Mummy

A mummy was a corpse that was exceptionally well-preserved as a result of natural or artificial processes.
Vulcans practiced mummification as early as the 9th century BC, with the remains of Haadok at P'Jem being one example. () The mummified body of the Vulcan kolinahr master T'Klaas was preserved in the T'Karath Sanctuary. () According to , it was the "really important" Vulcans who were mummified. ()
Klingon mummies were identifiable by a particular mummification glyph. () Some entrepreneurs on Maranga IV claimed to have Molor's mummified head on display for a fee of fifty darseks per person. ()
On Tulgana IV in 2381, a Tellarite visitor to the Independent Archaeologists Guild recruitment booth asked Petra Aberdeen if they ever got to touch mummies. She replied, "All the time." ()
Later that year, Aberdeen told Beckett Mariner, who had joined her after resigning from Starfleet, that she had a lead on some ancient Vedalan mummies. Mariner was enthusiastic, remarking, "They're not gonna dig up themselves, right?" Aberdeen replied that had happened only "once or twice" before. ()
