Pon Farr

Name of the Vulcan mating cycle. Every seven years, the adult Vulcan undergoes an extreme and erratic physical and psychological imbalance, which can be fatal if the mating ritual is not carried out.[1] When Spock underwent pon farr in 2267, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 journeyed to Vulcan, where his betrothed mate chose another champion to fight for her—Captain Kirk. Only after McCoy deceived Spock by injecting Kirk with a substance that simulated death did Spock return to his normal, logical demeanor.[1] Certain agents have been known to accelerate the pon farr. For example, T’Pol found herself undergoing the pon farr prematurely after being exposed to foreign microbes on an away mission in 2153.[2]

Formed in 1776, the United States of America was originally composed of thirteen colonies that rebelled against the British Empire on Earth. The Talosians viewed several images of Human history, including several focused on the United States, while accessing the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701‘s computer.[1] By the mid-21st century, the United States had expanded to 52 states.[2]

The Undine[2] (aka Species 8472) used this type of organic starship. Bioships were able to regenerate damaged systems, and were equipped with powerful energy weapons. In 2373, the Undine used this kind of ship to invade our universe. The crew of the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 came up with a way to destroy the bioships—by infusing Starfleet photon torpedoes with Borg technology.[1]
