Gravity

**Gravity** (**g**) is a force of attraction between two bodies, the greater the mass the more pronounced the effect.

In the Federation standard gravity is measured as compared to that of Earth. That means if a planet had a gravity of 1.1 g, it would be 10% heavier gravity than that of Earth. Class M planets typically have a gravity similar to that of Earth.

The effects of gravity can be mimicked by technology allowing starships and space stations to have standard and adaptable gravity.

Demilitarised Zone

The **Federation-Cardassian Demilitarised Zone** (often just shortened to the **Demilitarised Zone**) was a region between the United Federation of Planets and the Cardassian Union. Created from a treaty that ended the Federation-Cardassian War the zone acted as a buffer between the two empires.

As part of the deal several worlds from both sides were ceded to the other. The Federation attempted to evacuate these worlds but not all the inhabitants were willing to leave their homes, instead accepting that they would be under Cardassian rule.

The Cardassian Central Command started to secretly arm its colonists in the DMZ and waged a campaign to drive the Federation colonists from their worlds. In response the Federation colonists formed the Maquis to combat the Cardassian colonists and the Cardassian Union in general.

The Klingon invasion of Cardassia, further weakened the Cardassians and the Maquis were able to make significant gains against their opponents. So much so that by 2373, they were considering making the Federation colonies an independent state.

In late-2373, the Cardassian Union joined the Dominion. The Jem'Hadar then descended on the DMZ and in a matter of days wiped out the Maquis.

Jake Sisko

Jake Sisko in 2375

**Jake Sisko** was the son of the famous Starfleet Captain Benjamin Sisko and Jennifer Sisko. He chose not to join Starfleet, instead becoming a writer. He was close friends with Nog, who would later became the first Ferengi in Starfleet.

## Alternate realities

In an alternate universe where the Dominion won the Dominion War, Jake moved from Deep Space 9 to Bajor following the death of his father during Operation Return.

In 2377, Jake travelled to Earth for his grandfather's funeral. Afterwards he returned to Bajor.

Five years later he married a Bajoran woman named Korena in a ceremony presided over by Kai Winn Adami.

In 2384, he had a child with Korena that they named Benjamin after his father, though they frequently called him "Benny". Around this time Jake started to suffer from nightmares where he was alone in an empty white space. They usually occurred in the period around the date of his father's death.

In 2394, after the nightmares got worse over several years and he started to hear his father calling his name, Jake agreed to attend the Festival of Tears as a guest of the Kai. He hoped that it would dispel any issues he had over his father's death and free him of the dreams. During the festival he had an orb experience where he was told by the Prophets and his father to bring about the prophesied Reckoning

Following the path set out in his vision Jake undertook an expedition to the caverns under the ruins of B'hala with a guide. They discovered the Reckoning Tablet where Jake was again given a vision by the Prophets telling him to bring about the Reckoning. After leaving the caverns Jake was taken into custody by Bajoran Security and transported to Gateway Station for questioning by the Dominion.

Despite his wishes not to be involved in the various plots by Weyoun to denounce the tablet as a fake and those by Kira Nerys and Kai Winn to retrieve the tablet and return from the station to Bajor, he was convinced to become involved in the latter.

During a dinner with Weyoun Jake broke the tablet in a fit of rage and freed the trapped Prophet and Kosst Amojan setting the Reckoning in motion. He later gave himself to the Prophet as its instrument for the battle following the death of Kira b the Kosst Amojan possessed Dukat.

Following the defeat of Dukat, Jake was transported to the Fire Caves on Bajor. There under the Prophet's control he sent Dukat's body into the flames before the Prophets "sealed the fate" of the Pah-wraiths.

With his role done Jake was transported to the Celestial Temple, where he met up with his wife and child. They were greeted by his father and welcomed to the rebirth of Bajor.

Festival of Tears

The **Festival of Tears** was a Bajoran festival in an alternate universe that occurred on the anniversary of the death of Benjamin Sisko, Emissary of the Prophets.

After Sisko's death the orbs had gone dark causing a major crisis on Bajor. Three years after Sisko's death it was noticed that the orbs' light returned on the anniversary of his death. A further two years past and the Bajoran Religious Order was sure of the pattern and in the following year held the first Festival of Tears.

The Festival turned a grim anniversary to a moment of renewed spiritual hope with the orbs briefly returning to normal. The Festival included an orb ceremony held in the main temple in Ashalla. The orbs were arrayed in a semi circle and someone would be selected to open the orb ark at the apex of the curve. It was timed so that the light would slowly return and then the rest of the arks were opened, bathing the entire interior of the temple in their glow. To be the first to open the ark was was considered the greatest privilege of the ceremony.

The temple would be packed during the ceremony. The grounds around it would also be filled with people where they could watch the ceremony on large screens. It was said that all of Bajor stopped to watch the ceremony.

After years of declining requests to attend, Jake Sisko agreed to attend the Festival in 2394. He took part in the ceremony where he opened the first ark. During this he had an orb experience. Among the other guests were Jake's family and Weyoun, representing the Dominion.
El Dorado class

The ***El Dorado*-class** was a type of heavy frigate fielded by the Federation Starfleet during the 24th century.

## Design

The *El Dorado* was made up of a circular saucer section connected to a separate engineering hull by a short neck. It made use of a tri-nacelle design, with a third nacelle mounted dorsally of the engineering hull and slightly forward of the outer pair. This allows for the *El Dorado* to maintain high warp speeds for longer periods of time, making it a useful fast response unit.

Reasonably armed with five phaser arrays, two on the saucer and two on the secondary hull. A fifth array was hidden and was only usable if the saucer separated from the engineering hull. It was also equipped with two forward and one aft photon torpedo launchers.

The *El Dorado* was also designed with two extensive shuttlebays. Located on the port and starboard sides of the saucer.

Detapa Council

The **Detapa Council** was the civilian governing body of the Cardassian Union. Created to oversee the actions of Central Command and the Obsidian Order by the 24th century the Council was virtually powerless.

One of the goals of the Cardassian dissident movement was to restore the Detapa Council to power. In 2372, they succeeded in this goal after the destruction of the Obsidian Order the year before a popular uprising toppled Central Command. The Klingon Empire took this as a sign that the Detapa Council was infiltrated by Changelings and used this as a pretext for launching an invasion of Cardassia.

When the Klingons broke through the Cardassian Guard and made their way to Cardassia Prime Legate Dukat evacuated the Council to rendevzous with the USS *Defiant*. Despite Klingon attempts to destroy the ship transporting the council they were safely evacuated to the *Defiant* and given refuge on Deep Space 9, where the Klingons again failed to capture them.

Less than two years later, Dukat launched a coup with the support of the Dominion and removed the Council from power.

Human

**Humans** are a humanoid species native to the planet Earth. They are members of the United Federation of Planets. They are also known as **Terrans** and **Earthlings**.

## History

Humanity has had a long and violent history. During the 20th century they fought their first world war, which was followed by a second in under 25 years. A century later they would fight their third and final world war.

Humans also fought a war against genetically engineered humans called augments during the late-20th century. For centuries after this event the issue of genetic engineering has been a taboo among humans and later the Federation.

Following the third world war human society teetered on the edge of complete destruction. Around ten years after the end of the war Zefram Cochrane built the first warp drive and successfully tested it. This attracted the attention of a passing Vulcan starship, which landed and made first contact with the human race.

However, this was not the first time aliens had visited Earth. Over the centuries several species visited the planet, some by accident others by design. Several species transported a number of humans off Earth and populated other planets in the Milky Way with them.

Over the next century humanity rebuilt Earth and rid it of war, disease, poverty and hunger. The nation-states of Earth banded together under the banner of United Earth and started to extend humanity's reach to the stars, colonising several planets. They eventually became embroiled in a conflict with the Romulan Star Empire. From this conflict came the birth of the United Federation of Planets or which humanity was one of the first members and continued to be one of the most influential members for centuries to come.

Jem'Hadar

The **Jem'Hadar** were a species of genetically engineered soldiers that served the Dominion.

Jem'Hadar were bred in hatcheries and took only three days to go from infant to fully grown. They were designed lacking a crucial enzyme, which saw them requiring the drug ketracel-white to survive. In exchange they did not need to sleep or eat. They also possessed the ability to go invisible, which they referred to as shrouding.

If a Jem'Hadar did not get sufficient white they would suffer withdraw symptoms such as an inability to concentrate, feelings of pain, a lack of discipline, and no longer being able to shroud. They would get increasingly violent and kill anyone they could and even turn on each other before they died.

They were also bred with the belief that the Founders were gods to be served and that their actions were for the glory of the Founders. This was despite most never seeing their 'gods'.

As the Jem'Hadars' only purpose was to serve as soldiers they died young and it was rare for them to live past the age of 15. If they lived to 20 years they were awarded the title "Honoured Elder".

During the Dominion War, a new breed of Jem'Hadar was created specifically to fight against the Alpha Quadrant powers. They were referred to as 'Alphas' and the older version as 'Gammas'.

Exodus

In an alternate universe, the "**Exodus**" was the rumoured last official act of the Federation Council. With the Dominion on the verge of complete victory in the war, the Council ordered Starfleet to gather a fleet of both Starfleet and civilian vessels, load them with as many people as they could safely carry and flee for parts unknown. Some theorised they headed for the edge of the galaxy to move beyond its borders, or to the centre to hide, or out to the Delta Quadrant to seek new allies to fight back against the Dominion.

Neither Jake Sisko or Letac Vari believed that the "Exodus" actually took place. Jake thought that it was just a story to give people hope that one day someone would return to free them from Dominion rule. Though he did not discount that some people might have fled, he just doubted that it was a large, organised operation.
Jasis 12's attack ship

**Jasis 12's attack ship** was a Jem'Hadar attack ship commanded by Jasis 12.

In 2369, the vessel transported Jasis 12 to the planet Iorath. After Jasis kidnapped Starfleet Captain Juan Acero she interrogated him on the vessel.

The USS *Proxima*, Acero's vessel, pursued the attack ship to rescue Acero. When the two ships engaged the attack ship's superior phased polaron beams and transporter technology enabled the ship to penetrate the *Proxima*'s shields. It was able to destroy the bridge and transport over a boarding party of Jem'Hadar. These two events in quick succession saw the *Proxima* captured.

Jasis 12's vessel was then ordered to wait for reinforcements before returning to Iorath to finish over Jasis's original mission to the world.

Force field

A **force field** was a type of energy barrier that had multiple applications.

## Containment field

A containment field is a force field created to contain an object and prevent its escape.

Shuttlebays used containment fields when their bay doors were open to prevent the depressurisation of the bay. Shuttlecraft were able to penetrate these fields without compromising the atmospheric integrity of the bay.

The brig on Starfleet vessels used containment fields to hold prisoners in cells.

## Structural integrity and emergency force fields

The structural integrity of a starship or space station can be supplemented with force fields.

When the hull is breached emergency forces fields are activated to prevent the continual lose of atmosphere to the vacuum of space.

## Other uses

Holodecks use of force fields to create objects which can then be interacted or manipulated by real people. This allows holograms to appear to be solid and allow them to manipulate other items.

Jasis

**Jasis** was a Vorta commander in service with the Dominion.

## Jasis 1

The first Jasis was created on Kurill Prime during the 2000s. Several of her successors were also created on the planet.

## Jasis 11

Jasis 11 was killed in 2368 during a planetary invasion operation conducted by the Dominion. Her ship was crippled while descending through the atmosphere resulting in it crashing to the surface and killing all aboard.

## Jasis 12

Jasis 12 was activated in 2368 on a planet located on the other side of the Dominion from the Bajoran wormhole.

In 2369, she was dispatched to Iorath to work towards convincing the Iorathites to allow the Dominion to set up a base in their home system. A part of that mission her entered into an affair with Kodah, a minister in the National Assembly of Iorath.

While attending a function for new visitors to Iorath she encountered a delegation from the USS *Proxima*. Upon learning of the size and scope of the United Federation of Planets from Captain Juan Acero of the *Proxima* she kidnapped him for further interrogation.

After capturing the *Proxima* following it pursing her vessel Jasis contacted her superiors with what she had learned. She was ordered to maintain her position and wait for other Dominion vessels to arrive and take possession of the *Proxima* and its crew. She was then to return to Iorath and delivering an ultimatum: they would immediately give the Dominion what they wanted or the Dominion would take it by force.

## Personality

By the time of her twelfth iteration Jasis had developed several eccentricities from what was considered ot be standard Vorta behaviour. She had come to develop a sense of aesthetics and was fond of lavishness. She also enjoyed adopting the styles of species she interacted with, which was something considered by other Vorta and the Jem'Hadar as uncouth.

Jasis developed a favourable reputation amongst the Jem'Hadar. She was considered a capable and fair commander who treated the Jem'Hadar with more respect.

Deflector shield

**Deflector shields** or simply shields, were a type of force field that surrounds a starship, space station, or planet to protect it from harm.

## Operations

Deflector shields are created through the use of shield generators. These generators create a layer or layers of energy around an object that prevents matter and energy from passing through. On starships shields were usually arrayed into six quadrants, fore, aft, port, starboard, dorsal and ventral. The shape of shields came in two general forms, an elliptical shape around the object or a contour following shape just above the hull of the vessel. Shields could be weakened if they were impacted with enough energy.

Shields operated at a specific shield frequency. Knowing the frequency would allow objects to pass through the shields. Most transporter technology was unable to beam through raised shields unless a gap could be found.

## Types of shields

* Metaphasic shield
* Multiphasic shield
* Regenerative shield
* Temporal shield
* Structural integrity field

Jonathan Masters

**Jonathan Masters** was a Human Starfleet officer from the 24th century.

## Starfleet service

During the 2360s, Masters was assigned to guard a deuridium storage facility on Kobliad during the unrest caused by a attack on the planet. The facility was breached by criminals and Masters was shot and nearly killed.

In 2366, Masters had reached the rank of lieutenant and was serving on the USS *Parthian*. During that year the ship was involved in the Hyralan Incident in which Masters was heavily involved in rescuing hundreds of lives. He was later himself rescued by the USS *Swiftfire*, but sustained serious injuries. In the aftermath there was some controversy around his actions due to a number of deaths during the incident.

After recovering from his injuries Masters was assigned to the USS *Bougainville* as its security chief. During his time on the *Bougainville* he was promoted to lieutenant commander.

In 2369, Masters was assigned to the USS *Swiftfire* at the request of Captain Eloise Allston to replace her outgoing first officer. As part of this assignment he was promoted to commander.

In 2373, Masters was serving as the first officer of the USS *Ardent*.

## Harbinger's future

The being known as Harbinger referred to Masters as "the Destroyer" due to Masters apparent pivotal role in a galaxy wide catastrophe. The Harbinger attempted to avoid this by killing Masters in the past. He travelled back to the events on Koblaid and changed events that resulted in Masters being shot, however Masters would survive.

In a subsequent vision Masters was shown in command of the USS *Swiftfire*-A as it visited the world the Harbinger resided on. He was also possibly tied to a catastrophe on that world.

## Relationships

### Family

He was the son of two prominent figures that meant his surname carried weight within Starfleet.

### Susan Core

Masters had a very close relationship with Susan Core that was formed over the two years they served on the USS *Bougainville*. When considering whether he wanted to transfer to the USS *Swiftfire* his relationship with her was an important factor he took into account.

## Background information

* In the past Masters has been represented in photomanipulations by Don Franklin and later by Michael Beach.

K'vort class

A K'vort in orbit of Qo'Nos

The ***K'vort*-class** warship was a type of starship used by the Klingon Empire during the 24th century.

The *K'vort* was built using the same plans as the smaller *B'rel*-class bird-of-prey though on a larger scale. Unlike the *B'rel* they were not designed to land on the surface of a planet. The class was designed to act as a troop transport allowing for around 1,200 troops to be crammed into the vessel.

The class proved to be a popular design and many saw service in the Klingon Defence Force and House militaries. Due to its low cost and maintenance when compared to larger Klingon vessels, such as the *Vor'cha*-class, making it attractive to smaller Houses. It also saw much variation with individual Houses building the craft to various dimensions from around 250 m to close to 700 m given the resources available to that House or simply due to personal preference.

The ship's weapons were split into a forward torpedo launcher in the command hull and an aft launcher. It had a disruptor cannon on the tips of each wing as well as two cannons on the aft of the main body.

* Specifications from the *SRMV3: Ships of the Klingon Empire* represent a 'standard' *K'vort*.

Harbinger

The **Harbinger** was a being that resided on a planet in the Ciri system. It was seen as a deity by the people of a village due to his ability to foresee the future.

At some point the Harbinger accidentally created a method in which he could travel through time, but could only observe events. He eventually developed a way to interact with things, though it took a lot of preparation and power to do so.

The Harbinger had been interacting with the village for some time before 2375 as Turan credited the Harbinger with his existence due to the Harbinger warning the villagers of a particularly harsh winter during Turan's grandparents' lives.

In one future the Harbinger saw he witnessed what he thought was the destruction of the galaxy. To prevent the possibility of this future he resolved to kill a being he dubbed "the Destroyer" in the past.

Travelling back around a decade the Harbinger changed an event on the planet Kobliad that resulted in the Destroyer being shot. Initially the Harbinger believed the Destroyer had been killed as the future was rewritten. However, in a new future the Harbinger saw that the Destroyer survived and would visit his world. Tied to this he also saw the destruction of his temple and the planet.

Federation-Klingon War (2372-2373)

The **Federation-Klingon War of 2372 to 2373** was a short conflict between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire.

The conflict was birthed out of the Klingon-Cardassian War due to the Federation not supporting the Klingon invasion of the Cardassian Union in 2372. In response the Klingon Chancellor Gowron pulled the Empire out of the Khitomer Accords.

Over that year the Klingons and Federation forces clashed near their respective borders, however none of these events proved to be sufficient to spark a war.

The crucial event proved to be Gowron's demand for the Federation to abandon the Archanis sector, which the Klingon had long relinquished control of to the Federation. When the Federation did not the two powers went to war.

Initially the Federation was unprepared for a sustained conflict against the Klingons. The Federation Council hoping for a diplomatic solution held off from fully committing to the conflict granting the Klingons the early momentum. After three months of fighting the Federation slowed the Klingon advance, even pushing them back in some regions. The surprise revelation that Klingon General Martok had been replaced by a Changeling resulted in a ceasefire to the conflict.

The ceasefire was broken several weeks later by the Klingons. Multiple Klingon battle groups and Starfleet fleets were engaged in several battles along the border and in Archanis. Several Federation worlds were attacked and included: Ajilon Prime, Belis IV and Korvat III. The fighting was brief and the ceasefire was reinstated.

The war officially came to an end in late-2373 when Gowron reinstated the Khitomer Accords following the Cardassian Union joining the Dominion.

Ketracel-white

**Ketracel-white** (or simply the **white**) was a compound that was required by the Jem'Hadar. The Jem'Hadar were created missing a crucial enzyme and required Ketracel-white. It also provided them with the nutrients they required removing the need for them to eat or drink.

Without the white a Jem'Hadar would lose focus and discipline. They would experience pain and would also lose the ability to shroud. Extended periods without white would see the Jem'Hadar driven insane and would kill everything they could, including each other before they died.

The drug also served as a source of control over the Jem'Hadar, ensuring their loyalty to the Founders. The white was distributed by the Vorta and included a ritual where the ranking Jem'Hadar would pledge allegiance to the Founders before they would receive their doses.
