Wadi

The Wadi were a spacefaring humanoid species from a planet in the Gamma Quadrant. They were characterized by large symbols on their foreheads. ()
==History==
In 2369, a Vulcan ship made first contact with the Wadi. Three weeks later, a Wadi ship arrived at Deep Space 9 with a diplomatic delegation, the first from the Gamma Quadrant. However, the Wadi were only interested in gaming at Quark's. After being cheated at dabo by Quark, the displeased Wadi demanded that he participate in a new, "honest" game, Chula. The game trapped Benjamin Sisko, Kira Nerys, Jadzia Dax, and Julian Bashir in a perilous virtual reality that paralleled the course of the game in the real world. After the game was finished, the Wadi leader Falow revealed that they were never in any danger. ()
In 2381, Falow and a female companion operated a recruitment booth at a fair on Tulgana IV that offered various games and toys, including Chula, three-dimensional chess, Ktarian games, Bat'leths & BiHnuchs, and wearable Ferengi ears. After being heckled into a furious rampage, Ensign Brad Boimler yelled at them, "You're always getting people trapped inside of games. Stop trapping people inside of games!" ()
==Society and culture==
The Wadi had an unusual preoccupation with games and gambling. Their signature game was Chula, which was played both with pieces on an elaborate board and by a second set of players within a virtual world generated by the gameplay. Items valued by the Wadi included klon peags, stick-like objects that they apparently had "many uses" for, alpha-currant nectar, and gemstones. Wadi leaders were titled "Master Surchid". ()

Walking

Walking was the process of moving along using one's legs, at a default speed (as opposed to running, which was faster).
Pets such as dogs were taken for a walk. Jonathan Archer often took Porthos for a walk in the time following the beginning of his anterograde amnesia. ()
In most humanoid species, individuals were born unable to walk and gained the ability in their late infancy. When Benjamin Sisko was getting bored of discussing the Dominion, he asked if Kirayoshi O'Brien had learned to walk. Miles O'Brien responded in the negative. ()
Walking was often performed as a type of excursion, done for pleasure or exercise, simply by walking somewhere, like in a park, for example.
In 2266, aboard the , Eve McHuron claimed to Captain James T. Kirk that she had been on a walk when she became troubled by the behavior of the male crewmembers who she thought were looking at her and following her with their eyes. Escaping the unwanted attention, she ran into the captain's quarters. ()
When Leonard McCoy, Hikaru Sulu and Nyota Uhura were trying to choose a program in Enterprises rec room in 2270, McCoy said he was in the mood for a walk in the woods. The others agreed. ()

Walter Baxter

Lieutenant Walter Baxter was a male Human Starfleet officer who served under Captain Kathryn Janeway aboard the when it was pulled into the Delta Quadrant in 2371.
As a workout enthusiast, Baxter suffered an injury that year while exercising in the ship's gymnasium. In sickbay, Baxter directed all his questions to Kes, and was quite dismissive of The Doctor, questioning whether or not a hologram could perform the duties of a flesh-and-blood doctor, such as perform surgery. Later, when Baxter reported to sickbay again for another workout-related injury, The Doctor informed him that, if he were to suffer another injury due to failure to restrain himself during workouts, The Doctor would be forced to discuss the matter with Baxter's superior officer, a statement which forced Baxter to acknowledge The Doctor as the chief medical officer. ()
When Voyager discovered a Human settlement on a planet in the Delta Quadrant, Captain Janeway decided to let any crewmember who so desired to remain behind. Theorizing about which members of the crew would decide to leave the ship, she speculated that Baxter would be one of them, describing him as a "risk-taker" who would be eager to take on the challenge of building a new life on the planet. Chakotay hoped he wouldn't leave, as he found the officer to be a good man. Neither Baxter nor any other crew member wound up leaving. ()
Later that year, Baxter was exercising yet again in the gymnasium, when Voyager encountered a spatial distortion ring. Attempting to reach the cargo bay, Baxter found that he could not navigate around the ship due to the constant reconfiguration Voyager suffered as a result of contact with the ring, and ended up in the transporter room, where he was encountered by Lieutenant Torres, who was trying to reach engineering. He tried repeatedly to round up his security team, but was unable to find them either. ()
Baxter served aboard the in 2384. He was listed as a crewmember on medical leave. He was confined to sick bay with a broken leg. ()
== Background ==
Baxter was played by actor Tom Virtue and wore a command division red uniform in his first appearance, but was in security and an operations division yellow uniform in his second appearance.
His first name was referenced in "The 37's", an episode he did not actually appear.
For "Eye of the Needle", Virtue filmed his scenes on Thursday on Paramount Stage 9 and is listed as "Baxter" on the call sheet. For "Twisted", Virtue filmed his scenes during second unit filming on Monday and Tuesday on Paramount Stage 9.

== Summary ==
;From the book jacket:
:There's a bar called "The Captain's Table," where those of any species who have commanded mighty vessels of every shape and era can meet, relax, and share a friendly drink or two with others of their calling. Sometimes a brawl may break out but it's all in the family, more or less. Just remember, the first round of drinks is always paid for with a story… even beyond the final frontier.
:Captain James T. Kirk must join forces with Captain Hikaru Sulu, new commander of the , to resolve a simmering political situation in a distant star system. For more than twenty years, the ancient enmity between Nykkus and Anjiri has resisted the best efforts of Federation diplomats. Now Kirk and Sulu have one last chance to end the bloodshed – before it erupts into a full-scale interstellar war!
== Background information ==
* When approached by Pocket editor John Ordover, L.A. Graf collaborators Julia Ecklar and Karen Rose Cercone were concerned that the shift to a first-person narrative – one of the principal selling points of the series – would not fit their usual method of aligning their differing writing styles to different characters; however, they were able to get around the issue by having both Kirk and Sulu appear. ()
* The alien species were inspired by the pair's leopard geckos. ()
* Deep Space 3 appears and Deep Space 2 is mentioned in the novel.

War orphan

War orphan was a term for children who were orphaned or abandoned in the wake of a conflict.
Many Cardassian children were abandoned on Bajor in the wake of the occupation. Some Bajorans accepted these children, such as Rugal and , as they did not blame the children for the misdeeds of the Cardassian government. ()
The term also applied to Bajoran children whose parents had died during the occupation. A charitable fund, the Bajoran War Orphans Fund, was established to help provide for the numerous orphans that were a legacy of the Occupation, both Bajoran and Cardassian alike. (, )
The Federation-Cardassian War left war orphans behind on Camor V. ()

Warp Speed Cellular Plasma - 1987 (podcast)

== Summary ==
:Science fiction requires a certain amount of science fact to make the stories believable. In the lead-up to The Next Generation, Gene Roddenberry sent a memo to the production team expressing frustration over the balancing act between the two. Jeff Stepp returns to The Trek Files to talk about the similarities in writing for drama and scientific documentary and the possible coolness of "deathstrings."

Warp plasma filter

A warp plasma filter was a warp engine component which needed to be cleaned periodically.
In 2373, after hearing Tom Paris complain about the Nekrit Expanse (or, as he called it, the "Negative Expanse") being boring Captain Kathryn Janeway suggested that if he was bored, he could clean the warp plasma filters. Paris quickly changed his tune. ()

Warp power

Warp power was source of used to operate a ship's warp engines, as the warp reactor was capable of producing what was described as "tremendous amounts of energy." () The amount of warp power applied to an engine's output determined the warp speed, i.e. velocity, at which a ship would travel. 
Warp power was generated by a combination of having an optimum balance in the matter-antimatter mixture ratio, followed by the specified reaction sequence, that lead to the magnetic plasma be transferred to warp field generators. Warp power could be boosted by increasing the speed of the parallel subspace field processor to gain a quicker response time. () 
Warp power was a consumable, its availability could be measured by percentage or converted to a time measurement. ()
As well, it could be combined with impulse power to allow for a "massive thrust" in the direction traveled. () 
Warp power could also be applied to other systems, including the shields/shield grid, tractor beam/tractor beam generator, sensor array, main deflector/main deflector dish, targeting scanners, phaser banks. (; , ; ; )

Warrant officer

Warrant officer was a type of rank used by Starfleet in the 24th century.
In 2384, Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway took on Dal R'El, Jankom Pog, Rok-Tahk, Murf, and Zero under her wing as warrant officers in training, as a compromise, due to refusal to let them formally enroll into Starfleet Academy as they felt it was unfair to the Federation citizens already on the waiting list. () The group and Gwyndala were later allowed to enroll into Starfleet Academy before it was shut down indefinitely because of the Attack on Mars. Afterwards, Janeway, Captain Chakotay and The Doctor gave the group field commissions as ensigns and the which had been turned into a training ship. ()
== Appendices ==
=== Background information ===
According to the personal notes of the movie-era Starfleet ranks designer, Robert Fletcher, "there is no warrant rank." (p. 11)
A '"Star Trek" Cast Ranks' memo from Rick Berman to Bill Theiss confirms the intention of having warrant ranks, whereas it was stated that the "C.W.O." ("Chief Warrant Officer") was described as having "1 Black Disk" (pip).
According to the , the insignia worn by CPO Miles O'Brien in 's first few years and enlisted Maquis on was supposed to represent a warrant officer, even though numerous dialogue references and general naval parlance about the ranks of those referred to would seem to contradict this.
The insignia for Voyagers provisional crewmembers were designed by Jim Magdaleno. He intended for the insignia with a single black line within the lozenge to represent the position of chief warrant officer.
