Androids

Artificial lifeforms. According to Webster’s 24th Century Fifth Edition, an android is defined as “an automaton made to resemble a human being.”^[4] The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 first encountered androids that were near-perfect replicas of Humans in 2266.^[1] Another group of androids, originating from the Andromeda galaxy, was discovered a year later.^[2] Perhaps one of the most famous androids was Data, created in 2338 by Dr. Noonian Soong.^[3]
