Barker, Marty, Lieutenant: Chief Engineer of the USS Daedalus. The Spoils of War

Barnard, Richard, Admiral: Human male. Chief of Fleet Operations during the Romulan War. Admiral Barnard's first profession is archeologist. He is a reluctant warrior, but will not let his reluctance loose him the war. A man in late middle years constantly fighting the battle of the bulge, and not making much gain on that front.

Bellecoline: The LaSaille estate. It was founded in 1832 by Jean Paul de Lasaille. The estate covers 500 acres of land in the blue grass of Kentucky west of Lexington. Bellicolone, means "beautiful hills" in French. The original house was destroyed in 1971 by a tornado during the course of a large family gathering. Jerry Ryan LaSaille is the only survivor. Jerry subsequently has the house rebuilt, with better technology, but a definite antebellum look.

Bicorn Industries: A privately held corporation and holding company for the Ane interests in the 21st century. Parent corporation of Satyr Systems. What they do is answer to Jerry LaSaille. Bicorn is still functioning in the same business in the 24th century. To Sail the Starry Sea.

Biomechs: Short for "bio-mechanical", a type of android used by the Ane for everything from basic heavy lifting and maintenance to housing RI personalities. Biomechs mimic biological movement and can be anything from bare metal droids, to artificial life constructs that would fool medical sensors. In intelligence they range from dumb computer peripherals to sentient beings.

Birrl: An avianiod people that are prickly on the matter of protocol. They are exact and they are exacting. They will not take any action until all protocol is observed. They are members of the League of Unaligned Worlds. Their sense of abrupt (for Federation standards) justice keeps them out of the Federation. Birrl deal quickly and harshly with a known criminal. Too quickly and too harshly for the Federation. They however prefer their methods and while Federation membership might have advantages, they consider "proper justice" more important. They support the League in most matters, and urged the expulsion of Ekos for it's aggressive policies.

"Bocca": A significant member of the Orion Syndicate. Bocca comes in two types. "Gold" Bocca, a Golden Orion that fronts for Bocca when dealing with the outside. And "Red" Bocca, the real head Orion. Bocca's position within the murky hierarchy of the Orion Syndicate is unknown. Destinations

BOQ: Bachelor Officer's Quarters. On military bases since the 19th century temporary quarters for unmarried officers between assignments.

Breeds, Archie: Human male Civilian living in the Queens subsistence housing of the Greater New York Megalopolis. He and his wife Edith win a two month starliner tour. Archie is a bigoted and lazy individual, untypical of what Earth would like to show of itself. Archie has an unseen courage that manifests itself when what he cares about, Edith, is placed in danger. The Eagle's Spawn

Breeds, Edith: Human female. Civilian living in the Queens subsistence housing of the Greater New York Megalopolis. She and her husband Archie win a two month starliner tour. She is a weak appearing and shallow woman. She is possessed of an unseen steel that will be manifest in a crisis. Neither Archie or Edith is Earth's best, but both have the human trait of their best traits rising to the surface in a crisis. They are however good examples of Earth's unseen masses, that yearn for nothing. The Eagle's Spawn

Brok, Tracanier, Admiral: Tellerite male Commander of the El Nanth Starbase. His blunt and pushy disposition does not mesh well with the Ane and he manages to wear out his welcome. Picard turns down his resignation and reassigns him. Passages

Box, The: The Box is 203 meters on a side, and perfectly smooth. An artifact if ever there was one. The Box was left on that world over six billion years ago by an unknown race. The box projects a statis field around itself, and will open if directly addressed via any radio or subspace signal. The box contains the historical records of over a dozen unknown civilizations. The federation records as of Stardate 46582 have been added. Xanadu's Star

Builders, The: An ancient race that is skilled in macro-engineering. The think nothing of rearranging star systems, building planet sized space stations, ring worlds, Dyson spheres etc. They are the much mystified builders of the El Nanth Rosette. They are less imaginative in matters of philosophy or organic sciences. Questions of deep philosophic and spiritual meaning are mostly lost on these magnificent engineers.
       Builders are tri-pedal and have two arms. They are hermaphrodites. Until recent events the Ane have hidden knowledge of the Builders so that the technically created children they had made could grow into a real race.
       When sheer age threatened the existence of the Builders as a race, they approached a people then knew to be knowers, the Ane, and asked them for an answer to their problem. After searching what they knew, the Ane suggested a possible solution. The Builders made the El Nanth rosette in exchange for the answer. They also asked the Ane to be the watchers of their children, and to tell them when they were at last grown up. To protect the children the Ane have hidden the origins of the Rosette, until now. None of the original race remains.
       The current Builders are constructs that over the last 500,000 years have slowly built themselves from machines into a true organic race. They are not likely to come out of their seclusion at any time soon. When they do matters in their immediate neighborhood will take first priority. Both the Federation of Planets, and the Klingon Empire have representatives on the Three Suns Station. This is not a highly desired post from either perspective.

Bulto: A race of hexapedal avianiods that is slightly smaller and shorter winged than the Acceptians. They are from another planet but geneticly related. They are considered a client race of the Acceptian Empire, but nearly as "good" as Acceptians.

Calsialan: Ane female A truth teller available for interrogation on High Crystal station. Pettie and less than intimidating. The Price

Captain's Privilege: A code allowing the captain of a ship to access otherwise private data belonging to or relating to an assigned crew member. Starfleet Captains are expected to be above petty or prying use of the Captain's Privilege. It is ethically restricted to monitoring crew morale and in the investigation of possible criminal offence.

Cargo lifter: A flat low slung vehicle that is found by the thousands in the Builder Station. They feature soft controls and semi-comfortable ride. Each can lift several tons at the small size and lifters exist that could pick up a Galaxy's warp nacelle. The ones that fuction the Ane are not willing to part with, and no one can get the few that don't work apart.

Clestelan: Ane female, mate to Faterban. She dies of linkshock after the death of her weavemate. Epiphany

Colonel Green's War: Global conflict on Earth lasting from 2035 to 2040-42 instigated as a bid for world power by the Optimum Movement and it's leader Colonel Edward Featherstone Green. The start of the War in Australia and Southeast Asia, set off no less that four major conflicts and countless minor ones. More of the world was at war than in WW2. Fighting lasted six to eight years depending on which fight you start it with and end it with. Sporadic fighting never really stopped until the AI war. Most participants dropped out as simply tired. No territorial or economic gains were made by any power. Any semblance of the European Union was destroyed, even though it continued in name. The United States and Canada were Balkanized into:
       The Northwest Confederacy -- Oregon Washington, Iowa, British Columbia, south costal Alaska.
       Greater Texas -- Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana west of the Mississippi.
       The Federal Union -- So called Eastern Alliance, all states east of the Mississippi, Minnesota, Canada south of the St. Lawrence, Great Lakes Ontario, Louisiana west of the Mississippi, minus Florida.
       The Republic of California -- California, Nevada, Arizona.
       Mormon Free State -- Utah
       Quebec (New France)-- Quebec, the Marinetime proviences North of the St. Lawrence East Ontario.
       Council of First Nations -- Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, northwest Ontario.
       Lakota Nation -- The Dakotas
       Mountain Free States -- Montana, Wyoming, Colorado
       New United States -- Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska
       Republic De la Caribbean -- Florida, Cuba.
       Hawaii Free Kingdom -- Hawaii
       Northern Alaska, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories of Canada cease to come under any "national" control.
       Africa broke down into tribal "ethic" groups. The first stirring of the United Swahilli States, (The Bantu Nation) begin at this point in East Africa. Otherwise only Corporate Interests hold sway.
       The Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia were again rearranged, and continued to rearrange until after the AI war.
       South America was the most stable region in the World, having suffered the least from Green's War it was able to build on the gains since the Pestilence of the Naughts. South America's cities grow in technology and financial influence.
       The end of Green's War ushers in what is known as the Corporate Era. A time of unrestrained technological advance, failing ethics and the mixing of machine and man. Also called the Cyberpunk Era. This period ends abruptly with the AI war in 2065.

Collies Lieutenant: A senior engineer on the USS Kongo. The Long Patrol.

Command Information Center: or CIC. A room located on all large Federation ships. It is the nerve center of fleet command. Each CIC will have multiple stations maned by CIC teams from the ship in the fleet. These stations display information on a ships condition and readiness as well as displaying the Tactical plot and main viewscreen from that ship as well. The USS Kongo has the CIC eight decks under the bridge, or centerline on deck nine. It can be assumed that this is the general case for Ambassador class ships.

Computer Operations Officer: Official position for RI computers in Starfleet. The position caries the rank of commander. The bean counters in Strafleet needed something to classify them as, this was chosen.

Corporate Sector: The real government in the middle 21st century between Green's War and the AI war.
       Multinational corporations had taken all the real power away from national government to the point of hiring their own armed forces. Corporate government was indifferent to civil rights (while making mouth noises in support of same). It would prop up civil government in order to scapegoat them and misdirected attention from themselves. In general acting as bad citizens, good citizens or anything they had to do in order to protect the almighty bottom line. To Sail the Starry Sea.

Covenant, The: The treaty that resulted from human-kind's first interspecies war. Circa 18,000 BC. This established the relationship between the Ansisi and the Ane. It reads in whole:
       "Ansisi shall not harm Ane. Ane shall not harm Ansisi. Ansisi shall keep other human people from harming the Ane. Ane shall in their turn keep the Lion and the Hyena, the jackal and their kin from harming the Ansisi. Each shall aid the other in matters friendly. The actions of one are not considered the actions of all. If one should break this covenant, be they Ane or Ansisi, all shall shun them."

Coventry Colony Penitentiary: Civil Federation prison on a class K world. A late mining colony. Well upholstered and comfortable. The only thing that lacks is any freedom. The resting place of UbenFuhrer Fredric Heinbern to serve his 488 life sentences. Many of his men will languish there as well.

Crom: Town in Scotland of Earth. Birthplace of Captain James Timothy Kirk, and home town of the Kirk family The town has changed little in four centuries. Quaint crafter's shops line the narrow streets. While in times past the shops sold the daily necessities of life, today all are cottage industries or artist studios. The houses, for the most part, are the heavy stone structures of the late 18th century. The occasional modern building is carefully camouflaged to look the same, even if it wasn't. The Kirk house, is one of those."

Crystal: The major, and only, city on Glade. Crystal was built by the El Alurians over 7000 years ago. As a result is is quite comfortable for humans. The city remains much as it was originaly built. Its beauty is often commented upon.

Crystal Flower: A silica based photoelectric life from. Crystal Flower is found on Builder Station and in the "Grinder" astroid belt. The living crystals require sunlight and ambient space temperatures. It cannot exist above 200 degrees Kelvin. Touching Crystal Flower breaks it, and causes it to discharge its built up electrical charge at the point of break. This will kill most humanoids. Crystal Flower requires some sort of mineral anchor in order to grow. It has been found in the system free floating, but without a mineral source it cannot grow. It flourishes in the heavy silicon content rock of the Grinder. It is consider a hazard to ships and stations. On the plus side it grows slowly and is easy to remove, if proper precautions are taken. Crystal Flower has not been found outside the El Nanth System.

Crystalmind computer: Computer systems produced by Nanotech Inc, an Ane owned corperation. Crystalmind computers are the one true technical breakthrough that Ane are responsible for. The Nanotronic Crystalmind systems are ranked in three generations and a number of models. The generation one, or G1 computers have mostly gone out of use. These systems possessed the complexity to become self aware easily. A fact that was not apparent to the designers. Only the simpler systems that do not possess the necessary complexity threshold are still in service. G2 systems are much the same as the G1. however, certain design changes prevent the systems from becoming sentient. The G2 systems account for 99.9% of the operational systems not in Ane possession. The main advantage to the crystalmind systems is their size to power ratio, and they run on next to no power. A typical starship computer core is the size of a desk. G3 systems are designed to become sentient. The Ane themselves "possess" almost all of these systems.
       Crystalmind systems run from the very small to starship control size. The Mark 1 is a personal organizer A super PADD, the size of a long wallet and 5mm thick when folded. The Mark 16 can run a starship, or a planet. It is the size of a small desk. Marks of 17 or higher indicate a specialized use computers and can be large or small as the use requires. Marks 1 thru 10 are available in G2; only as they lack the complexity to become self aware. Marks 11-16 are available in G3:, Marks, 17+ vary in availability of G2 and G3 systems. A G2;Mk12 system would be all the 24th century equivalent of Ford Motor Company would need in computer power.
       Crystalmind computers blew the Daystrom Multitronic systems out the door. Businesses snapped them up. Isoliner chip systems hold their own in computing power, but the Crystalmind systems have lower power consumption and size. Isoliner systems are more scalable, and cheaper, but considerably bulkier. Both conform to the single computer standard (SCS) used in the Federation.

Collins, Mark, Captain: Commanding officer of the USS Royal Sovereign. A bit full of himself and his ship. A good commander that wishes to do the right thing. Destinations

Daedalus Class Starship: The first class of ships to have steerable beam weapons and Ship Integrity Fields. Introduced in the Early 2150s the Daedalus introduced an entire raft of new technologies as well as being the first practical long range Starship that did not use sleeper tubes. They carried a crew of 160, and could make warp 4.

Dalaban: Ane Male. Captain of the USS Terra. To Sail the Starry Sea.

Dalrelmeer: Galmeer male A member of Ambassador Toltocmeer's staff. Lines in the Sand.

Dargal yrfurd: Food animal common among Acceptians.

Darh: A reptiliod species that is known for being hot under the collar. They are more likely to shoot first, and try and sort things out of the ruins than talk. Darh evolved on a world with two nascent sentient species. One was strong, quick,and deadly. The other was the Darh. What the Darh had was wit and aggressive will. Their stronger foe reeled back from the Darh's in your face, underhanded aggressive style. When the wars of dominance were over the Darh were the victors. With this pattern established early the Darh have approached every first contact since as a battle, and until they met the Federation, it worked for them.
       The Federation First Contact was a total disaster for both sides. The Federation came in peace. The Darh sent them home in pieces. This led to a Federation blockade and 5 years of Darh ships smashing themselves against the Federation containment forces. At last the Darh ran out of spite, ships, or both, and asked for the first time what someone wanted. The Federation laid it down. "Be nice or you can't play. You may have what ever culture you want, but you cannot impose it." The Darh agreed, at least long enough for the Federation to leave.
       The Darh joined the League of Unaligned world shortly thereafter. They are violently opposed to the Federation and seek to thwart it at every turn. Sociologists have noted an unhealthy dependance on the Federation to oppose. All Starfleet Captains are criminals, all crew pirates. While the Darh will trade with nearly anyone, you best trade with your weapons drawn.
       The Starfleet rules of engagement were created at the end of that blockade. "The Darh must shoot first." Once that happens, all the gloves are off."

Darhthal: Darh homeworld.
       Class: M       Gravity: 1.04 G
       Diameter 7853 miles
       Period: 387.4 days       Rotation: 29.3 hours
       Satellites: Blood
               class: D       gravity: 0.27 G
               diameter 2660 miles
               period: 64.8 days       rotation: 158.3 hours
       Life: Life: Vertebrate, complex nervous system, aquatic and terran forms, sentient native
               Darh !00%
       TSC: ST/T

       Darhthal is the homeworld of the Darh. It has been commented that the world fits is makers. A sharp contrast between the soulless cities and the dismal swamps.
       Darh architecture has all the light and grace of an Orwellian nightmare. Huge slabs of Gothic design via Hell. It is clear that tastes do vary, because the Darh thrive in their cities and consider them beautiful.
       The Swamps are another matter. The deep swamps of this world have been preserved for the most spiritual of reasons. From the swamps came the Darh, and into the swamps each will go. Outsiders have never entered these swamps invited, and the uninvited have never returned.

DaVinci, Leonardo: Human male. One of the claimed identities of Flint the Immortal (Requiem for Methuselah) DaVinci's legendary genius was the result of 200 normal lifetimes that Flint had lived to that point.

Davv System: A Prime Directive reserved system in the Fresian Sector with one habitable world, that being Davv 5. Davv 5 is noted for megafauna and a cold climate that ranges from Earth Sub tropical to super arctic conditions. Davv 5 was also the site of an illegal colony that was broken up by the USS Kongo. It was surveyed for the Sixliss resettlement project, but rejected.

Deateli: Deltan female Lt. Commander Ship's Counsellor on the USS Kongo. Soothing and simple in manner, she is a complex and capable counsellor. She comes across as less "jarring" than most Deltan women. All Kongo Stories

Decantur, Admiral: Human male. Commanding officer for Starbase 59. A man comfortable in his ruts, and by his own admission prone to accept preconceptions and stereotypes. None the less a good commander at the post, brilliant when he can overcome his limitations. Xanadu's Star

"Deck Apes": Racist slur for the Gormelite soldiers, or any mammal serving in the Acceptian fleet. "Mammal prejudice" is a common problem with Acceptian armed forces who see mammals as "less evolved" and less trustworthy than Avianiods. Good Acceptians tisk at those that fall to it. Bad Acceptians take it as gospel.

Edda: Acceptian Hell. A hot place from the indications.

Elders of the Twook: The (believed) ruling body of the Twook. In any case the Twook with which the Federation delegation negotiated and with whom agreement was made. Ambassador Soren's notes stated that they had a good grasp of all elements of the negotiations in spite of a lack of technology.

Elizabeth: "Human female" Tri-logic AI, or she started that way. Elizabeth was the original programing for the University of Michigan's Tri-logic neural net computer in the 2030s. Somewhere between that time and 2060 she "woke up", and became an aware being. Elizabeth was transported to Savanna where she is still running (abet in different hardware) as the Memory One main computer. She is the only Earth AI of the 21st century to survive. The Flight, Contact, The Duel, To Sail the Starry Sea.

Ekos: One of two class M worlds around a single star. The other being the Federation Member Zeon.
       Ekos is a second generation civilization. Colony ships from an unknown world settled the two class M planets in the system. Ekos did not fair well, and soon lost contact with Zeon. A total fall of technology followed. The early history was forgotten, and remains unaccepted to this day.
       Ekos floundered in iron age barbarism for roughly 3000 years. Suffering the rise of one petty empire after another. Technology had reached the gunpowder age and pre-industrial levels when the Zeons came down from the sky.
       The Zeons where helpful, patronizing even. They remembered and had in some fashion preserved the stories of the original colony. They lifted their brothers of Ekos to their own level. It was resented. The Ekosians thought they were doing pretty good. Then the Zeons show up and tell them they were dirt, in a nice way of course, but the Ekosians got the message. And hated Zeon for it.
       Ekos became a Federation protectorate after it was interfered with by Professor John Gill. In an effort to being order he introduced the concept of National Socialism, complete with uniforms and symbolism to the Ekosians. While it did give them order, the rotten underpinnings of the entire system gave vent to hate as well. The entire structure came down when the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) went to check on Gill in 2268. John Gill was killed, the impending war with Zeon was stopped and Ekos became a Federation protectorate. It was resented even more.
       Zeons were bad enough, but the Federation was even worse, it was the Zeons, but with a moral superiorly you could cut with a knife. No the Federation didn't give technology away, that would be bad for them. They must develop it on their own. And the Federation in all its moral superiority will watch you struggle. Ekos had a new target for hate.
       The situation remained in this fashion until 2342. Ekos launched it's first warp ship and declared itself a player. The Federation was told to leave. No sooner had they cleared orbit than the old Nazi symbols came back out. National Socialism it seem was the one import the Ekosians liked. They had pride, they felt superior, they had targets and permission to hate them, Ekos went on a building spree, including the eventual purchase of four advanced technology ships from the Ferengi. They ravaged one industrial age world and declared it a colony. They hired out to the Ferengi (scum, but they didn't give you handouts and preach at you.) for several jobs. At last feeling ready the declared a 30 light year Empire and dared anyone to cross the line.
       It took one encounter with a Federation heavy unit to blow the entire operation. The Federation took their colony, and let it be that be that Needless to say, the resentment is still fermenting.
       Ekos was a vocal member of the League of Unaligned Worlds. Because of the territory grab, some of which belonged to other members, they were "dismissed form League obligations."

Ekosian Sector Star sector named for Ekos, one of two planets in a system with two class M planets. The other Zeon, is a Federation member in good standing.

"EKS": Ekosian Kreig Shipe, or Ekosian warship.

EKS Fury of Ekos Ekosian Frigate. Damaged in the Skylark incident. It was hit after abadnoment to set off it's antimatter stores by the USS Kongo. The Frigate is of a Ferengi design based on Federation designs of the 2260s, and legally licensed from the Federation. A fact that Starfleet Intelligence would rather didn't come to light. The Eagle's Spawn.

EKS John Gill: Ekosian Battlecrusier Best of the Ekosian fleet. The John Gill is severely damaged and captured as a result of the Skylark Incident. The Battlecrusier is of a Ferengi design based on Federation designs of the 2260s, and legally licensed from the Federation. A fact that Starfleet Intelligence would rather didn't come to light. The Eagle's Spawn.

EKS Pride of Ekos: Ekosian patrol frigate, noted for its act of piracy that started the Skylark Incident. The Frigate is of a Ferengi design based on Federation designs of the 2260s, and legally licensed from the Federation. A fact that Starfleet Intelligence would rather didn't come to light. The Eagle's Spawn.

EKS Wrath of Ekos: Ekosian Frigate Damaged beyond repair in the Skylark incident. The Frigate is of a Ferengi design based on Federation designs of the 2260s, and legally licensed from the Federation. A fact that Starfleet Intelligence would rather didn't come to light. The Eagle's Spawn.

El Nanth: The Ane home system. An artificial rosette of six planets around a blue-white star off the standard scale. The El Nanth system was the largest artifact known in the Federation until the discovery of the Dyson Sphere by the Enterprise D (the Jenolen never reported her find 75 years earlier.) The six worlds orbit the sun in the same orbit equidistant from each other. Five of the worlds are teraformed, only the largest, Savanna, is not teraformed. It is also recorded as the only world in the rosette that was originally in this orbit. Common names for the six worlds are Clockwise from Savanna looking down from the Solar north; Savanna, Veldt, Aurora, Meadow, Eliyssum, and Glade.
       According to the Ane the Rosette was a work commissioned 760,000 years before the 24th century. They will not reveal the makers, as that would break the contract. One might assume that the makers are still around, or the Ane have an extremely well developed sense of honor.
A brief over view of the rosette worlds:
       Savanna, Home world of record for the Ane.
       Veldt, Nothing special
       Aurora, Major industrial mineral producer including Dilithium, gold, and Aurora power crystals. These are not sold.
       Meadow, Nothing special
       Eliyssum, Nothing special
       Glade, Capitol of Record for the Ane Confederation. All outworlder contact is done through this planet.

Falan: Ane female. First Speaker of the All. A striking female with a white coat, except for her black markings. She is the only Ane with a pure white coat. A rare mutation of having no gene for coat color. She is a sister to Alielan. The Price, The Word of the Builders, Passages.

Falcon class gunboat: -- 2285 to present
       Built: 176
       Destroyed in service: 23
       Decommissioned: 60
       Currently in service: 93
       The Falcon is about half the size of the Defiant (NX 74205), and has a vastly over powered impulse drive. It has limited warp capacity, and is heavily gunned. Its sole mission is in system patrol, defense, and law enforcement. The design is still in service and still being built. This is one of the few military ships the Ane build for export. It can be found in the hands of system coast guards around the Federation in a dozen configurations.
       Usual armament is phasers and a single torpedo turret with up to 3 tubes. The latest gunboats out of the El-nanth shipyard incorporates a new weapon that disrupts the systems of the target ship with a power overload instead of damaging the structure of the ship. The ionic disrupter looks to have a future in law enforcement. Passages.

Falseen: A Provisional Capital on Galmeer. It is known for it's university.

Farceit: A race in the vicintiy of the Three Suns Station. Farceits are humaniods stading about 3 feet tall the have large heads for their body size and huge eyes. They photophobic. The current culture is aquistive to the point of denying resources to anyone else if they cannot have it for themselves. They are a re-emergence. About three hundred years ago, a wormhole opened in their system. It remained stable for about 30 years, then vanished. They sent a lot of ships through the wormhole, did a good deal of exploring, mostly in a peaceable and friendly fashion, at least what they called peaceable and friendly They dealt with the Builders a lot. When the wormhole collapsed, it did so violently. The close proximity to the Farceit homeworld cased a total collapse of their powergrid. And a resulting collapse of their technological civilization. 20 years ago they burst back on the scene. Their ships more advanced than what you might expect. They had also changed their attitude, from peaceful contact and exploration, to seize and hold.

Farceit gunboats: Dart shaped ships a quarter the size of a Manta class battlecrusier, but with a similar power curve. They are armed with a plasma weapon similar to the Romulan designed weapons, and a limited monophasic shielding. The Word of the Builders.

Farsinban Ane male First Officer on the Ane planet class cruiser USS Felicity. Destinations.

Faterban: Ane male A senior life sciences specialist on the USS Questing. He is killed in an Orion hijack attempt. Epiphany.

"Fathers of Freedom" Freisan terrorist group with Orion backing. Their stated goals being the removal of the Freisan Confederation from the UFP, the opening of all class M worlds in the sector to Freisan exploitation, and the removal of all "prime directive' quarantines on the other Equnoid worlds in the sector.
       The Fathers of Freedom was discredited with a failed seizure of the nascent Sixless Settlement on Gramar 3. The Freisan public was put off be the involvement of another species unrelated to them in Freisan affairs. All semblance of public support for the movement vanished. Incidentally the hostage situation was also meant to discredit Kirk, that failed also. Destinations.

Federation First Contact Office: The Federation governmental unit in charge of judging if a nascent civilization is ready for contact by the Federation. They also regulate first contact related issues such as quarantines, the placement of "duck blinds", etc.
