Species originating on Earth. According to the Talosians in the 2250s, “The customs and history of [Humans] show[s] a unique hatred of captivity. Even when it’s pleasant and benevolent, [they] prefer death. This makes [them] too violent and dangerous a species for [the Talosians’] needs.” The Talosians had scanned the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701‘s databanks, and had gleaned quite a bit of information about Human history.[1]

Dilithium
Dilithium (TNG-147)
Crystalline substance used in warp propulsion systems to regulate the matter/antimatter reactions that provide the energy necessary for faster-than-light speed. Naturally occurring dilithium was extremely rare and was mined on only a few planets, such as Coridan,[1] Troyius[2] and Rura Penthe.[4] In 2286, a method of recrystalizing dilithium was discovered, reducing the need for mining new deposits of the mineral.[3]

Holographic Computer Interface (TNG-107)
Iconic Display Console (TNG-193)
TCARS Interface (VOY-218)
Computer Interface (TNG-178)
Method of interacting with a computer system. The computers aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 utilized tactile buttons and knobs, as well as motion-sensitive displays and consoles.[1] By the 24th century, touch-sensitive display panels had largely replaced the tactile interfaces,[2] though there were also some uses for holographic interfaces.[3]

Chronometer
Timekeeping device. In 2265, the chronometers on the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 unexpectedly ran backwards while escaping the destruction of the planet Psi 2000, an initial indication that the ship was actually traveling backward through time.[1] In 2151, Jonathan Archer was presented with the gift of a clock by Prah Mantoos.[2]

Chloraxine
At least one of the Axanar crew discovered by the Enterprise NX-01 in 2151 was killed using this chemical compound, which was lethal in sufficient doses.[1]
