AA6: Apartment that the 20th century Travis Dillon and Alexander Rydell lived in at Old Dominion University. ("Sensitivity 101," "Star Traks 6" [TRK]) (NOTE: Alan Decker actually lived in this apartment as well while attending ODU.)

ADAMS, LAURA: The unfortunate Secondprize lieutenant who was the object of Dillon's affections. She requested a transfer as soon as she found out. ("Reason to Panic" [TRK])

ADVERSARY, USS: Prometheus Class Section 31 starship used as the personal flagship of the late Admiral Jared Newman. The Adversary was destroyed during an attack by a Section 31 task force on the Voran homeworld, and Newman went with it. ("Dark Horizon" [BAN]).

AEROSTAR, USS: Registry NCC-83835, first ship to bear the name. USS Aerostar was launched in 2374 to investigate disturbances inside the unstable gravitic disturbance known as the Bermuda Expanse. Since then, its record speaks for itself. It spent a year raising hell in the Delta Quadrant, then returned to the Alpha Quadrant and promptly blew up ("Confrontations" [VEX]).

AFTERLIFE, THE: Realm entered after death. Many different religions speculate what the Afterlife is or like. In 2374, the command crew of the U.S.S. Banshee found out when the ship's bridge was struck by a torpedo from a Voran warship. After days of enduring "The Waiting Room," the Banshee crewmembers were sent back after the Afterlife deemed that "Their lives were cut too short" for them to enter. ("The Dark Fleet, Part II" [BAN]).

AKIRA CLASS STARSHIP: Medium sized Federation spacecraft put into service in the mid 24th century used into the late 24th century. The third Starship Banshee (NCC-9561-B), was an Akira Class vessel, as was the USS Hoboken ("Quid Pro Q" [VEX]).

ALDRIDGE, ELIZABETH: Chief Medical Officer assigned to the USS Secondprize after Dr. Rebecca Singer was sent to Tantalus V. Before serving on the Secondprize, Dr. Aldridge's speciality was forensic pathology. She was not thrilled about having to deal with live patients again, something she hadn't done since medical school. As soon as Aldridge arrived on Starbase 219 to join the ship, she found herself helping Scott Baird in unraveling the mystery of Beck and Rydell's disappearances. Aldridge and Baird discovered that James Terris was a spy, beat the hell out of him, and rescued Rydell and Beck. Almost immediately, she was inundated with patients, since Dillon, Hawkins, and Jaroch had been injured at Starfleet Memorial Gardens and Dr. Amedon Nelson had been injured on Bracktia Prime. Aldridge quickly handled the situation but wondered what she'd gotten herself into. ("Star Traks 5" [TRK]) Within her first couple of months on board the ship, Aldridge had to detangle Emily Sullivan from the ship's computer and deal with a shipwide case of indigestion. ("Optimum Interface," "Hostage Crisis" [TRK]) These events led her to go visit Rebecca Singer on Tantalus V. Aldridge wanted to get more of an idea of what she would be dealing with on the Secondprize. Singer, believing that Aldridge was trying to steal her beloved Captain Rydell and take her job, attempted to kill Aldridge. Aldridge was able to disarm Singer before the insane woman could do any harm. ("Previous Occupant" [TRK]) On Stardate 50594, Aldridge "passed" Rydell's test for bridge command clearance. He felt that she was likely to rush off to help any injured beings they should come across, but, lacking any other alternatives, she was given the job. ("Commanding Presence" [TRK]) Over the next year, the medical emergencies didn't get any more normal. Aldridge had to save Admiral Cooper from a cup of toxic coffee, de-Borgify Hawkins after she'd been turned into a Borg clown, and knit most of Dillon's bones after his "accident" on Alkaxis Prime. ("Choice Blend," "Fear Has a Red Nose," "Cruising for Trouble" [TRK]) On Stardate 51543, Aldridge accompanied Jaroch and Counselor Webber to Yyns for Jaroch's Seratch. Unbeknownst to her, Singer had escaped Tantalus V with Zero and sent Zero to Yyns to kill Aldridge. Aldridge narrowly avoided being killed, and Zero was returned to Tantalus V. ("Star Traks 6" [TRK]) During a first contact mission to Cenkella commanded by the visiting Commander Conway, Aldridge was shot by the Cenkellans. She quickly discovered that the Cenkellan weapons had no effect on humans. She was not, however, able to stop the mad power rush that hit Commander Conway. ("Of Gods and First Officers" [TRK])

ALKAXIS GREAT PALACE: Home to the ruler of the Alkaxians of Alkaxis Prime. Negotiations to end the war between Alkaxis Prime and Tumsersa took place inside the palace. Dillon accidentally thwarted a plan to blow up the negotiators when he set off the bomb, which was hidden in a piece of fake fruit, early. ("Cruising for Trouble" [TRK])

ALKAXIS PRIME: Planet involved in a war with the neighboring world of Tumsersa. The Secondprize visited Alkaxis Prime on Stardate 51306 to negotiate an end to the hostilities. ("Cruising for Trouble" [TRK])

ALKAXIANS: Inhabitants of Alkaxis Prime. The Alkaxians were at war with the Tumsersans. The USS Secondprize was able to help negotiate an end to the hostilities. ("Cruising for Trouble" [TRK])

ALL WORK, NO PLAY: All Work, No Play was damaged when newly awoken Cube #347 initated a shield while towing tractor beam was in process of being disengaged ("Let Sleeping Borg Lie, Part I-III" [BRG]).

ALTAIR FOUR: Baird bought a house in the mountains there for him and Sullivan to live in. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

AMJEX: Subordinate of Yolek the Fourteenth who, along with his colleague Jenel, attempted to discredit Yolek's relations with the Federation and have her removed from office. ("Belch-O-Rama" [TRK])

AMNESTY GALACTICA: An charitable organization that tried to get Bradley Dillon to give them several million credits. He sent them a coffee mug instead. ("Dividends" [WAY])

ANDORIAN CHEERLEADING BATONS: Andorian kid's toy that works remarkably like a Klingon pain stick. Bradley Dillon used them as weapons when he was kidnapped by the Ferengi. ("Dividends" [WAY])

ANDORIAN RESTAURANT: See "Ic'hasssssst V'kelsnet Andorian Restaurant." ("Gridlock" [WAY])

ANDY-WANDY: A silly, hippy-esque, afroed equivalent to Andy Baxter who resides in the Happy Universe ("Happy to See You" and "Worlds Apart" [VEX]). Came to the "normal" universe in 2376, imitating the good captain and giving he and the Explorer a bad name ("Many Happy Returns" [VEX]). Saw action again that same year, this time harassing Commander Jaroch and Counselor Claire Webber ("So Happy Together" [TRK]).

ANEMIA: Daughter of the Grand Leech of the Joegonots. After J'Ter killed her fiance', her father ordered Captain Rydell to marry her. She was turned human along with the rest of the Joegonot population when Rydell blasted Ugilious with the Transference Ray. ("Star Traks 1" [TRK])

ANSALIS: The Secondprize was scheduled to have a layover at this planet. On no other world are the arts of cooking and erotic dance so well meshed. ("Of Gods and First Officers" [TRK, VEX])

ARCADIA, USS: Rydell served as first officer on the Arcadia before being promoted to captain of the Secondprize. ("The Hawkins Incident" [REJ])

ARDEK: Commander of the Romulan vessels Exalax and Horshak. In 2375, Ardek unsuccessfully attempted to help Romulan infiltrator T'Phil steal the USS Aerostar and bring it back to Romulus ("Confrontations" [VEX]). Later that year, Ardek turned his sights to Lt. Commander Kristen Larkin, realizing that bringing back a working android would win him even more acclaim than the Aerostar. He failed to capture her as well ("At Times They Even Talk Alike" [VEX]). He later went on to try and steal Commander Conway's ex-wife's powerful device that would transform worlds into fairytale amusement parks, but failed ("Happily Ever Altered" [VEX]). One year later, Ardek went after Larkin's human counterpart, Kristen Larkin, using her as bait to draw the android Larkin ("Birds of a Feather" [VEX]).. He failed at that, too, and was presumed killed by Larkin, who dragged him down into a fiery pit on an exploding iceplanet. Ardek survived, though, and (partially) repaired the Larkin that had tried to kill him, named her Kitty, and employed her as his assistant. Meanwhile, Larkin had uploaded her brain to the USS Escort computer and had it promptly installed in another body. That other body discovered Kitty and Ardek operating a casino planet less than one year later, and attempted to save Kitty. She was unsuccessful. Ardek and Kitty escaped, only to be separated again when Kitty began malfunctioning. Upon finding a wormhole to the Delta Quadrant, Ardek jettisoned Kitty and left to start a vicious streak of conquest. The last he was heard from, Ardek was working with the Critics to enslave the entire Delta Quadrant. His hobbies include yoga and reading the "thought for the day" on his computerized calendar.

ARKAN: One of the many ships clamoring for a parking spot outside Waystation. ("Gridlock" [WAY])

ARTIST GUY: Porter's term for the man Beck had been dating. Artist Guy was actually an architect who lived on Earth, although he preferred the term "Exterior Designer." As of Stardate 50357 Beck had not seen him in almost a year. She wanted her space, and he was stuck on himself. ("Field Trip" [WAY]

ASNERIS COLONY: Federation colony near Waystation which mysterious vanished. Lazlo and his marines were sent to investigate, and they too began to vanish. Lazlo discovered that the planet was already occupied by an energy entity who wasn't thrilled about the beings invading his world. Lazlo managed to pass the entity's tests, and the entity returned the colony and its inhabitants. ("The Corps of the Matter" [WAY])

ASSIMILATION, 13 OF 20: Former member of Species #5252. 13 of 20, before his assimilation, was a reknown painter ("Shades of Gray: The Saga of Watching Paint Dry" [BRG]). However, he lost his color sense in an accident and was regulated to a world of grays ("Shades of Gray: The Saga of Watching Paint Dry" [BRG]). Desperate to regain color vision, he went to the Borg and begged to be assimilated, but the process fixed nothing as the neural region was too heavily damaged and the internal scars too old to respond favorably to nanites ("Shades of Gray: The Saga of Watching Paint Dry" [BRG]). Assimilation is now very chronically depressed ("This is Borg; "Borg vs. Borg"; "Shades of Gray: The Sage of Watching Paint Dry" [BRG]; and many others) and finds his only entertainment in watching paint dry ("Borg vs. Borg"; "Shades of Gray: The Saga of Watching Paint Dry" [BRG]). Assimilation gained his current position as hierarchy head as it was his turn to rotate in from the Group of 20 ("This is Borg?" [BRG]). His alcove address is alcove 231, tier 7, submatrix 8, subsection 20 ("I Feel Good! [BRG]). As befitting a boring, nearly useless position, little has happened to assimilation personally. Of his few adventures, the most outstanding are his kidnapping by Zaphod Beeblebrox to be a bartender ("Shades of Gray: The Saga of Watching Paint Dry" [BRG]) and an attack by a Doctor-assimilated trinoth which subsequently shot him up with happy-juice venom, much to the detriment of the general sub-collective ("I Feel Good!" [BRG]).

ASTOR, JOHN JACOB: Incredibly wealthy American businessman killed on the Titanic. History says a smokestack fell on him. Turns out he was decapitated by a Grecin. Who knew? ("That Sinking Feeling" [WAY])

ASTROLEAGUE ANTI-GRAV BOWLING TROPHY: The oh-so-valuable item the Orion Syndicate stole from Starfleet Intelligence. Beck risked life and limb to get it back without knowing she was going after a stupid bowling trophy. Admiral Graham of Starfleet Intelligence won the trophy, but the Syndicate stole it right out of Starfleet Intelligence headquarters because they felt they should have won. ("You May Meet a Stranger" [WAY])

ASTRO-TECH: The company Lisa Beck's parents worked for. Each day, they transported from their home in North Carolina to their orbital facility. ("Trials of Youth" [REJ])

ATALANTA: Space craft on Bradley Dillon's used spaceship lot. Dillon and Hawkins bought a holographic representation of the Atalanta and took it to a holographic Secondprize in their efforts to stop Myna. ("Star Traks 4" [TRK]) Bradley Dillon arrived in the real Atalanta when he first came to Waystation. Craig Porter was later forced to fly the ship on remote pilot straight into a Romulan Warbird to stop the Romulans from destroying a Multek ship. ("Star Traks 5" [TRK])

ATCHAFALAYA, USS: Runabout Dillon flew back to the Secondprize from the meeting of the Starfleet Regulations Advisory Board. The Atchafalaya with hit by a temporal explosion and crashed on an uninhabited world. ("Alone on Christmas" [TRK])

ATOMIZER: Giant laser cannon used by the Cenkellan military. They hit Commander Conway with it dead on. He felt like a strong wind was blowing on him. Enraged at the Cenkellan defiance, though, he used his phaser to blast the Atomizer into a smoldering piece of modern art. ("Of Gods and First Officers" [TRK, VEX])

AUDRIANIS: A hostile Alpha Quadrant species that really doesn't like trespassers into their space. They attempted to destroy the Consolationprize when Carr was forced to cut through their space. She tricked them into leaving her alone by threatening to hit them with her Bonialia Blaster. ("Choice Blend" [TRK]) Most of the names in this story are in some way from "Twin Peaks," one of Alan Decker's favorite shows.

AUDUBAN: One of the rival factions fighting a civil war on Jeral. The Auduban Roost Leader sent Myna to destroy the USS Secondprize in hopes of forcing the Federation to give him a Galaxy Class starship. ("Star Traks 4" [TRK])

AXIS CLASS STARSHIP: Small, fast and agile type of Federation starship introduced in the late 24th century. Axis Class ships not only served as scouts and couriers in Starfleet, but also as privately owned transports ("The Truth Is Out There" [BAN]). Fifteen of these small ships were constructed by the Orion Crime Syndicate and outfitted with extremely powerful alien technology. ("Upstarts" [BAN]) (The 3D rendered artwork of the Axis Class starships were created by an online author under the alias of CBLim, and was used with the permission of the author).

AZAR, DR. DERRICK: Temporal physicist responsible for inventing the time tube which sent Dillon, Sullivan, and Jaroch 20 billion years into the future due to a decimal point error. ("Star Traks 2" [TRK]) Dr. Azar, on the urging of Bradley Dillon, took an improved version of his time tube to the Federation Science Conference held on the renovated Waystation three years later. ("The Way We Were" [WAY])

BACKIA SECTOR: Sector near the Cardassian border where the Banshee was believed to have been destroyed. ("The Truth Is Out There, Part One" [BAN]).

BAILEY, NURSE: Cheerful and gum-chewing, Nurse Bailey met a bitter end when a nebula-crazed crewman chain-sawed her ("Clouded Judgement" [VEX]).

BAIRD, SARAH: Female version of Scott Baird from the universe immediately following ours. ("Star Traks 2" [TRK])

BAIRD, SCOTT: Scott Baird was born to a mild-mannered British couple who moved to America soon after his birth. No one was more surprised than they were when it became apparent that that their little boy was developing the foulest mouth the 24th century had ever seen. The source of Baird's vocabulary is a subject of some debate among Baird's family. Some blamed his older sister Cathy, who had displayed a rebellious nature throughout her childhood and teen years. Others blamed the Bairds' decision to move to America. Whatever the reason, Scott Baird quickly became almost a legend in his elementary school and the bane of teachers everywhere. Despite this, he early one showed a predilection towards engineering. He would often accompany his father to his job at the Smithsonian Institute, where Scott would tinker with the various broken antique devices cluttering the workshops. Several of these, he was able to return to working order. Of course, he also insisted on setting every clock he could find to 4:44. Where the 4 obsession came from is, again, a mystery. Baird decided to enter Starfleet Academy, since that was the only place he'd really be able to do some serious engineering work. He managed to control his attitude enough to get through the Academy and for several years thereafter, but the Chief Engineer of the USS Denton, where Baird was posted as a lieutenant commander in the engineering section, pushed Baird to the breaking point. The man, Commander Majors, was a complete incompetent, and, after Majors almost caused a warp core breech, Baird let him have it, first with flurry of profanity unrivaled in the annals of Starfleet, then with his fists. Normally, Baird would have been court-martialed, and that would be the end of it. But the inquest revealed that Majors was indeed a moron and that Baird had saved the ship. Unfortunately, the genie was now out of the bottle, and Baird had become incredibly surly. Rather than lose a good engineer, Starfleet promoted him to commander and made him the Chief Engineer of the USS Secondprize in hopes that Baird would calm down enough to be transferred elsewhere. Until that time, Captain Rydell was under orders never to leave Baird in command. He was considered too dangerous. Baird's first two years on the Secondprize were quiet, and he took the opportunity to recalibrate the ship's warp signature to read all fours. His job jot a lot busier when the ship was plagued with several malfunctions during the mission to Ugilious. Baird eventually identified and helped capture the saboteur. ("Star Traks 1" [TRK]) After this ordeal, Baird had hoped to relax on Kilma Omega IV by riding his beloved bicycle through the countryside. Emily Sullivan ended up joining him. The two began a romance and narrowly avoided a pair of thieves. ("Belch-O-Rama" [TRK]) An accident on board ship a couple of weeks later resulted in Baird getting temporary amnesia. Sullivan, Beck, and Counselor Webber used the opportunity to see if they could reprogram Baird into being the sensitive, profanity-free boyfriend Sullivan had always wanted. Once his old personality returned, Baird escaped and set up a revenge prank against the trio. This resulted in a huge fight between Baird and Sullivan that destroyed Rydell's ready room, but they did reconcile. ("Star Traks 3" [TRK]) The détente didn't last long. Tensions between the two reached the breaking point when Myna, masquerading as Ambassador Baradda, came on board. Sullivan was immediately attracted to Myna, something Baird didn't fail to notice. He attacked Myna and was sent off on a sabotaged shuttle with Rydell, Jaroch, and Carr for his trouble. The shuttle landed on Mandicor, the atmosphere of which gave the Secondprize crew members odd abilities. Baird discovered that his profanity now caused explosions, smoke clouds and a variety of other effects. The Secondprize officers used their powers to defeat Logash, a warlord terrorizing the city of Felsten. When they returned to the ship, Baird and Sullivan officially ended their relationship. ("Star Traks 4" [TRK]) Baird was ordered to attend a sensitivity conference with Captain Rydell soon after this incident. On the way back from the conference, Rydell's mind was swapped with one of his 20th century ancestors. Baird was able to build a holographic projection system that allowed him to contact Rydell and assist him in fixing the timeline and returning to the 24th century. ("Sensitivity 101" [TRK]) After the Secondprize's discovery of the Multeks, Baird supervised the Secondprize's refit at Starbase 219. During this refit, Baird learned that Lt. Terris was a Romulan spy, rescued Rydell and Beck from a hostile world, and beat the living hell out of Terris. It was a full day. ("Star Traks 5" [TRK]) After the ship's computer attempted to join with Emily Sullivan, Baird and Dr. Aldridge were forced to attempt to rescue her. Baird was successful but ended up in sickbay for his efforts. The crisis did cool relations between Sullivan and Baird from homicidal hostility to friendly hostility, though. ("Optimum Interface" [TRK]) Baird pulled off an engineering miracle when the USS Secondprize was attacked by the USS Defiant, which had been stolen by Rebecca Singer. He managed to send the ship in reverse at warp one, which got them away from the Defiant long enough to get their shields and weapons on line. He also kept the ship together through a slingshot maneuver and another, much more punishing attack from the Defiant. During this second attack, Sullivan was in command of the Secondprize, and Baird took great pleasure in criticizing her command ability as the ship blew up around them. After the attack, Baird and Sullivan finally had it out in Rydell's ready room. The confrontation ended in sex, then marriage. ("Star Traks 6" [TRK]) Baird accompanied Rydell and the other Secondprize officers down to the Forever moon where they narrowly averted the destruction of the universe. As it was, they only delayed it for ten years. Over the next ten years, Sullivan gradually moved up through the ranks to captain and was offered her own ship. Baird was also promoted to captain and offered the job of Supervising Refit and Repair officer at the Deneria Dry Dock facility on the condition that he consent to being fitted with a profanity filter. He reluctantly accepted. Baird and Sullivan shared quarters at Deneria and also adopted a dog, which they named Compromise. Baird had never been a fan of dogs, especially Andrea Carr's Morgaine Le Fur. But he liked children even less, and Sullivan was insisting on one or the other, hence Compromise. Baird went back to Forever with Rydell and the others to try to stop the destruction of the universe. Before they could successfully give Forever their access code, though, they had to deactivate Baird's profanity filter. A boot to the head from Hawkins and several stun blasts from Dillon left Baird unconscious through most of the Forever incident. With the crisis over, Baird returned to Deneria on Sullivan's ship, the Invincible. He surprised her with the information that he'd bought a house for them on Altair Four. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

BANKS, MICHAEL: A corporal in the Federation Marines assigned to Waystation. Banks was the first to become enraptured with Leximas' teachings. ("This is Only a Test" [WAY])

BANSHEE, USS: Sovereign Class Federation Starship belonging to Section 31, registry number NCC-9561-C. Launched at the beginning of the Dominion War under command of Commander Charlotte Burns. The Banshee was later placed under the command of Captain Jad Vorezze and put into full service. ("Tolkien III" [REJ]). The Banshee features many amenities that most military starships do not have, including health clubs, bowling alleys, holodecks that seldom malfunction and a five star bar, The Twilight Zone. After a rough start to the mission, the Banshee was drafted into the secret organization Section 31, after accidentally stumbling upon the USS Gorgon, a damaged Section 31 vessel. ("Section Thirty-One" [BAN]). Shortly thereafter, the Banshee led the disastrous first contact effort with the ever unpleasant Voran Imperium. The ship was extremely damaged and the command crew killed, though a picky afterlife sent them back. The Banshee and her crew were instrumental in winning the war and reestablishing peace. ("The Dark Fleet, Parts I, II and III" [BAN]). While being repaired, the Banshee was used as a testbed for a new form of transwarp. While this experiment proved successful, the technology still had many flaws. ("Travelers" [BAN]). Later that year, while under attack by the Dominion battleship Veraka, the Banshee, with the Explorer and the Secondprize, were hurled back in time to the year 1997. After repairing all damage to the time line, all vessels were returned to the present. ("Only a Matter of Time" [BAN]). While hosting a scientific experiment, the Banshee had to be evacuated when several viscous alien creatures escaped, leaving a few sparse crewmembers behind to fend for themselves. Thanks to efforts for the USS Explorer's crew, the Banshee was cleared of the aliens and towed back to a starbase for repair. ("Things That Go Bump In The Night" [BAN]). The Banshee's computer systems were affected by a computer virus of Cardassian origin in late 2375. The virus was delivered along a particle backwash that traveled up one of the Banshee's phaser beams. The ship believed itself to be a Cardassian warship and tried to subdue the crew, which it believed to be a group of intruders, and sped off to Cardassian space. Lieutenant Carn was successful in switching to the backup computer core and purging the virus from the system before the Banshee crossed the Cardassian border. ("Shatterframe" [BAN])/ In 2376, the Banshee was attacked and taken over by Dominion troops who worked for the Deimos Cult. Only a few of the command crew remained onboard, but they were successful in retaking the ship and stopping it from crashing into the planet Mordor ("Where Angels Fear to Tread, Part Three [BAN]). The Banshee's Section 31 identity was nearly revealed to the Federation public by a reporter from the Federation Times named Paul Hoerbelt and a cult like group known as the Society for the Pursuit of Truth. ("The Truth Is Out There" [BAN]) The Banshee was again almost hijacked, this time by mirror counterparts of the ship's crew who sought to escape the Klingon-Cardassian alliance. ("Two of a Kind" [BAN]) The Banshee was named after a spirit in Celtic mythology that is said to wail outside a home when death is coming. One can see how that applies to the ship.

BARADDA, FUIL: The Secondprize was assigned to transport Ambassador Baradda to his next assignment. Unknowingly, they picked up Myna, a Jeral terrorist impersonator instead. The real Baradda, an elderly man, eventually accompanied the Secondprize to Jeral to negotiate a peace between the Audubans and the Boirds. ("Star Traks 4" [TRK])

BARVAN TWELVE: A planet the Aerostar was asked to divert course to in order to recruit the species into an anti-Flarn alliance. Things didn't go totally well ("All in a Day's Work" [VEX]).

BASAHM: Short for "Big Ass Scary as Hell Monster," a name given to this creature by the original Starfleet survey team to encounter it. The basahm is ten feet tall and five feet wide. Its mouth, which is filled with sharp, pointy teeth, takes up the creatures entire torso. Basahms are nocturnal and practically invulnerable to phaser fire. The original survey team, which Alexander Rydell was on, was able to kill one at phaser setting twelve. Rydell and Beck faced down a basahm when Lt. Terris stranded them on Nu Epsilon Twelve. Fortunately, they were rescued before the basahm could make a nice meal out of them. ("Star Traks 5" [TRK])

BATHENA: President of Bracktia Prime. Bathena was very concerned about the looming threat of a civil war on Bracktia Prime, so she could not openly assist Morales' efforts to free Nelson and Porter from the Hinaree. ("Star Traks 5" [TRK])

BATONIS FIVE: A ringed gas giant. During the Secondprize's second battle with the Mitgogae, Carr attempted to hide the Secondprize among the ice chunks in the planet's rings. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

BATONIS SYSTEM: A barren star system consisting of twelve planets. The Forever moon was located in orbit of Batonis Six. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

BAUGHB: The meek waiter at the Ic'hasssssst V'kelsnet Andorian restaurant on Waystation. He is Commander Beck's usual waiter. ("Gridlock" [WAY])

BAXTER, HARLAN: Father of Andrew Baxter, Harlan had a long and successful career in Starfleet, ranging from Chief of Internal Affairs, to Ambassador to Breen, to Director of the Explorer Project. Harlan was and always will be goal-oriented, a trait Andrew never quite aquired. Harlan retired from his post as Chief of Internal affairs in 2375, shortly after being replaced by a Changeling ("Confrontations" [VEX]). He and his wife, Lucille, lived aboard USS Explorer with their son for a period of about seven months, during which time they drove their son and his wife absolutely batty. They left when Lucille was awarded the command of the USS Trafalgar and Harlan was given the job of Ambassador to Breen ("Birds of a Feather" [VEX]). Harlan left Breen after several attempts on his life, and the lives of the visiting Andrew Baxter and Janice Browning ("Thin Ice" [VEX]). He then lived aboard the Pathfinder, his wife's new ship, until such time as he applied for and got the position of Director of the Explorer Project, from Commodore Velara, who was quite ready to get out.

BAXTER, ANDREW JACKSON: Captain of the USS Explorer. Captain Baxter spent many years as an inconspicuous low-level inventory officer aboard the USS Secondprize. He worked his way, unnoticed, through the ranks for ten years, accepting the inevitable fact that he wouldn't amount to much. This probably stemmed from a crushing defeat at a Starfleet Academy training exercise at the hands of Cadet Alvin Ficker ("Friendly Wagers" [VEX]). He doesn't have an altogether fruitful relationship with his parents, either ("Relative Problems" [VEX]). He's always had a less than spectacular self esteem. Baxter was reassigned from the Secondprize to command of the USS Aerostar in 2374 ("The Road to Nowhere, Part One" [VEX]). The Aerostar was promptly sling-shotted into the Delta Quadrant. Once there, he immediately began making friends with the natives, such as the Flarn and the Maloxians ("The Road to Nowhere, Part Two" [VEX]). He visited Captain James T. Kirk, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and others in the Nexus Ribbon ("Wrapped in the Ribbon" [VEX]), got his brain beamed into Commander Travis Dillon's ("Dillon's Brain" [VEX]), made love to an official on a planet ruled by women ("Diplomatic Relations" [VEX]) and went back in time to twentieth century Earth a couple times ("Out of Time" [VEX] and "Irma's Fury" [VEX]). In 2375, he took command of the USS Explorer. Since then, his tenure aboard the Explorer has included crashing into a planet ("Land Ho!" [VEX]), getting overtaken by Borg dogs ("It's a Dawg's Life" [VEX]) and combating the members of a happy universe ("Worlds Apart" [VEX]). He married Counselor Kelly Peterman in 2375 ("Prior Engagements" [VEX]) and as of late 2377 has been working feverishly to conceive a child with her. He was temporarily relieved of duty as commander of the Explorer in 2376 ("Down to Earth" [VEX]) and was put in charge of Inventory on Earth. He somehow got back command ("All Aboard!" [VEX]). His favorite hobbies include football and, since an odd shift in the space-time continuum, lacrosse ("Rapid Eye Movement" [VEX]). He has a small Jack Russell terrier named Pandora, who shares his quarters with Peterman and her array of pets. He hopes one day to retire on earth with his wife, some kids, and a house full of pets.

BAXTER, ANDREW JACKSON (20th Century Version): College student in 1996 on Earth, whose life gets turned topsy-turvey for a couple years due to repeated incursions by 24th century baddies, not to mention torment by a lovely large lady named Irma ("Out of Time" & "The Wrath of Irma" [VEX]).

BAXTER, LUCILLE: Like her husband, Harlan, Lucille Baxter has had an illustrious Starfleet carreer. Recent postings include First Officer of the USS Goodall, Captain of the USS Trafalgar (which exploded), and Captain of the USS Pathfinder (a member of the Explorer Project). Her husband was always the silent partner in the relationship, and although both wish success for their son, she is the one who most mettles in his life, to his understandable chagrin. Even though their son is commander of a mighty vessel, and married to a beautiful woman, they still want more for him, and continue to bug him about his many nagging problems. He tries to write to him at least twice a year. Lucille's accomplishments while in command of the Trafalgar include leading a strike force into the heart of Leeramar territory in 2376, only to have to turn back ("Swamped" [VEX]). She also lead an attack on the Starshine kids in 2377, only to be blown up ("Welcome Aboard! [VEX]). She led a subsequent attack on them less than a week later, now in command of the Pathfinder, and she gave them the a**-kicking of a lifetime ("All Hands on Deck!" [VEX]).

BAXTER-PETERMAN BET: A betting pool begun aboard the Aerostar in 2374, on the exact time that the Captain and Counselor would finally consummate their mutual attraction. Mirk won ("Diplomatic Relations" [VEX]).

"BE A GREAT DETECTIVE": A correspondence course Dillon was taking briefly. It was one of his many fleeting interests. ("Every Dillon Has His Day" [TRK])

BEAN BAG CHAIRS: The furniture of choice in Counselor Webber's office. ("Family Counseling" [TRK])

BEAR: Dillon encountered a bear while stranded on a desolate planet. Believing the bear might be an intelligent life form that just happened to look like a bear, Dillon attempted to communicate with it. The bear swatted Dillon with his paw. This incident prompted Dillon to create Regulation Suggestion 26: Upon seeing a bear or bear-like creature, the policy is to stun first and ask questions later. ("Alone on Christmas" [TRK])

"BE-BOP-A-BOLIAN": Hit record of Fabe and Mabe. It is also one of Commander Conway's favorite albums. ("Of Gods and First Officers" [TRK, VEX])

BECK, CHRISTINE: Lisa Beck's mother. She was a spacecraft systems designer for Astro-Tech. ("Trials of Youth" [REJ])

BECK, KATHY: Lisa Beck's younger sister. During family vacations to their summer house on an island off the coast of North Carolina, Lisa would study while Kathy would suntan or help their mother. ("That Sinking Feeling" [WAY])

BECK, LARRY: Male version of Lisa Beck from the universe immediately following ours. ("Star Traks 2" [TRK])

BECK, LISA DIANE: Lisa Beck was born in a small town in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina. Her mother and father both worked for Astro-Tech, a spacecraft design firm that Starfleet often contracted with. Beck's mother, Christine, had dreamed of being a Starfleet officer, but she was not accepted into the academy. After regrouping, she found a new goal for her life: seeing to it that her eldest daughter, Lisa, succeeded where she had failed. Beck was never forced to pursue a career in Starfleet, but her parents did provide her with holovids, Junior Starfleet toys, a membership in the Starfleet Scouts, and summers at Starfleet Preparatory Camps. Beck's decision to join Starfleet was finalized at the age of eleven after her close friend Stephanie Hodges' brother Joel was snatched by an Andorian cult who believed he was their god. Beck and Hodges pursued the Andorians and even managed to stow away aboard their ship but quickly found themselves in over their heads. Beck was able to contact Starfleet for help and, after seeing real Starfleet officers in action, decided that was what she wanted to do with her life. ("Trials of Youth" [REJ]) From then on, Beck was devoted to getting into the Academy. She even spent vacations to the family's beach house on a small island just off the coast of North Carolina studying while her younger sister Kathy played or helped their mother. Beck was accepted into the academy and focused her studies on linguistics and communications. She'd found during her adventure with the Andorians that she had a knack for languages and that she found theirs quite beautiful. She went so far as to request an Andorian for her roommate at the Academy. Her roommate introduced her to Andorian cuisine and took Beck back to Andor for the Festival of Garnish. After graduation, Beck was posted to the xenolinguistics department at Starfleet Headquarters and earned a promotion to lieutenant for her work on translating the language of the Duralins, which consisted solely of a series of flashing lights and arcing electrical bursts. Beck's parents were both killed in a transport accident during this period. Her parents' deaths, particularly that of her mother who had so wanted Beck to join Starfleet, was a wake-up call for Beck. She realized that, despite her skill at her job, she was bored, a state that would become a common theme throughout her career. She wanted to be out on a starship, but there just wasn't a call for communications officers anymore. Modern universal translator protocols had made them unnecessary. After learning that the USS Secondprize had accidentally been constructed with an old-fashioned bridge, including communications console, Beck requested a transfer to the ship, making her the only officer to actually request a post on the Secondprize. Her inclination towards command showed itself early. She took charge of the operation to find out what unfortunate woman Commander Dillon was interested in dating and generally was the central member of the group of friends formed by the Secondprize's female bridge officers. ("Reason to Panic" [TRK]). Her abilities came to the attention of Captain Rydell during the Joegonot mission. After Counselor Webber abdicated command while the ship was under attack, Beck took over and repelled the Joegonot ships. She also sent a rescue team down to Ugilious and helped Scott Baird capture the saboteur on board the Secondprize. ("Star Traks 1" [TRK]) When Rydell was kidnapped by Zero, Beck commanded the Secondprize while Dillon, Jaroch, and Sullivan investigated the temporal anomalies emanating from Dr. Azar's laboratory. ("Star Traks 2" [TRK]) Beck offered the use of her family's beach house, which Beck had inherited, to Webber and Sullivan for their experiment in retraining Scott Baird's personality. Her role in this plot also made her a victim of Baird's revenge prank. ("Star Traks 3" [TRK]) Risking her career, Beck, with the help of Lt. Porter, disobeyed Ambassador Baradda's direct orders and freed Hawkins and Dillon from a sabotaged holodeck. Fortunately, Baradda actually turned out to be a terrorist, so the disobeying orders charge wasn't really an issue. ("Star Traks 4" [TRK]) A few months later, Beck was feeling restless again. She'd been with the Secondprize for almost three years, but she realized that there weren't many opportunities for career advancement in the communications field. Fortunately for her, the Secondprize ran into the Multeks. Beck's first assignment was to find a way to translate the Multek language, which came across as a series of screeches. She also had to contend with Jaroch's derisive barbs about her translation speed. In order to learn more about the Multeks, Beck accompanied Dillon, Jaroch, and Russell to Edgeworld, where she was able to create a translation matrix just before the team was captured by a Multek ship. While Jaroch and Russell escaped back to the Secondprize with a captured Multek, Beck remained on the ship with Dillon to try to disable the Multeks' shields. They were rescued by the Secondprize moments before the Multeks vaporized them. Based on Beck's performance during the Multek mission and her prior record, Starfleet decided to promote her to command her and put her in charge of Waystation, a thrown-together space station Starfleet was establishing near Multek space. While at Starbase 219 to supervise the construction of Waystation, she and Captain Rydell learned that, Lt. Terris, an officer on the Spacedock was a Romulan spy. Terris transported Beck and Rydell to the hostile planet below the starbase, where they were almost killed by the resident wildlife. Baird and Dr. Aldridge rescued Beck and Rydell and captured Terris. A few weeks later, Beck finally got her station, which was promptly attacked by the Romulans and the Multeks. Beck was able to stop the battle and establish contact with Wuddle, the Multek captain. She also met and immediately disliked Colonel Lazlo of the Federation Marine battalion assigned to Waystation. ("Star Traks 5" [TRK]) Lazlo did not like taking orders from a Starfleet officer and was even more enraged when his pilot, Stephanie Hodges, turned out to be one of Beck's oldest friends. He moved his marines to Ridalis Two to escape Beck, but she had to come rescue them after they were attacked by the planet's squirrels. ("Send the Marines" [WAY]) Boredom with station life prompted Beck to go on a scouting mission with Porter on Stardate 50357. The two were captured by a Multek carnival operator who wished to display them. Beck was seriously injured by a Multek forcefield but recovered enough to escape from her cage with Porter. ("Field Trip" [WAY]) She later infiltrated the Happy Universe pretending to be her Happy counterpart, Mistress Beck, in order to rescue Tina Jones. ("Close to Home" [WAY]) Beck's continued boredom on Waystation was almost her undoing when Karyna arrived on the station and tempted her with the power of the Q. Beck briefly abandoned the station to roam the universe with Karyna looking for new and different pleasures. At the time, she was also furious with Russell for his disobedience of her orders and gave in to the temptation offered by Karyna to torture him. She came to her senses before she could cause too much harm. Unfortunately, her anger at Russell had also prompted her to make Lazlo chief of security on Waystation. With Beck gone with Karyna, he and his marines staged takeover. Learning of this, Beck returned to Waystation with Karyna to give Lazlo what was coming to him. The arrival of the Q Karyna had gotten her powers from changed everything. Karyna tried to kill most of the crew will fighting Q. Realizing Karyna's true nature, Beck attacked her, giving Q a change to recover from Karyna's assault. Karyna turned all her anger on Beck, but Russell tacked the demi-god before she could kill Beck. Q took Karyna's powers, ending the crisis. With the danger past, Beck and the other Waystation crewmembers decided to pretend none of it had ever happened. Otherwise, they all could have been facing court-martial for various charges. ("That Sinking Feeling" [WAY]) Beck's command was almost completely destroyed when Waystation was engulfed in riots then sliced in half by Lazlo's badly aimed phaser blasts. ("Gridlock" [WAY]) Beck requested help from Starfleet, which decided to renovate the entire station. During the renovation, Beck was forced to share a cargo module with Dr. Nelson. The two fought at first over just about everything but gradually became close friends. During the renovation, Beck and Hodges went on leave to Sargonis, an snow-covered world with fantastic skiing. While there, Beck became involved with Banyon Kovacs, a Starfleet Intelligence operative. Beck helped Kovacs steal a stolen item back from the Orion Syndicate and had a brief romance with him. The entire experience rejuvenated Beck and restored her sense of fun that she felt she had lost. ("You May Meet a Stranger" [WAY]) The fun almost came to an abrupt stop when Beck, along with Bradley Dillon, Jones, and three Starfleet higher-ups, was taken hostage by the Starshine Kids while on a tour of the renovated station. Before Sesil could brainwash her with his orb, Beck was snatched into the non-material plain by Leximas, who needed her help to battle the Critics. Beck's experience with Karyna gave her some knowledge of how to handle situations outside of normal reality. She created a non-material image of serial killer Michael Myers to keep the Critics busy while her crew retook Waystation on the material plane. With the Starshine Kids captured and the Critics' plans ruined, Beck was finally able to take command of her renovated station. ("Lip Lock" [WAY]) Beck made another trip to the Happy Universe several months later during a visit from the USS Explorer. Beck and the Explorer's captain, Andy Baxter, where both captured by Jean-Jean Picard and subjected to the Happy ray. Fortunately, Dr. Browning of the Explorer was able to reverse the effects. ("Worlds Apart" [VEX]) By the time of the Forever incident ten years later, Beck had been promoted to admiral and had returned to Earth. She was informed of the Forever situation and ordered to take the Secondprize officers involved in the whole mess to Forever to see if they could stop the destruction of the universe. Her first stop was to pick up Alexander Rydell from the resort he owned. Since she had taken command of Waystation, Beck and Rydell had become good friends through their common bond as commanding officers. While the Secondprize Five took care of things on Forever, Beck manned the tactical console on the Secondprize during the ship's battle with the Mitgogae. She, along with Carr, Trinian, and Sullivan, boarded the Mitgogae to stop Morticent and rescue Craig Porter. One year later, she visited Rydell shortly after the birth of his daughter. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

BECK, LISA (20th Century Version): Lisa was married to Carl Jaroch. ("Star Traks 6" [TRK]) She became very upset at FBI Agents Scully and Mulder when they caused Carl to have a past life outburst. ("Out of Time" [VEX]) Lisa and Carl died at a very old age after living full lives. ("The Way We Were" [WAY])

BEEF STROGANOFF: Michael Rennicks was denied admission to the Culinary Institute of the Galaxy because his beef stroganoff didn't meet their standards. After tasting the dish, Rydell had to agree. Dr. Aldridge was forced to request an emergency shipment of antacids from Starfleet to deal with the after effects of eating the stroganoff. ("Hostage Crisis" [TRK])

BELCHUS: River on Kilma Omega IV. Each new baby is brought to the river to drink from its waters in hope that he or she is the Gaseous One foretold in the writings of the Obnoxious Belchers. Commander Dillon fell into the Belchus and emitted a burp loud enough to make people think he was the Gaseous One. He was later, after making a speech that seemed to go on forever, dubbed the Great Windbag. ("Belch-O-Rama" [TRK])

BELDANA: A Delta Quadrant world visited by the Aerostar in 2374, entreated to take part in an anti-Flarn alliance. Negotiations didn't go all that well ("Diplomatic Relations" [VEX]).

BENDREN: A wily criminal from the planet Paladia who attempted to steal the Aerostar in 2374 by use of killer amusement rides ("Dangerous Amusements" [VEX]).

BERENGATTI: A reclusive, troll-like, race in the Delta Quadrant with a high level of technology. Because Captain Baxter's mind had been merged with Commander Travis Dillon's, a whole quadrant away, Commander Conway was forced to lead the diplomatic effort, and failed miserably ("Dillon's Brain" [VEX]).

BERMUDA EXPANSE: A very unstable portion of space approximate to the starfleet outpost Waystation, in the Veltran system. This purple anomaly, a mix of gravitic disturbances, uncompressed space gas, and cheese, was responsible for sending the Aerostar, Explorer, and countless other vessels to the Delta Quadrant ("The Road to Nowhere" [VEX]). It was also responsible for sending Explorer and here crew to a "happy" universe ("Worlds Apart" [VEX]) and sending Megan Hartley and others aboard the Escort back in time to the Aerostar's launch ("Rapid Eye Movement" [VEX]). No one knows exactly why or how the Bermuda Expanse exists, but many suggest that it has something to do with the giant eyeball-shaped godlike creatures who reside there.

BERNIE'S: A coffee shop frequented by Beck and Hodges in their youth. ("Send the Marines" [WAY])

BETAZOIDS: Humanoid species native to the planet Betazed. Betazoids are identical in appearance to Humans, though they possess slightly different internal make-ups. Their one noticeable quality is that they possess extremely powerful mental abilities. These abilities range from thought reading to telekinesis and temporary mind control. Betazoids are often enlisted as counselors aboard Federation star ships. Lieutenant Ariel Tilleran of the USS Explorer and Captain Jad Vorezze of the USS Banshee are both Betazoids. ("Penguin Dreams and Stranger Things" [VEX] "Resistance is Futile, Part One" [BAN])

BIBBLE: Porter took this name when he pretended to be a Multek captain in order to trick the Multeks into helping them retake Waystation from the Starshine Kids. ("Lip Lock" [WAY])

BICYCLE: Commander Scott Baird's favorite mode of transportation. He particularly enjoys biking through very cold climates while wearing shorts and a T-shirt. On Kilma Omega IV, Baird was forced to decide between saving his bicycle from thieves or saving the life of Emily Sullivan. It was a very tough call. ("Belch-O-Rama" [TRK])

BILLY: Bradley Dillon's account representative at the Third Cosmos Bank of Alpha Centauri. He helped Bradley stop the Ferengi from stealing Bradley's new-found wealth. ("Dividends" [WAY])

BIONEURAL GEL-PACKS: The living information transfer system aboard the Aerostar and Explorer. Nobody's really sure how they work ("Road to Nowhere, Part One" [VEX], "Nantucket Sleighride" [VEX]). I bioneural gel-pack once explode all over Captain Velorn while he was working with an ensign on a lower deck of the Banshee during his Pon Farr. Being covered in slippery goo didn't help the situation any. ("Those Old Pon Farr Blues" [BAN]).

BISHOP, ENSIGN: One of Russell's security officers on Waystation. Bishop assisted in the stakeout of the Klingon Formal Wear Shop. ("That Sinking Feeling" [WAY])

BOIRD: One of the rival factions fighting a civil war on Jeral. ("Star Traks 4" [TRK])

BONIALIA BLOSSOM: Coffee blend Carr served to Admiral Cooper on their flight to the Secondprize. The Admiral felt it was a "damn fine cup of coffee." Unfortunately, it was also toxic to humans and almost killed him before Carr could get him to medical attention on the Secondprize. ("Choice Blend" [TRK])

BONIALIA BLASTER: Fictional weapon Carr threatened to use on the Audrianis if they didn't allow her to proceed through their space. ("Choice Blend" [TRK])

BOOMER: One of Counselor Peterman's two pomeranians. The other is named Starbuck. They are both named after characters on an obscure Earth television show that Peterman has probably never heard of. It's all coincidence.

BOURNAS SIX: Site of the archaeological dig where the Rankol Amulet was discovered. ("Of Gods and First Officers" [TRK, VEX])

"BOWDEN'S MOON": A very popular holovision show created by Clephsus Grenenenenenenenen, also known as "The Lord of the Moon." The show's rabid fans, known as Bowsers, became very upset when L'nas Kol, a former show employee, wrote a nasty tell-all book about Clephsus. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

BOWHOUSE, WOOFUS T.: Imaginary canine friend Hawkins had as a child. ("The Hawkins Incident" [REJ])

BOWSERS: Devoted fans of "Bowden's Moon," a holovision show created by Clephsus Grenenenenenenenen. The Bowsers were enraged when former show staffer, L'nas Kol wrote a nasty tell-all book about Clephsus. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

BOZO OF BORG: Clownified spokesman of the group of Borg used by the Security Entity to attempt to kill Hawkins. ("Fear Has A Red Nose" [TRK])

BRACKTIA PRIME: Planet inhabited by the Bracktians as well as their symbiont species, the Brackto. Dr. Amelia Nelson was doing symbiont research on Bracktia Prime when she was assigned to the Chief Medical Officer position on Waystation. A civil war was brewing on Bracktia Prime between Bracktians who supported symbiosis and those who felt it was basically a form of slavery to the Brackto. The anti-symbiont group had united themselves into a terrorist organization called the Hinaree. ("Star Traks 5" [TRK])

BRADLEY DILLON'S PLEASURE GLOBE CASINOWORLD: A massive casino resort opened by Bradley Dillon. Trinian agreed to work as a bartender there for five years in exchange for use of a spaceship. She had no intention of holding up her end of the deal. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

BRAHMAPUTRA, USS: Danube Class Federation runabout, registry number NCC-76230, permanently stationed aboard the USS Banshee. During the Banshee's drafting into Section 31, it was the last of the runabouts to receive cloaking devices. ("Hellion" [BAN]) A year later, the Brahmaputra was hijacked by Lt. Cmdr. Vincent DiSanto when he attempted to return to the Borg Collective. The Brahmaputra was captured and assumed destroyed or assimilated, though DiSanto was recovered. ("Collective" [BAN]). The Brahmaputra was named for a river running through northeastern India and parts of Bangladesh.

BRAKIW: The general in charge of the Cenkellan military. He commanded the Cenkellan effort to retake their capitol building from Commander Conway. ("Of Gods and First Officers" [TRK, VEX])

BREAKFAST ON A STICK: Restaurant aboard Waystation that serves a variety of foods, all on a stick. Lt. Sean Russel had an awful accident involving skewers here in 2374. He did not press charges. ("Road to Nowhere, Part One" [VEX])

BREEN SEVEN SPA AND GARDENS: Resort visited by Morticent and Guardian #492 where they received word that Forever had reactivated. Morticent was very fond of the resort's seven-armed Loifred masseuse. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

BRIDGE MODULE 47-SOV: Sovereign Class bridge module that was attached to the USS Banshee when it was launched on stardate 50987. This bridge module was later destroyed by a torpedo from the Triaxis in 2374. ("The Dark Fleet, Part One" [BAN]). In 2376, the module was discovered adrift in space by the Society for the Pursuit of Truth in the Orium Sector. The module was intact save damage to the ceiling, allowing members of the SPT to extract not only computer data and the dedication plaque, but dated log entries that proved the Banshee was in operation after it's assumed destruction in 2374. ("The Truth is Out There, Part One" [BAN]).

BRIGGS, PAUL: A celebrated interior decorater, fashion designer, and hairdresser, Paul Briggs is closest on the crew to Kelly Peterman, and in fact designed her wedding dress ("Prior Engagements" [VEX]). Briggs also helped the Explorer through some tough design and color scheme problems, and runs a respectable fashion/design/hair salon on the second floor of Ship's Shoppes, USS Explorer's mall.

BROWNIE: The wholly ebullient counterpart of Doctor Janice Browning. Makes Janice seem downright grumpy ("Happy to See You" [VEX]).

BROWNING, DOCTOR JANICE: Doctor Janice Browning really doesn't have the bedside manner necessary to be a doctor. She's not a mean person--she tries to be friendly--she just has a short attention span and loves to eat. And interestinlgy enough, she's always kept a great figure.

BROWNING, JANICE (20th Century Version): Friend to 20th century Andy and Dave, Janice is also the proud mother of a young girl named Madison, delivered by a VERY familiar face ("Out of Time" [VEX]).

BUBBLES: Alias used by Commander Dan Smith while attempting to retrieve Commander Ashley Donovan from Sytarnan Three. Dan objected to using the name, but was forced to when Captain Vorezze cited that Lt. Cmdr. Vince DiSanto had been Bubbles on their last mission and it was therefore his turn for the name. ("Shine On You Crazy Cult, Part One [VEX]).

BUCK: The true name of the Berengatti species leader. Commander Conway, on first contact, thought his name was "Berengatti" ("Dillon's Brain" [VEX]) See also "Berengatti."

BULK: An exceptionally large and threatening Ferengi serving on Gribnob's ship. ("Dividends" [WAY])

BURNS, COMMANDER CHARLOTTE: First officer of the Section 31 starship Banshee. Charlotte is known as a slut throughout Starfleet, often causing her to command little respect from those she works with. ["Resistance is Futile, Part I" [BAN]). Early in her career, Charlotte was assigned to a Federation facility located in the Southern California region on Earth. There she met the man who she believed to be the love of her life, who also happened to be an avid surfer. When Lt. Carn suffered a severe electrical shock that caused him to enter "Burnt Out Surfer Mode," Charlotte was reminded of her past love, causing her to promptly hit on Carn and take him to bed. ("A Day In The Life Of Carn" [BAN]). Charlotte was the original commanding officer of the Banshee when it was launched due to a shortage of command personnel. She only enjoyed a brief period as the Banshee's commander before she was replaced by Captain Jad Vorezze and given a promotion to first officer and a permanent assignment. ["Tolkien III" [REJ]) Charlotte was possessed by the spirit of an unruly demon who attempted to take over the ship in 2375, but an exorcism proved to be effective in getting rid of it. ("Hellion" [BAN]). Charlotte was later killed when the main bridge of the Banshee was destroyed by a torpedo from the Voran warship Triaxis. It was later found, however, that the after life didn't want her or any of the other Banshee crewmembers, and she was returned to life. ("The Dark Fleet, Part I and II" [BAN]) Immediately afterwards, she headed up a successful mission to destroy the Voran spacedocks, but was nearly eaten by a large, hungry sewer monster in the process. ("The Dark Fleet, Part III" [BAN]) One of the most traumatic experiences Charlotte was forced to endure was being caught in the machinery of one of the Banshee's bowling alleys. Aside from being physically painful, she was forced to endure hours of recited Scripture from Counselor Emily Stokes. She was given a concussion when she was freed by Lieutenant Carn. ("Basic Survival Instinct" [BAN]) Charlotte helped save the life of Captain Velorn in 2376, when she (easily) submitted to having sex with Velorn to save him from the ravages of Pon Farr. ("Those Old Pon Farr Blues" [BAN]) Later, Charlotte and 5 other Banshee crewmembers took a vacation to the planet Mordor. Though a series of conflicts with the Deimos Cult turned the vacation into a disaster, Charlotte averted death by having sex with one of the members. ("Where Angels Fear to Tread, Parts I - III" [BAN]). When Captain Vorezze and Captain Velorn were captured by the Society for the Pursuit of Truth, Charlotte assumed command of the Banshee. While in power, she threatened to leave Vorezze and Velorn after she learned that everyone on the Banshee's senior staff knew about Section 31 Headquarters except her. She led the Banshee to Section 31 Headquarters and met, much to her dismay, with Admiral Larry Walker. She then executed the successful rescue plan and resumed her executive officer post.("The Truth Is Out There" [BAN]).

BURNS, CHARLOTTE (MIRROR): Prisoner of the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in the mirror universe. In mid 2376, Charlotte (mirror) and a handful of other escapees fled their prison camp and found a rift that led them to our universe and to the USS Banshee. Charlotte (mirror) attempted to commandeer the Banshee and send the real counterparts to the mirror universe, but was thwarted when her boytoy-on-a-leash, Jad Vorezze (mirror), stopped her, sick of being Charlotte (mirror)'s love slave. ("Two of a Kind" [BAN]). Anyone else find it odd that the only constant between the two universes seems to be Charlotte's sluttyness?

BYTELLUS II: A planet formerly at war with Bytellus III. They provided the technology for Bytellus III's new television station in a technology exchange and were believed for a short time to be the source of the stupidity virus. The culprit turned out to be the station manager. ("A Serious Case of the Stupids" [TRK])

BYTELLUS III: A world ravaged by a stupidity virus. The Secondprize visited Bytellus III on Stardate 49752 to offer assistance. ("A Serious Case of the Stupids" [TRK])

BYTELLIANS: Residents of Bytellus III. The Bytellians were afflicted with a stupidity virus, which the USS Secondprize was able to cure. ("A Serious Case of the Stupids" [TRK])

CAMERON, LYDIA: Commander of the Akira-class USS Hoboken. Cameron was responsible for taunting Captain Baxter about his pregnancy in 2375, and helped the Explorer crew defeat an incursion from the Federation of Fun in 2376 by letting them turn her and her whole crew happy. A known friend and confidant of Lucille Baxter. ("Worlds Apart" [VEX])

CAPTAIN, 4 OF 8: Individual formally known as Gerson from Species #2553. Gerson's extremely devout family - an odd sect (worshiping rock-and-roll idols from Terra's mid to late 20th century) of a highly religious race - was the cause for him to elist on a disintegrating tramp freighter by the name "Jezebel of the Twins" ("Captain's Tale" [REJ]; "In-laws of Relativity" [BRG]). The freighter was captured 27 years prior by the Borg and her crew assimilated ("Captain's Tale" [REJ]; "In-Laws of Relativity" [BRG]). Captain was originally slated to be assigned to engineering of Cube #347, but obtained his current position in the Hierarchy of Eight after an accident terminated the previous drone designated 4 of 8 ("Captain's Tale" [REJ]). 4 of 8's first rotation into Captain saw Cube #347 transported to an alternate universe where the Ferrengi-controlled Federation Hegemony was on the verge of wiping out the final resistance to their ultra-capitalistic empire. His assistance (and that of the sub-collective) allowed the Borg opposition to prevail in a key battle ("Captain's Tale" [REJ]). Captain, as with the other in the Hierarchy of Eight when it is their turn, does not like the position of Captain, but he doesn't have much say in the matter. The nodal intersection Captain frequents (and his alcove) are located in subsection 17, submatrix 10 ("Cube #347's Excellent Adventure, Part II"; "When Borg Attack" [BRG]). The intersection sports a very non BorgStandard viewscreen, which he picked up and installed ("The Only Certainty in Life is Borg and Taxes" [BRG]) because he really does not like raw sensor data ("Captain's Tale" [REJ]; "This is Borg"; "The Only Certainty in Life is Borg and Taxes" [BRG]). As far as things he does like, "Jumba the Wise Lizard" novels top the list ("The Only Certainty in Life is Borg and Taxes"; "A Fish Story" [BRG]). Captain's most recent rotation has more full of incidents than usual. He has been kidnapped several times: by his biological family ("In-Laws of Relativity" [BRG]), by the diety of species #8511, Ghari ("A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste" [BRG]), and was one of the first on Cube #347 to be bandersnatched ("Of Jabberwock, Jubjub Birds, and Bandersnatch" [BRG]). The entire Collective was controlled by Captain for several hours due to a mix-up, after which he was a special guest interviewee on the Federation's premier talk show, The Zyrian Hour ("Drag Queen" [BRG]). It has been noted that much of Captain's left side is cybernized ("Bringing Up Baby"; "Me, Myself, and I" [BRG]). The current rotation has been no picnic when it comes to personal safety and health. Captain has suffered massive implant rejection due to malfunctioning nanoprobes ("Please State the Nature of the Medical Emergency" [BRG]), been set as bait to capture a rogue drone which subsequently attacked him before being brought under control ("Bringing Up Baby" [BRG]), and been assaulted by a Luplup brooder, both in the dataspaces and physically ("How Much Is That Doggy In The Window?" [BRG]; "Dog Days of Summer" [BRG]). Other incidents which have occurred include meeting an alternate self while in an alternate reality ("Captain's Tale" [REJ]), being split (along with the rest of Cube #347) into perfect/very unperfect drone ("Two Much of a Good Thing" [BRG]), and acting as a liaison between the sub-collective and the Banshee crew when the latter managed to transport themselves on board and fling the entire package eight thousand years to the past ("Cube #347's Excellent Adventure" Part II-III [BRG]). 

CARL: Overly inquisitive member of the Zenedron Construction Group team that renovated Waystation. He kept pestering Porter during Porter's survey of the saucer from the USS Cheever. ("That's the Spirit" [WAY])

CARN, LIUETENANT: Android officer assembled by Dr. Moong, a scientist noted for copying the work of famous android designer Dr. Soong. ("Prophecy Fulfilled" [BAN]) Carn did not know it, but he was built by Dr. Moong under the auspices of the Dominion and sent to spy on the Banshee, which, had it not been inducted into Section 31, would have led the largest Federation battle group during the war. But while on the ship, still under construction at the time, he suffered an electrical malfunction that caused him to believe he was a member of the crew. ("A Day In The Life Of Carn." [BAN]). Carn is just one of many androids that Moong produced, all of them having the same obsession with music from Earth's 1970's period. ("The Truth Is Out There, Part One" [BAN]). Carn also includes various personality algorithms, including normal Benign Android mode, Ghetto Ebonics mode and Burnt Out Surfer mode. ("A Day In the Life Of Carn" [BAN]). Carn is also designed as a walking storage and survival unit. His nose can be pulled off and used as a compass, his biceps contain cups for protein milkshakes he dispenses from his pinky finger and other capabilities he claims are best left unsaid. ("The Eclair Witch Project" [BAN]). Carn was assigned to the Banshee yet somehow he was never given a post. This only served to confuse the android, who often times just sat on the bridge doing nothing; he wasn't even given quarters of his own. ("A Day In the Life Of Carn" [BAN]). Carn has proven himself to be extremely sturdy, even surviving a direct lightning strike on several occasions. ("Natural Disaster" [BAN]). Unfortunately Carn was literally torn to pieces during the mass evacuation of the Banshee after several alien creatures broke free and began snacking on the crew. He was later reactivated and put back together. ("Things That Go Bump In The Night" [BAN]). When the Banshee was infected by a computer virus of Cardassian origin, Carn was the sole member of the crew that wasn't incapacitated and single-handedly saved the crew from being captured. ("Shatterframe" [BAN]) Shortly thereafter, Carn was in attendance of the Annual Androids Convention of 2375. En route back home, his runabout crashed and he was forced to take refuge on a planet of primitive tribesmen. The tribesmen, though, believed Carn to be a god and refused to let him leave. It took Commander Charlotte Burns and a phaser rifle to get him home. ("Prophecy Fulfilled" [BAN]). In 2373, Federation Times reporter Paul Hoerbelt attempted to use a photograph of Carn at the android convention to prove to his editor that there was good reason for him to continue investigating the Banshee's disappearance. The editor didn't buy it and Hoerbelt was fired. ("The Truth Is Out There, Part One" [BAN]). After inquiring to the absence of his quarters, the truth behind Carn's past was revealed after Captain Vorezze did research on his creator. Carn was temporarily incarcerated but escaped and retrieved the surveillance video that proved his innocence. ("A Day In The Life Of Carn" [BAN]).

CAROLINA, NORTH: Home state of Lisa Beck. Her parents owned a house on a island just off the coast. ("Star Traks 3" [TRK]) Beck grew up in the foothills of the Appalachians. ("Trials of Youth" [REJ])

CARR, ANDREA: Carr joined the Secondprize crew as an ensign assigned as a shuttle pilot. As is the case with most shuttle pilots, Carr spent her initial time on the ship in relative anonymity, composing poems while she made her shuttle runs. At most, she was known by Scott Baird as the woman with the damn dog, referring to Carr's St. Bernard-Collie mix, Morgaine le Fur. Captain Rydell first took notice of Carr when they were briefly marooned on Mandicor. Carr kept her head and was instrumental in their defeat of Logash. Also, perhaps more importantly, she turned what could have been a fatal shuttle crash into just a rough landing. ("Star Traks 4" [TRK]) Immediately after the Mandicor incident, Rydell assigned Carr to be his personal shuttle pilot. She ferried Rydell, Baird, and Dr. Singer to a sensitivity conference at Starbase 42. On the way back from this conference, Rydell's mind was swapped with a 20th century ancestor, a situation that Carr was able to help Baird resolve. ("Sensitivity 101" [TRK]) Carr was also assigned by Admiral Wagner to take Dillon, Hawkins, and Jaroch to evaluate the Starfleet Memorial Gardens designed by Wagner's sister. During this visit, Carr was trapped in the control center with Debbie Wagner when the park's power was knocked out. Knowing that the other Secondprize officers were in extreme danger from the park's "exhibits," Carr found a way to escape the sealed control center and blast her shuttle out of the building's docking bay. Her quick action quite possibly saved the lives of Dillon, Jaroch, and Hawkins. ("Star Traks 5" [TRK]) Soon after this mission, Carr and Captain Rydell were taken hostage my Michael Rennicks shortly after they left the Secondprize on their way to Starbase 37. Carr spent most of the crisis unconscious after Rennicks stunned her, but she came to in time to stop Rennicks from kicking Rydell's head in. ("Hostage Crisis" [TRK]) Carr really proved herself to Rydell on Stardate 51017 when she ferried Admiral Cooper to the Secondprize for an inspection. After serving the admiral a cup of coffee that turned out to be toxic to humans, Carr kept her wits about her and got the admiral back to Dr. Aldridge in time to save his life even though she had to pass through hostile space controlled by the Audrianis to do so. Rather than court-martialing her for poisoning the admiral, as Carr feared he would do even though it was an accident, Rydell promoted her to Operations Officer. ("Choice Blend" [TRK]) Carr also filled in as the ship's conn officer in times that Emily Sullivan was left in command. In this capacity, Carr held her own in a dogfight against the USS Defiant and kept the ship away from the weapons of the far more powerful Mitgogae. ("Star Traks 6," "Please Hold for Oblivion" [TRK]) Shortly after this, Carr was promoted to lieutenant. Commander Conway of the USS Explorer took an immediate liking to Carr during his time on the Secondprize through the First Officer Exchange Program. He took her with him on the first contact mission to Cenkella, one of her few away missions. Carr was able to convince Conway to surrender to the Cenkellans when it became clear that his rush of power after discovering that Cenkellan weapons couldn't harm humans was about to get them all killed. While there was a definite attraction between Carr and Conway, no romance developed from it. ("Of Gods and First Officers" [TRK]) Carr remained with the Secondprize for the next ten years, gradually moving up in rank to commander. On the recommendation of Jaroch, who took over captaincy of the ship after Rydell's retirement, Carr was appointed to the post of first officer approximately six months before the Forever incident. She took command while Jaroch beamed down to the Forever moon and once again had to battle the Mitgogae. Carr kept the ship together until reinforcements in the form of the USS Inevitable could arrive, then boarded the disabled Mitgogae with Beck, Sullivan, and Trinian to rescue Porter and stop Morticent and Guardian #492. Also, at some point around this time, Carr began dating one of the doctors assigned to the Secondprize. Jaroch felt this addition of romance to her life had improved her poetry immensely. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

CARR, ANDREA (20th Century Version): Andrea was a friend of Alex and Travis at Old Dominion University. ("Star Traks 6" [TRK])

CATACLYSM TORPEDOES: Powerful weapon engineered by Section 31 in 2374 in an effort to turn the tides of the Voran war. These torpedoes use a unique method of absorbing energy before firing it back in an extremely concentrated explosion. This amplitude effect can easily destroy or disable a spacecraft with the most powerful shielding. One of such torpedoes single handedly destroyed the Voran warship Triaxis during a battle at the Voran border. ("The Dark Fleet, Part Two" [BAN]). When fired at a source of near infinite energy, such as the corona of a star, a cataclysm torpedo will produce the effect that it gets its namesake by, an extremely powerful explosion, sometimes the size of a large to medium sized planet. ("Only a Matter of Time" [BAN]). Because of their difficulty to make, only the lead ships of the Federation are armed with cataclysm torpedoes, and those ships that do are limited to a stock of 10 or 20. ("Upstarts" [BAN]). Because the housing is designed to withstand incredible energy releases before detonation, they are capable of surviving a very brief journey into a star. However, when launched into a star, the energy increase causes a large solar flare to erupt almost immediately after detonation. ("Chronological Order" [BAN]).

CAVEZ, SUZANNE: Lawyer who brought Bradley Dillon the news of his huge financial windfall. ("Dividends" [WAY])

CENKELLA: The lone planet of the Cenkella system and home to the Cenkellans. The USS Secondprize went to Cenkella on Stardate 52688 on a First Contact mission. Things went badly when the away, under the command of the visiting Commander Conway, was attacked by the Cenkellans. Their weapons were useless on humans, however, allowing Conway to take control of the planet. The Cenkellans eventually figured out that plain old bullets would work and forced Conway to surrender. ("Of Gods and First Officers" [TRK, VEX])

CENKELLANS: The inhabitants of Cenkella. Cenkellans average four and a half feet tall and have reddish skin. They were just about to make their first warp flight, prompting Starfleet to send the Secondprize to initiate first contact. The Cenkellans attacked the away team under the command of the visiting Commander Conway, and, while the Cenkellans had beam weapons, something about their construction made them useless on humans. Conway went on a rampage, which the Cenkellans eventually stopped when they realized plain old bullets worked fine on humans. They eventually forced Conway to surrender. Their demands included all the steak they could eat and starship rides around the solar system. ("Of Gods and First Officers" [TRK, VEX])

CENTRUM: Spacecraft hidden by Zero in the Verolas Asteroid Belt. Singer, Zero, and Gruver took the Centrum to Deep Space Nine, where they stole the Defiant. Zero then flew the Centrum to Yyns in order to try to kill Dr. Aldridge. ("Star Traks 6" [TRK])

CENTURY 23: Real estate agency that sold the first building used as Starfleet Headquarters to Dillon and Jaroch. ("Beaming There" [TRK])

CERBERUS, USS: Cheektowaga Class vessel that serves as the flagship for the defense force around Section 31 Headquarters. The Cerebus intercepted and escorted the Banshee as it traveled to Section 31 Headquarters for assistance. ("The Truth is Out There, Part Two" [BAN]) The Cerberus was named after a vicious three headed dog that, in Greek mythology, guarded the gates of Hades against unwelcome visitors.

CERTIFICATE OF NON-EXISTENCE: Certificate given to friends and loved ones of Section 31 officers saying that the officers never existed, nor did any actions they take before they were inducted into Section 31 ever really happen. ("Shine On You Crazy Cult, Part One" [VEX]).

CESNELL, DANIELLE: A Starfleet ensign and helm officer of the USS Edsel. ("Star Traks 3" [TRK])

CHAPS: Revealing leg garments worn by the serious horse rider. Captain Baxter, unfortunately, was forced by Counselor Peterman to wear them, and swore never again to do so ("Finders Keepers" [VEX]).

CHARLIE: Charlie is Counselor Peterman's manic golden retriever. Charlie is a menace to humankind, not to mention the crew of the Explorer, and is the only thing Lt. Commander J'hana fears. Charlie was one of many pets to go insane and try to kill J'hana when the Aerostar entered a cloud that made everyone murderous in 2374 ("Clouded Judgment" [VEX]). In 2375, when a wave of transforming Disney energy overcame the Explorer, Charile was transformed into a large ogre on two feet, and nearly killed some crewmembers. Thankfully, Baxter, dressed as Goldilocks, came to the rescue ("Happily Ever Altered" [VEX]). A mysterious half-canine, half-Borg race kidnapped him later that year, but Baxter and crew managed to get him back ("Dog Gone" [VEX]). Shortly thereafter, he was sentient for a while when the Dawg inserted Lana Shar's symbiont into him ("It's a Dawg's Life" [VEX]). His favorite crotch to latch on to is Commander Conway's.

CHEEKTOWAGA CLASS STARSHIP: Powerful type of Federation spacecraft designed specifically for Section 31. While less powerful than the Sovereign Class, they are faster and more maneuverable than the Galaxy and Akira classes. The USS Cerberus was a Cheektowaga Class starship. ("The Truth is Out There, Part Two" [BAN]). The USS Atlantis was also a Cheektowaga Class vessel. ("Upstarts" [BAN]). The Cheektowaga Class was named after the city of Cheektowaga, a suburb of Buffalo, NY, and one of Star Traks: Banshee author Brad Dusen's favorite cities.

CHERRY ICEE: Captain Rydell's drink of choice. Rydell present a Cherry Icee machine to Yolek the Fourteenth as a gift. ("Belch-O-Rama" [TRK])

CHEEVER, USS: The saucer of the Cheever was used in the renovation of Waystation. ("That's the Spirit" [WAY])

CHIMERA, USS: Galaxy Class starship (NCC-74221) that served as part of the Section 31 armada that invaded Voran in 2374. ("The Dark Fleet, Part II" [BAN]).

CHUCK: Stuttering member of the Zenedron Construction Group team that renovated Waystation. ("Lip Lock" [WAY])

CICI: A nymph waiting for Rydell in his Xanth holodeck program. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK]) (NOTE: Xanth is a series of novels written by Piers Anthony. )

CLAUDIA: Debbie Wagner's assistant at the Starfleet Memorial Gardens. ("Star Traks 5" [TRK])

CLEMSON, NED: A speech-impaired member of the Aerostar engineering team ("Nantucket Sleighride" [VEX]), who met an unfortunate demise at the hands of a grisly beast on the planet Gribnar Four. ("No Trespassing" [VEX])

CLOWNS: Patricia Hawkins developed an outright phobia of clowns after being trapped on a holodeck with fifty of them that continually pelted her with pies. ("Star Traks 1" [TRK]) She started aversion therapy soon after this incident to try to cure herself. She put herself in a jungle setting on the holodeck and attempted to kill several bands of rampaging clowns. Dillon found Hawkins in this program when he offered her the first officer job on the Edsel. ("Star Traks 3" [TRK]) The Security Entity of Guulamia scanned Hawkins for her worst fear when she trespassed onto that world and then attacked the Secondprize in the form of a giant clown. After failing in its first attempt, the Security Entity commandeered a battalion of Borg, turning the entire group into Borg clowns. The Borg clowns captured Hawkins and assimilated her into Sunshine of Borg just so they could drop her off of a fake burning building at their circus and kill her. ("Fear Has a Red Nose" [TRK]) This didn't increase Hawkins' love of clowns at all. On the SS Pomposity a couple of months later, she immediately opened fire on Ragoo when the Changeling took the form of a clown mistakenly believing that Hawkins liked them. ("Cruising for Trouble" [TRK])

COLBY, PETER: Admiral in command of Starbase 37. Colby ordered Captain Rydell to attend a social gathering on the starbase for a group of delegates from the Mindax System. ("Hostage Crisis" [TRK])

COLE, LT.: USS Inevitable officer who does a great karaoke rendition of the "L'ksssanz Boogie." ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

COLE, DR HELEN: Psychiatrist in charge of Rebecca Singer's case on Stardate 51543. She and Zero's psychiatrist, Dr. Drakor, felt that Singer and Zero should meet since they were both obsessed with Alexander Rydell. She and Drakor were knocked unconscious during Singer and Zero's escape. ("Star Traks 6" [TRK])

COLUMBIA, USS: The Starfleet raceabout Beck used to pick up Rydell during the Forever incident. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

COMPROMISE: The name of Sullivan and Baird's dog. She wanted kids; he didn't, so they compromised and got a dog. Compromise was a giant, black monster of a mutt with a fondness for attacking strangers. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

COMPUCOP: Security computer system designed by Russell to monitor Waystation. He built the artificially intelligent system using parts he stole from around the station. Russell loaded Compucop with every Starfleet regulation and Federation legal code in existence in hopes that the computer would do his job and allow Russell to spend more free time on the holodeck. Russell programmed the device too well, and it began arresting personnel all over the station for even minor infractions, beaming the guilty parties directly to the brig. When Compucop filled up the brig, it converted the holodeck Russell was on into a makeshift brig, trapping him there with several angry arrestees. Morales and Jones, the only two officers not arrested, were able to stop Compucop when they faked a judgeship for Jones and threw out all of the cases. Morales and Porter, armed with phasers, then went to the secret room behind Russell's security office where Compucop was housed and blasted the floated black cube out of existence. ("House Arrest" [WAY])

CONSOLATIONPRIZE: Shuttlecraft assigned to the USS Secondprize. Admiral Wyndham stole the Consolationprize when he fled into the Nikser Asteroid Belt on Stardate 47989. ("The Hawkins Incident" [REJ]) While en route to Starbase 37 in the Consolationprize, Rydell and Carr were taken hostage by Michael Rennicks. ("Hostage Crisis" [TRK]) Carr later used the Consolationprize to transport Admiral Cooper from the USS Horizon to the Secondprize for an inspection tour. After Cooper was poisoned by a cup of alien coffee, Carr was forced to fly the shuttle through the space of the Audrianis, all the while dodging phaser blasts from the hostile species. ("Choice Blend" [TRK]) The Consolationprize had big plush seats and a much nicer sound system than the Doorprize. ("The Hawkins Incident" [REJ])

CONWAY, COMMANDER DAVID: First Officer of the Explorer. Conway is a moody, cranky officer that wants only one thing--power. Raised on the Mars colony, Conway practically grew up teething on a phaser. Not because his parents wanted him to be a starfleet officer, as Baxter's had, but because HE wanted to be a Starfleet officer. He's craved the power of command since he could crawl into a command chair. Aboard such vessels as the USS Garrison and Darwin, he's found new and exciting ways to kiss up to his superior officers. After becoming Baxter's XO, however, Conway hit something of a road-block, since he hates the captain with a passion. He does, however, love coffee, in all its various and splendid forms. Despite all his ambitions, Conway is basically a lazy, shiftless soul who can only find true happiness in the form of a black bean, or in one case, ketracel white ("Lost and Founder" [VEX]). Conway left the Aerostar briefly in 2374 to take a position at Wal-Mart inside the Nexus Ribbon Don't they have a way of popping up EVERYWHERE! ("Wrapped in the Ribbon" [VEX]). Conway's love life has been less than perfect, including being tossed into a gorge by his then-wife Alexa Lanham ("Happily Ever Altered" [VEX]) having the symbiont of his beloved Lana Shar shoved inside him, only to have it taken away ("The Host with the Most" [VEX]) and having Shar's successive host, Tyra, boss him around and try to kill him ("Keep Your Friends Close..." [VEX]). He also flirted with the idea of dating Doctor Janice Browning on a couple occasions ("Love Hurts" [VEX], "The Best Times We Never Had" [VEX]). Conway spent a brief stint as First Officer of the USS Secondprize during an exchange program in 2375 ("Of Gods and First Officers" [TRK]) only to completely botch a first contact. Conways joys other than coffee include NASCAR and the Ancient Rock of Earth's late 20th century. He has one dog, a Pembrooke Welsh corgi, Bucky. Conway's savior seems to have come in the form of command of one USS Aerostar-A, but as to his success on that ship...that's anyone's guess.

CONWAY, DAVID (20th Century Version): Pathetic ancestor of Commander David Conway, who lives in the town of Salisbury, Maryland, on 20th Century Earth. Good friend to 20th Century Andy Baxter ("Out of Time" [VEX]).

COOL RIGHTEOUS DEATH: Baird's term for a great way to die. Baird wanted to die having sex while plummeting into a black hole. He figured the time dilation effects would freeze him in an eternal orgasm. ("Of Gods and First Officers" [TRK, VEX])

COOPER, ADMIRAL: Cooper visited the Secondprize on Stardate 51017 for an inspection tour. At least that's what he was supposed to do. During the shuttle flight to the ship, Cooper demanded that Ensign Carr fix him some coffee...with cream and lots of sugar. Carr served him a cup of Bonialia Blossom, which turned out to be toxic to humans. Cooper thought the blend was incredibly tasty, then he fell unconscious. Carr was able to get Cooper to medical attention in time. Cooper liked the coffee so much that he decided to forego the inspection. He did, however, request that Carr be the one to fly him to the Starship Truman and that she fix him more of that "damn fine coffee." ("Choice Blend" [TRK]) (NOTE: Most of the names in this story are in some way from "Twin Peaks," one of Alan Decker's favorite shows.)

COOTIES, KLINGON: Insect parasite that is deadly if left untreated. The USS Banshee was assigned to investigate an outbreak of Klingon Cooties in an elementary school in the Taliran System, where reports from the students indicated that all the girls had them. ("The Petzorcist" [BAN]).

COPELAND, CAPTAIN KATE: Captain of the Federation starship Rameses. Captain Copeland had been a friend and mentor to the then Commander Jad Vorezze. She was also extremely fond of pornography. When she died on the Rameses in 2373, then Commander Jad Vorezze was forced to take command. ("Tolkien III" [REJ]).

COPELAND, KEITH: Federation Marine Private assigned to Waystation's 79th Battalion. Copeland was the first marine attacked by the squirrels of Ridalis Four. ("Send the Marines" [WAY]) Copeland helped chase Russell during the marine takeover of Waystation. ("That Sinking Feeling" [WAY])

CRABTREE, CLYDE: Alias used by Commander David Conway while undercover in an attempt to retrieve Commander Ashley Donovan from Sytarnan Three. ("Shine On You Crazy Cult, Part Two" [VEX]).

CREBIUS CLUSTER: The Delta Quadrant equivalent of the Bermuda Expanse. Aerostar's only hope of getting back to the Alpha Quadrant (Various, "Road to Nowhere, Part Two" [VEX]).

CRIDIS: Assistant to Jum, former friend to Mirk, but not all that great a guy, as it turns out ("The Salad of Vengeance" & "Process of Elimination" [VEX]).

CROSS, DR. TAVIAN: Travis Dillon's therapist at the Tantalus V Rehabilitation Colony. He was able to restore Dillon's sanity in two short years. Cross suggested that Dillon write a book about his experiences. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

CROTEL, FIRST: Jem'Hadar assistant to Vorta administrator Hanock. Crotel is quite fond of the video game Super Mario Brothers. In late 2374, Crotel and Hanock were stationed on planet Tolkien III. The two of them piloted a Dominion prototype for a spider like transport vehicle to the wreckage of the USS Rameses, but the vehicle was destroyed by members of the Rameses crew. ("Tolkien III" [REJ]). In mid 2375, Crotel and Hanock took command of the Dominion battleship Veraka and were sent on a mission to destroy the Enterprise-E. When the Banshee intercepted them, there Veraka was flung back in time. The Veraka was later destroyed in the past, but Hanock and Crotel escaped. ("Only a Matter of Time" [BAN]). In 2376, Crotel was killed during a firefight with Banshee crewmembers after they had taken over the ship. ("Where Angels Fear to Tread Part Three" [BAN]). In "Towards Earth", the original version of "Only a Matter of Time", Crotel was originally a Cardassian. Crotel was first seen in "Tolkien III."

CROWN PRINCE NUPLATEL: Federation dignitary Hawkins shoved out of the way in her rush to get aboard the Pomposity. ("Cruising for Trouble" [TRK])

CRUSHER, WESLEY: Pupil of The Traveler. One of Wesley's attempts to manipulate time and space resulted in the disappearance of Dillon's runabout. The Traveler and Wesley didn't stay to help find Dillon though, because Wesley had a lot of material to learn before his Christmas break. ("Alone on Christmas" [TRK])

CRYSTA: A planet which at one time was located in the Delta Quadrant ("Leader of the Flock" [VEX]), which, thanks to complicated alien technology, got transported to the Alpha Quadrant ("Birds of a Feather" [VEX]), was host to a species of humanoid penguins, known rhetorically as "Homo Penguinis." No one knows the whereabouts of the planet now, and frankly, no one cares.

CUBE #347: Exploratory Class Borg cubeship. Cube #347, or some version thereof, has been around for many centuries, although it has yet to be said the exact "commissioning" date of the current vessel; however, the "end" of Cube #347 has been hinted at ("Let Sleeping Borg Lie, Part I-III" [BRG]). The crew of Cube #347 are the imperfectly assimilated of the Borg Collective, those who, for one reason or another, did not quite lose their individuality to the Hive. Perfectly functional drones in all other respects, those on Cube #347 do not quite fit the Collective mold, yet are too useful to simply flush down the nearest black hole. Cube #347 was present at the inception of the Borg, a key player along with crew of the Federation starship Banshee in the formation of the Collective ("Cube #347's Excellent Adventure, part I-III" [BRG]). It later found itself quite a few years in the future, in a time when an altered Hive had become good allies with a Second Federation. Peace and happiness was not to be, as the Borg of the way future had plotted with the Borg of the now to return the Hive of the distant future to the format of the way future Borg. Confused yet? In any case, Cube #347 had absolutely no idea it had been recruited as the Trojan Horse to carry out the mission; and afterwards, when it had been sent to the present, did not remember due to memory erasure ("Let Sleeping Borg Lie, part I-III" [BRG]). In between the two temporal extremes, Cube #347 has had many other adventures. They range from meeting with noncorporial entities ("Borg vs. Borg", "We Are Q", "Of Jabberwock, Jubjub Birds, and Bandersnatch" [BRG]) to brushes with spatial phenomenon - natural and artificial in origin - ("Two Much of a Good Thing"; "In Space, No One Can Hear You Panic"; "Sensory Overload" [BRG]; "Captain's Tale" [REJ]) to attack by a space-born mold ("A Day in the Trenches" [BRG]) to drug smugglers from the future ("Jovian Dust" [BRG]). Cube #347 has been threatened by unusual weapons such as controlled coronal discharge ("A Borg of a Different Color" [BRG]) and plant extracts ("Brotherly Love" [BRG]), nearly had its sub-collective butt kicked by the very concrete Belief of a species target for assimilation ("Fifth Dimension"; "A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste" [BRG]), and recieved the directed rage of a disgruntled postal mech ("The Check is in the Mail" [BRG]). Cube #347 has also been a guinea pig for new technologies ("A Speeding Cube Gathers No Stardust" [BRG]). Several times the sub-collective has been faced with the dilemma in which for one reason or another, foes have been unable to be assimilated ("A Borg of a Different Color"; "Let Sleeping Borg Lie, part I-III"; "Jovian Dust"; "A Fish Story"; "We Are Q"; "Cube #347's Excellent Adventure, Part I-III"; "The Crimson Short One and the Cube - A Fairy Tale" [BRG]). Perhaps the most serious threat to Cube #347's integrity was when, though the usual series of unrelated coinsidences, found itself drawn through the transportation system of an extinct race and into the greedy tech-hungry clutches of Federation's Section 31. While Section 31's plan did not work, Cube #347 ended up on the recieving end of a colonization attempt by the ultimate Borg nemisis, "They". With link to Collective temporarily severed by a prototype Federation weapon, the sub-collective of Cube #347 was forced to forge an alliance with Starfleet in order to beat back They's superior forces. After a series of large explosions, They retreated; Cube #347 was transferred back to the Delta Quadrant via the same transportation system when said system realized the cube had not paid the toll and decided the case was one for Custom's to deal with ("A Fish Story" [BRG]) It is a wonder the current Cube #347 has not yet been spindled, mutilated, or torn into debris.

CUBE #347 (ALTERNATE): Strike Class Borg Cube from alternate universe. The alternate Cube #347 saved this universe's Cube #347 from destruction. ("Captain's Tale" [REJ]).

CUBE #555: Cargo Class Borg Cubeship. Cube #522 was heavily damaged in research accident, losing the majority of its resident sub-collective. Two hundred fifty of those which remained (subunit #522) were off-loaded to Cube #347 in order to outfit the latter with prototype quantum slipstream drive and complete initial testing stage of this technology. Cube #347 subsequently was sent deep into the Beta Quadrant ("A Speeding Cube Gathers No Stardust" [BRG]).

CULINARY INSITITUTE OF THE GALAXY (C.I.G.): Cooking school that denied Michael Rennicks admission based on the low quality of his beef stroganoff. Rennicks took Rydell and Carr hostage in hopes of forcing the C.I.G. to admit him. Rydell resolved the situation and, after tasting Rennicks' stroganoff, completely concurred with the C.I.G.'s decision. ("Hostage Crisis" [TRK])

CUMBERLAND, USS: Runabout assigned to Waystation. Lt. Cmdr. Morales left Waystation in the Cumberland while the station was under the control of Compucop and used the runabout's comm system to send forged regulations update back to Waystation. ("House Arrest" [WAY]) The Cumberland assisted in the rescue of the Federation Marines from Ridalis Four. ("Send the Marines" [WAY]) Morales, Nelson, and Russell used the Cumberland to track down and rescue the kidnapped Beck and Porter. ("Field Trip" [WAY]) Morales and Jones took the Cumberland to Geranis Two for a diplomatic mission. On their way back, the runabout was damaged by the energy wave caused by Karyna joining with Q. Q returned the Cumberland to Waystation, shrinking it and sticking it in Morales' bed. ("That Sinking Feeling" [WAY]) Presumably Q restored the vessel to normal since it was used during the renovation of Waystation. Yeoman Jones took up temporary quarters there when her cargo module was accidentally vented into space during the renovations. ("While You Were Out" [WAY])

CYRESIAS BELT: The embryonic star clusters located here are way up on Starfleet's list of "Place You Should Avoid." ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

DARLA: A woman Sean Russell met on the beach in Malibu just before he was assigned to be security chief of the USS Edsel under the command of Travis Dillon. Darla accompanied Russell on the mission but left him for Kantura Dransein who she then left for Dr. Reginald Smythe. ("Star Traks 3" [TRK])

DARSON: A planet infected by a horrid plague, helped by the recently-hooked-up Counselor Peterman and Captain Baxter. In between kisses and snuggles, they managed to administer medical aid, while the Aerostar dealt with a disease of an entirely different sort, that of total insanity ("Clouded Judgment" [VEX]).

DAWES, MINDY: Girlfriend of John Simms, Jr. and Simms Cruise Lines' chief spokesperson. She sang the Simms Ship jingle in all of their commercials, causing much pain and suffering throughout the quadrant. Hawkins was more than happy to phaser her into unconsciousness when Dillon took command of the Pomposity. ("Cruising for Trouble" [TRK])

DATUM, SFS: Science support to group tasked with salvaging Cube #347 ("Let Sleeping Borg Lie, Part I-III" [BRG]).

DAVY-DOO: Inept counterpart of Commander David Conway in the over-happy Federation of Fun ("Happy to See You" [VEX]). Later was freed of the evil mind-shifting ray that had made him happy ("Worlds Apart" [VEX]), only to be assimilated by happy Borg and re-happied some time later ("Many Happy Returns" [VEX]).

DEAN, JOE: Fifteen year old inhabitant of the planet Mordor. At the age of 13, he was involved with a much older woman named Kristina Mattice. When Kristina wouldn't let Joe call off their relationship, he charged her with statutory rape and had her put in prison. What Joe did not know was that Kristina was a 4000 year old Vampire who headed up the Deimos cult. Once freed, Mattice arranged for the Deimos to make a human sacrifice of Joe. The murder went as planned, but when Joe's body was discovered by Lt. Cmdr. Vincent DiSanto, it lead to an investigation that would lead to the cult's downfall. ("Where Angels Fear to Tread, Part One: Shore Leave From Hell [BAN]).

DEFIANT, USS: A powerful starship assigned to Deep Space Nine. The Defiant was stolen by Zero and Rebecca Singer for use in their plan to capture Captain Rydell. Singer took the Defiant back in time to 20th century Earth, closely pursued by the USS Secondprize. The Secondprize proved to be no match for the Defiant, but Jaroch's arrival in the Runabout Hudson turned the tide of the battle. The Defiant was captured and returned to its home base. ("Star Traks 6" [TRK])

DELFOR COLONY: The home of Oswald and Harriet Nelson, Dr. Nelson's parents. Nelson returned to Delfor Colony for her parents' 40th wedding anniversary party. ("Gut Feelings" [WAY])

DELTA A & B, 12 OF 19: 12 of 19 was born Leeta and Kitra, twins girls on a Grikite colony world ("The Latest Fad" [BRG]). They grew up, went through school, graduated as engineers, and took jobs at Astro-Engineering ("The Latest Fad" [BRG]). When the Borg descended upon their planet, both assisted in the resistance, although Leeta was primarily following her dominant twin's wish to fight ("The Latest Fad" [BRG]). They were assimilated approximately 40 years before the prior assignment ("The Latest Fad" [BRG]). The trauma, and a case of assimilation imperfection, melded the two formerly seperate personalities into one mind in two bodies ("This is Borg?"; "A Day in the Trenches" [BRG]) 12 of 19 gained her current position of engineering hierarchy head when Captain picked her for the ssignment ("This is Borg?" [BRG]). She is often chosen by Captains to fill the Engineer position, but she hates the name, so often uses a different designation ("Captain's Tale" [REJ]). During Captain's initial assignment, 12 of 19 went by Omega ("Captain's Tale" [REJ]); currently she is "Delta" because it is her fourth time as head in the last six cube deployments ("This is Borg?" [BRG]). She has threatened dire consequences if she is picked again before the HIerarchy of Eight makes a complete rotation ("This is Borg?" [BRG]). Delta's species has a controllable glandular system, which includes a caffeine-like stimulant ("A Day in the Trenches" [BRG]). And while Delta is an excellent engineering drone, she has difficulty coordinating her hierarchy with efficiency when many of her drones are physically active; the threshold for initial problems is 60% ("A Day in the Trenches"; "A Speeding Cube Gathers No Stardust"; "A Fish Story" [BRG]). If there is one thing Delta hates (besides Weapons), it is Klingon opera ("In Space, No One Can Hear You Panic" [BRG]). As head of the engineering hierarchy, it is Delta's job to make sure the cube stays in one piece, more or less. One of the more difficult episodes was when Cube #347 was infultrated by a space mold, which ended up leaving on its own before the ship utterly fell apart ("A Day in the Trenches" [BRG]). Personal problems include the time when Body B was affected by a mech virus, the effects of which mimiced a state of drunkenness ("Borg Scratch Fever" [BRG]), and when the same body was kidnapped by a genetic collector ("The Latest Fad" [BRG]).

DEMENSIA, FLORIA: Supposed representative of the advertising firm of Frutopia, Demensia, and Blornstein. She was actually a criminal out to brainwash Dillon and take over the Secondprize. ("Starfleet Red" [TRK])

DENERIA CLUSTER: Site of Starfleet's Deneria Dry Dock Facility. Rydell and Beck went to Deneria to meet Sullivan, Baird, Carr, and Jaroch during their attempt to stop Forever from destroying the universe. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

DENERIA DRY DOCK: Massive ship building and repair facility in the Deneria Cluster. Baird and Sullivan shared quarters there. Sullivan commanded her own ship while Baird was the facility's Supervising Refit and Repair Officer. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

DETRITUS OF BORG: The alter-ego to Federation Marine Christopher Henricks, who assisted the Borg in their mauling of the Flarn and other assorted bad deeds. Found to be vulnerable when placed head-to-head with the braindead Dean Wilcox ("Process of Elimination, Part II & III" [VEX]).

DILLON, BRADLEY: Bradley is the son of Richard and Linda Dillon and is two years younger than his brother Travis Dillon. Bradley was born in the suburbs of Baltimore where he grew up with one huge advantage over his older brother: he wasn't the subject of one of their father's psychology experiments. Despite the "no money needed" society of Earth and the Federation, Bradley became consumed with the idea of business and making a profit. Rather than cheat his customers, as a Ferengi would, Bradley preferred to gain a reputation as a good businessman. He left Earth to attend college on Alpha Centauri mainly because his mother, realizing that Travis was a complete loss, had latched onto Bradley a little too tightly for his tastes. After graduation, Bradley set up a used spaceship dealership and did moderately well for himself. About this time, he gave some money and a used ship to his old high school friend Lucas Mauser so that Mauser could start up a mining operation. Bradley did this strictly out of friendship and honestly never expected to see a dime of the money back. This sort of generosity set him apart from the Ferengi businessmen, or vultures as Bradley preferred to call them, that he was inevitably compared to. Of course, Bradley had a few skills of his own, such as pickpocketing and lockpicking, that would have raised a few eyebrows if they became widely known. A misunderstand concerning a vehicle he sold a Tellarite forced him to leave Alpha Centauri. Having heard about the opportunities awaiting in the Beta Quadrant, Bradley headed to the newly-established Waystation to set up Dillon's Supply Depot, the one place for colonists to get anything they could possibly need before heading out into unexplored terrain. Bradley managed to get his shop in Waystation's Starfleet Square Mall rent free after his ship, the Atalanta, was commandeered and destroyed after Porter rammed it into a Romulan Warbird. ("Star Traks 5" [TRK]) Bradley struck up an odd friendship with Leximas, the alien guru on board the station. While she was less than pleased by his attempt to cash in on her popularity by selling dolls of her, she was enough intrigued by him to agree to spend three days in his holodeck Titanic simulation. ("This is Only a Test," "That Sinking Feeling" [WAY]) The holodeck program turned deadly when Karyna arrived with vendetta against Leximas and sent the guru and Bradley back to the real Titanic to die. Bradley and Leximas managed to dodge the Grecin assassin Karyna put on the ship, and Bradley got Leximas into one of the lifeboats while he stayed behind to make sure the Grecin could not get to her. Leximas rescued Bradley just before the ship went down, taking the Grecin with it, and the two were returned to the 24th century by Q, who had come to rein in Karyna. ("That Sinking Feeling" [WAY]) The riots that consumed Waystation and prompted the renovation almost destroyed Dillon's Supply Depot. A later brawl involving two suspected shoplifters who had taken refuge in the Waystation Village cargo module he'd set up shop in almost finished the job. While sulking over this latest setback to his financial dreams, Bradley was visited by Lucas Mauser's lawyer who informed him that Mauser, who had kept Bradley as a silent partner for years and years, had sold his mining company and Bradley's share of the sale price was over 130 billion credits. Bradley now ranked among the richest men in the galaxy, a fact Daimon Gribnob of the Ferengi immediately tried to cash in on. Bradley foiled his plans and tricked Gribnob into selling him exclusive trading rights in the sector for a measly 134 credits. Bradley's new-found wealth allowed him to establish Dillon Enterprises and start construction on the Starfleet Suites Hotel, a luxury hotel to be located above Starfleet Square Mall. ("Dividends" [WAY]) Over the first couple of months, Bradley had trouble adjusting to being rich. At times, he would be very generous, as when he lent Commander Beck ski equipment and provided her with lessons in preparation for her vacation to the ski resorts of Sargonis. ("You May Meet A Stranger" [WAY]) Then he would turn around and capriciously sure Starfleet knowing that he wouldn't see a dime. It was just entertaining. His lawsuit, filed after his contractors walked off the job in support of the Zenedron Construction Group employees who were on strike, was basically thrown out by the Judge Advocate General, but then Bradley used his wealth to bribe all of the construction workers into coming back to work. He simply enjoyed having the power to change people's behavior with money. ("While You Were Out" [WAY]) He used that power again when a potential investor in the hotel, Jaraan, visited the station. Bradley bribed Russell into staying away from her and spent several credits to make sure her date with Lt. Porter, whom she had expressed an interest in, went perfectly. In the end, Jaraan decided to invest in the hotel. ("Relationship Jitters" [WAY]) Bradley's upswing almost came to an abrupt end when he was taken hostage, along with Beck, Jones, and three Federation big-wigs, by the Starshine Kids. In an attempt to save his own neck, he volunteered Jones to experience the Starshine Kids' brainwashing orb. Morales and Lazlo rescued the hostages, but Bradley learned that Leximas had been killed in an explosion on board Waystation Village just after he was taken hostage. The event completely knocked the wind out of his sails. He'd lost his one real friend on the station. ("Lip Lock" [WAY]) As the renovated station reopened, Bradley through his efforts into his businesses. The Federation Science Council held their annual conference at the Starfleet Suites hotel about a year later, giving him a lot of publicity for the hotel. ("The Way We Were" [WAY]) However, the hotel's restaurant, Dillon's, had a bit of a cook problem. At first, he'd hired Densin Gremlak, a Cardassian who had formerly been one of Bradley's lawyers in the suit against Starfleet, but an accident staged by Ih'mad of the station's Andorian restaurant took Gremlak out of the picture. Next, Bradley brought in Janice Browning, who had resigned from the USS Explorer, to run the restaurant. She managed to hold her own with the Andorians, but left to rescue her former fiancee' from the Klingons. ("The Sacrifice of Bagels" [VEX]) In exchange for using his own credits to buy back Earth from the Ferengi, Bradley was made President of the United Federation of Planets on Stardate 54865. ("This Item Earth" [VEX]) During the Forever incident, Bradley, who still maintained his offices at Waystation, lent Trinian a spaceship in exchange for her agreeing to be a bartender at his new casinoworld for 5 years. She never returned the ship or returned period. ("Please Hold for Oblivion" [TRK])

DILLON ENTERPRISES: Company started by Bradley Dillon after he became fabulously wealthy. The company's corporate officers were located in Waystation. ("Dividends" [WAY])

DILLON, LINDA: Mother of Travis and Bradley Dillon and president of Johns Hopkins University on Earth. Mrs. Dillon visited the USS Secondprize on Stardate 49110 prompting a panic among the female members of the Secondprize crew when she let slip that Dillon was interested in someone on board. ("Reason to Panic" [TRK]) She and Dillon's father were also on the maiden voyage of the SS Pomposity with Dillon and Hawkins, much to the latter couple's regret. Mrs. Dillon shared her husband's hope that Dillon would go into psychology. Neither of them are thrilled that he chose Starfleet and regularly voice that opinion. They also openly express the view that they like Travis' brother Bradley better. ("Cruising for Trouble" [TRK])

DILLON, TRACEY: Female version of Travis Dillon from the universe immediately preceding ours. ("Star Traks 2" [TRK])

DILLON, TRAVIS MICHAEL: Travis Dillon was the first child born to Richard and Linda Dillon. Looking to jump-start his psychology career, Richard decided to turn his newborn son's life into one big experiment. Linda agreed to this plan only after her husband assured her that the papers generated by the experiment would get them invited to conferences all over the quadrant. For Travis Dillon, it meant a life of confusion. In one moment, his father would say that he had to use his potential and become a psychologist as Dillons had for generations. In the next moment, he'd belittle Dillon's ability to do anything. With this going on at home, Dillon searched the rest of his life for order. School offered some release. At school there were rules he understood and clear goals to reach that led to success. He eventually fixated on getting into Starfleet. Starfleet had regulations and discipline. Also, his Uncle Matt was an officer. During one visit to San Francisco to see Uncle Matt, Dillon accidentally broke Ambassador Sarek's window and knocked the ambassador himself out with a baseball, opening another opportunity for Richard Dillon to verbally thrash his son. Dillon looked forward to the times parents would leave for his father's psychological conferences, something that happened more and more often as he grew older. With a little behind the scenes help from his Uncle Matt, who was completely unaware of his nephew's status as a psychology experiment, Dillon was admitted to Starfleet Academy. Given the clear regiment of classes and training exercises at the Academy, Travis couldn't help but excel. It was almost programmed into him. His only problem at the Academy was his roommate, a surly Klingon named Worf. The time at the Academy away from his parents did wonders for his ego as well. Actually, his ego went too far in the other direction. As if to block out any reminders of his father's disparaging remarks, Dillon wrapped a shield of self-importance around himself that made him almost insufferable. Dillon graduated at the top of his class, and he was confident that with his abilities he'd make captain within a few months. At first, it looked like he might be right, but not for the reasons he thought. His superior officers on his first assignments realized that if they promoted him, they could get him transferred to another ship very quickly. He'd made lieutenant commander by the time the captain of the USS Baker left him on Deep Space Fourteen. The captain had docked and asked Dillon, who was serving as the ship's helm officer, to go deliver a "Top Secret" message by hand to the station commander. As soon as Dillon was out of the airlock, the ship cleared all moorings and got the hell out of there. Dillon's mother asked Uncle Matt, who was an admiral at this point, to put Dillon on another ship. Despite her general distaste for the person Dillon had become, she realized he was better off away from Richard. Admiral Matt Dillon put through the paperwork to get Dillon promoted to commander and assigned to the USS Secondprize as first officer. As long as the Secondprize's missions followed Academy scenarios, Dillon performed admirably. Strange or new situations tended to throw him, though. He was all book sense and no common sense. Also, his obsession with regulations and the chain of command didn't win him any friends among the Secondprize crew. When word got out that Dillon was interested in dating one of the Secondprize's officers, the women on the ship made an all-out effort to find her and save her before Dillon could act. ("Reason to Panic" [TRK]) Dillon did, however, manage to save the ship from the Rock Creature when he sent it and the energy-filled rock it was chasing into the matter reclamation system. Unfortunately, this also overloaded the entire system. ("Every Dillon Has His Day" [TRK]) Dillon led missions to Neilson IV, Bytellus Two, and the moon of Kynax, none of which turned out as he had hoped. ("And Now, Right Here On Our Show...," "A Serious Case of the Stupids," "Claire Webber: The Hugging Hunter" [TRK]) After Rydell was briefly incapacitated by a flood of hot chocolate, Dillon took command of the Secondprize upon their arrival at Ugilious. He almost provoked the Joegonots into attacking the ship before Rydell arrived to handle the situation. Dillon transported to Ugilious with the away team and, after their capture, was thrown to the Grand Leech's daughters. Rydell "rescued" him before things went too far. ("Star Traks 1" [TRK]) During the next mission to Kilma Omega IV, Dillon attempted to break Rydell out of prison but wound up being captured himself. He unintentionally managed to clear their names by tackling Amjex into the River Belchus. Dillon's resulting burp briefly caused the planet's inhabitants to believe that he was the Gaseous One whose coming had been foretold. After hearing him speak for a while, the Kilma Omegans dubbed him the Great Windbag. ("Belch-O-Rama" [TRK]) While trying to find the kidnapped Captain Rydell, Dillon became fascinated with Dr. Azar's time tube. He allowed himself, Jaroch and Sullivan to be test subjects for the tube's trial run, which resulted in all three officers being sent 20 billion years into the future. Dumped into the next universe, Dillon realized he was in over his head and set out to rescue that universe's Rydell to fix things. ("Star Traks 2" [TRK]) After Dillon told his mother how he had helped have the universe from being destroyed by a temporal paradox, she nagged Admiral Matt Dillon to get him promoted to captain. Admiral Jean-Luc Picard agreed, but only because both men were having bad days. Dillon was given command of the USS Edsel, and he asked Lt. Hawkins and Lt. Russell to join his crew. With Hawkins as his first officer and Russell as his security chief, Dillon set out to Gulax Four to pick up Dr. Reginald Smythe's archaeological team. With his promotion, Dillon had also received a mate magnet, a small device designed to make Starfleet captains irresistible to the opposite sex. On Gulax Four, Dillon met Dr. Elizabeth Jennings, and the two fell for each other. His bliss was interrupted by the arrival of the Klingons under Captain Donask. In order to protect Smythe's discovery, Dillon challenged Donask to a series of contests including dizzy bats and red light, green light. Donask grew angry with the contests and was about to kill Dillon when Captain Rydell arrived to set things straight. Realizing their huge mistake, Admirals Picard and Dillon decided to pretend the Edsel business had never happened. Dillon was returned to his prior rank and post on the Secondprize. Having lost the mate magnet, Dillon believed that Jennings would no longer be interested in him, so he broke up with her abruptly. After finding out the mate magnet had never worked in the first place, Dillon sank into a deep depression until Hawkins consoled him. ("Star Traks 3" [TRK]) Myna, masquerading as Ambassador Baradda, trapped Dillon in the holodeck in a simulation of Bradley Dillon's used spaceship lot. After Hawkins became trapped in the holodeck as well, the two managed to overload the program and signal Beck and Porter on the bridge. Freed, Dillon and Hawkins saved Sullivan from Myna and rescued the other senior officers from Mandicor. This also marked the beginning of a friendship between Dillon and Patricia Hawkins. ("Star Traks 4" [TRK]) Dillon led the away team down to Edgeworld which was eventually captured by the Multeks. While Jaroch and Russell escaped back to the Secondprize, Dillon and Beck went to the Multek ship's bridge in order to disable the craft's shields. The were rescued by the Secondprize shortly before the Multeks would have killed them. The Secondprize returned to Starbase 219 to report on the Multek situation, and Dillon, Jaroch, Hawkins, and Carr were ordered to go evaluated the new Starfleet Memorial Gardens built by Debbie Wagner. The car carrying Dillon, Hawkins, and Jaroch was attacked by the Gardens' giant clones of famous Starfleet officers, and Jaroch was taken away by the giant James T. Kirk. Faced with almost certain death, Dillon and Hawkins revealed that they loved each other. They were rescued and returned to the Secondprize as a couple, much to the disgust of Jaroch. ("Star Traks 5" [TRK]) Dillon was busy over the next several months trying to save Hawkins from Borg clowns, survive falling through time with Jaroch and rescue Captain Rydell from Michael Rennicks. ("Fear Has A Red Nose," "Beaming There," "Hostage Crisis" [TRK]) After the Rennicks incident, Dillon was approached by Floria Demensia to be the spokesman for Starfleet Red cologne. He agreed, but the cologne turned out to be a drug that made him vulnerable to suggestion. Hawkins and Jaroch were able to rescue him before Demensia could get too much information out of him. ("Starfleet Red" [TRK]) During a diplomatic mission to Alkaxis Prime, Dillon was blown out a window, tossed off a cliff, and swallowed by a giant fish. Hawkins decided that between this and her experience with the Borg clowns, they needed a vacation. She booked a cabin for them on the maiden voyage of the SS Pomposity. Dillon was upset at first about losing some of his precious leave time he'd been saving up but eventually agreed to go. The trip was marred by a Changeling saboteur, a run-in with Donask, and the presence of Dillon's parents on board. Richard Dillon continued his usual verbal attacks against his son, but that was preferable than being killed by Donask. Only Dillon's love of 20th century Earth film, a love he and Donask shared, saved him from a slow, painful death from several Klingon torture implements. Upon his return to the Pomposity, Dillon was hit with another verbal assault from Richard. Travis punched him, revealing that this Richard was actually the Changeling. His real father had been stuffed in a storage locker. The Pomposity was towed back to Starbase 212, where Dillon and Hawkins spent the remainder of their leave together. ("Cruising for Trouble" [TRK]) Dillon was briefly believed lost when his runabout vanished in a temporal explosion while he was on his was back from a meeting of the Starfleet Regulations Advisory Board. He'd actually crashed on an uninhabited world where he managed to survive help arrived in the form of Captain Montgomery Scott. Scott took the beaten and battered Dillon to Waystation, where the Secondprize had docked for Christmas. ("Alone on Christmas" [TRK]) Soon after this, Dillon briefly had his mind invaded by Captain Andy Baxter, whose ship, the USS Aerostar, was trapped in the Delta Quadrant. The Aerostar was able to put Baxter's mind into Dillon's head in order to send a message to Starfleet about the Aerostar's status. ("Dillon's Brain" [VEX]) Dillon met his 20th century ancestor when the Secondprize went back in time to chase Rebecca Singer. Dillon took an immediately dislike to the 20th century Travis, most likely due to the fact that Travis was well adjusted and about to get married. At the end of the mission, though, Dillon and Hawkins moved in together. At this time, Dillon also found out that Jaroch was in love with Hawkins as well. Hawkins chose Dillon instead, seemingly putting an end to the problem. ("Star Traks 6" [TRK]) Dillon was one of the five Secondprize officers that went into the Forever moon and were responsible for both starting the destruction of the universe and putting it on hold for ten years. Assuming Starfleet would take care of things, they continued on with their lives. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK]) Through the First Officer Exchange Program, Dillon spent a short time on the USS Explorer, the ship given to Baxter and his crew after their return from the Delta Quadrant. He immediately antagonized Baxter and Counselor Peterman, but all personal conflicts were put aside when Baxter was possessed by an evil energy being. Dillon, with the help of the Explorer command crew, was able to isolate Baxter from the rest of the ship and return the being to its prison. ("Of Gods and First Officers" [TRK, VEX]) Dillon's life took a sudden downturn two years later when Hawkins suddenly ran off with a Klingon. This almost crushed him, but he had the knowledge that Rydell would soon be retiring to keep his spirits up. Rydell did retire, but Starfleet decided to give command to Jaroch instead. They did not feel that Dillon was captain material. That was the last straw; Dillon slipped into complete insanity. Rather than send him to Tantalus V, Jaroch had Dillon put in a holodeck encased inside an asteroid where he was monitored by Counselor Miller. Dillon remained there for eight years living inside ego-stroking fantasy worlds. When Forever reactivated, Dillon had to be taken from his asteroid and returned to reality. Learning that Rydell, whom he blamed for all of the catastrophes of his life, was still alive was almost too much for Dillon to bear. Hawkins' arrival did not improve matters. He turned his energies toward planning revenge. Rydell appealed to Dillon's sense of duty and convinced him to at least help them save the universe, but while Rydell tried to stop Forever, Dillon turned his anger on Hawkins. Intent on either killing her or getting her back, Dillon threatened Hawkins with a disrupter. Jaroch stepped in and challenged Dillon to single combat, a challenge he readily accepted. He'd had eight years to improve his fighting skills, something he more than proved to Jaroch and to Hawkins when she jumped into the fight. Hawkins distraction gave Jaroch enough time to summon J'Ter, who pummeled Dillon mercilessly. Dillon managed to get a weapon, but was disarmed when Rydell and Karina Durham leapt out of the time stream on top of him. Having lost his chance at vengeance, Dillon sank into an almost catatonic state. He was finally sent to Tantalus V where, after two years of intensive therapy, he recovered and was released. ("Please Hold For Oblivion" [TRK])

DILLON, TRAVIS (20th Century Version): Old Dominion University student and roommate of 20th century Alex Rydell. While Travis was home visiting his fiance' Rachel Kelley, Alex's mind was replaced with that of Captain Rydell. Travis figured out what had happened and assisted Rydell in repairing A
