Milky Way Galaxy
Milky Way (TOS-01)
The Milky Way was a spiral galaxy approximately 100 thousand light years across, divided into four quadrants, designated by the Greek letters Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, and were arbitrarily divided using Earth as a reference point. As a result, Earth, and the Sol Sector, fell in the Alpha Quadrant, while the Vulcan and Andorian Sectors fell in the Beta Quadrant. The Gamma and Delta Quadrants remained largely unexplored by the early 25th century, though knowledge of those regions was greatly increased thanks to the Bajoran wormhole and the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656, respectively.[3] The galaxy was surrounded by a nearly-impenetrable energy field, dubbed the Galactic Barrier, with unpredictable neurogenic properties.[1, 3] Likewise, the core of the galaxy is surrounded by a distinct but related field, dubbed the Great Barrier.[2, 3]

Orions
Orion female (ENT-80)
Orion male (ENT-93)
Slave traders who dealt in “green animal women.”[1] The supposed “animal” nature of Orion women, however, was discovered to be a pretense by the Enterprise NX-01 in 2154; Orion women produced extremely powerful pheromones, which they were able to use to disable Human women and make men—both Human and Orion—susceptible to suggestion. Vulcan women were apparently immune, while Denobulan men were sent into an unnatural sleep cycle.[3] Orion territory was located adjacent to the Klingon Empire, and the region where Klingon and Orion territory met was known as the Borderland.[2]
Notable Orions:
- Harrad Sar[3]
- Navaar[3]

Humans

Benjamin Sisko (DS9-541)
Kathryn Janeway (ST-10)
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]

Andorians
Shran (ENT-07)
Thelin (TAS-03)
Talas (ENT-89)
Esheli (STO)
These humanoid Federation members are blue-skinned in appearance and have bilateral antennae and characteristically white hair.[1] Andorians have a higher metabolism than humans[15]. Because of Andorians’ unusual physiology, intravenous injections are not possible; instead, a doctor must use intra-muscular injections.[2]
Andorian antennae are used, at least in part, for balance. An Andorian is partially disabled and unable to function immediately following the loss of an antenna, but is typically able to compensate after a day or two. Antennae can take up to nine months to regrow, although that can be completed in half the time with electrical stimulation and cranial massage therapy. Loss of antennae is a humiliating experience for an Andorian.[15] An Andorian’s antennae can also detect subtle shifts in temperature, electrical fields, and emotion.[16] The movement of an Andorian’s antennae can also indicate emotional states. An Andorian will sometimes point their antennae at a potential mate to signify attraction, though it is unclear if this is a voluntary or involuntary response.[12]

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]

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]

Data storage, retreival and computational device. Early computers on Earth were quite large and used magnetic tape to store information.[1]

Alice in Wonderland
Children’s story, written by Lewis Carroll. The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 encountered a recreation of Alice and the White Rabbit, characters from the story, on what was dubbed an “Amusement Park” Planet in 2266.[1]
