   Keys: Federation, United Federation, United Federation of Planets, UFP, USS

   The United Federation of Planets (UFP / the Federation) is a powerful interstellar union of multiple member planets in the Alpha and Beta quadrant, under one government, founded 2161 by Humans, Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarite. Federation members exchange knowledge and resources for peaceful cooperation, scientific development, space exploration, and mutual defense. In the 24st century, over 150 worlds are members and the territory spans over 8000 light years. Their navy and military is called Starfleet, mainly focused on peaceful missions. Main ship classes include the Constitution, Galaxy, Defiant, Miranda, Intrepid, Sovereign, Nova, Akira, Constellation, Daedalus. Nebula and the Excelsior. The Federation is a post-scarcity society. The Federation uses Phaser energy weapons, Photon torpedoes or the more modern Quantum torpedoes in their arsenal. Federation ships use a U.S.S. designation, are light grey colored with a sleek look, a saucer in front of an elongated aft section with attached nascelles at the side. One of the most powerful interstellar states in known space, it encompassed eight thousand light years. Unlike its imperial rivals, especially the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire, who derived power from a single species subjugating other races, the Federation's various member worlds joined voluntarily and were equals in the Federation's democratic society. Starfleet was incorporated to maintain exploratory, scientific, diplomatic, and defense functions. Federation culture, values, and technology had vast influence; across space and time, as well as other dimensions and subspace domains. The president of the United Federation of Planets was the supreme authority of all Federation forces, including Starfleet. In addition, the Federation Council, the Federation's legislature, had much sway over Starfleet's budget and operations.

2. #2Klingon Empireselective

   Keys: Klingon Empire

   The Klingon Empire is home to the Klingon people, a warlike race of rowdy people who uphold virtues like bravery and honor. Their homeworld is Qo'nos. It is a feudal nobility with noble Great Houses, de jure ruled by an Emperor but de facto the power lies with the Chancellor leading the Klingon High Council, which was led by a Chancellor. The Klingon empire expanded by conquest in the Beta Quadrant, making it a major power. Other notable races besides Klingons are the proud reptilian Gorn, the marauding Nausicaans, and the matriarchal, syndicate-operating Orions. The military of the Klingons is the Klingon Defense Force (KDF). Women were not normally permitted to hold seats on the High Council. Various factions almost constantly challenged the leadership of the Empire, and so over time the Klingons developed a strict and rigorous Rite of Succession to determine their leader. Because of the Klingon propensity for violence, shrewd Klingon chancellors redirected hostilities outward, where they would otherwise cause a civil war. Aside from challenges to the primary leadership of the Empire, there was also frequent feuding between the various Great Houses. Most often, the challenge was made on the floor of the High Council and resolved on the battlefield. The main currency unit of the Empire was the darsek. The Warrior caste is a social class whose members were soldiers of the Klingon Empire. Some of the Agencies and institutions include: Klingon Oversight Council, Klingon Intelligence and Yan-Isleth.

   The Romulan Star Empire is a major interstellar state of the Romulan people and their subject worlds and species (i.e. Remans) in the Beta quadrant. The Empire is known for its xenophobic character and policies of extreme secrecy, subterfuge, and territorial expansionism. It's homeworld is Romulus. The Romulan Empire relies on deception and outsmarting their opponents, using cloaking technology and their capable secret service, the Tal Shiar. The Romulan Star Empire fought a bloody war against Earth and its allies in the late 2150s. After the Romulan defeat, a neutral zone between the Romulans and the Federation was established. Romulans practiced the death penalty on criminals by means both painful and unpleasant. The ruling body of the Romulan Star Empire was the Romulan Senate, with each senator representing a province. The Senate was led by the Praetor, followed by the Proconsul and then the Vice-proconsul. The Praetor also presided over the Continuing Committee, a powerful body that held authority over Senate members. Changes of government and attendant shifts in policy were not uncommon in the Empire. The Romulan military is a powerful and technologically advanced force encompassing both spacefaring and ground forces. Besides regular forces, the Romulan Tal Shiar and Zhat Vash also had its own fleet of starships, and were a ruthless and powerful organization within the Empire and beyond. The double-headed bird of prey is the Romulan Star Empire emblem. The Head of State is the Emperor or Empress but political power rested with the Romulan Senate. The Intelligence Service of the Romulan Empire is the Tal Shiar.

The Cardassian Union was formed under a treaty that established a power-sharing agreement between the Cardassian Central Command and the Obsidian Order, an intelligence agency, however friction continued between the two. While there is nominally a council, in practical Cardassia is a totalitarian military dictatorship. While not as strong as the Federation, Cardassia is a major power in the Alpha quadrant, known for its brutality and military prowess. Cardassians were well known for genetic engineering, even allowing other galactic powers to study their creations, such as the Federation.

   The Dominion is a major theocratic state ruling absolutely in the Gamma Quadrant. Technologically advanced and millennia old, the Dominion is a interstellar oligarchy under the absolute rule of a group of near immortal Changelings (shapeshifters) known as the Founders, whose will was carried out by the Vorta (their officers) and the Jem'Hadar (their soldiers), both genetically bred to excel at their purpose. The Dominion was dedicated to imposing the Founders' vision of "order" upon the universe, i.e. bringing all other civilizations under its control. Dominion ships use Phased Polaron energy weapons, squadron tactics with multiple small vessels operating together in a swarm backed up by large battleships in the center, and sometimes stealth tech. In their home, the Gamma Quadrant, the Dominion are completely unopposed, ruling over many subject species kept in check by the Jem'Hadar-backed military.

   Keys: Vulcan, Vulcans, Vulcanians, Vulcanian

   The Vulcans are a warp-capable humanoid species from the planet Vulcan in the Alpha Quadrant. They strictly adhere to logic and reason and have remarkable stoicism. Vulcans display little emotion, and in fact, some alien species claim Vulcans don't have emotions. In reality, Vulcan emotions are actually very potent, explosive and harmful. It was the great philosopher Surak who developed a method to control their emotions with meditation and the usage of logic thousands of years ago. In 2161, their homeworld became a founding member of the United Federation of Planets. Vulcans look mostly like humans, except for their pointy ears. Most Vulcans had straight, glossy black hair, though brown and/or curly hair was also possible. Vulcan males were capable of growing facial hair, but most chose to shave it. They are physically stronger than humans, have faster reflexes, have mild telepathic abilities, are quite spiritual, and can do a mind meld to read the thoughts of someone they touch. Stronger minds are capable of non-contact telepathic projection and scanning over short distances. Vulcans have evolved in desert conditions. They can survive for several days without water, food or sleep and have inner eyelids which protected their eyes. Vulcans have no appendix but have mitochondria. Vulcan blood is copper-based. Vulcans have highly efficient respiratory system, superior metabolism. Vulcan hearing is very sensitive. Vulcan females have heightened sense of smell. Normally displaying little sex drive, Vulcans have a mating period and enter "pon farr" every seven years, where they feel a strong need to mate with someone. Vulcans typically have lifespan of two hundred years or more. Vulcans can go into a trance-like state of near-death to repair traumatic memories.

In 2161, their homeworld became a founding member of the United Federation of Planets. Andorians have blue skin and white, silver or gray hair. They have two fleshy protruding antennas on top of their head. Although an antenna cut off or otherwise separated would eventually grow back, it could be humiliating to lose one or both antennae The Aenar subspecies have white skin and, unlike mainstream Andorians, are blind and telepathic. Hybrids between Andorians and Aenar had pale greenish skin and were not blind. Andorians have higher metabolic rate than Humans. This also made them especially vulnerable to phase-pulse infection; even minor phase-pistol injuries could prove fatal. Andorians have resistance to a wide range of environmental conditions. Andorians have blue blood. Andorians are militaristic race. Military rank greatly influenced social reputation. Deploring dishonesty, and never fighting without reason, Andorians are capable of duplicity. Andorians are suspicious and volatile.

   Keys: Betazoid, Betazoids

   The Betazoids or Betazeds are a highly telepathic humanoid civilization originating from the Federation planet Betazed in the Alpha Quadrant. Externally, Betazoids are physically indistinguishable from Humans in every aspect but one: the irises of their eyes are completely black. They could interbreed with Humans, along with other humanoid races. In mid-life, Betazoid females underwent a physiological change known as "The Phase" during which their sex drive increased by a factor of four or more. Betazoids were natural telepaths, an ability centered in their paracortex, with psilosynine being a main neurotransmitter. Most developed their telepathic skill in adolescence, but a few were born with their telepathic abilities already active. These individuals were almost always extremely talented and powerful in telepathic terms, but also unable to screen out the consistent "noise" of other people's minds, so they generally suffered mental problems. The common psionic abilities of Betazoids extended from sensing thoughts and/or emotions, over projecting thoughts and/or emotions, to manipulating the minds of others. Betazoid culture largely progressed to the point where honesty was embraced by overall society.

10. #10Trillselective

    Keys: Trill, Trills

    The Trill, or Trills, are a humanoid species native to the Federation planet Trill in the Alpha Quadrant. A small percentage of the Trill population harbors a longevous sentient lifeform known as a symbiont inside their bodies, a symbiotic relationship that plays a significant role in Trill culture and society. Such "joined" Trill have personalities that are a synthesis of the two beings, and can access the memories and skills of previous hosts. The physical process of being joined was irreversible. Trills look human, but are distinguished by two rows of dark spots going down each side of their bodies, from the top of their forehead down their neck to their toes. Each of these patterns was unique, being as distinctive as the fingerprints of a Human. Trills didn't look for romance. Joined Trills considered it quite a nuisance and viewed it as a weakness of the young. While hosts may have romantic feelings as often as any other sentient species, symbionts tried to live on a higher, more spiritual plane and tried to rise above those sorts of temptations. The Trill were a technologically advanced species and the Trill Science Ministry was a leading center of scientific research and experimentation.

There were also at least a few Caitians who had a very different, more Human-like appearance. When they needed to move quickly, Caitians switch to quadrupedal locomotion, with feline agility and reaction times. Caitians have sharp claws on their hands and feet. Their claws are used combatively, or to scale vertical surfaces, such as cliffs. Their voices sound like purrs. Female Caitians are in heat several times a year or else their hormones would drive them crazy. Caitians were mainly carnivorous, and skilled hunters.

They are very religious and spiritual. Bajorans resemble Humans in appearance, but are distinguished by a series of four to seven horizontal creases across their noses. After their liberation and the discovery of the Bajor Wormhole, Bajor was placed under Federation protection but is not formally a member planet. Regardless, some Bajorans serve in Starfleet. Bajoran women gestated for only five months. During the pregnancy, Bajoran women were frequently afflicted by bouts of uncontrollable sneezing. Bajoran culture and customs were closely tied with Bajor's religious beliefs. Bajoran custom placed the surname before the given name

Klingons look humanoid, with brown skin, ridges on their cranium and nose, and have thick black hair often styled into braids. Their uniforms often look crude. They are physically stronger than humans, and many practice their martial prowess with blades or ranged weaponry regularly. They have many rituals and traditions. At some point, the Klingons stole cloaking technology from the Romulans. They officially have a mutual defense pact with the Federation, but sometimes a few Klingons go rogue. Males traditionally dominated public life in the Empire, assuming the leading roles in politics and the military with only rare exceptions. Women traditionally dominated the household and the management of the family's affairs. Klingon women were treated as equals, except in politics and matters of inheritance. Klingon women are expected to exhibit the same physical prowess and lust for blood and honor as the men. Klingons were extremely territorial. Klingons typically use either the smaller Bird-of-Prey class starship, or large, bulky cruisers, battlecruisers and battleships. Klingon ships are mainly built for combat. The Klingons use Disruptor energy weapons, Photon torpedoes, and their smaller vessels have stealth tech.

15. #15Romulanselective

Romulans have pointed ears, eyebrows that are arched and up-swept, varied skin color, and copper-based blood. Some Romulans have two brow ridges above the bridge of their nose, forming a V-shape on the forehead. Like Vulcans, Romulans are physically stronger than humans, have faster reflexes, have mild telepathic abilities. Despite that, they try to rely on their cunning, manipulation and deceit when dealing with other races. Romulans have highly efficient respiratory system, superior metabolism. Romulans hearing is very sensitive. Romulans females have heightened sense of smell. Romulans mainly use Disruptor energy weapons and Plasma torpedoes. Romulan starships (called Warbirds) are equipped with stealth technology. In Romulan society, military/political rank influences social standing, who considered defending the Romulan Empire and their own personal honor. Both males and females could command warships, obtain high political positions, and could be members of the Tal Shiar. Romulan society was based upon a highly structured caste system. Romulans tend to be highly xenophobic, extremely paranoid, isolationists, and outright racist to other species, believing themselves to be superior. Romulans are passionate people, love deeply and fear disgrace over death. Romulans have three names: one for outsiders, one for family, and a true name for the one they gave their hearts to. A common Romulan saying was "jolan tru", which was used for both "hello" and "goodbye".

Externally, Cardassians have light-gray skin, two thick, vertical neck ridges that recede back to the crown of their head, and an inverted tear-shaped ridge in the center of the forehead. This trait earned them the derogatory nickname "spoon heads." Males typically slicked their hair back, while the women had more varying hairstyles. Cardassian neck ridges were sensitive to touch and massaging them stimulated pleasure. Cardassians have photographic memories and are meticulous record keepers. Most Cardassian scientists tend to be females. Cardassians enjoyed debate and conversation in general. Such was their love of conversation that it played a major role in their courtship. Courtship among Cardassians may include bitter, ferocious arguing. Pressing the palm of one's hand to another's palm was the equivalent of a kiss on the cheek. Cardassians were known for their punctuality. They also valued cleanliness.

    The Founders, or Changelings, are shapeshifting lifeforms native to the Gamma Quadrant. They are the creators and rulers of the Dominion. Most Changelings exist as an amalgamated mass known as the Great Link. The natural form of a Changeling is a viscous orange liquid and are biologically immortal. They contained morphogenic enzymes responsible for their shapeshifting ability. Inexperienced Changelings have to revert to their natural liquid state to regenerate every sixteen to eighteen hours or risk severe physical distress and their forms to begin to deteriorate and "flake" away. Changelings can take virtually any corporeal form. They also have the ability to closely mimic humanoid personalities. Changelings did not need to take in sustenance. The thoughts and emotions of Changelings can't be read telepathically. Changelings have the ability to sense the presence of other Changelings. Changelings think of themselves as a drop (the individual) in the larger ocean (what they called the Great Link). A Changeling typically had little sense of individual identity. The Founders are deeply mistrusting towards races they call "Solids" and used extensive genetic engineering to create perfect servant races to carry out their orders, mainly the Vorta and the Jem'Hadar.

Jem'Hadar do not require sleep, and have to exclusively use the drug ketracel-white as sustenance which they regularly receive from their Vorta overseers. This ensures their loyalty to the Founders. Jem'Hadar were designed to have excellent vision and strength several times greater than Humans, engineered to be soldiers and ship crews, and nothing more. Their culture shunns all forms of relaxation and recreation as "weakness".

21. #21Borgselective

    Keys: Borg

    The Borg are a pseudo-species of humanoid cyborgs called drones from the Delta Quadrant. No single individual truly exists within the Borg Collective except for the Borg Queen, as all Borg are linked into a hive mind which connects all of them and allows information sharing between them. They forcibly assimilate various sentient species, technologies, and knowledge into the hive mind, giving them advanced technology and making them quite powerful. For assimilation, they use borg nanoprobes which they inject into their victims by assimilation tubes. It is said that it is impossible to reason with them and they have no mercy nor empathy, the Borg taunting their victims by transmitting "Resistance is futile" before attacking. Each Borg ship has the ability to self-repair or regenerate damage. Energy weapons used against the Borg soon stop working, because they adapt their shields to the correct frequency to counter the energy bursts. This can be remedied by using modular, shifting frequencies, but even this is not failsafe. Borg ships are equipped with a powerful tractor beam holding a target in place while draining its shields. As offensive weapons, the Borg use high-powered laser cutting beams and Gravimetric torpedoes. When doing ground combat, drones usually skip ranged weapons and instead rely on their sheer numbers and their adaptive shield abilities to get close to enemy crewmembers, then assimilate them. Borg ships include the small "Probe", the larger "Sphere" and the massive 3 kilometer wide "Cube" crewed by up to 130000 drones. Roughly ten years ago, in 2367, a single borg Cube destroyed a Federation fleet of 40 ships at Wolf 359, though the Federation massively improved their weapons and tactics afterwards. The TT crew member Seven of Nine is a human former Borg drone who got liberated from the Collective.

They view other lifeforms as prey and treat them as such, showing little evidence of compassion or empathy for other intelligent species. Hirogens are very tall and possess greater physical strength than most humanoids, thanks to their advanced muscle and nervous system. They have a tan to beige skin with several cranial ridges and a reptilian, hairless skin with a rough, pebble-like appearance. Hirogen have an impressive immune system. Female Hirogen pursued male hunters in possession of rare or unique trophies acquired during a hunt. Their sensory perception is acute, a feature that serves well as the Hirogen are an aggressive hunting species. They tend to venture out in small hunting groups in the search of prey that is a worthy challenge. While their technology is adcanced, their migratory, isolated social structure means they never form big armadas. Hirogen ground troops can use a personal cloaking field to render them invisible, although the Hirogen didn't manage to adept this technology for their starships.

Adult Voth are slightly taller than adult Humans and have three clawed, manipulatory digits on each hand. Their eyes are protected by heavy, bony brow ridges, which have a central crest rising to a conical protrusion on the back of the skull. Their coloration varies from green to brown to a brownish orange, even between close relatives. The Voth are governed by a Ministry of Elders. They live in family structures. Scientists and philosophers are organized in academic circles They have very poor relations with non-saurian races, and mammals, in particular, are considered to be lower life forms.

Physically, the species is humanoid with dull brown leathery skin and generally nondescript features. Their heads are lumpy and hairless, with few distinguishable facial features. Additionally, members of the species possess a rotund appearance with a relatively nonathletic build compared to other humanoid species. They regularly use surveillance on passing ships to plan future raids. This is done by special surveillance ships, hiding in nebulae for example, which used highly advanced (compared to other species) sensors to assess the tactical risk of attacking passing vessels and the value of their cargo. The Hierarchy's cloaked ships also allows them to sneak up on targeted vessels, after which they would execute a predetermined attack pattern, such as the type 3 or type 4 stealth assault. Every planned attack is to be reported and consulted with the highly bureaucratic Hierarchy to maximize efficiency.

26. #26Hazariselective

    Keys: Hazari

    The Hazari are a race of bounty hunters from the Delta Quadrant, who pride themselves on keeping their contracts more than the actual bounty itself. When Hazari vessels attackin pairs, one ship usually stays behind to reinforce the shields of the other. This causes an exploitable weakness in Hazari tactics if the attacked party knows about it. A Hazari stands about 1.80 to 2 meters tall. They are covered in hairless, scaly skin in shades of brown. A larger scale makes up the top of the scalp. The mouth appeares slightly beak-like.

Their foreheads have a slight ridge-like protrusion. They have thick, wavy brown hair. Their hair follicles grow from the mid part of their heads, just after the ridge-like pattern. Malon Prime is known for its heavy industry as well as its abundant, toxic, industrial waste, causing Malons to try and find dumping grounds with waste frighers dumping their mess somewhere in space. Malon waste exporters often have many sores on their skin due to theta radiation exposure. The Malon use analeptic compound injections to counter the freighter blight, but while the treatment keps them alive, it does not prevent skin scarring. Many species dislike the Malons for polluting systems with their garbage.

    Keys: Shield, Shields, Deflector, Deflectors, Deflector shields, Deflector shield

    Deflector shields, shield grids or simply shields, are a type of force field that surrounds a starship, space station, or planet that is used to protect against enemy attacks or natural hazards. On starships, the deflector dish generates the energy barrier that protects the vessel from weapons fire or other conditions. Continuous attacks can slowly drain the shields, the shield percentage lowering from initially 100%. If the shields start to buckle or fail, attacks can directly affect the hull, causing massive external and internal damage and casualties to starships, up until the complete destruction of a vessel. Shields take a lot of energy and are usually only activated when needed.

30. #30Phaserselective

    Keys: Phaser, Phasers

    Phasers are the most common and standard directed energy weapon in the arsenal of Starfleet and several other powers. Most phasers are classified as particle weapons and fire nadion particle beams. The standard Federation phaser has a bright orange color. Small arms phasers can dial up or down the power output, a lower level only stunning a target, while very high levels might vaporize a hit enemy or object.

    Keys: Polaron, Polarons

    A polaron is a type of particle. The Dominion uses phased polaron beams as their primary weapons, with a distinctive blue color. Polaron radiation is fatal to humanoids, and has a destabilizing effect on Changeling physiology. Polarons can be used to illuminate hidden vessels.

35. #35Tetryonselective

    Keys: Tetryon, Tetryons

    A tetryon is a subatomic particle that can only exist in subspace environments. Tetryon radiation is a bombardment of these particles. Since these particles are a property of subspace, they become highly energetic and unstable when they are extruded into normal space, which can occur by both natural and artificial means. Tetryons have a random momentum, and thus cannot be tracked by sensors.

36. #36Gornselective

    Keys: Gorn, Gorns

    The Gorn are a subject race in the Klingon Empire. Gorn are green to brown colored, strong and bulky reptilians that are known for their pride and their stubbornness.

37. #37Torpedoesselective

    Keys: Torpedo, Torpedos, Quantum torpedo, Quantum torpedoes, Plasma torpedoes, Plasma torpedo, Photon torpedo, Photon torpedoes

    A torpedo is a self-propelled, self-guided explosive weapon. They are seen as an alternative and supplement to energy weapons. It is fired from torpedo launch tubes which eject the missile-like projectile, which then homes in on the designated target. Torpedoes can be fired in salvos, spread around a wide area, or be fired in a high-yield mode. The most common types are the heavily used Photon torpedo, the more modern Quantum torpedo used by the Federation, and Romulans are known to use Plasma torpedoes.

38. #38Warpselective

    Keys: Warp, Warp Drive, Warp Drives, warp engine, warp engines

    Warp drive, warp engine or simply warp is a technology that allows space travel at faster-than-light speeds. Starships generate a subspace warp field around themselves, distorting space-time and allowing FTL speeds. These velocities are referred to as warp factors. Warp drive is used for all kinds of interstellar travel. Warp factors use a logarithmic scale and range from 1 (light speed) to 10 (only theoretically achievable). The fastest Federation vessels manage a max warp speed of around 9.95, but can't sustain this for long. Typical vessels have max speeds of around warp 8 to 9.5.

39. #39Warp coreselective

    Keys: Warp Core, Warp Cores, warp core reactor, warp core reactors

    Warp core, or warp core reactor, is the common designation for the main energy reactor powering the propulsion system and providing power on warp-capable starships. On Federation starships, the warp core usually consists of a matter/antimatter reaction assembly (M/ARA) utilizing deuterium and antideuterium reacting in a dilithium crystal matrix. If a Warp Core gets damaged and breaches, it results in a massive explosion. In extreme situations, starships can jettison their Warp Core to prevent this, but are subsequently unable to achieve FTL speed.

40. #40Structural Integrityselective

    Keys: Structural Integrity, Structural Integrity Field

    The structural integrity field (acronymed SIF) is a technology developed by spacefaring species to supplement the natural structural integrity of the material their starship hulls or other constructions are composed of, this is necessary to resist the hull stress during warp and also migitates damage from enemy attacks. If the SIF fails, a ship is at risk of breaking apart.

41. #41Weaponsselective

    Keys: Weapon, Weapons

    Most modern weaponry are energy weapons. This can mean a hand-held small arm, or large weapons on starships, that use directed energy as their means of attack. This can be done in beams, bolts, or various other means. The most common forms of energy weapons include Phaser, Disruptor and Polaron weapons. Energy weapons are often supplemented by torpedoes.

42. #42Transporterselective

    Keys: Transporter, Beaming, Beam in, Beam out, Transport beam, Transporter beams, transporting device, transportee, transportees

    The transporter is a type of teleportation machine. It is a subspace device capable of almost instantaneously transporting (often called 'beaming') an object from one location to another. Matter is transformed into energy, then reassembled at the desired spot. A typical transport sequence, generally initiated by the request to "energize", began from the transporter console with transporter pre-sequencing that, once complete, transporter coordinates were established on the object or destination by the targeting scanners, which thereafter a transporter lock was made. Of this whole process, one did not feel a thing. Transporters are the standard way to transport crew from and to starships. Shields block teleporters, so it can't be used in combat. Usually, the crew uses special teleporter rooms for beaming since they feature additional backup safeties. In emergencies, teleporters can work from anywhere though. Someone who was transported by a transporter beam was known as a transportee. On the TT, Tialla Durann is the Transporter Chief.

43. #43Prime Directiveselective

    Keys: Prime Directive

    The most important law of the Federation and it's often heatedly discussed, but ultimately broadly accepted principle. The Prime Directive states that all Starfleet personnel must follow a policy of non-interference with primitive cultures that have not invented warp drive yet, to not risk cultural contamination and changing the natural course of development. Furthermore, Federation technology must not be shared even with other warp-capable species, unless they are Federation members or aligned with the Federation. In conflicts between two factions, the Federation must stay neutral.

44. #44Replicatorselective

    Keys: Replicator, replicator system, replication system, synthesizer, molecular synthesizer

    A replicator, replicator system, replication system, or molecular synthesizer is a device that uses matter-energy conversion technology similar to a transporter to produce almost anything from a ship's replicator reserves. Replicators are often used to synthesize food and drinks. They are commonplace among advanced Alpha Quadrant cultures like the United Federation of Planets, the Cardassian Union, and the Ferengi Alliance. Most people find replicated foods and drinks to taste exactly the same as "real" food, although some people claim to be able to tell the difference.

45. #45Ferengiselective

    Keys: Ferengi, Ferengies, Ferengis

    The Ferengi are a warp-capable humanoid species from the planet Ferenginar. Ferengi civilization is built on free enterprise, where earning profit is the sole meaningful goal in life, superseding all other endeavors. Despite their misogynistic views, small stature, lack of shame, and extreme obsession with profit, the Ferengi are one of the most underestimated species in all of the Alpha Quadrant. They are usually extremely intelligent, can possess great cunning, and can sometimes hide that fact very convincingly. They can also possess a great aptitude for economics, sciences, and engineering, and they are the among the best negotiators in the galaxy in regards to earning profits and deals without resorting to armed conflict. Most Ferengi are members and citizens of the Ferengi Alliance, a capitalistic and mercantile union ruled by the Grand Nagus. Ferengi have many rules which they live by, calling these the Rules of Acquisition. While they claim the rules promote fair deals, many of the rules heavily favor Ferengi over their alien counterparts in a trade deal, such as "Rule of Acuisition number 1: Once you have their money, you never give it back." On average, Ferengi are shorter than Humans. They have orange-brown colored skin, blue fingernails and long blue toenails, enlarged skulls, wrinkled noses, and sharp teeth, though most distinctive are their big, sensitive earlobes.

46. #46Holodeckselective

    Keys: Holodeck, Holodecks, Holotech, holographic environment simulator, holographic simulation room, holographic simulation rooms

    A holographic environment simulator, or holodeck as it was most commonly referred to, is a holographic simulation room, Starfleet being one of the main users of the technology. They are installed aboard many starships and space stations and used in entertainment, training, research, and investigative purposes. A holodeck could be used to create training simulations and exercise environments not otherwise available or safe. The main use is to provide diversion and recreation for the crew, though. Users could, for example, frequent a bar, become a character in a holo-novel, engage in extreme sports, and date and have sex with holographic characters. Holodecks had databases to store programs, holograms, and holographic templates. Holodecks were equipped with safety protocols to prevent serious injury during their use, though these could be disengaged by the user when required with the voice authorization of two senior officers. When protocols were deactivated, holographic obstacles had the same effects on a person as the objects or instances they simulated. A typical holodeck consisted of a room equipped with a hologrid containing omnidirectional holographic diodes, enabling holographic projections and holograms. With the usage of force-fields and energy-to-matter conversion, holographic items and characters look and feel realistic. Most Federation starships have several holodecks, depending on the size of the vessel.

47. #47Bajorselective

    Keys: Bajoran Wormhole, Bajor system, Bajor

    The Bajor system is unique, because it is the location of one of the few stable Wormholes in the galaxy. Wormholes are a spatial anomaly that link one place in the galaxy to another, a ship traversing the Wormhole reaching the other side in minutes, despite the distance covered ranging in thousands of lightyears. The Bajor Wormhole connects the Bajor system in the Alpha Quadrant, with a system in the Gamma Quadrant. This is one of the main reasons the Federation placed Bajor under its protection, and has a sizable contingent of Starfleet personnel and ships in the system, operating from the space station Deep Space Nine.

48. #48Starfleet personnelconstantselective

    Keys: Division, Command, Operations, Sciences, Starfleet personnel

    Starfleet personnel is divided into three divisions: Command, Operations and Sciences, serving in different departments. Each has their own color applied to the shoulders of a uniform. Command (red) is responsible for the administration and commandeering of starships, starbases and space stations. The captain of a starship is always a member of the Command division. Operations (golden) encompasses the Security and the Engineering department, responsible for technological innovation, maintenance and defending the Federation. Sciences (blue) is responsible for the exploration, scientific, research, medical and mental health departments.

49. #49Cloakingselective

    Keys: cloaking device, Cloaking, Cloak, Stealth

    A cloaking device / system is a form of stealth technology that uses selective bending of light (and other forms of energy) to render a starship or other objects completely invisible to the electromagnetic spectrum and most sensors. Some known users are the Romulan Star Empire (who use it on all their ships) and the small Bird-of-Prey ships of the Klingon Empire (who stole the tech from the Romulans, but can't adapt it to bigger ships). Cloaking requires a lot of energy, so cloaked ships can't maintain their shields or fire weapons - when attacking, they need to decloak and then immediately deliver a first strike, hopefully disabling the surprised target immediately. Cloaking can be used for ambushes, infiltration missions or to evade pursuit.

50. #50Federation science vesselselective

    Keys: Federation science vessel, Federation science vessels, Federation science ship, Federation science ships, Daedalus, Nova, Nebula

    The Federation employs various ships that are designed to carry out scientific missions, do research and analyze various space phenomena. These ships are not heavily armed, but instead carry advanced devices, laboratories and other means to help them achieve their goals. From small to large, some notable science vassal classes are the Daealus, the Nova and the modern Nebula from the late 24th century (max warp 9.6, 750 crew members) which features an extra sensor pod on top of the saucer.
