Olympic class

The ***Olympic* class** was a type of Federation starship in service during the late 24th century. Ships of this type were used both by Starfleet and various civilian organizations, such as the Daystrom Institute, primarily as hospital ships or scientific research vessels. (TNG: "All Good Things..."; DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels"; *DS9* novel: *The Missing*; LDS: "Cupid's Errant Arrow")

The class entered service around 2360, was still active into the 2410s. (LUG: *The Price of Freedom*; *Star Trek Online*)

Odysseus class

*For similarly named articles, see Odysseus (disambiguation).*
The ***Odysseus* class** was a type of Federation starship that entered service circa 2280. The class was a test-bed for experimental developments in warp drive, running parallel to "The Great Experiment" with transwarp of the original USS *Excelsior*.

The *Odysseus* class featured curved warp nacelles, which lent the ship a more "boxy" appearance than other contemporary designs like the *Excelsior* class and *Columbia* class. However, the new nacelle and engine designs did not provide any significant advantage, and the class design was abandoned by the end of the 2280s. Eight vessels of the class were constructed, but by 2311 only two were left in service, one of which was the USS *Agamemnon*. (*Star Trek: The Lost Era* novel: *Serpents Among the Ruins*)

Pergamum Nebula

The **Pergamum Nebula**, or simply **the Pergamum**, was an expansive, dense and volatile nebular cloud in the Alpha Quadrant. Due to its "hellish" nature, human cartographers named it after the metaphorical location of "Satan's throne" in the Book of Revelation.

While the Pergamum was close to established space lanes, as well as the smaller and much less dangerous Ionite Nebula, few vessels that had entered the region had ever returned, and probes had returned almost no valuable telemetry.

Travel into and out of the nebula was difficult for most starships, as alternating zones of various gasses and substances constituted a series of boundary layers that required adjustments to navigation and other ship's systems in order to compensate for the changes. It was nearly impossible for scans and subspace communications signals to penetrate from outside the nebula.

The Pergamum was beyond the mid-23rd century borders of the United Federation of Planets, and was largely uncharted. In 2256, the USS *Enterprise* was refit and equipped for a year-long survey of the nebula. (*DSC* novel: *The Enterprise War*)

Rutian

The **Rutians** were a humanoid species from the planet Rutia IV. By the 24th century, they were warp capable, and had longstanding trade agreements with the United Federation of Planets, though they remained independent.

In appearance, Rutians were generally indistinguishable from humans of Earth, though their hair coloration could be considered indicative. While the range of hair color was within the human norm, dark-haired individuals tended to have a prominent streak of white or grey hair, while lighter-haired individuals had a darker streak.

In the 2290s, the population of the planet's western continent sought independence from the government of the eastern continent, and were denied. This led to the formation of the Ansata separatist movement around 2296. Originally focused on demonstrations, strikes and political means, the Ansata eventually turned to violence, aimed at forcing the government to grant the western continent independence.

Riots, bombings, even murders and assassinations would continue into the 2360s, resulting in ever-escalating conflict with the Rutian police force. The Ansata were even known to bomb shuttlebusses of school children. Shortly prior to 2366, they began using folded-space transporters to carry out their insurgency.

In 2366, the Ansata abducted Dr. Beverly Crusher, and later Captain Jean-Luc Picard, while the USS *Enterprise*NCC-1701-D was delivering medical supplies to Rutia IV. In return for the hostages, they demanded a Federation mediator to settle their dispute. The Rutian government would not agree. Ansata leader Kyril Finn was killed during the rescue of the hostages. (TNG: "The High Ground")

In 2368, a Rutian archaeological vessel was the nearest ship to Dulisian IV when the Romulans faked a distress call from the planet in order to lure the *Enterprise* away from its position at Galorndon Core. (TNG: "Unification II")

Lorian (species)

The **Lorians** were a sentient, bipedal avianoid species from a planet in the Zenas Expanse.

First contact between the Lorians and the United Federation of Planets was made in 2402, when the USS *Voyager* discovered their world during a survey mission. Though warp capable, the Lorians were reclusive. They were open to exchanging diplomatic representatives with the Federation, but requested that starships keep away from their space without invitation.

Sometime after first contact, some Federation scientists theorized that the Lorians might be related to the Xindi, possibly a long-lost colony of the extinct Xindi-Avian subspecies. At the time, not enough was known about Xindi biology to either confirm or refute the hypothesis. (*Star Trek Online*: *The Path to 2409*)

New Chicago

**New Chicago** was a city on Cestus III.

New Chicago was established on Cestus III by the late 24th century. Its baseball team, the New Chicago Cubs, was part of the Cestus Baseball League. (*TNG* novel: *Articles of the Federation*; *Star Trek: Pendragon*: "Wanderers, Seekers, Warriors, Thinkers"; "Sometimes It Comes In the Clouds")

The Cestus III city was presumably named after the city of Chicago on Earth, as well as the settlement on Mars that had been established in the 22nd century.

Ophiucus system

The **Ophiucus system** (aka **36 Ophiuchi** or **Guniibuu**) was a trinary system of at least six planets, located approximately 19.5 light-years from Sol in Sector 008 of the Beta Quadrant. All three stars were K class orange dwarfs; the primary and secondary were quite close together, while the tertiary orbited at a much greater distance. The system also had at least six planets.

The system was colonized by Earth in the late 22nd century. In 2256, the Klingons tried to take the system, but were repelled by the USS *Discovery*. From that period through the 2260s, smuggler and con man Harry Mudd committed multiple crimes in the system. (*Star Trek: Star Charts*; TOS: "Mudd's Women"; TAS: "Mudd's Passion"; DSC: "Choose Your Pain")

Planetary classification

The following is a chart of the standard **planetary classification** system used by the United Federation of Planets.

## Notes

* This chart is mostly derived from classification system presented in *Star Trek: Star Charts*, and subsequently (mostly) adopted by canon, though some alterations have been made to incorporate additional data, including several sub-classes postulated by *The Final Frontier* fan fiction series. Notations have been made allowing conversion from the earlier classification system used by FASA and other earlier licensed sources.

Lembatta Prime

**Lembatta Prime** was a planet in the Lembatta Cluster in the Beta Quadrant, and member world of the United Federation of Planets.

On Lembatta Prime, a solar eclipse was marked as a major religious holiday, as were the days immediately preceding and following the eclipse. Such an event happened in April of 2380, and necessitated the rescheduling of a visit by Federation President Nanietta Bacco during her goodwill tour that month. Bacco did in fact visit Lembatta Prime during her tour, and held a "town hall meeting" while there. (*ST* novel: *Articles of the Federation*)

Orion system

The **Orion system** was a trinary star system in the Beta Quadrant. Its primary was **Pi3 Orionis**. Located in the Orion sector, the system consisted of three planets, the outermost of which was known as Orion Prime.

The Orion system was just under 10 light years from Coridan, and only 26.3 light years from Sol. While located within Federation space, it remained an independent system, and was the seat of the Orion Colonies and the Orion Union.(TNG novels: *The Persistence of Memory*, *Silent Weapons*, *The Light Fantastic*; *Star Trek: Star Charts*; *TOS* novel: *The Great Starship Race*)

The Orion Institute of Cosmology was located on Orion I, and the Bank of Orion was headquartered on Orion III. (VOY: "Good Shepherd"; *TNG* novel: *Silent Weapons*)

Odyssey

*For similarly named articles, see Odyssey (disambiguation).*
The ***Odyssey*** was an ancient literary work from Earth, attributed to the Greek poet Homer. Focusing on the titular Odysseus and his journey home after the fall of Troy, it was something of a sequel to Homer's earlier work, the *Iliad*.

The word *odyssey* itself eventually came to mean a long wandering, voyage or quest, whether physical, intellectual or spiritual, often marked by many changes of fortune.

Many centuries later, the myths of Odysseus would inspire Alfred, Lord Tennyson to write his own poem on the subject, *Ulysses* (the Roman name for Odysseus).

As a foundational work of human literature, the *Iliad* and *Odyssey* both were required reading at many schools and universities, for millennia after they were written. In the 23rd century, James T. Kirk and Spock had both read Homer's works. In the 24th century, Jean-Luc Picard, William T. Riker, Christine Vale, Timothy Sinclair and Ro Nevin were all well-versed in the story.

Several Federation starships were named after the *Odyssey*, as was the *Odyssey* class of the early 25th century.

Orelious system

*For similarly named articles, see Orellius.*
The **Orelious system** was a star system in the Beta Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy. In the 14th century, it was the site of the final battle between the Promellians and Menthars, which destroyed the system's ninth planet and created an asteroid belt from the rubble. The Rigel Highway ran close to Orelious. (TNG: "Booby Trap"; *Star Trek: Pendragon*)

In 2366, the USS *Enterprise*-D discovered the *Cleponji*, an ancient Promellian battle cruiser, intact within the asteroid belt. The vessel had been stranded there when all its energy was drained by Menthar aceton assimilators hidden within the asteroids. The *Enterprise* barely avoided the same fate, and destroyed the assimilator field and the *Cleponji* to avert any danger to future travelers. (TNG: "Booby Trap")

By the 2390s, rogue Nausicaans had set up a base in the asteroid belt. The Klingon Defense Force raided the system and destroyed the base in 2396. (STO: *The Path to 2409*)

## Background

* *Star Trek: Star Charts* conflates this system with the similarly-named Orellius system from the DS9: "Paradise". While this is not impossible, it seems unlikely, and *Star Trek: Pendragon* chooses to interpret them as different locations. Orelious would be pronounced *"oh-REE-lee-us"* or possibly *"OAR-lee-us"*, while Orellius would be pronounced *"or-ELL-ee-us"*.

Vobilin

**Vobilin** was an inhabited planet in the Alpha Quadrant, and the homeworld of the Vobilite species. Humans made first contact with Vobilin prior to the 2150s, and the planet became an early member of the United Federation of Planets shortly after its founding. (*ST* novel: *Star Trek: Year One*)

Talemstrae

The **Talemstrae** were a humanoid species from the planet Talemstra. Their civilization was renowned as peaceful, given to artistic pursuits, including music, sculpture, and dance.

Amarie, the pianist at Shern's Place (later Amarie's) on Qualor II, was a Talemstrae. (*TNG* novel: *Unification*; LUG: *Planets of the UFP*)

They were often confused for Terellians, as both species had four arms. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*)

*Though their homeworld was identified in the* Unification *novelization, the species itself was unnamed.*

Zeta Reticuli

**Zeta Reticuli** was a binary star system in the Sierra sector of the Beta Quadrant, just over 39 light-years from Sol, near the border of the Romulan Neutral Zone. It had at least five planetary bodies, and numerous moons.

In the 2150s, the United Earth Starfleet operated a space station in the system. (*ENT* novel: *Beneath the Raptor's Wing*)

By the 23rd century, the system was of great interest to Federation archaeologists, as evidence of multiple ancient civilizations had been found there. The Zeta Reticuli Orbital Research Facility was built circa 2276 to study the ruins and conduct additional scientific and medical research. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*; *TOS* novel: *The Romulan Way*)

In the 24th century, Starfleet maintained underground laboratories on the system's fourth planet. (*ST* novel: *Preserver*)

## Background

* Two moons of one of the system's gas giants feature prominently in the *Alien* franchise.
* The ruins on Zeta Reticuli II have a decidedly "Egyptian" look, indicating that they may have been Goa'uld in origin.

Maxia sector block

*This article is about the sector block. You may be looking for the smaller Maxia sector with in it..*
The **Maxia sector block** (informally, the **Maxia Sector**) was a large region of space in the Alpha Quadrant along the western edge of Federation space. It encompassed a number of individual sectors, including the Maxia sector itself, and was near or adjacent to the Orellius and Beta Ursae sector blocks. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*)

The region was named for the Berengarian constellation Maxia. (*TLE* novel: *The Buried Age*)

Aside from the Federation, the Cardassian Union, Ferengi Alliance, and Ubarrak Primacy all held territory or interests in the region, with several unclaimed border sectors contested between them in the 2320s and 2330s. The Balduk and the Ollayans also had worlds in the area, and the Tzenkethi Coalition was nearby. (*STA* novel: *Oblivion*; *Maker*, et. al; *Kal-Dixas Spaceport*; *Star Trek: Star Charts*)

The nexus energy ribbon passed through the region every 39.1 years on its journey across the galaxy.

Typhon sector

The **Typhon sector** was a region of space in the Beta Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy. It was on the coreward edge of Federation space in the 24th century, and lay along the so-called "Borg Vector." A large portion of the sector and surrounding areas was dominated by the massive Typhon Expanse. (*Star Trek: Star Charts*; *Star Trek: Pendragon*)

In 2373, a Starfleet armada under the command of Admiral Jeremiah Hayes engaged a Borg cube in the Typhon sector, and pursued it all the way to Sector 001. (*Star Trek: First Contact*)

Sagan class

The ***Sagan* class** was a type of Federation starship operated by Starfleet during the late-24th and early 25th centuries. A four-nacelled design, it followed in the lineage of the **Constellation* class*. (PIC: "The Star Gazer", "Farewell", "Vóx", "The Last Generation"; *PIC* novel: *Second Self*)

It was the second class of starship named for Carl Sagan, the first being a mid-24th century variant of the earlier *Oberth* class. (FASA: *Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual*)

Mastocal

**Mastocal** (**Sigma Kinna IX**) was the ninth planet in the Sigma Kinna star system in the Klingon Empire. It was the only Class M world in its system, and was the location of a major Klingon military base in the mid-23rd century. (FASA: *The Klingons: Game Operations Manual*, *The Orions: Book of Common Knowledge*)

The Klingons annexed Mastocal during the Four Years War, and began construction on the base shortly after the war's end. It was completed in 2259, becoming the largest Klingon Defense Force base built at that time, and marking the Empire's return to a state of war-readiness equal to what it had been before the recent conflict with the Federation. (FASA: *Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update*, *The Klingons: Star Fleet Intelligence Manual*)

From the base on Mastocal, the Klingons planned to spread their influence into Federation space. However, the Organian Peace Treaty put an end to those plans in 2267. Nevertheless, the KDF continued to build up Mastocal in preparation. The base eventually grew to cover the entire planet, and housed manufacturing plants in addition to the barracks and training facilities. No ship construction yards were present, however, though extensive repairs could be made to any Klingon vessel in either the orbital or ground-based docking facilities. (FASA: *The Klingons: Game Operations Manual*, *The Orions: Book of Common Knowledge*)

The **USS Helios** was a *Drexler*-class frigate in Starfleet service during the early 233rd century. During the 2230s and 2240s, her commanding officer was Captain Zachary Matuzas.

Early in their careers, Deigo Reyes and Daniel Okagawa also served aboard the *Helios* under Matuzas' command, though their service only overlapped by twelve days before Reyes transferred to the USS *Belleau Wood*. Years later, Lieutenant Gabriel Lorca served as security chief of the *Helios* under Matuzas from 2243 to 2246. (*SCE* novel: *Distant Early Warning*; *DSC* novel: *Drastic Measures*)

Uncharted Territories

The **Uncharted Territories** was the Sebacean name for an expanse of unexplored space near the Gamma Quadrant-Delta Quadrant border, beyond Peacekeeper jurisdiction in the 21st century. The massive region was some 60,000-90,000 light years from Earth, and home to numerous sentient species. In addition to the Sebaceans, local or nearby races included the Delvians, Hynerians, Luxans, Nebari, Relgarians, and Scarrans, as well as the spaceborne biomechanoid Leviathans and their Pilots, among many others.

Almost directly opposite Federation-local space in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, the two regions were visually-occulted from each other by the galactic core.

Maximilian Eilerson

Dr. **Maximilian "Max" Eilerson** was a 23rd century human archaeologist, who worked for Interplanetary Expeditions and consulted with Starfleet. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*)

Eilerson was born on Mars in 2215. A child prodigy, he had a gift for understanding technology and languages, and his "smart mouth" would often get him in trouble with bullies at school. His parents raised him in virtual seclusion, though he sometimes "escaped" his tutors to explore the city within Mars Dome One.

By early adulthood, he held four academic degrees, and had established himself as a xenoarchaeologist and linguist. He married art dealer Cynthia Allen, but they soon divorced when he joined Interplanetary Expeditions and their careers took them in opposite directions.

In 2267, Dr. Eilerson led an archaeological dig on Ceti IV, which had once been the home of an advanced civilization some 10,000 years before. The expedition discovered one of the planet's ancient underground cities. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*)

## Background

* Dr. Eilerson was created as a homage to the character of the same name from the *Babylon 5* spin-off *Crusade*, created by J. Michael Straczynski.
Vandor IV

**Vandor IV** was a planetoid in the Vandor system, in a remote part of the galaxy (from the Federation's perspective). In 2351, Dr. Paul Manheim chose Vandor IV as the site for his time experiments. Those experiments eventually went wrong, and in 2364 the Manheim Effect began to spread across the galaxy until the time window that had been opened was closed by Lt. Commander Data of the USS *Enterprise*. (TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris")

Taratimude

The **Taratimude** were an avian humanoid species from the Alpha-Beta Quadrant region of the Milky Way. They were tall and had great, stiff wings that hung in folds from their arms, with long, tapered fingers. Possessing a form of organic technology, they explored their local stellar neighborhood; however, they were believed to have gone extinct circa the 14th century.

According to legend, the Taratimude founded the Order of Technomages among a group of disparate species, but they themselves eventually fell to infighting which led to their downfall.

*In Valen's universe, in the 13th century, the Taratimude's primitive organic tech was upgraded by the Shadows, who sought to use them as agents of chaos. When the Taratimude discovered what the Shadows planned for them, they rebelled and used their now-advanced cybernetics to found the Techno-mages.* (*Babylon 5* novel: *Casting Shadows*)

USS Ostia (NCC-82655)

The **USS *Ostia* (NCC-82655)** was a *Vesta*-class Federation starship in Starfleet service during the late-24th and early 25th centuries.

The *Ostia* was launched from Aurora Borealis Incorporated Shipyards in 2397. She was the first vessel of the *Vesta*-class' second wave, and was sent out on a deep space exploration mission under the command of Captain Sobav of Vulcan. Her initial mission sent her beyond the Tholian Assembly toward the Pleiades Cluster and the NGC-2359 emission nebula, some 12,000 light years from Federation space; the *Ostia* was able to cover that distance in under two months, thanks to the ship's quantum slipstream burst drive. (STA: *Utopia Planitia Starfleet Sourcebook*)
USS Rabin (NCC-63293)

The **USS *Rabin* (NCC-63293)** was an *Akira*-class Federation starship in service with Starfleet during the 24th and 25th centuries. (*Star Trek: First Contact*; Decipher: *Starships*; PIC: "The Star Gazer", "Farewell")

The vessel was named for 23rd century Starfleet Captain Nechama Rabin. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*)

During the 2370s, the *Rabin* discovered a micro-wormhole near Technis IV, and later went on to chart the Bellis Expanse. (Decipher: *Starships*)

In 2401, the *Rabin* was part of a Starfleet armada assembled in response to the Borg's emergence from a spatial anomaly. (PIC: "The Star Gazer", "Farewell")

## Background

1. ↑ The ship's name and registry come from John Eaves' ship scale chart for the film, as a "backup" name for the USS *Thunderchild*. It then appeared in the Decipher RPG, and was finally canonized in the second season of *Star Trek: Picard*.

Y'Varian sector

The **Y'Varian sector** was a region of space in the Beta Quadrant along the spinward frontier of the Romulan Star Empire, bordering the territory of the Taurhai Unity. During the 24th century, it was a contested area and the site of many conflicts between the two powers. (LUG: *The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire*)

Ophiucus III

**Ophiucus III** was one of two Class M planets in the Ophiucus system, the other being Ophiucus VI. Though the planet had no native fauna, it had extensive plant life. The Federation established an agricultural colony there circa 2212. (TOS comic: *Leonard McCoy, Frontier Doctor*)

The planet was still considered a frontier world in the 2260s, when Harry Mudd planned to transport wives to settlers there. (TOS: "Mudd's Women")

By the 2290s, the city of New Dakar had been established on the planet, and was known for its artist's community. (*TOS* novel: *The Fire and the Rose*)

USS Sally Ride (NCC-74710)

The **USS *Sally Ride* (NCC-74710)** was an *Intrepid*-class Federation starship that entered service in 2371. She was the third ship of her class to be launched. Under the command of Captain Rafael Martinez, her primary mission profile was as a science vessel. (*Shield of Tomorrow*: "The Pull, Part 1", "Becomes the Lion")

The ship was a "pet project" of Admiral Norwell Nash, who wanted to make sure Starfleet maintained its focus on science and exploration even in the face of the looming Dominion threat. After the Leyton Affair in mid-2372, Admiral Nash assigned the *Sally Ride* to a six-month exploratory mission of the Shackleton Expanse in order to remove the ship from the potential theatre of war. (SOT: "Out of Bounds, Part 1")

Shortly after the cease-fire between the Federation and the Klingon Empire in early 2373, the *Sally Ride*, along with Narendra Station, the USS *Dauntless*, and a Romulan warbird, were trapped in a temporal anomaly that held them in temporal stasis for roughly eighteen months. They emerged in 2374, suddenly finding themselves in the middle of the Dominion War, shortly after the fall of Betazed. The *Dauntless* was recalled to the front lines, but the *Sally Ride* remained on station in the Shackleton Expanse. To assist in her mission, she underwent refit, which included ablative armor and upgrades to major systems. (SOT: "The Battle of Narendra Station", "The Madwoman In a Box", "A Galaxy on Fire", "The Refit")

By the 2410s, the *Sally Ride* was commanded by Captain T'Lan, and assigned by Admiral Campbell to assist operations in the Narendra sector. (*Star Trek Online*)

Yarlin

**Yarlin** was a village (or city) on Bajor, close to the Perikian Mountains. A boy was found there by Ro Talia circa 2360. She took the boy to the local monastery, where Vedek Winn Adami served in the records office. Winn found that the boy's parents had been killed in the Kendra Valley massacre, and he had no other living relatives. Talia decided to take the boy in, naming him after her father. Winn adjusted the records, and the boy became known as Ro Nevin.

That night, they slept in an alley in Yarlin. The following day, the Cardassians rounded up the homeless Bajorans. Talia and Neven were loaded onto a transport, and relocated to a labor camp. (ODY: "A Light In The Dark")

*Based on inference gathered from a variety of sources, it is likely that Yarlin was in Makar Province, or possibly in Kendra Province, though far away from the Kendra Valley.*

Odanian

The **Odanians** were a sentient non-humanoid, Cetacean species. They were Federation members by late 24th century. (*Clear Skies*: "SB-24")

## Physiology and psychology

Physically, Odanians were large, averaging at least 6 meters in length, and were similar in appearance to Earth's dolphins, specifically false killer whales, though slimmer, with darker gray skin. They could not survive out of water.

Their brains had a remarkable ability for spatial acuity, making them excellent at navigation, pattern recognition and scientific theory.

The Odanian language consisted of a series of clicks and whistles, again similar to dolphins, as well as higher frequencies and multiple wavelengths. Were a dolphin to hear an Odanian's calls, it would sound like two dolphins were "speaking" instead of one.

Odanians were known to be friendly and curious, and historically, were highly amused by the similarities between themselves and the dolphins of Earth. Likewise, they also found interacting with humanoids who visited their aquatic environment amusing. (*Clear Skies*: "SB-24")

## Within the Federation

Odanians were renowned as navigators and some of the most gifted physicists within the Federation.

Some Odanians served as Starfleet officers in the 24th century. In 2381, 22 Odanians led by Dr. Yata joined the crew of the USS *Ross* at Starbase 24, comprising the ship's Cetacean Operations department.

Odanians serving aboard Starfleet vessels typically had L-shaped neural implants on either side of their heads that allowed them to connect with the ship's computer cores and utilize the universal translator's vocorder capabilities, allowing them to speak with the humanoid crew. (*Clear Skies*: "SB-24")

## Appendices

### See also

* Streethians
* Delphine

### Background

* The Odanians were created by Eric Campbell for *Clear Skies*. On his Twitch livestream, he said that his approach to the Odanians was that they were first encountered by the Federation "fifty or sixty years" ago (circa the 2320s), when they were discovered by a Starfleet survey team, and instantly able to communicate via the universal translator. A relationship between the two groups began, with the Odanians sharing their knowledge of theoretical science with the UFP. The Odanians allowed the Federation to construct an outpost and small colony on their world, and eventually, the Federation Council decided that due to their unique situation and advanced scientific knowledge, that the Prime Directive did not apply to the Odanians despite their lack of warp technology. They subsequently became Federation members.
* Campbell went on to say that he created the Odanians because he missed the Streethians, a similar species he had created for *Shield of Tomorrow*.

Tirrion

The **Tirrions** were a humanoid species from the planet Tirria. By the 24th century, their world was a member of the United Federation of Planets. (DS9 game: *Harbinger*)

Most Tirrions had only a single name, with no surname. Imbibing alcohol was deleterious for Tirrons, who would lose consciousness after consuming only a small amount.

They had a reputation as "natural diplomats," and their cultural doctrine espoused that any conflict could be solved using words. As such, violent crime was all but unknown on their world. A well-known Tirrion phrase was: "Peace is many voices arguing."

It was rare for Tirrions to be anything other than strictly pacifistic, even in self-defense. One exception was Envoy Bannik, a member of the Federation Diplomatic Corps in 2371. An investigator and crisis specialist, he undertook extensive security training, was highly proficient in both armed and unarmed combat, and even enjoyed holodeck combat programs; all traits which were highly unusual among his species. He would go on to enter Starfleet Academy to pursue training as a tactical officer. (DS9 game: *Harbinger*)

*Bannik was a first-person POV character in* Harbinger*, and no other Tirrons were encountered. As such, no images or description of the species exist.*

Solosos III

**Solosos III** was a planet in the Demilitarized Zone between the Cardassian Union and the Untied Federation of Planets. By 2373, it was home to a Maquis colony.

That year, Captain Benjamin Sisko used the USS *Defiant* to poison the planet's atmosphere with trilithium, in response to Michael Eddington's use of biogenic weapons against Cardassian colonies on Quatal and Veloz Prime. The Maquis began an evacuation shortly thereafter, and the planet was settled by refugees displaced from the two Cardassian colonies. (DS9: "For the Uniform")

Watchtower class

The ***Watchtower*-class** was a type of Federation starbase introduced in the mid-23rd century. These space stations were considered to be major bases of operations for Starfleet along the frontier, and functioned as hubs for colonization efforts and many other mission profiles. They typically took four years and nine months to construct. (*VAN* novel: *Harbinger*; TOS: "The Ultimate Computer")

## Layout

The *Watchtower*-class station had a typical 23rd century Federation design. A saucer-shaped primary hull, with a central command tower, sat atop a secondary hull which housed cargo bays and maintenance sections. Circling the core about halfway down was an external docking wheel, and at the bottom was the energy reactor housing and multi-spectrum array.

### Command tower

The command tower housed shuttlebays accessible through four pairs of equidistant spacedoors, a medical center, offices and the operations center.

### Primary hull

The primary hull contained four main docking bays in its spacedock, each large enough to service a *Constitution*-class starship. Above the spacedock was a terrestrial enclosure encircling a residential tower. Below that were support facilities, crew quarters, the computer core torus and four deuterium fueling tanks. The external hull mounted four maneuvering thrusters, 128 lifeboat ports, six phaser/photon torpedo emplacements, and had four shuttlebay access points.

### Secondary hull

The upper secondary hull was mainly made up of cargo and maintenance facilities, and supported the external docking wheel. The lower hull was comprised of the energy reactor and the rotatable mount for the multi-spectrum array. Six phaser/photon torpedo emplacements were equally spaced around the energy reactor housing. (*VAN* novel: *Harbinger*)

Thelin th'Valrass

**Thelin th'Valrass** was a half-Andorian/half-Aenar *thaan* who served as a Starfleet officer during the 23rd century. One of his bondmates was Thali sh'Dani. (TAS: "Yesteryear"; *TOS* novel: *The Higher Frontier*)

In 2278, Thelin held the rank of Commander and served as liaison officer between Starfleet and Andorian Homeworld Security. He was stationed at Starfleet Sector Headquarters in the Andoria system. During a crisis that year, he received a field promotion to Captain and assumed command of the USS *Charas*. (*TOS* novel: *The Higher Frontier*)

## Alternate timelines

In an alternate timeline that diverged in 2237, Commander Thelin served as first officer and chief science officer aboard the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701) during the vessel's five-year mission from 2265 to 2270. (TAS: "Yesteryear"; *Myriad Universes* novel: *The Chimes at Midnight*)

In the *Crucible* timeline, Thelin served as first officer of the USS *Ticonderoga* for a year, until he was killed in an avalanche while surveying an unexplored planet. (*TOS* novel: *The Fire and the Rose*)

Tyrheddan

The **Tyrheddans** were a humanoid species from the Alpha Quadrant. They had leathery, brown skin layered in folds, with tiny, round ears and a single eye. Tyrheddan voices were typically "gravelly" to human ears, and their laugh sounded like stones grinding together.

Tyrheddans were well-known to the Federation by the early 24th century, and were among the residents or merchants on the orbital city of Oblivion. Some served also served in Oblivion's constabulary. (*Star Trek: Stargazer* novel: *Oblivion*)

## Background

* The Tyrheddans are among many races created by author Michael Jan Friedman, and featured as supporting or background characters in several of his *Star Trek* novels. Like most of his creations, little information is known about them.

Starbase 84

**Starbase 84** was an *Ournal II*-class Federation starbase active during the 24th century. It orbited a planet in or near the Triangle, and was not far from the Klingon Empire and Romulan Neutral Zone.

The USS *Enterprise*-D visited the starbase in 2364, and again in 2370 when a new warp core was installed aboard the ship. (TNG: "Heart of Glory", "Phantasms").

Thaddeus Troi-Riker

**Thaddeus "Thad" Troi-Riker** was the son of William T. Riker and Deanna Troi, and older brother of Kestra Troi-Riker. He was born in 2381 and raised on starships, including the one his father captained, the USS *Titan*. Three-quarters human, and one-quarter Betazoid, he inherited more of his mother's telepathic abilities than his sister.

According to his mother, he became fascinated by the idea that people had homeworlds, and invented one of his own, called Ardani. He created at least twelve languages for his fantasy world, which he shared with his family.

Around the age of 10, circa 2391, he was diagnosed with mendaxic neurosclerosis. Without an active positronic matrix in which to culture a cure, the condition was terminal. His parents left Starfleet, and the family moved to Nepenthe in hopes the planet's regenerative properties would help. Unfortunately, they did not, and he died five years later in 2396. (PIC: "Napenthe")
