Sanaht

**Sanaht** was a Horta who served as representative from Janus VI to the Federation Council for most of the 24th century. He became a Councillor circa 2304, and remained in that position through 2380. He was well respected by his colleagues, but avoided high-profile sub-council appointments throughout his career. Regardless, Z4 Blue and Ashanté Phiri recommended to Federation President Nanietta Bacco that he be appointed to the government oversight council. The president rejected this recommendation.

Sanaht's Council staff consisted of fellow Hortas and Betazoids, because of the ease in using telepathy rather than vocoders to communicate with other species. In 2380, a female Betazoid named Rina Tran served as his chief aide, and represented him on *Illuminating the City of Light* in October of that year. (*ST* novel: *Articles of the Federation*)

Kondaii system

**Kondaii** was an inhabited star system in or near Federation space. As of 2385, it was the only known source of the mineral erinadium, which the system's indigenous species had been trading to the Federation and other powers for the previous century.

The Andorian freighter *Cereshta* transported shipments of erinadium from Kondaii to Arcturus during the 2380s. (*Star Trek: The Fall* novel: *Peaceable Kingdoms*)

Roulean system

The **Roulean system** was an uninhabited star system in the Tiber sector of the Beta Quadrant, well within the boundaries of the Romulan Star Empire. It had several planets, but none were life-sustaining. The system's most notable feature was the Roulean Belt, a large asteroid field, which became a pirate haven during the Phyrox plague crisis in the sector during the 2370s. (LUG: *The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire*)

Kellinite

**Kellinite** was a material used in starship construction.

The planet Aligar was rich in kellinite, though the planet's mining operations used slave labor. During the Dominion War, the Federation nonetheless entered into a trade agreement with Aligar for the material. (*ST* novel: *Articles of the Federation*)

In 2376, the Klingon vessel IKS *Gorkon* discovered rich kellinite deposits on the planet San-Tarah in the Kavrot sector. (*GKN* novel: *A Good Day to Die*, *Honor Bound*)

Shar'talan

The **Shar'talans** were a tall, pale green-skinned humanoid species native to Shar'tala'veb IV. A peaceful people that preferred art and commerce, they accepted the status of Federation protectorate to free themselves from maintaining their own defense force. This decision proved to be a poor one as they were caught unaware when the the Dominion swept through the Kalandra sector in 2374. Many Shar'talans managed to flee their world and retreated to locations deeper in the Federation for the duration of the Dominion War.

They were known for their delicate f'mootha paintings, which were widely sold throughout the Federation. (*The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon*)

Minos Korva system

The **Minos Korva system** was a Federation star system in Sector 21527, four light years from the Federation-Cardassian border, and eleven light years away from the McAllister C-5 Nebula.

The system was first surveyed in 2343 by the USS *Exeter* on stardate 20843. It consisted of a main sequence G-type yellow star and twelve planets, one of which was an uninhabited M-class world. Six months after the initial survey, the system was claimed by the Federation, who established a colony there.

The Cardassian Central Command declared its intention to annex the Minos Korva system in 2369, but backed down in the face of a strong Federation response. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part II")

Scorpius Reach

The **Scorpius Reach** was a large area of space in the Beta Quadrant stretching beyond Antares and the Upper Scorpius-Centaurus Association in the Beta Quadrant. The Reach was more than 800 light-years spinward and coreward (or to the galactic northeast) of Federation space. (*TLE* novel: *The Buried Age*)

Though long-range probes had made preliminary observations of the region, it was unexplored by Starfleet until the late 2350s. Even so, Captain Donald Varley was somewhat familiar with the region, having performed cursory surveys out in that direction. (*TLE* novel: *The Buried Age*)

Othan sector

The **Othan sector** was an area of space along the Romulan Star Empire's border with the Klingon Empire in the Beta Quadrant. It was considered a buffer region between the two interstellar powers, serving much the same function as the Federation Neutral Zone did along the Empire's westward border.

In the mid-24th century, the Romulans began "pacifying" (ie, conquering) the Othan sector as part of an ongoing policy of creating a strong defense along the Klingon border, and trying to provoke the neighboring Empire into a confrontation as a test of their strength. The Othan Campaign had strong support in the Romulan Senate into the 2370s, with many in the military seeing it as another opportunity to win greater glory for themselves in the name of the Empire.

The sector was home to the Othan Empire, a small interstellar power that held a half dozen or so systems in the region. The Othans were a humanoid, proto-Klingon race, with similar physiology and warlike attitudes. Romulan scientists speculated that they were an ancient offshoot of a lost Klingon colony, or perhaps arose from Klingon stock transplanted by the Hur'q or another alien race in the distant past. (LUG: *The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire*)

Quatel

**Quatel Prime**, often simply referred to as **Quatel**, was an M-class planet in the Jubel sector of the Romulan Star Empire. It was the homeworld of the Quatellian species, a Romulan client race.

Qua'no'los ("the Stone Heart") was the planet's largest and most spectacular mountain range. Its terrain sculpted by glacial flow, with high cliffs and deep canyons. The region, as with most similar areas, was filled with mines and factories, along with domed living facilities protected from the frozen climate. Nearly all planetary travel was handled by shuttles and other aircraft, since the terrain was too rocky, icy and treacherous for standard ground vehicles.

In the 2370s, Quatel's representative in the Romulan Senate was Senator Ferran Solos, a member of the Jol Tan Coalition and staunch supporter of the Tal Shiar. He was a rival of Senator Crassian D'mora of Justarus, and their feud often dragged both their worlds, and the entire sector into political intrigue. (LUG: *The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire*)

Sector 38-G

**Sector 38-G** was a region of space in the Beta Quadrant within the borders of the United Federation of Planets some 270 light-years from Sol. The area was explored and colonized by the Andorians prior to the 20th century. (LUG: *The Andorians: Among the Clans*)

## Locations

Cimera system • Enavoro system • Thalassa system • Trilith system • Ushilev Nebula • Vorna system
*According to* Among the Clans*, the Andor system itself was located in this sector, a fact which was contradicted by* Star Trek: Enterprise *and* Star Trek: Star Charts*.*

Ro Danar

*This article is about the Bajoran vedek. You may be looking for Roga Danar, an Angosian soldier.*

**Ro Danar** was a Bajoran vedek. He was the grandfather of Ro Gale and Ro Dakhurven, and the great-grandfather of Ro Laren and Ro Nevin.

A widely-regarded figure, he went missing during the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor. After his disappearance, he became something of a legendary figure and folk hero to the Bajoran people. His grandson, Dakhurven, followed his footsteps into the clergy, and had become a Vedek himself by the late 2350s.

In actuality, Danar was among a thousand Bajorans who were killed by Cardassians on Radjic VI in 2335 in order to cover up the illegal use of protomatter in a terraforming project on that world. He had collaborated with the Cardassians in hopes of sparing his people, but was betrayed by them.

Ro Danar's final fate was uncovered by Ro Nevin, Corey Aster and Hanar in 2380; Hanar was killed by Glinn Betras in order to cover it up, though Ro and Aster made sure the truth came out. (*Star Trek: Hidden Frontier*: "Grave Matters")

Khellian class

The ***Khellian* class** was a type of warbird that entered service with the Romulan Star Navy in 2375, and saw action during the final months of the Dominion War. Originally proposed as "Project Raptor," the ship was designed to carry large quantities of cargo, troops and equipment yet still be able to serve as a battle cruiser. The *Khellian* class was the first Romulan starship of over twenty decks capable of controlled planetary landing and takeoff. (*Bravo Fleet*)

New Montana

**New Montana**, also known as **Alpha Centauri B II**, **Toliman II**, or just **Centauri B II**, was a planet in the Alpha Centauri star system, in Federation space in the galaxy's Beta Quadrant. New Montana was the second planet in orbit of the star Alpha Centauri B. New Montana was Earth's first extrasolar colony. Zefram Cochrane, among its settlers, enjoyed naming the planet and many of its major geographical features. (*TOS* novel: *Academy: Collision Course*)

A temporary outpost was established on the planet by the mid-2060s, which by 2074 had grown and begun transitioning into a full colony. According to Cochrane, it took four years to build a self-sufficient farming community on the planet, which supported a fully-equipped continuum distortion research facility, which eventually became known as the Cochrane Foundation for the Study of Multiphysics. By 2078, the small colony was thriving, and Cochrane considered it his home. Micah Brack had helped fund the colony and the research facility, having convinced Cochrane that modern technology had made Earth too small, and that humanity's survival depended on "leaving the cradle." (*ST* novel: *Federation*)

Centauri B II had a single ocean, named the Welcoming Sea, which covered no more than ten percent of the planet's surface. The Landing Plains stretched down to the edge of the sea. Most of the planet's water came from underground reservoirs, resulting in low humidity. The planet also had a higher gravity than Earth, resulting in a "generation of weight-lifters" among the first children born in the colony. As they aged, especially approaching their fortieth birthdays, these children were prone to cardiac ailments and needed specialized medical care as their bodies fought against the heightened gravity. (*ST* novel: *Federation*)

As part of a trinary star system, Centauri B II had multiple iterations of standard seasonal activity. Primary winter was when the planet was exposed to the light of a single sun, and temperate vegetation and flowers flourished on the plains. Natural wood was in short supply on the planet, as rigid trees had not evolved there. Early colonists planted forests of engineered Earth pines, both for fuel and cellulose production, a process which would take decades to come to fruition. (*ST* novel: *Federation*)

In the late winter of its Northern Hemisphere, the stars Centauri A and Centauri B rose together near dawn. The planet hosted the Cochrane Institute on the northern island continent of Atlantis. Lilly's Ocean and the Rockier Mountains could be seen from its campus. (*ST* novel: *Captain's Glory*)

Rigel Highway

The **Rigel Highway** was the colloquial name of a common travel route between the core worlds of the United Federation of Planets and the distant regions around Beta Orionis. It was one of several such "warp highways" where warp speeds were greatly multiplied by an increased Cochrane factor and local subspace density. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*)

From Vega, the Rigel Highway passed Sol, Pi-3 Orionis, Beta Rigel and Risa, then turned to the galactic southwest past Aldebaran and Beta Aurigae to a point near Kazar, where it turned southeast towards the Mutara sector, passing through part of the Taurus Reach, skirting the edge of the Delta Triangle from Kessik (where the "Cestus Spur" branched off) to Bellatrix, through the Mutara region towards Betelgeuse, Rigel, and Mintaka beyond.

Whereas a direct trip between Earth and the Rigel system would take months or years at maximum warp, following the indirect but much faster route of the highway, the journey would only take a matter of weeks at cruising speed. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*; *Star Trek: Star Charts*)

By the 2360s, at high warp, the USS *Enterprise*-D could make the 1140 light year transit from Starbase 133 at Aldebaran to Mintaka in ten days. (calculations per TNG: "Survivors", "Who Watches The Watchers")

*That distance traversed during that interval would indicate an effective warp factor of at least 9.9975, or 41638.5 times the speed of light.*
The Orions and many others made use of this route for centuries before it was discovered by humans in the 22nd century. Most of the various "Orion homeworlds" that were settled and abandoned over the course of many generations lay along the route. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*; FASA: *The Orions: Book of Common Knowledge*)

In 2254, the USS *Enterprise* was following this route on its return trip from Rigel VII, when the ship diverted from its course to Vega to respond to a distress call originating in the Talos Star Group. (TOS: "The Cage")

*Covering the 883.5 light years between Rigel and Vega in roughly three weeks would indicate an effective speed value of warp 25 on the 23rd century scale, or 15366.59 times the speed of light.*
By the 2360s, at maximum warp on the Rigel highway, the USS *Enterprise*-D could make the 1140 light year transit from Starbase 133 at Aldebaran to Mintaka in ten days. (calculations per TNG: "Survivors", "Who Watches The Watchers")

*That distance traversed during that interval would indicate an effective warp factor of at least 9.9975, or 41638.5 times the speed of light.*
Beta VI, a Federation colony, was located near the Rigel Highway, some 900 light years from Sol, on the other side of a star desert. (TOS: "The Squire of Gothos", *Star Trek Maps*)
Prynn Tenmei

**Prynn Tenmei** was a female human Starfleet officer during the late 24th century. A pilot, she served during the Dominion War, and was later assigned to the USS *Defiant* stationed at Deep Space 9. (*DS9* novel: *Avatar, Book One*, *Twilight*)

Born in 2350, she the daughter of Elias Vaughn and Ruriko Tenmei, who both served in Starfleet Intelligence. She was named for her father's friend T'Prynn, and spent her childhood in Tuscany on Earth. (*DS9* novel: *Lesser Evil*)

She entered Starfleet Academy in 2369, shortly before her mother was killed in action during a classified mission against the Borg. Following her mother's death, her relationship with her father became strained.

Upon graduation, Tenmei was assigned to the USS *Mjolnir* as a flight controller, and served under Captain Kalena Hoku. The two became friendly, and Hoku taught Prynn how to surf, though she described the younger woman as "a bit intense." (*DS9* novel: *Twilight*)

During the Dominion War, Ensign Tenmei also served aboard the USS *Sentinel* under Captain Anna Maria Amalfitano, and piloted the *Akira*-class starship behind enemy lines. (*SCE* novel: *War Stories, Book 1*)

While serving aboard DS9 in 2376, she became friends with the station's science officer, Shar. (*DS9* novel: *Andor: Paradigm*)

Ktarian

**Ktarians** were a species of humanoids from the planet Ktaris, in the Alpha Quadrant. They were independent until the late 24th century, but were nonetheless long-standing allies of the Federation, and its precursor Coalition of Planets. (TNG: "The Game"; VOY: "The Voyager Conspiracy"; ENT: "Demons"; *TOS* novel: *Allegiance in Exile*)

Ktarian gestation lasted approximately 18 months. It was possible for Ktarians to produce offspring with humans. Hybrids such as Naomi Wildman were known to age through childhood rather quickly compared to humans. (VOY: "Deadlock", "Mortal Coil", "Fury", "Homestead"; *VOY* novel: *Full Circle*)

Prophets

The **Prophets** were non-corporeal lifeforms who resided in (and created) the Bajoran wormhole and existed outside the confines of linear space-time. Having been discovered by Benjamin Sisko in 2369, they were known to Starfleet simply as **wormhole aliens**.

They seemed to take a close interest in the planet Bajor and its people, for whom they formed the center of Bajoran religion, who knew the wormhole as the Celestial Temple, and to whom they sent their Orbs, which the Bajorans called "Tears of the Prophets". They claimed to be "of Bajor," though the exact relationship between themselves and Bajor was unknown, as were their origins. (DS9: "Emissary", "Accession", "Rapture", "Image in the Sand", et. al)

The Prophets' attentions were not limited to Bajor, and they were involved with several species in the Gamma Quadrant. To the Eav'oq of the Idran system, they were known as **Siblings**; the Ascendants knew them as **The True**; the Aresai mistakenly called them **Wargods**. There was also some (disputed) evidence which showed they may have contacted Cardassia Prime during the early days of the Hebetian civilization, and influenced the Oralian religion. (*DS9* novel: *Sacraments of Fire*, et. al)

Their influence extended even beyond the borders of the Milky Way, and they were known as the **Great Ones** to the Archein people of Andromeda. (*Star Trek: Odyssey*)

At some point, the Prophets expelled a number of their own kind, the Pah-wraiths led by Kosst Amojan, from the wormhole, trapping them in a prison the entrance of which was in the Fire Caves on Bajor. For millennia, the Pah-wraiths would seek to escape their prison, overthrow the Prophets, and take the Celestial Temple for their own. (DS9: "The Assignment", "The Reckoning", "Tears of the Prophets", "What You Leave Behind", et. al)

New Samarkand

**New Samarkand** was the capital city of Alpha Centauri III, a independent Earth colony, and later a member of the Alpha Centauri Concord and United Federation of Planets. It was one of the oldest human settlements on the planet. (*ENT* novel: *Kobayashi Maru*; *TNG* novel: *The Buried Age*)

The University of Alpha Centuari was located in **New Samarkand**. Among the cities other landmarks were two medical facilities: Our Lady of Significant Mercy Hospital and Archer University Hospital. (*TNG* novel: *The Buried Age*; *ST* novel: *A Singular Destiny*)

Nog

### Relatives

Ishka (paternal grandmother), Keldar (paternal grandfather), Dav (maternal grandfather), Gaila (father's cousin), Stol (father's cousin), Barbo (father's cousin)

## Extradiegetic

### Origin

*Star Trek: Deep Space Nine*

**Nog** was a Ferengi male born on Ferenginar in 2353. He was the son of Rom, stepson of Leeta, grandson of Ishka, and nephew of Quark. He lived part of his teenage years aboard Deep Space 9, and became the first Ferengi to join Starfleet. He served aboard the USS *Defiant* during the Dominion War, and lost his leg in the battle of AR-558. (*Star Trek: Deep Space Nine*, *Star Trek: Starfleet Academy*, et. al)

Nog remained in Starfleet for many years, and had numerous assignments. He served aboard the USS *Challenger* under Captain Geordi La Forge, and eventually rose to the rank of captain himself by 2395. (*TNG* novel: *Indistinguishable from Magic*; *Star Trek Online*: *The Path to 2409*; *Star Trek: Deep Space Nine*: *What We Left Behind*)

### Post-war

Following the end of the Dominion War, one of Captain Sisko's final acts was to promote **Nog** to full Lieutenant. After Chief Miles O'Brien left DS9 for his new post at Starfleet Academy, Lieutenant Nog succeeded him as the station's chief of operations. (*DS9* novel: *Avatar, Book One*, et. al)

Nog continued to serve aboard DS9 until after the Bajoran Militia took over the bulk of station operations in 2385, in response to Bajor's termination of their application for Federation membership. (*conjecture*)

By the mid-2390s, he had been promoted to Captain. In 2395, he was in command of the USS *Defiant*, which was still assigned to Deep Space 9. (*Star Trek: Deep Space Nine*: *What We Left Behind*)

He inspired many young Ferengi, like Arog, to follow in his footsteps and join Starfleet. By 2409, he was commanding officer of the USS *Chimera*, and was not above using his position as the son of the Grand Nagus to get other Ferengi to help Starfleet if the situation called for it. (*Star Trek Online*: "Time in a Bottle", et. al)

## Relationships

After the USS *Voyager* returned to the Alpha Quadrant, Nog met and became friends with Vorik. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*: "Restoration")

Mahl'kom Group

The **Mahl'kom Group** was a Vulcan firm that owned merchant ships, freighters and transport vessels. One such vessel was the *Apollo*-class *T'Pau*, which had been decommissioned to Surplus Depot Z-15 before its theft and destruction in 2368. (TNG: "Unification II")

*The Vulcan word* mahl'kom *translates to English as "serenity," its appearance as a transport company is likely a reference to the ship of the same name in the* Firefly *series and her captain, Malcolm Reynolds.*

Renaissance II class

The ***Renaissance II* class** was a type of Federation starship that entered service in the 2370s. A light cruiser, sometimes designated as a scout, it was a variant of the *Wanderer* class design from the early 24th century, and was seen as a successor to the original *Renaissance* class.

The USS *Helena* was one such ship. She was commissioned in 2382, one of the last to be launched from Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, Mars. (*Star Trek: Hidden Frontier*; *Star Trek: The Helena Chronicles*)

Lotus class

The ***Lotus* class** was a type of Federation starbase. The first such installations entered service in the early 2280s, and the class remained in service well into the early 25th century, seeing several major upgrades over their lifetime.

*Lotus*-class stations consisted of a command pod sitting atop four upper pylons, each of which connected to a docking pier. Four lower pylons extended from the underside of each pier, connecting to a ring-shaped base that housed the station's deuterium tanks; fueling stations were attached to the inner side of the lower pylons. Each arm of the station was called an Arch, and each Arch was named after one of the four cardinal directions.

Each of the station's piers had two concourse levels that sandwiched the main gangways, with the primary shuttlebays and maintenance bays directly beneath the lower concourse. The large bays were interconnected within each pier, creating one massive bay throughout the pier structure, with sections that could be isolated if required. The primary docking port for each pier projected inward toward the station's central axis. The inner docks were typically used for larger vessels and short layovers. The central bays, referred to as "cradle docks," were partially-enclosed due to the large jetty structures of the pier and were typically reserved for ships that required more extensive maintenance. Each pier could accommodate multiple ships at different angles.

Star Station India and Star Station Echo were *Lotus*-class stations. (2D20: *Continuing Mission*)

Minos

**Minos** was a class M planet in the Lorenze Cluster. It was once home to the Minosian race, fabled arms merchants who marketed their planet as "the aresenal of freedom." The Minosians were destroyed by their own weapons during the era of the Erselrope Wars. (TNG: "The Arsenal of Freedom", LUG: *Planets of the UFP*)

Khodini

The **Khodini** were a sapient species native to the Alpha or Beta Quadrants. In the mid-23rd century, they had a reputation as pirates and brigands. A group of them operated in the Marrat Nebula region near the Federation Phalanx; they were often allied with the Orions and Arcturans. (*EV* comic: *The Fires of Pharos*)

*The Khodini were only mentioned, and neither seen nor described in the comic. Their appearance remains unknown.*

Kirayoshi O'Brien

**Kirayoshi "Yoshi" O'Brien** was a human male born in the late 24th century. As a Starfleet officer in the early 25th century, he served at Memory Alpha, and then as Chief Engineer aboard the USS *Enterprise*-F. (*Star Trek Online*)

The child of Miles and Keiko O'Brien, Kirayoshi was born on Deep Space 9 in early 2373, birthed by surrogate Kira Nerys, whom he was named after. He had an older sister, Molly. For much of his early life, he was raised between Earth and DS9, and then on Cardassia Prime, when the O'Brien family relocated there after the Dominion War in 2376. (DS9: "Body Parts", "What You Leave Behind"; *DS9* novel: *The Lotus Flower*)

He entered Starfleet Academy circa 2391, and graduated in 2395. By 2409, he held the rank of lieutenant, and was a member of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers detached to Memory Alpha.

Upon the launch of the USS *Enterprise*-F in 2410, he was reassigned as her chief engineer. In October of that year, while aboard Earth Spacedock, he referred Captain Geordi La Forge of the USS *Challenger* to another officer who could help with a mission to investigate the nexus. (*Star Trek Online*: "Boldly They Rode", "Beyond the Nexus")

As chief engineer aboard the *Enterprise*, O'Brien was a key member of Starfleet's research efforts into the Dyson Sphere discovered in 2411. (*Star Trek Online*: "Sphere of Influence", "A Step Between Stars")

By 2413, he had been promoted to Lieutenant Commander. (*Star Trek Online*: "Utopia Planitia: One Big Ship")

Phoenix process

*For other uses of "phoenix", see phoenix (disambiguation).*

The **Phoenix Process** was a method of using transporter technology to create perfect duplicates of people, essentially resurrecting them after death. It was developed by a being known as Omne, and first known to be used in 2270.

As part of a grandiose scheme to blackmail and destroy the Federation, Omne used his Phoenix process to duplicate and fake the death of James T. Kirk. Omne also used the process to duplicate himself in order to survive his own suicide. (*TOS* novel: *The Price of the Phoenix*, *The Fate of the Phoenix*)

Ross 614

**Ross 614**, also known as **Aldus**, was a binary star system in the Beta Quadrant, just over 13 light-years from Sol. Its planetary system contained at least seven planets, including Aldus Prime, site of Earth Colony 3. Aldus IV was home to an indigenous, pre-industrial species (possibly a lost Orion colony). (*Star Trek: Star Charts*; *ENT* novel: *Age of the Empress*; *Star Trek: Pendragon*)

*In Valen's universe, it was known to humans as the Orion system, and home to a number of Earth Alliance colonies.*

Peter Kirk

**Peter James Kirk** was a human male living in the 23rd century. He was the son of Sam and Aurelan Kirk, and had two brothers. His paternal uncle was the famous James T. Kirk. (TOS: "Operation -- Annihilate!")

Peter was born in April, 2254, the middle child of three boys. His older brother, Robert, was born circa 2247, and his younger brother, Andrew, in 2261, the same year as their cousin, David Marcus. (*ST* novel: *Avenger*; *Star Trek: New Voyages*: "Blood and Fire"; *TOS* novel: *Sarek*; *Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan*)

*For notes on the names and ages the three Kirk boys, see below.*
He was one of the survivors of the neural parasite infestation on Deneva in 2267, in which his parents were killed. After being rescued by the USS *Enterprise*, he went to live with his grandmother in Iowa. (TOS: "Operation -- Annihilate!")

Unlike his brothers, Peter did not join Starfleet, though he did eventually work with them in a civilian capacity. He followed in his father's footsteps as a research biologist. By mid-2280s, he was considered quite accomplished in his field. In 2292, he served as chief research scientist aboard the USS *Feynman* studying an unusual subspace "black smoker" phenomenon and its unique ecosystem. When the *Feynman* and the research team became trapped by the anomaly, they were rescued by Peter's uncle and the USS *Enterprise*-A. Later, Starfleet sent a properly prepared follow-up expedition to study the smoker, with Peter again leading the research team. (*TOS* novel: *Timetrap*; TOS comic: "Bloodline")

## Appendices

### Notes

* TOS leaves Peter's brothers unnamed, and does not specify the birth order of the three boys, some sources specify that Peter was the oldest, some the youngest. Going by the age of the actor, Peter appeared to be around twelve or thirteen years of age in 2267, which fits well enough with his birthdate established in the novel *Avenger*.
* Two excellent but conflicting portrayals of Peter exist in the novel *Sarek* by AC Crispin, and the *Phase II* fan film "Blood and Fire", written and directed by David Gerrold. The version in *Sarek* would make the character only six years old in his TOS appearance, which is far too young, whereas the *Phase II* version shows him as an ensign on the *Enterprise* only two years after his first appearance, which would make him several years too old.
* In an effort to preserve at least the spirit of both *Sarek* and "Blood and Fire", *Star Trek: Pendragon* assumes that Peter is the middle brother, and the Ensign Kirk of *Phase II* is the elder, while the Cadet/Lieutenant Kirk of *Sarek* is the younger. Which one of the three was the Commander Kirk seen in *Star Trek: Of Gods and Men* in 2306 is not clear, though the producers' intent was that it was *not* Peter, and *Pendragon* assumes it to be the younger brother, named Andrew.

Ka'athyra

A ***ka'athyra*** was a stringed musical instrument from the planet Vulcan. A type of **Vulcan harp**, it was also known as a **Vulcan lyre**, **Vulcan lyrette**, **lythrette**, or -- somewhat inaccurately -- a **Vulcan lute**. (TOS: "Charlie X", "The Way to Eden"; *TOS* novel: *Dwellers in the Crucible*)

Traditionally, *ka'athyras* were made of *li'pon* and *sher skah* wood, with *ba'hun'ahb* inlays and eridianite pins. It had tonal qualities reminiscent of not only Terran harps and lutes, but also sitars and, to some extent, violins. (*Star Fleet Technical Manual*)

Sarek, Spock, Tuvok and Sonek Pran were all noted *ka'athyra* players. The instrument was widely regarded by non-Vulcans as well, and it was taught at the Tenaran Music Academy on Trill and many other prestigious institutions. Offworlders who played *ka'athyra* included Nyota Uhura, Joran Dax and Sutra, a Coppelian android. It was also popular on the planet Aldea. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King", "Elaan of Troyius"; VOY: "Innocence"; *ST* novel: *A Singular Destiny*; *DS9* short story: "Allegro Ouroboros in D Minor"; PIC: "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 1"; TNG: "When the Bough Breaks")

Spock's *ka'athyra* had been a gift from his father. The two of them had once competed in the All-Vulcan Music Competition; Spock had come in second, and while Sarek had taken first place. Spock found playing the instrument to be "relaxing," and considered the transposition of music from other worlds for the *ka'athyra* to be a compelling exercise in logic. (TOS: "Elaan of Troyius"; *TOS* novel: *Vulcan's Forge*)

When the Ferengi Commerce Association seized the possessions of Doctor Solev in the Ferengi year 18217, a *ka'athyra* was among the items they found and liquidated. (*Legends of the Ferengi*)

Qualor system

The **Qualor system** was located in Sector 213 of the Beta Quadrant, inside Federation space near the border of the Romulan Neutral Zone. It consisted of a K-class star and six planets, two of which were Class M. One of those, Qualor II, was orbited by the the Federation's Surplus Depot Z15. (TNG: "Unification I", "Unification II"; LUG: *Planets of the UFP*)

## System

* Qualor
	+ Qualor I (Class K)

	+ Qualor III (Class M)
	+ Qualor IV (Class J)
	+ Qualor V (Class J)

Robert Kirk

**Robert Samuel Kirk** was a human male who lived during the 23rd century. He was the eldest son of George and Aurelan Kirk, the brother of Peter and Andrew, and the nephew of James T. Kirk. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*)

Robert was born in 2247. His parents were research scientists, and Robert spent most of his childhood traveling with them from assignment to assignment, growing up on a variety of colony worlds.

At the age of 18, he entered Starfleet Academy in 2265, shortly before his parents moved to Deneva with his younger brother, Peter. George and Aurelan were killed in 2267 when neural parasites infested the colony. Peter, however, survived, and returned to Earth to join Andrew, who had been living with their grandmother in Iowa.

While at the Academy, Robert fell in love with fellow cadet Alex Freeman. Robert graduated in 2269, and requested an assignment to the USS *Enterprise*, not because his uncle was the commanding officer, but because Lieutenant Freeman was posted there as a medical technician.

Aboard the *Enterprise*, Robert shared quarters with Lieutenant Xon. After a while aboard, Robert asked Alex to marry him, and Alex finally accepted. Unfortunately, Alex was killed shortly thereafter during a mission to the USS *Copernicus*. Some time later, Robert accepted the flag for Alex at a memorial service for fallen *Enteprise* crewmembers on Starbase 4. (*Star Trek: Phase II*: "Blood and Fire", "Boldly Going")

### Notes

* In the *Star Trek: Phase II* fan film episode "Blood and Fire," this character was called Peter Kirk. However, "Blood and Fire" was set approximately two or three years after "Operation -- Annihilate!", during which time Peter was far too young to have attended, much less graduated the Academy. So *Pendragon* continuity, wanting to preserve the story, has retconned this to be his older brother, established in TOS, but unnamed.
* Robert's first name is a tip of the hat to the actor who played Ensign Kirk in "Blood and Fire," Bobby Rice, and to Captain Robert T. April, best friend of his grandfather, and "uncle" to his father.
Parliament class

The ***Parliament* class** was a type of Federation starship in Starfleet service during the late 24th century. Classed as light cruisers in mind, they were larger and more advanced than the *California*-class support ships they were often partnered with on large-scale engineering projects. (LDS: "Cupid's Errant Arrow"; *Starfleet Ships 2294 - The Future*)

Miranda Kadohata

**Miranda Kadohata** was a female human 24th century Starfleet officer in the operations division. She served aboard both the USS *Enterprise*-D and *Enterprise*-E as an operations officer from the 2360s through the 2380s. (TNG novels: *Q & A*; *Before Dishonor*; *Losing the Peace*)

She was born on Cestus III, and spoke with a Port Shangri-La accent. She had at least one sister, Olwyn Kadohata. (*TNG* novel: *Q & A*)

## Career

Kadohata graduated from Starfleet Academy circa 2360, and by 2363 she was assigned to the USS *Firenze* as a Lieutenant, junior grade.

In 2364, she transferred to the *Galaxy*-class USS *Enterprise*-D shortly before the ship's mission to Farpoint Station. She was assigned to the sensor room, where she worked under the ship's operations manager, Lieutenant Commander Data. Kadohata continued to serve aboard the *Enterprise* until its destruction at Veridian III in 2371.

She was among the crew who were assigned to the vessel's *Sovereign*-class successor, the USS *Enterprise*-E, again as an operations officer under Commander Data. When Data was offered promotion to the post of first officer in 2379, he selected Kadohata to succeed him as ops manager and second officer. She accepted, but took maternity leave before returning to the *Enterprise* to assume her new duties in 2380, by which time Data had been killed in the Shinzon incident. (*TNG* novel: *Q & A*)

*In the* Destiny *timeline, Kadohata left the* Enterprise *in 2381, serving on detached duty to the Federation Displaced Persons Agency to assist their efforts aiding refugees on Pacifica, which allowed her to remain in one location, relatively close to her family on Cestus III.* (*TNG* novel: *Losing the Peace*)

## Personal life

While aboard the *Firenze*, Kadohata was romantically involved with the ship's flight controller, Lieutenant Ricardo Torres. Torres transferred to the *Enterprise* with Kadohata in 2364, but their relationship ended shortly after the ship's maiden mission to Deneb IV, during which Torres was badly shaken by encounter with the semi-omnipotent being known as Q. A number of other shipboard relationships followed for Kadohata, but all were short and ended badly.

She met her eventual husband, Vicenzo Farrenga, at a baseball game on Cestus III between the Port Shangri-La Seagulls, for whom Kadohata's sister played shortstop, and the Palombo Sehlats, whose general manager was Farrenga's father. They had a daughter, Aoki Farrenga, in 2374, and a pair of twins, Colin and Sylvana, in 2379. (*TNG* novel: *Q & A*)

Rigellian (humanoid)

*For similarly named articles, see Rigellian.*
The **Rigellians** were a species of humanoids native to Rigel VII, in the Rigel system. By the 23rd century, their society resembled that of Earth's middle ages, although with much greater technological advancement. The Kaylar, their warrior caste, were a sub-species unto themselves.

In 2254, Rigel VII was considered for membership in the United Federation of Planets. However, Rigellian traditionalists allied with a sect of Kaylar and led an uprising which resulted in the deaths of several officers from the USS *Enterprise*, including Yeoman Dermot Cusack. Due to the planet's continued strife, the Rigellians' membership was denied. (*Star Trek: Early Voyages* comic: *Our Dearest Blood*)
