A SECTION 2: Ag through Ak.

Agamemnon, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Apollo-class frigate, Starfleet registry NCC-11638. The Agamemnon was part of Task Force 3, under the command of Captain Picard during the Borg incident of 2369-70. ("Descent" [TNG #152&153]).
Age of Ascension.: Klingon rite of passage marking a new level of spiritual attainment for a warrior. The ritual involves a recitation by the ascendee, proclaiming "DaHjaj SuvwI'e'jiH. tIgwIj Sa'angnIS. Iw bIQtlhDaq jIjaH." ("Today I am a Warrior. I must show you my heart. I travel the river of blood.") The warrior then strides between two lines of other Klingons, who subject him or her to painsticks while the warrior is expected to express his or her most profound feelings while under this extreme duress. Worf underwent his Age of Ascension ritual at age 15 in 2355. In 2365, Worf celebrated the anniversary of his Age of Ascension with his Enterprise-D crewmates. Worf's brother Kurn was not told that he was a son of Mogh until his Age of Ascension in 2360. Until that point, Kurn believed that he was the son of Lorgh. ("The Icarus Factor" [TNG #40]; "Sins of the Father" [TNG #65]; "First Born" [TNG #173]).
Age of Ascension.: Ferengi rite of passage. When a Ferengi is old enough, he sells all of his childhood possessions and uses the money as capital when beginning his adult life. ("Family Business" [DS9 #69]; "Little Green Men" [DS9 #80]).
Age of Decision.: Talarian rite of passage signaling the age of majority for a male at 14 years. SEE: Jono. ("Suddenly Human" [TNG #76]).
Age of Inclusion.: Klingon term. Worf had not yet reached the Age of Inclusion when he was orphaned at Khitomer in his youth. ("Heart of Glory" [TNG #20]).
Agena.: Star system the starship Enterprise passed through in 2273. The ship was set upon by Mox vessels originating from Agena IV. ("The Expansionist Syndrome" [Marvel TOS #8]).
Agena IV.: Planet, home to the Mox and Org species. Until 2273 the two were at war because of their vastly different evolutions. The Orgs were descendants of ancient human travelers who made Agena their home. The Mox are a machine culture of unkown origin. The Orgs had ecologically devastated the planet, which the Mox were trying to terraform into a livable world again. The two factions were at war until the starship Enterprise intervened, depositing an agricultural engineer to oversee the facilitation of civilization for both species. ("The Expansionist Syndrome" [Marvel TOS #8]).
Agena, U.S.S.: Federation starship, a destroyer type vessel, Starfleet registry NCC-1816. This vessel existed in the mid to late 23rd century, built by Ishikawajima Harima Industries in Yokohama on Terra on November 1, 2275. The Agena's top speed was warp 9.9 on the old scale, and the ship was armed with four torpedo launchers and four phaser emitters. This vessel's complement is 200 crewpeople. (Technical Manual [TOS]; Begin Tactical Starship Simulator [Clockwork Software]; Ships of the Star Fleet). There is, of course, no evidence that the Agena in the game was meant to be the Agena in the Technical Manual, but the ships in the TM list are better assigned to any other class, rather than being Constitution-variants, in my opinion.
Agent 201.: Human raised by the Aegis, then returned to Earth in the 1960s with a mission to protect humanity from it's own self-destructive nature. Agents 201 and 347 were killed in a car accident before they could complete their task, so their mission fell to Supervisor 194, a.k.a. Gary Seven. ("Assignment: Earth" [TOS #55]).
Agent 347.: Human raised by the Aegis, then returned to Earth in the 1960s with a mission to protect humanity from it's own self-destructive nature. Agents 347 and 201 were killed in a car accident before they could complete their task, so their mission fell to Supervisor 194, a.k.a. Gary Seven. ("Assignment: Earth" [TOS #55]).
Aggregation of Rigellian Systems.: Planetary government of the Rigel star system, an important component of the Federation. The contact world is Rigel IV. ("Dreadnought!" [Pocket TOS #29]).
Aghlarren the Mote.: ("The Devil's Heart" [Pocket TNG HC #3]).
Agilis-class.: Type of Federation starship, classified as a perimeter action vessel. The Agilis-class was first constructed in the 2240s. By the beginning of the 24th century these vessels were all removed from service. (Ships of the Star Fleet).
Agilis, U.S.S.: Federation starship, prototype for the Agilis-class perimeter action ship, Starfleet registry NCC-855. (Ships of the Star Fleet).
Agincourt, U.S.S.: Federation starship, a destroyer-type vessel. Built in the 23rd century. (Federation Starship Recognition Manual [FASA RPG]). The manual listed this as a Larson-class destroyer with a registry of NCC-4314. I haven't listed it in the main body of the entry, because it seems unlikely Starfleet would have so many hundreds of the same type of ship.
Agincourt, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Excelsior-class heavy cruiser. The second starship to bear the name, Agincourt is missing and presumed destroyed. (FASA Officer's Manual [TNG]).
Agmar.: Phylosian. ("The Infinite Vulcan" [TAS #2]). Played by James Doohan. Entry incomplete.
Agnal.: Crewperson on the Chalnoth vessel Bludgeoner. Agnal was coccooned by a creature on Beta Scoraata II when investigating the loss of the crew of the vessel Blade. ("Mother of Madness" [DC TNG vol.2 #60]).
Agnatha.: Federation ambassador from the planet Jezero. In 2269 Agnatha was murdered aboard the starship Enterprise while en route to Détente Station 1. ("Death's Angel" [Bantam TOS]).
agonizer.: Small device worn by each crew member of the I.S.S. Enterprise in the mirror universe. It is extremely similar to a device used by the Klingon Empire in our universe. This device was used for punishment or torture and was extremely painful. ("Mirror, Mirror" [TOS #39]; "Day of the Dove" [TOS #66]). Hence the name.
agony booth.: Method of torture in the mirror universe on board the I.S.S. Enterprise. The mirror Chekov was subjected to the booth after an assassination attempt on Captain Kirk. ("Mirror, Mirror" [TOS #39]).
Agorra.: Commander of a Romulan warbird. In 2290 she activated a neural surger that killed the defector Peter Erikson rather than see him returned to the Federation while pursuing him aboard Saavik's vessel. ("Renegade" [DC TOS vol.2 #51]).
Agovanli.: Starfleet lieutenant commander, an acquaintance of James Kirk's. Agovanli took the opportunity of buying Kirk a few drinks before Kirk took command of the starship Enterprise in 2264, in order to repay him for an incident years earlier when Kirk had helped to intoxicate another officer before a command ceremony. ("Enterprise: The First Adventure" [Pocket Giant #1]).
Agrat-Mot Nebula.: Nebula within B'omar space. Janeway suggested taking Voyager through the nebula, but this was not acceptable as it was a key resource in the B'omar trade negotiations with the Nassordin. ("The Raven" [VGR #74]).
Agrowsky.: Crewman on the Enterprise-A who, in a hallucination, fancied himself as a gourmet chef. ("Mudd's Magic!" [DC TOS vol.2 #40]).
Agtekerk, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Arbiter-class perimeter action ship, Starfleet registry NCC-1082. Built by Temerand Duplicat in Calabay City on Mars. Commissioned in 2287. (Ships of the Star Fleet, vol. 2).
Aguayo, Monico C.: Starfleet captain. In 2374 a report from the starship Exeter reported that Captain Aguayo was killed in action. ("In the Pale Moonlight" [DS9 #143]). The names and status reports came from a casualty report shown in a background computer display.
Ahkeil, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Loknar-class frigate, Starfleet registry NCC-2701. (FASA RPG Sourcebook).
Ah-Kel.: Miradorn whose twin, Ro-Kel, was killed by the fugitive Croden during a robbery in 2369. Ah-Kel's symbiotic relationship with his twin was severed and he vowed to kill Croden in retaliation. ("Vortex" [DS9 #12]). Played by Randy Oglesby.
Ahab.: Fictional character in Melville's Moby Dick. Lily Sloane compared Picard to Ahab because of his overpowering vengeance towards the Borg. ("First Contact" [Movie #8]).
ahdar.: Son'a rank, approximately equivalent to a Starfleet commander. ("Insurrection" [Movie #9]).
Ahjess.: Son of Lela Dax. Ahjess would often climb into bed with his mother when he craved attention. ("To the Death" [DS9 #96]).
ahn-woon.: Vulcan weapon made of a single leather strap that can be used as a whip or a noose. Spock appeared to strangle Kirk with an ahn-woon during their 2267 fight on Vulcan in 2267. ("Amok Time" [TOS #34]).
Ahrens.: Cadet at Starfleet Academy in 2292 who took a training cruise aboard the Enterprise-A. ("A Question of Loyalty" [DC TOS vol.2 Special #2]).
Ahriman, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Saladin-class destroyer, Starfleet registry NCC-513. (Technical Manual [TOS]).
Ahwahnee, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-2048. This is one of the starships that was tapped to possibly serve in 'Operation: Retrieve' in 2293. ("The Undiscovered County" [Movie #6]). The Ahwahnee's registry and name were only seen in background graphic art created by Michael Okuda.
Ahwahnee, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Cheyenne-class exploratory cruiser, Starfleet registry NCC-73620. Second starship to bear the name. The Ahwahnee was severely damaged by the Borg with all hands lost at Wolf 359. The hull was salvaged and, because of an emergency along the Klingon-Romulan border, recrewed to serve in Picard's armada in 2368. ("The Best of Both Worlds" [TNG #74&75]; "Redemption" [TNG #100&101]). The Ahwahnee in Picard's fleet was misnumbered NCC-71620. I take this to mean it was the same ship, as a new Ahwahnee probably wouldn't have such a similar registry or predate the registry of its predecessor.
Ahzdar, U.S.S.: Federation starship proposed during the 23rd century. This vessel's construction was cancelled, and it's registry was assigned to another vessel. (Technical Manual [Franz Joseph TOS]; Ships of the Star Fleet [Mastercom]). It's possible ships of these names were still built, of different classes and registry numbers. If built, this ship would have been Achernar-class, with the registry NCC-1790, according to the manuals.
AI.: Abbreviation for artificial intelligence.
A'ila'Mos.: Species native to the planet A'Mos. ("Traitor Winds" [Pocket TOS #70]).
Ailis pâté.: Hors d'oeuvre perpared by Neelix. ("The Cloud" [VGR #6]).
air tram.: Airborne transportation system used at Starfleet Headquarters, used by Admiral Kirk to travel to a meeting with Admiral Nogura in 2272. ("The Motion Picture" [Movie #1]).
Airborne.: Starfleet officer who served at Brundage Station. Airborne was killed with the help of the Furies' fear weapon in 2370. His bones were found by an away team from the starship Enterprise-D. ("The Soldiers of Fear" [Pocket TNG #41]).
airlock.: Aboard a spaceship or space station, an airlock is a chamber that permits personnel to pass from an area in which an atmosphere is maintained, into an area where there is no atmosphere or a different atmosphere exists. ("Captive Pursuit" [DS9 #6]).
airponics bay.: Area in the starship Voyager dedicated to growing plants to supplement the crews food supply. The airponics bay was primarily created by Kes, and was supervised by her until her departure. Kes once accidentally killed all the plants here as an offshoot of her blossoming telekinetic abilities. Lon Suder believed he could adapt genetic engineering techniques he used on his orchids to enhance the airponic bay growth. Kes felt her most content watching seedlings grow here, as she stated when Tieran took over her mind. ("Elogium" [VGR #18]; "Cold Fire" [VGR #26]; "Basics" [VGR 42&46]; "Warlord" [VGR #52]).
Airy, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Doppler-class transport/tug, Starfleet registry NCC-3831. (Technical Manual [TOS]).
Aizawa, U.S.S.: Federation starship. Lieutenants Sam LaVelle and Taurik served on this vessel on the front in the Dominion war after being transferred off the Enterprise-E. The Aizawa was captured by the Jem'Hadar and it's crew placed in work camps building a verteron collider for an artificial wormhole. ("Behind Enemy Lines" [Pocket Dominion War #1]).
Aj Kasij.: Capital city of Coridan IV. The starship Sovereign visited here in 2289. (Ships of the Star Fleet, vol.1).
Ajanian.: Engineer on the starship Enterprise-D. ("Wet Behind the Ears" [DC TNG vol.2 #32]).
Ajanta, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Akula-class perimeter action ship, Starfleet registry NCC-1109. (Ships of the Star Fleet vol.2).
Ajax, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Cochise-class destroyer, Starfleet registry NCC-547. (Technical Manual [TOS]).
Ajax, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Apollo-class frigate, Starfleet registry NCC-11574. Second starship to bear the name. In 2327 this was Cortin Zweller's first assignment when he graduated from Starfleet Academy, under the command of Captain Narth. Kosinski performed adjustments on this vessels warp drive in 2364. This ship was part of Picard's armada in the 2368 blockade between Romulan supply vessels and the Klingon civil war. ("Tapestry" [TNG #141]; "Where No One Has Gone Before" [TNG #6]; "Redemption" [TNG #100&101]).
Ajilon Prime.: Federation colony. During a brief cease-fire of the Klingon-Federation war of 2373, this colony was the site of renewed Klingon aggression. Starfleet Dr. Julian Bashir and reporter Jake Sisko assisted in this world's emergency medical facilities until the skirmish ended. ("Nor the Battle to the Strong" [DS9 #102]).
Ajur.: 27th century Vorgon criminal who traveled to 2366 to locate Captain Picard and the Tox Uthat. ("Captain's Holiday" [TNG #67]).
"Ak'la bella doo.": Klingon folk song. Jadzia Dax taught this song to the Klingon restauranteur on the Promenade of DS9. He was amazed she knew a Klingon song he had never heard. ("Playing God" [DS9 #37]).
Ak'voh.: Old Klingon tradition. ("The Ship" [DS9 #100]).
Akaar.: High teer of the Ten Tribes of Capella IV. ("Friday's Child" [TOS #32]).
Akaar, Leonard James.: Starfleet senior fleet admiral, and the former High Teer of Capella IV. Akaar was named in honor of James Kirk and Leonard McCoy, who saved his pregnant mother from execution after the overthrow of his father, High Teer Akaar of the Ten Tribes. Akaar grew to rule his planet justly in the tradition of the men who saved him, and stated such in 2287, when he spoke before the Federation Council at the age of 19, to defend the supposed violation of the Prime Directive which had allowed him to livehi. ("Friday's Child" [TOS #32]; "...Let's Kill All the Lawyers!" [DC TOS vol.2 #11]).
Akadar, Temple of.: ("The Perfect Mate" [TNG #121]).
Akagi, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Rigel-class, Starfleet registry NCC-62158. Engineer Nagurski transferred from this ship to the Enterprise-D in 2367. The Akagi served in Picard's armada to blockade Romulan supply ships supplying the Duras family forces during the Klingon civil war in 2368. In 2374, the Akagi was a part of the Ninth Fleet headquartered at starbase Deep Space 9. This vessel was involved with fighting on the Dominion front and submitted casualty reports which were received by Deep Space 9. ("Redemption" [TNG #100&101]; "You Are Cordially Invited..." [DS9 #131]; "In the Pale Moonlight" [DS9 #143]; "Wet Behind the Ears" [DC TNG vol.2 #32]). The Akagi was named for the Japanese carrier that fought the American warship U.S.S. Hornet in the bitter Battle of Midway in World War II. Episode writer Ron Moore thought it fitting that in Star Trek's future, the Akagi would be serving alongside the Hornet. The "In the Pale Moonlight" names and status reports came from a casualty report shown in a background computer display.
Akbar, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Cochise-class destroyer, Starfleet registry NCC-548. (Technical Manual [TOS]).
Akhmatova, Zhanya.: Captain of the starship Starhawk in 2271. ("Recovery" [Pocket TOS]).

Akif-class.: Type of Klingon battlecruiser, classified as a D-7. The Akif-class was the main symbol of Klingon power in the 23rd century, and the same basic design was utilized for the uprated K't'inga-class D-7 battlecruiser first constructed in the 2270s. This class was eventually phased out by those ships. Many ships of this type were sold to the Romulans in the period where these two empires formed an alliance. Ships of the Akif-class include the Bortas, Gr'oth, Klolode, Varchas and, presumably, the Akif. ("Elaan of Troyius" [TOS #57]; "My Enemy, My Ally" [Pocket TOS #18]; "The Romulan Way" [Pocket TOS #35]).
Akif, I.K.S.: Klingon battleship, prototype for the Akif-class. (Conjecture).

Akira-class.: Type of Federation starship first built in the mid-24th century. The Akira-class includes the starships Thunderchild, Spector, and Rabin. 19 decks high (excluding the outboard weapons pod, which may be interchanged or removed), this class measures 464 meters in length, 87 meters in height (with module attached) and 316 meters in width; masses 3,055,000 metric tons and crews between 487 and 515 personnel in normal conditions, depending on the individual modification of the ship. This ship is capable of reaching warp 9.8 for almost 12 hours at its maximum rating, and houses three or more large shuttlebays for deploying carriers, probes or fighters. This vessel is equipped for large scale bombardment operations, with over fifteen launch tubes. ("First Contact" [Movie #8]; Technical Manual [Pocket DS9]; The Price of Freedom [LUG RPG Sourcebook]; Starships [Decipher RPG Sourcebook]). The name "Akira-class" was not featured in the "First Contact" film but rather was revealed from the designer's sources in various official references. The Akira was designed by Alex Jaeger and exists as a computer model built by ILM. There have been extensive discussions about the design of this vessel by many Star Trek fans,: While the stylish design is very attractive, the weapons statistics seem to be exaggerated, with more than fifteen bombardment torpedo launchers and through-deck shuttle operations, the ship might hardly have the space to house some of its crew and its power plants; ships of this class/type include:
Akira, U.S.S.: Federation starship, prototype for the Akira-class heavy cruiser, Starfleet registry NCC-62497. (Conjecture; Fact Files [#117]). The registry of this vessel was only shown in the Star Trek: Fact Files magazine, apparently based on a correction of the original registry in designer Alex Jaeger's sketches showing the U.S.S. Akira NCC-2497.
Akkalla.: Oceanic world. ("Deep Domain" [Pocket TOS #33]).
Akkallans.: Inhabitants of Akkalla. ("Deep Domain" [Pocket TOS #33]).
Aklar.: The third moon of Federation member world Sakerion, the site of a diplomatic conference in 2370 attended by the crew of the starship Enterprise-D. ("Companionship" [DC TNG vol.2 #56]).
Ak'lins: Species of Furies. The Ak'lin were talented in engineering, architecture and the sciences. Their long beaklike mouths made it difficult for them to communicate verbally with other humanoids. ("The Soldiers of Fear" [Pocket TNG #41]).
akoonah.: Device used to facilitate a hallucinatory meditation, in place of psycho-active herbs. This state can be used in the search for an animal guide. Chakotay owns such a device. ("The Cloud" [VGR #6]; "Mortal Coil" [VGR #80]; "Waking Moments" [VGR #82]).
Akorem Laan.: 22nd century Bajoran poet. ("Accession" [DS9 #89]).
Akritiri.: Technologically sophisticated civilization in the Delta Quadrant. The Akritiri had an oppressive government and a system of justice described by Starfleet observers as cruel and draconian. Their system of justice allowed no possibility of escape or reprieve from their prison on a satellite station. Prisoners were equipped with a cortical implant that caused them to be aggressive and irritated effectively keeping them from cooperating to escape. They were left with no guards or medical facilities. Prisoners were never released. ("The Chute" [VGR #47]).
Akritiri freighter.: ("The Chute" [VGR #47]).
Akritiri patrol ship.: ("The Chute" [VGR #47]).
Akritiri prison satellite.: ("The Chute" [VGR #47]).
Akrumba.: Relief helm officer on the starship Enterprise in 2266. ("Mission to Horatius" [TOS Novel]).
"Aktuh and Melota.": ("Unification" [TNG #107&108]).
Akula-class.: Type of Federation starship, classified as a Perimeter Action Vessel. (Ships of the Star Fleet, vol. 2).
Akula, U.S.S.: Federation starship. (Ships of the Star Fleet, vol. 2).
Akuta.: Member of the Feeders of Vaal on planet Gamma Trianguli VII. Akuta was the speaker of Vaal, and was wired with subspace antennae that tapped into his brain to facilitate that role. He would direct all communication that Vaal received from his people and disseminate Vaal's directives to the population. ("The Apple" [TOS #38]). Played by Keith Andes.

Akyazi-class.: Type of Federation starship, classified as a perimeter action vessel. (Ships of the Star Fleet, vol. 2 [Mastercom TOS]).; ships of this class/type include:
Akyazi, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Akyazi-class perimeter action ship, Starfleet registry NCC-1010. Commissioned on 11 October 2287. (Ships of the Star Fleet, vol. 2).
