Operation Con Game

Kirk and Spock invade a Klingon warship in – OPERATION CON GAME!
== Summary ==
:"Captain's log, stardate 3504.7. While exploring a neutral sector near the Klingon Empire, sensors have picked up rare but familiar emanations."
Investigating readings of dilithium crystals near the Klingon border, James T. Kirk and party are stunned by Klingons, who have a mining contract with Harry Mudd.
:"Captain's log, stardate 3504.5. We have suddenly found ourselves enmeshed in one of the biggest swindle-schemes in the history of the galaxy."
Mudd has swindled the Klingons by pretending to be the owner of the planetoid the dilithium was deposited on. He also reveals it is an artificial, and unstable, version of the precious crystal developed by a scientist of Mudd's acquaintance. Kirk, Dr. McCoy, and Spock try to convince Mudd to return the gold to the Klingons, and Kirk and Spock beam over to the Klingon vessel, the Ectacus, but Mudd kidnaps McCoy and rats them out. After proving that the dilithium was unstable to the Klingon commander, Kirk and Spock disable them and return to the Enterprise and chase Mudd's ship down to an asteroid and use their tractor beam to draw him in. They return the gold to the Klingons and throw Mudd into the brig.

Operation Watson

Operation Watson was an effort undertaken as part of the Pathfinder Project in the 24th century. It was the first attempt by Starfleet Communications in 2378 to successfully create a communications link between Earth in the Alpha Quadrant and the , thirty thousand light years away in the Delta Quadrant. The project itself was devised by Harry Kim and Seven of Nine, who coordinated with Reginald Barclay. 
It involved bouncing the signal off a quantum singularity using the Mutara Interdimensional Deep Space Array System. In the Delta Quadrant, a phased tachyon beam containing an encoded triaxilating signal was detected. This could sustain a live link for eleven minutes each day. 
On stardate 54732.3, Barclay and Admiral Owen Paris from Starfleet Command successfully communicated with Captain Kathryn Janeway for the first time. ()
On stardate 61945.4, Ilthuran was able to use the Sacagawea's communication system to send a message to the in 2385. He was able to use the Operation's subspace relays to reach Admiral Janeway and his daughter Gwyndala before he was captured by Asencia and her forces.()

Operations officer

The operations officer, sometimes shortened to ops officer, also known as the operations management officer or operations manager was a Starfleet department position within the operations division which was common in the 23rd and 24th centuries. Operations officers manned the operations station on a bridge. (; ; )
As analytical operations relied upon knowledge of science and engineering disciplines, operations officers often performed the additional duties of a science officer in their absence. (; , etc.) The operations officer role, sometimes known simply as "ops" was its own department within the operations division, that was altogether separate from engineering and security. ()
On the starship , Lieutenant Jenna Mitchell served as the operations officer and doubled as navigator. ()
On the starship , Lieutenant Commander Data served as the operations management officer and doubled as second officer, the most senior member of the ship's crew after the captain and first officer. () On the starship , Operations Officer Ensign Harry Kim was the most junior bridge officer. () Ensign Danby Connor served as the ops officer aboard the . ()
In a 2371 holodeck simulation of Deep Space 9's operations center, Nog was assigned at the operations officer on duty as part of his Starfleet Academy entrance exam. ()
In an alternate timeline, Daniel Byrd was the operations officer on Voyager instead of Harry Kim, who had remained on Earth. ()

===Background information===
Both the terms "operations manager" and "operations management officer" were used on the personnel files that appeared on (the former in the remastered episode, the latter in the original) but never mentioned in dialogue, which otherwise stated, in the same episode, that Data was the "operations officer".
Much of the information about the writers' intentions for the "operations manager" position, which was introduced through , was established in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Writers'/Directors' Guide, and later was adapted into data for the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual.
The Star Trek Roleplaying Game Player's Guide describes the operations officer as a consummate master of technology.

Ophiucus III

Ophiucus III was the inhabited third planet of the Ophiucus system . This planet was located in the Alpha Quadrant and was approximately 19.4 light years from Sol.
== History == 
In the mid-2260s, it was a frontier planet.
In 2266, there was an Earth colony on Ophiucus. Women were scarce enough at this colony that intergalactic rogue Harcourt Mudd saw an opportunity in bringing them in from other worlds. (; )
In 2328, it was the point of embarkation for passengers traveling to Organia via commercial transport. , Michael J. Lim, and Zoey Pentacoff traveled there on the . (, okudagram)
== Appendices ==
=== Background information ===
This planet's quadrant of origin is inferred based on the position of its star system as seen in the star chart appearing in the episode .
In the final draft script of "Mudd's Women", references to this planet in the final version of that episode were instead to Ophiucus VI.
The and StarTrek.com classified Ophiucus III as a class M planet. (The authors believed it was Ophiucus III which was mentioned in "Mudd's Women", not Ophiucus VI.) 
According to Star Trek: Star Charts ("United Federation of Planets I"), Ophiucus III was a Federation member in 2378.

Ophiucus IV

For the episode , UI graphic designer Dominique Rossier created an info panel for the mess hall depicting the Milky Way Galaxy with planet and Starfleet space station locations labeled. Identified as a planet, Ophiucus IV was one of the locations mentioned on the chart. This planet was presumably in the Ophiucus system. Although the panel did not appear in the episode, it can be seen at Rossier's artist page at Art Station.

Ophiucus system

The Ophiucus system, also known as the 36 Ophiuchi system, was an inhabited planetary system in the Alpha Quadrant. It was a trinary star system consisting of the stars 36 Ophiuchi A/Gunibuu, 36 Ophiuchi B, and 36 Ophiuchi C. 36 Ophiuchi A/Gunibuu and 36 Ophiuchi B together formed a binary star system.
The Ophiucus system had at least six planets, including Ophiucus III and Ophiucus VI. (; ; )

Oprelian amoeba

The Oprelian amoeba was a type of unicellular lifeform. They fed on paramecia.
In 2378, Q briefly turned into an Oprelian amoeba as a punishment for his rebellious behavior. He then informed Q Junior that the Q Continuum would see him exist as an amoeba for eternity unless he changed his ways. ()

Optical data network

An optical data network (or ODN) was a system of fiber optic cables on board starships and space stations that was used for transfer between computers and remote terminals. There were large bundles of optical cables connecting the redundant computer cores.
In 2368, a Satarran starship's advanced sensor system was able to match the frequency of the 's optical data network in order to access the ship's computer system. After the Satarrans were able to erase the memories of the crew, Geordi La Forge accessed the basic system directories of the Engineering Department. According to the department, the optical data network had partial function with crew mode delta. ()
In 2369, Miles O'Brien had not been able to find ODN access on Deep Space 9 by the time Benjamin Sisko arrived several days after him. ()
In 2371, Commander Chakotay reported that the nucleogenic cloud being knocked out the 's optical data network. ()

Optical diagnostic

An optical diagnostic was a type of medical diagnostic that focused on the eye. 
In 2368, after Geordi La Forge came into sickbay with symptoms of an inner ear infection, including dizziness, Dr. Beverly Crusher, on a hunch, ran an optical diagnostic which traced the problem to his VISOR, which was causing a phase shift in his visual receptors. The condition made him see images, or as he described them, "blurry after-images", that weren't really there. Crusher then ran a scan to detect what he was seeing, and was able to pick up minuscule distortions in the surrounding dekyon field, distortions which the VISOR translated into visual impulses. ()

Optimist

An optimist was a individual who looked for the positive outcome in difficult situations.
In 2376, when discussing whether Liam or Harry Kim would emerge victorious in an arm wrestling competition, "Katie O'Clare" expressed her belief that Kim would win, despite Michael Sullivan noting that nobody had beaten Liam in three years. When Michael suggested "Katie" was an optimist, she countered that she was a realist. ()

Optolythic data rod

An optolythic data rod was Cardassian technology used to store information and records, including holo-recordings. These data rods were unique in that they were only produced on an as-needed basis, and information could only be inscribed on them once and could not be altered thereafter. As a result, these data rods had a reputation for being a secure way to store sensitive data. They were extraordinarily difficult to obtain, and nearly impossible to counterfeit.
They were long, thin and cylindrical in shape and unlike standard isolinear rods which were a translucent dark amber, optolythic data rods were clear with a light blue tint.
In 2374, Garak, acting under instruction from Captain Benjamin Sisko, managed to obtain an optolythic data rod as part of an elaborate plot to bring the Romulans into the Dominion War. The source demanded 85 liters of bio-mimetic gel, which Sisko wanted to refuse but was persuaded not to since the rod was necessary for the plan's success and obtaining it was "a minor miracle." Sisko and Garak had the forger Grathon Tolar implant a fabricated holo-recording of Dominion officials plotting the invasion of Romulus onto the rod, under threat of rescinding the pardon Sisko had negotiated for Tolar from Chancellor Gowron (who'd previously sentenced the forger to death) and returning Tolar to the Klingon Empire to face execution.
Unfortunately, Romulan Senator Vreenak discovered the data contained on the rod to be a fake, and threatened to expose the deception to the Romulan Sentate. However, Garak had previously sabotaged his shuttle, suspecting the Romulans would see through the forgery, and arranged for the rod to survive intact, albeit damaged, so that when the Tal Shiar examined the debris and found the rod, the imperfections in the forged recording would be dismissed, and it would appear that Vreenak was assassinated to prevent the information from getting back to Romulus.

Orb (disambiguation)

Orb may refer to:
* Orb, one of several artifacts created by the Prophets
** Orb of Contemplation
** Orb of Prophecy and Change
** Orb of the Emissary
** Orb of Time
** Orb of Wisdom
* Orb (species), a type of photonic lifeform
* Orb (Species 10-C), a technology used by Species 10-C
Orb of Time

The Orb of Time was one of the nine Tears of the Prophets delivered to the Bajoran people by the wormhole aliens. Capable of transporting an object or person through time and space, it produced a characteristic surge of chronitons when doing so. The Orb was taken by the Cardassians during their occupation of Bajor, and was only returned in 2373.
In that year, the Cardassians, who were under siege by the Klingons at the time, contacted Starfleet with an offer to return the Orb. As the was transporting the Orb back to Bajor, Arne Darvin, a Klingon spy who had been surgically altered to appear Human, used it to transport the Defiant back in time to the year 2268, where he intended to change history by assassinating James Kirk. Captain Sisko and his crew, however, were able to foil Darvin's plot, while minimizing their participation in historical events. ()
Upon its return to Bajor, the Orb of Time was kept at the Temple of Iponu. In 2374, Major Kira, using her relationship with Captain Sisko, the Emissary of the Prophets, to gain access to the Orb, used it to travel back in time to 2346 and investigate Gul Dukat's claim that he had a relationship with Kira's mother, Meru. Upon learning that Dukat was telling the truth, and that her mother did indeed engage in a relationship with him, Kira attempted to change history by assassinating both Dukat and her mother. When she learned, however, that her mother was only staying with Dukat in order to secure her family's safety, she aborted the plan and saved Meru's and Dukat's life. Upon coming to terms with her mother's actions, she was returned to her proper place in time. ()
Use of the Orb of Time was controlled by the Vedek Assembly and the Department of Temporal Investigations. Using the orb to change history was forbidden and considered a violation of the Temporal Prime Directive which could have serious consequences. ()
In 2385, with the timeline of the prime universe dying, Wesley Crusher used a device made with the Orb of Time and modified time crystals to determine where Dal R'El, Rok-Tahk, Jankom Pog, Gwyndala, Murf, and Zero had to go next to fix the timeline in the single eventuality that would allow the universe to survive without endless suffering. When Dal looked into the data stream, he got a glimpse of his own future, but Wesley couldn't find a possible future where they succeeded until he realized that Maj'el was the missing variable. Once Wesley calculated where the group needed to go, the machine opened a portal to it for them. ()

Orb shadow

An orb shadow was a vision that affected people who had had experiences with the orbs of the Prophets. They could occur a very long time after the orb experience, and were said to happen when that person was going against the will of the Prophets, to set them back on the path. Medically, they could be described as hallucinations caused by an excess of neuropeptides in the person's system.
Benjamin Sisko experienced an orb shadow in 2372, some three years after his first orb experience. Former Kai Opaka appeared in this vision. ()

Orbiculus

Orbiculus was a massive photonic construct formed in 2382 from the amalgamation of the entire delegation sent to the for peace talks with their longtime enemies, the s. It was assembled at the climax of the shape war between the two photonic species.
The battle between Orbiculus and its Cube counterpart, Omegacube, endangered the Cerritos, which was caught between them. Ensign Olly devised a way to modify the ship's tractor beam to work on photonics by redirecting an electromagnetic field into the nacelles. This allowed the Cerritos to drain the energy from both constructs, forcing them to decompose back into their constituent Orbs and Cubes. ()
