Dilithium

Dilithium (TNG-147)
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]

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]

Clock (ENT-11)

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]

Autodestruct

Autodestruct (CODE)

System designed to scuttle a ship upon the authorization of senior officers. In 2285, Admiral Kirk used the autodestruct system to prevent the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 from falling into Klingon hands, taking most of the crew of a Bird of Prey with it in the process.[1] Captain Jean-Luc Picard used the autodestruct system on the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D on several occasions, disabling it prior to detonation each time; notably, when the ship was captured by Bynars in 2364.[2]

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]

Three-dimensional version of the ancient Human game of chess. Captain Kirk and Commander Spock often played together aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701.[1] The game was also popular aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D more than a century later.[2]
