearing following the destruction of the
  USS Stargazer, Picard's former command, presided over by Philipa Louvois.
  It was due to this that she was forced out of Starfleet. (Measure of a Man)
Strategema : A game played on a holographic board in three juxtaposed squares
  and using ten controls per person attached to each fingertip.  Kolrami is a
  third level grand master at this game and Riker challenges him - and loses
  quickly.  To deflate his ego, Pulaski makes Data challenge him but Data loses
  the first game.  Eventually, Data realizes his shortcoming and challenges
  Kolrami to a rematch, learning the point of the entire Battle Simulation in
  the process: he "busts him up" by playing to stay even, not win like Kol-
  rami...arguing for the theory of the "balance of power".  (Peak Performance)
Stroierian : An exotic language spoken by Flaherty.  (The Icarus Factor)
Styrolite : A material made to encase people in suspended animation for fear of
  contamination.  Pulaski transports David to the shuttlecraft in such a ca-
  sing.  (Unnatural Selection)
Synthehol : The Ferengi substitute for alcohol; Danilo O'Dell does not like it
  and prefers real drinks like whiskey.  (Up the Long Ladder)
Targ : A Klingon pet.  (The Schizoid Man)
Tea : Earth drink; it is when a flower is produced instead of tea in the ship
  fabricators that Picard suspects something is amiss.  Picard orders it "tea,
  Earl Grey, hot".  (Contagion, Pen Pals)
Ten-Forward : A new facility on board the Enterprise, located in Forward Sec-
  tion One on Deck 10.  It is a bar / lounge for officers and crew and is

  Kirk; Kyle was at a starbase advising Starfleet in their conflict with the
  Tholians when it was attacked and he was the only survivor.  (Icarus Factor)
  Riker once challenged a Tholian vessel by hiding in its blind spot in a bat-
  tle simulation.  (Peak Performance)
Thorn : Like a Janus thorn, a part of a predatory vine that infects Riker on
  Surata Four.  The vine's structure is reminiscent of a biological form called
  risomothis.  (Shades of Gray)
Tin Man : From "The Wizard of Oz"; Graves compares Data to him, in the refe-
  rence of the man who wanted to be human "if he only had a heart". (Schizoid)
Toaster : Philipa Louvois compares this antiquated machine to Data, whom she
  also considers a piece of technology.  (The Measure of a Man)
Tolupian Maneuver : Used by Riker on the Hathaway to counter the Kuma maneu-

  the Pacifica conference.  (Manhunt)
Van Doran's Technique : Cardiac replacement technique, perfected to only a 2.4
  percent mortality rate.  (Samaritan Snare)

  nel it to the main engines.  (Samaritan Snare)
Vermicula : Antedian food, vaguely resembling fish.  (Manhunt)
Victory Model : As mentioned in the USS Victory entry, Geordi created a model
  of the old sailing ship.  Picard commented that it was "Ship Shape and
  Bristol-Fashioned".  (Elementary, Dear Data)
Violence : Troi notes that there are some traits still inherent to gender, such
  as the violence between Will Riker and Kyle.  (The Icarus Factor)
Void : A region of space used by the alien Nagilum as a laboratory to study

Wormhole Phenomenon : A strange fact of outer space travel; the Void doesn't
  resemble this.  (Where Silence Has Lease)
Zakdorns : A race that has for nine millenia been regarded as having the grea-
