C SECTION 2: Ch through Co.

cha’DIch.: Klingon term for “second,” or a person who stands with a warrior during a ceremonial challenge or trial. The duty of the cha’DIch is to defend the one challenged, since the one challenged is denied the right of combat while accused. Worf chose his brother, Kurn, as cha’DIch when their late father, Mogh, was accused of treason. When Kurn was the target of attempted murder, Worf asked Captain Picard to serve as cha’DIch. (“Sins of the Father” [TNG]). The ritual knife given to Picard as cha’DIch can be seen on the desk in his quarters during “Suddenly Human” [TNG]. Jono used the knife to stab Captain Picard.
Chadric VII.: ("Shadows on the Sun" [Pocket TOS HC #6]).
Chadricans.: ("Shadows on the Sun" [Pocket TOS HC #6]).
Chafee, U.S.S.: Federation starship, a scout vessel commanded by Jason Carmody. ("Renegade" [Pocket TOS #55]). The Chafee is possibly named for the late senator and former governor of Rhode Island, John H. Chafee, and his son Senator Lincoln Chafee. A U.S. Navy destroyer of the Arleigh Burke-class is named Chafee DDG-90, and is scheduled to be put into commission in early 2004.
Chaffee.: Shuttlecraft aboard the starship Defiant. The Chaffee was a new shuttle of the Type-10 type assigned to the Defiant in 2375, named for astrounaut Lt. Cmdr. Roger B. Chaffee, who perished in an Apollo module in 1967. ("The Sound of Her Voice" [DS9 #149]). Presumably the Chaffee was destroyed along with the Defiant, although it is possible the shuttle was used as an escape craft and is the same one that was destroyed in "Twilight" [Pocket DS9 Mission Gamma #1]
Chaffee.: Shuttlecraft aboard the newest starship Defiant, a type-10 craft. The Chaffee was destroyed in the Gamma Quadrant in 2376 when it was piloted by Ensign Prynn Tenmei, crashing onto an unexplored planet. ("Twilight" [Pocket DS9 Mission Gamma #1]).
Chaiken.: Federation auditor who was killed by Orion saboteurs while inspecting the starship Enterprise. ("Death Count" [Pocket TOS #62]).
Chakotay.: Former Maquis expatriate, the executive officer of the starship Voyager under the command of Captain Janeway. A human of Native American descent, Chakotay grew up on a colony in what later became the Cardassian Demilitarized Zone. He was proud of his heritage, but developed a rebellious streak around the age of 15 when he accompanied his father, Kolopak, to Earth to seek the Rubber Tree People. It was then that Chakotay informed his father he was joining Starfleet Academy against his wishes. Kolopak noted that Chakotay had been a breech birth, the sign of a problem child. Chakotay's applicaion to the Academy was sponsored by Captain Sulu. Following the death of his father Chakotay tattooed his forehead to honor his father and his ancestors. An ancestor of Chakotay had been a school teacher in Arizona in the late twentieth century. ("Caretaker" [VGR #1&2], et al.; "Tattoo" [VGR]; "Future's End" [VGR]; "Pathways" [Pocket VGR HC]). Played by Robert Beltran. A younger Chakotay was played by Douglas Spain in "Tattoo."
Chak'tor, I.K.S.: Klingon starship, B'rel-class bird-of-prey. This vessel was used for training purposes, until it was crashed in 2372 by the cadet group First Cadre. ("War and Peace" [Marvel SA #4]; "Love and Death" [Marvel SA #5]).
Chakuun.: Sentient species. The Chakuun's world was annexed by the Tholians, and the Chakuun now serve that race as their military might. ("The Flat, Gold Forever" [Marvel EV #7]; "The Fallen" [Marvel EV #10&11]).
Chakuun ghostship.: Starship used by the Chakuun. Several times the size of a Constitution-class starship, a ghostship has a large bank of fusion casters designed to deliver massive blasts intended for planetary bombardment. ("The Fallen" [Marvel EV #10&11]).
Chala IV.: Planet. ("The Soldiers of Fear" [Pocket TNG #41]).
Chalan Aroya.: Bajoran woman. ("Broken Link" [DS9 #98]).

Challenger-class.: Type of Federation starship, an exploratory cruiser built during the mid 24th century. Ships of this class include the Buran, Armstrong and Kearsarge, and presumably, the Challenger. ("The Best of Both Worlds" [TNG #74&75]). The Challenger-class starship was a study model built during the third season of Star Trek: The Next Generation and was used in the graveyard scene at Wolf 359. It was made with parts of a Galaxy-class saucer, with bridge and window details scaled up to make it a smaller vessel. The nacelle struts were actually the conning tower from a model submarine. The name "Challenger-class" was coined for this model by Okuda's Star Trek Encyclopedia. The Challenger image I modified for this entry was made by Chris Spinnler of Copernicus Fleet Yards and found in the Wolf 359 Project on Bernd Schneider's Ex Astris Scientia. Plese take some time to visit these superior sites for more information, and as always please contact them if you wish to have more information about reusing their images.
Challenger.: Terran American space shuttle, registry OV-099, one of the first reusable space vehicles in the American nation's NASA program of space exploration. Challenger was destroyed by a launching malfunction in the year 1986, killing all seven aboard. One of the shuttlepods carried aboard the starship Enterprise-D was named for Challenger astronaut Ellison Onizuka. (Historical Fact; “The Ensigns of Command” [TNG]). "The Voyage Home" [Movie #4], released in 1986, bore the following dedication: “The cast and crew of Star Trek wish to dedicate this film to the men and women of the spaceship Challenger whose courageous spirit shall live to the 23rd century and beyond....”
Challenger.: Starship, commanded by Commander Nick Jacob Keller. Challenger was a composite frigate, built from the remains of the combat damaged Federation starship Peleliu by a group of Starfleet personnel from that vessel led by former Pelelieu executive officer Keller. This vessel was the only instrument of Starfleet's authority while the Belle Terre colony was beginning to flourish, and was named by Keller for the historic Terran space vehicle in honor of the sacrifice made by that shuttle's astronauts. ("Chainmail" [Pocket]).

Challenger, U.S.S.: Federation starship, a cruiser-type vessel which was built in the 23rd century, Starfleet registry NCC-2032. (Federation Starship Recognition Manual [FASA RPG]; "The Undiscovered Country" [Movie #6]). The Challenger NCC-2032 was visible only as a data readout in a graphic made for background dressing in Star Trek VI, from a starship mission assignment chart seen on the Enterprise bridge displays and from Colonel West’s "Operation Retrieve" plans, as recorded in Bjo Trimble’s Star Trek Concordance. Closer examination of the graphics used in "The Undiscovered Country" could possibly reveal this as an Excelsior or Constitution-refit type vessel. Since the Challenger-class of the 24th century is made with Galaxy-class technologies and has registries primarily in the NCC-5xxxx range, it seems highly unlikely that this movie era ship with a low registry is intended to represent the prototype of that class. However, many formerly believed this ship to be the prototype of a conjectural Challenger-class consisting of a Constitution-refit saucer and secondary hull, with Constellation nacelles mounted atop. It has been proven that this is not a canon design, but since many websites and publications perpetuate that design, perhaps it could represent this earlier Challenger of a class whose name is not known. The FASA manual lists the registry of a 23rd century Challenger as NCC-1715, a conflict with the registry of the TOS TM and SotSF's U.S.S. Merrimack. The manual also lists this as a Constitution-class vessel, one of hundreds. Doesn't seem likely, so I'm referencing it here as this same unknown class vessel. The majority of the incorrect references referring to this design as Challenger-class seem to originate with a 1992 TNG comic entitled "Thin Ice" which depicted a supposedly Challenger-class U.S.S. Marco Polo, although the appearance of the ship in the comic is quite different from the above schematic of the fan-envisioned deisgn.
Challenger, U.S.S.: Federation starship, prototype for the Challenger-class exploratory cruiser. (Conjecture based on class name). The Challenger-class 3D model is by RedAdmiral, and is shown courtesy of Trekmania. It is nearly completely certain that this, the Challenger prototype, is a totally different vessel from the Challenger mentioned in "The Undiscovered Country" [Movie #6]).
Challenger, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Galaxy-class explorer, Starfleet registry NCC-71099. Commanded by Captain Simm. Third starship to bear the name. ("The Return" [Pocket TOS HC #10]).; In an alternate future timeline, this vessel was commanded by Geordi LaForge, and intercepted the Delta Flyer in an ultimately failed attempt to prevent Commander Chakotay and Ensign Harry Kim from changing history. ("Timeless" [VGR #101]). This Challenger's registry ends with '099,' an homage to the shuttle Challenger which was OV-099 in the NASA program. It is odd that this ship's registry predates that of the Galaxy prototype, but it has happened before... (i.e. NCC-1017).
Chalna.: Planet that was home to the race known as the Chalnoth. The U.S.S. Stargazer, under the command of Captain Picard, visited Chalna in 2354. (“Allegiance” [TNG #66]).
Chalnoth.: Humanoid race that inhabits planet Chalna. The Chalnoth were very large and lupine in appearance, and anarchists by nature. Their race had no use for laws or governments; they existed by murdering those who threatened them. Esoqq was a Chalnoth. (“Allegiance” [TNG #66]).
chameleon rose.: Betazoid flower that changes color with the mood of its owner. Wyatt Miller gave Deanna Troi a chameleon rose before their planned wedding. (“Haven” [TNG]).
chameloid.: Shape-shifting life-form. Martia, an inmate at Rura Penthe, was a chameloid who seemed to enjoy taking the form of a high fashion model. ("The Undiscovered Country" [Movie #6]).
Champs Elysees.: Landmark of the Terran city of Paris. The Champs Elysees is a street in the old city, well known for its beautiful gardens. Nurse Alyssa Ogawa told Beverly Crusher that she visited a holodeck re-creation of the Champs Elysees with a gentleman friend. (“Imaginary Friend” [TNG]).
Chamra Vortex.: Nebula in the Gamma Quadrant containing millions of asteroids, and pockets of unstable gas referred to by locals as toh-maire. Croden of the planet Rakhar hid his daughter, Yareth, on one of of the asteroids, where she survived in a stasis chamber. Croden returned to the Chamra Vortex in 2369 with Odo on a runabout from Deep Space 9, when they revived Yareth. (“Vortex” [DS9]).
chancellor.: Title given to the leader of the Klingon High Council. Past chancellors have included Gorkon, Azetbur, K'Mpec, Gowron, and the current ruler, Martok ("The Undiscovered Country" [Movie #6]). High Council leaders in episodes of The Next Generation have not used this title, instead being described as the equivalent term “council leader,” although the term chancellor was later used in productions of Deep Space Nine and Enterprise.
Chandler.: Criminal who posed as a Starfleet officer on Starbase 7 for a barbit crystal smuggling operation. He was apprehended by Montgomery Scott. ("Rest & Recreation" [DC TOS vol.2 #18]).
Chandler, Jeremiah.: Captain of the starship Cochise in the late 2260s. Chandler's first officer, Commander Esther Ansfield, had once been his teacher when he was a boy, and was the only member of his crew who called him 'Micah,' his nickname. ("The Final Nexus" [Pocket TOS #43]).
Chandley, Thomas.: Terran human, who was a highly-decorated United States naval flag officer in the early 21st century. Rear Admiral Chandley was best known for his blockade of former Soviet ports in the Aleutian Incident of 2003. (Federation Ship Recognition Manual [FASA RPG]).
Chandley-class: Type of Federation starship built in the late 23rd century, classified as a frigate. (Federation Ship Recognition Manual [FASA RPG]).
Chandley, U.S.S.: Federation starship, prototype for the Chandley-class frigate. (Conjecture)
Chandra.: Starfleet command officer, rank of captain, who served on the review board at the 2266 court-martial of James Kirk. ("Court Martial" [TOS #14]).
Chandra.: Little girl, part of the Wadi game of Chula. Chandra sang a song and played hopscotch on Wadi symbols built into the floor of the game’s maze. A player in Chula could only move onto the third shap, or level, by imitating her apparently nonsensical children’s song, called allamaraine, and hopscotch step. ("Move Along Home" [DS9 #10]). Played by Clara Bryant.
Chandra V.: The planet where Tam Elbrun was assigned prior to the Tin Man encounter in 2366. Elbrun described the Chandrans as beautiful, peaceful nonhumanoid creatures("Tin Man" [TNG #68]).
Chandrans.: Peaceful nonhumanoid species who have a three-day ritual for saying hello. ("Tin Man" [TNG #68]).
Chang.: Klingon general, chief of staff to Chancellor Gorkon. A proud warrior, Chang was fond of quoting Shakespeare and other luminaries. Chang feared the changes that peace would bring and conspired with Starfleet admiral Cartwright and others to assassinate Gorkon in an effort to block Gorkon’s peace initiative. Chang was killed at Khitomer when attempting to disrupt the peace conference there in 2293. ("The Undiscovered Country" [Movie #6]). Played by Christopher Plummer. In addition to Chang’s Shakespearean quotes, his demand in court that Kirk answer a question without waiting for a translation is a paraphrase of American ambassador Adlai Stevenson, who made the same demand of Soviet ambassador Valerian Zorin at the United Nations during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962.
Chang.: Starfleet command officer who captained an interceptor-type vessel in the mid to late 23rd century. (Begin Tactical Starship Simulator [Clockwork Software]). The game software put each captain name in command of a random vessel each time the game was played.
Chang.: Officer in charge of Starfleet Academy entrance examinations at the Starfleet facility on planet Relva VII. Chang supervised Wesley Crusher’s first attempt to gain entrance to the Academy in 2364. ("Coming of Age" [TNG #19]). Played by Robert Ito, who also played Professor Hikita in the cult classic motion picture The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai.
Chang.: Design engineer who helped in the construction of the starship Enterprise. He was present on the ships test flight in 2245. ("Final Frontier" [Pocket TOS Giant #3]).
changeling.: Ancient Earth legend of a fairy child that was left in place of a stolen human baby. The changeling took the identity of the human child. Kirk compared the space probe Nomad to a changeling. Croden used the term, in a different context, as a nickname for the shape-shifting Odo. ("The Changeling" [TOS #37]; “Vortex” [DS9]).
changeling infant.: Being discovered by Quark in 2373. This baby, much like Odo, was cast out from the Great Link of the Founders into space in order to gather information about solids, or humanoids. ("The Begotten" [DS9 #110]).
changelings.: Name given to the shape-shifting Founders of the Dominion. Croden used this term in reference to Odo in 2369. While once a derogatory term towards shape-shifters, the Founders adopted the name "changeling" to describe themselves. ("Vortex" [DS9 #12]; "The Search" [DS9 #47&48]).
channel K.: Subspace communication frequency which is unused, recognized by both Earth (and later the Federation) and the Romulan Star Empire as their diplomatic 'lifeline' frequency for contacts between the two governments. This special communications mode was decided on in the treaty negotiations conducted over subspace radio by Romulan praetor Karzan and Earth president Thorpe at the end of the Earth-Romulan Wars. (Technical Manual [TOS]). This was one of the items specified in the treaty presented in the Technical Manual. Channel K is also the frequency apparently used by the convention band S.P.O.C.K, which (for legal reasons) stands for 'Star Pilot on Channel K.'
Channing.: Federation scientist who studied warp physics. Wesley Crusher once cited Channings belief that it might be possible to force dilithium to recrystallize in configurations better able to control the reaction of matter and antimatter. ("Lonely Among Us" [TNG #8]).
Chapel, Christine.: Federation medical scientist. Prior to receiving her medical doctorate, Chapel served as head nurse on the starship Enterprise from 2265 to 2269. Chapel was originally a biomedical research major, working closely with her professor Roger Korby, who was known as the "Pasteur of archaeological medicine." The two grew to have more than a teacher-student relationship, however, and were engaged to be married. When Korby's expedition to Exo III disappeared in the early 2260's, Christine enlisted in Starfleet based on her credentials as a registered nurse, and requested assignment on the next vessel bound for Exo so she could help locate her lover. When she found that there was nothing left of the man she knew as Korby, she stayed aboard the Enterprise for the rest of its tour of duty. During this time she developed a rather notorious affection for the ship's first officer, Spock. After the Enterprise finished it's five year mission, Christine completed her doctorate at Stanford and was commissioned as an officer, interning as assistant staff physician on the refit Enterprise two years later. By 2285 she rose to the rank of commander, as head of Starfleet Medical on Terra. Chapel directed emergency operations at Starfleet Command when Earth was threatened in 2286 with ecological disaster by an alien space probe of unknown origin. ("What Are Little Girls Made Of?" [TOS #9]; "The Naked Time" [TOS #6]; "Traitor Winds" [Pocket TOS #70]; "The Motion Picture" [Movie #1]; "The Voyage Home" [Movie #4]; "Enterprise: The First Adventure" [Pocket Giant #1]). Played by Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the wife of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. She has also portrayed Number One in "The Cage" [TOS unaired pilot] (under the name M. Leigh Hudec); Lwaxana Troi on The Next Generation as well as the computer voice in all of the Star Trek TV series. Barrett also lent her voice to the Companion (“Metamorphosis” [TOS]) the Beta 5 computer (“Assignment: Earth” [TOS]), and M’Ress in the Animated Series. A nurse aboard the Enterprise-D in “Transfigurations” [TNG] was referred to in the script as Nurse Temple (played by Patti Tippo), sort of an homage to Nurse Chapel. Chapel’s first appearance was in “The Naked Time.”
Chapman, William: Starfleet lieutenant assigned to the starship Voyager. While that vessel was trapped in the Delta Quadrant, Chapman was selected by Seven of Nine as a candidate for her first date. He suffered minor injuries as a result. Chapman later canceled a game of Ping Pong due to space sickenss. ("Someone to Watch Over Me" [VGR]; "Relativity" [VGR]). Played by Brian McNamara.
Charger.: Space vessel that took part in the Belle Terre expedition in the 2270s. ("Wagon Train to the Stars" [Pocket New Earth #1]).
Charles.: Conn officer on the starship Enterprise-E who was injured during a battle with Cardassians in 2374. ("Behind Enemy Lines" [Pocket Dominion War #1]).
Charles, Sasha.: Starfleet cadet. Charles was in Cadet Bloc G in 2265 along with Pavel Chekov. ("The Kobayashi Maru" [Pocket TOS #47]).
Charleston, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Excelsior-class, Starfleet registry NCC-42285, that ferried three revived 20th-century cryonic survivors back to Earth in 2364. (“The Neutral Zone” [TNG]).
Charybdis.: Early 21st-century space vehicle launched from Earth by NASA on July 23, 2037, under the command of Colonel Stephen Richey. The Charybdis was the third manned attempt to travel beyond Earth’s Solar System. The ship suffered a telemetry failure and its fate was unknown until 2365 when the remains of the Charybdis were discovered in orbit around a planet in the Theta 116 system. (“The Royale” [TNG]). In Greek mythology, Charybdis is one of two sea monsters who lived in a cave near the Straits of Messina. The other monster was Scylla.
Chateau Picard.: Fine wine produced at the Picard family vineyards in Labarre, France. Robert Picard gave his brother, Jean-Luc, a bottle of 2347 Chateau Picard following Jean-Luc’s visit home in 2367. (“Family” [TNG]).
chech’tluth.: Klingon alcoholic beverage. Worf ordered some chech’tluth for Bringloidi colony leader Danilo Odell, who found it sufficiently potent. (“Up the Long Ladder” [TNG]).
Chekote.: Starfleet admiral.("Gambit" [TNG]; "The Circle" [DS9]).
Chekov, Pavel Andreievich.: Starfleet admiral, a Terran of Russian descent, serial number 656-5827B. Chekov had a long career in Starfleet, rising to the position of commander-in-chief in the 23rd century. Previous to that, Chekov had commanded the starships Potemkin and Cydonia. Prior to his commands he had served on the starships Excelsior, Enterprise-A and Reliant. Chekov's first assignment was in 2265 on the Enterprise as a junior navigator, at the age of twenty-two. Chekov was a gifted navigator, but his career is defined by his utility as an officer, serving in many divisions. He served as an assistant science officer under Spock aboard the Enterprise in addition to his navigational duties, but near the end of that tour Chekov was promoted to lieutenant junior grade, and filled in as an assistant in the security department, and later received security chief certification at Starfleet Security Academy and became a full lieutenant, security chief aboard the refit Enterprise. Admiral Chekov wrote several texts about his experiences in historical events in the late 23rd century that are popular, if not required, reading at the Academy. ("Catspaw" [TOS #30], et al.; "The Motion Picture" [Mvie #1]; "The Wrath of Khan [Movie #2]; "Generations" [Movie #7]; "Federation" [Pocket HC]; "Traitor Winds" [Pocket TOS]; "Action of the Tiger" [Marvel Unlimited]; "The Sundered" [Pocket TOS]). Played by Walter Koenig. The novel "Federation" by Gar and Judith Reeves-Stevens revealed that Chekov had eventually ascended to the rank of Admiral and had written several historical novels about the exploits of the Enterprise and other vessels he served on. Later William Shatner novels cowritten by the Reeves-Stevens stated that Chekov had actually become the commander-in-chief of Starfleet (including one reference stating he might still hold that position as of the era of the Dominion War, which is questionable at best).
Chekov, Pavel Andreievich (mirror).: Junior navigator on the Terran Empire starship Enterprise. Chekov was subjected to the agony booth for the attempted assassination of Captain Kirk in 2267.; ("Mirror, Mirror" [TOS #39]). Played by Walter Koenig.; Chekov, Pavel A.; (Walter Koenig). Navigator on the original Starship Enterprise under the command of Captain James Kirk. Born in 2245 (“Who Mourns for Adonais?” [TOS]), Chekov held the rank of ensign during his first mission aboard the ship. (“Catspaw” [TOS]). His . (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home). Pavel Andreievich Chekov was an only child, although he once imagined he had a brother named Piotr while under the influence of the Beta XII-A entity. (“Day of the Dove” [TOS]). While at Starfleet Academy, Chekov became involved with a young woman named Irina Galliulin, but the relationship did not last because Galliulin was uncomfortable with the structured way of life required by Starfleet. Years later, the two met again when Galliulin sought the mythical planet Eden with Dr. Sevrin. (“The Way to Eden” [TOS]). In 2267, Chekov was the only member of an Enterprise landing party to Gamma Hydra IV who was not affected with an aging disease. During the mission, Chekov became startled at the sight of a dead colonist. The surge of adrenaline protected him from radiation sickness that caused the aging process. (“The Deadly Years” [TOS]). Chekov was promoted to lieutenant and assigned as security chief aboard the Enterprise following the conclusion of Kirk’s first five-year mission. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture). Chekov later served aboard the U.S.S. Reliant as first officer under Captain Clark Terrell, before returning to the Enterprise after the Reliant was destroyed at the Mutara Nebula by Khan. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan). Chekov joined the Star Trek cast in “Catspaw” (TOS) at the beginning of the second season, although Khan claimed to have remembered him from “Space Seed” (TOS), filmed before the character was created. Walter Koenig’s wife, actor Judy Levitt, played several roles in the Star Trek movies. These included a doctor at Mercy Hospital in Star Trek IV, and a Starfleet Command officer in Star Trek VI.; ~1:[2,#B],6:[3,#B],26:[3,#B]@1Chekov, Piotr; ~1:[2,#B],13:[2,#B],27:[3,#B],35:[3,#B]@1Cheney, Ensign; ~1:[1,#B],43:[2,#B]@1Cheron; ~1:[1,#B],3:[2,#B]@1chess; ~1:[5,#BI],24:[3,#B],34:[2,#BI],50:[2,#B]@1Chicago Mobs of the Twenties; ~1:[3,#B],44:[2,#I],47:[6,#B],55:[2,#B],58:[3,#B],62:[3,#B],70:[1,#I]@1chief medical officer; ~1:[3,#B],8:[1,#B]@1Children of Tama; ~1:[4,#B],88:[3,#B]@1Children of the Sun; ~1:[2,#B],13:[1,#I],20:[2,#B],23:[2,#B]@1Children’s Center; ~1:[2,#B],11:[2,#B],17:[2,#B],27:[11,#I],38:[2,#BI]@1Childress, Ben; ~1:[2,#B],14:[1,#B]@1chime, Betazoid; ~1:[1,#B],17:[1,#I],43:[1,#B]@1chlorinide; ~1:[1,#B],7:[1,#B],19:[1,#B],29:[2,#B]@1chlorobicrobes; ~1:[1,#B],7:[1,#B]@1chloromydride; ~1:[1,#B],14:[2,#B],45:[2,#I],48:[3,#B]@1chocolate; ~1:[1,#B],18:[2,#I],38:[2,#B],41:[1,#B]@1cholera; ~1:[5,#B],18:[2,#B],21:[2,#B],35:[1,#I]@1Chopin’s Trio in G Minor; ~1:[1,#B],8:[1,#B],11:[2,#B],18:[1,#B],43:[1,#B]@1Chorgan; ~1:[1,#B],19:[2,#B],56:[1,#B],64:[2,#B],74:[3,#B]@1chorus; ~1:[1,#B],5:[2,#B]@1Christina; ~1:[3,#B],34:[3,#B],41:[1,#B],44:[2,#I],61:[1,#I],117:[2,#B],135:[1,#I]@1Christopher, Captain John; ~1:[4,#B],10:[2,#B],15:[3,#B],32:[1,#I],78:[7,#I],87:[10,#I]@1Christopher, Colonel Shaun Geoffrey; ~1:[2,#B],15:[2,#B],23:[1,#I],32:[2,#B]@1Christopher, Dr.; ~1:[1,#B],16:[2,#B]@1chrondite; ~1:[2,#B],20:[2,#B],23:[2,#B]@1chroniton particles; ~1:[1,#B],24:[2,#B],35:[2,#B]@1Chrysalians; ~1:[1,#B],8:[1,#B],13:[2,#B],75:[1,#B],171:[1,#B],187:[1,#B]@1Chula

(Star Fleet Intelligence--Agent's Orientation Sourcebook [FASA RPG]).
Clarion, U.S.S.: Federation starship. ("Metamorphosis" [Pocket TNG Giant #1]).
Clark, Margaret C.: Starfleet captain. In 2374, reports from the starships Cochrane, Nobel, Wyoming, Starbase 153 and Starbase 129 reported that Captain Clark was missing in action, and a report from the starship Repulse stated she was wounded in action. ("In the Pale Moonlight" [DS9 #143]). The names and status reports came from a casualty report shown in a background computer display. Possibly named as an in-joke for Pocket Books and DC Comics Star Trek editor Margaret Clark.
Clarke.: Long-range warp shuttle on the starship Enterprise destroyed by Orion agents. ("Death Count" [Pocket TOS #62]).
Clavin, U.S.S.: Federation starship. Prior to her service aboard the starship Enterprise-D, Anaanda Ziff served aboard this vessel. ("Eye of the Beholder" [TNG]). Ziff's service record was displayed on a monitor in the episode. The previous assignment ships appear to be a reference to the TV series Cheers.

Claymore, U.S.S.: Federation starship, operated under the authority of Starfleet Intelligence. This ship is a four-deck scout, but has a large sensor plate for long range emissions testing and information interception. (Star Fleet Intelligence--Agent's Orientation Sourcebook [FASA RPG]).
Clayton.: ([TAS]).
class-M planet.: Rating in the planetary classification system indicating a geologically active planet with an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere and gravity within levels tolerable by Terrans. ("The Cage" [TOS unaired pilot]).
Cle Dan-class.: Type of Federation starship built in the 23rd century, typified as a combat support tender. The Cle Dan tender was designed to travel in battle fleets and provide rapid repairs to damaged starships. The Cle Dan is designed with mobility and speed in mind, and as such cannot perform advanced repairs such as slower, better equppied tender vessels. In extreme circumstances, with the proper parts availability, however, the Cle Dan's retractable arms have been able to replace entire warp nacelles without outside assistance. The Cle Dan class were built at the Salazaar Shipyards and facilities on Terra for some time, some of these vessels have been sold in auction to civilian and commercial concerns. (Federation Starship Recognition Manual [FASA RPG]).
Cle Dan, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Cle Dan-class combat support tender. The Cle Dan was the first ship of its class constructed. (Conjecture).
Cleary.: Engineering lieutenant who served under Montgomery Scott on the refit Enterprise in 2271. ("The Motion Picture" [Movie #1]). Played by Michael Rougas.
Clement, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Apollo-class, Starfleet registry NCC-12537. A 2370 rendezvous between the Clement and the Enterprise-D was canceled when the Enterprise-D was ordered to the Argaya system. In 2374, this vessel was involved with fighting on the Dominion front and submitted casualty reports which were received by Deep Space 9. ("Lower Decks" [TNG #167]; "In the Pale Moonlight" [DS9 #143]). The "In the Pale Moonlight" names and status reports came from a casualty report shown in a background computer display.
Cleopatra.: ("The Legacy of Lazarus" [Gold Key TOS #9]).
Cleponji.: Promellian battle cruiser commanded by Galek Sar. ("Booby Trap" [TNG #54]).
cloaking device.: Instrument used to make the exterior of a starship invisible to traditional sensing apparatus. The cloaking device bends light around a starships hull, but at a great power loss. The first vessel to be equipped with an invisibility screen was a Romulan bird-of-prey that destroyed several Federation outposts in 2264. ("Balance of Terror" [TOS #8]).
Clory, Ned.: ("Red Sector" [Pocket TNG #53]).
Coan, Rachel.: Starfleet commodore, the commandant of Cadet Bloc W in 2259. ("The Kobayashi Maru" [Pocket TOS #47]).

Cochrane, Zefram: 21st century Terran scientist. ("Metamorphosis" [TOS #31]; "First Contact" [Movie #8]; "Broken Bow" [ENT #1&2]; "Present Tense" [Pocket TOS Janus Gate #1]). Played by James Cromwell in "First Contact" and "Broken Bow." Played by Glenn Corbett in "Metamorphosis." Fandom sources often misspell Cochrane's first name as 'Zephram.'
Cochrane, U.S.S.: Federation starship, a dreadnought type vessel in the mid to late 23rd century. This ship had a complement was over 500 crewpeople, and was armed with six phaser emplacements and eight launch tubes. (Begin Tactical Starship Simulator [Clockwork Software]).
Cochrane, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Oberth-class scout, Starfleet registry NCC-59318. In 2369 the Cochrane transported Dr. Julian Bashir to his assignment on Deep Space 9. In 2374, this vessel was involved with fighting on the Dominion front and submitted casualty reports which were received by Deep Space 9. ("Emissary" [DS9#1&2]; "In the Pale Moonlight" [DS9 #143]). This vessel's name and registry is derived from Okuda's Encyclopedia. The "In the Pale Moonlight" names and status reports came from a casualty report shown in a background computer display.
Cochrane Museum.: Space travel facility located in New York City on the planet Terra. ("The Fallen" [Marvel EV #10&11]).
Coffey.: Security officer on the starship Enterprise. Coffey was Sweeney's bunkmate when that officer died. ("Death Count" [Pocket TOS #62]).
collar of obedience.: Device used by the Providers of Triskelion. The collars, placed around the neck of a captured Thrall, are used to denote which Provider the Thrall belongs to, and can be used to inflict pain as a punishment to unruly captives. When Kirk's landing party arrived on Triskelion in 2266, they were fitted with clear, uncolored collars until they were bought by Providers. Galt, the head drill Thrall, was fitted with a tricolor collar to show that he served all three Providers. ("The Gamesters of Triskelion" [TOS #46]).
Colt, J. Mia.: Captain's yeoman on the starship Enterprise, assigned in 2254 under the command of Chris Pike. Colt was a replacement for Dermot Cusack, who was killed by supporters of the Kaylar warriors on Rigel VII. ("The Cage" [TOS unaired pilot]; "Nor Iron Bars a Cage" [Marvel EV #4], et al.; "To Walk the Night" [DC TOS vol.2 Annual #4]). Played by Laurel Goodwin.
colonizer.: Spaceborne lifeform. ("To Walk the Night" [DC TOS vol.2 Annual #4]).
Columbia.: Terran American space shuttle, registry OV-102, one of the first reusable space vehicles in the American nation's NASA program of space exploration. Built in 1981, Columbia was destroyed by a landing malfunction on its twenty-eighth mission in the year 2003, killing all seven aboard. (Historical Fact).
Columbia, S.S.: Research spacecraft launched in 2236 to survey the Talos star group, under the auspices of the American Continent Institute. The vessel shipwrecked, crashing on planet Talos IV, with only one survivors, a crewwoman named Vina. Eighteen years later, the starship Enterprise would investigate after recieving a slow radio pulse distress call that tripped their deflector circuits. ("The Cage" [TOS unaired pilot]).
Columbia, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-483. Named in honor of the ancient Terran sail ship and of that planet's early space shuttle orbiter which was lost in 2003. (James Dixon). I cannot locate the source where Dixon originated the data on this ship, but I include it anyway.

Columbia, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Cygnus-class scout, Starfleet registry NCC-621. Second starship to bear the name. The construction of this vessel was authorized by an appropriation of Mk-VIIB scouts on stardate 5099. The Columbia was ordered by Commodore Probert to rendezvous with the starship Revere on stardate 7412. ("The Motion Picture" [Movie #1]; Technical Manual [TOS]; Federation Starship Recognition Chart).
Columbia, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Excelsior-class explorer, Starfleet registry NCC-2002. Third starship to bear the name, the Columbia was mothballed in the mid-23rd century. (Officer's Manual [FASA TNG]). The manual listed this, contrary to Starfleet naming conventions, as the 'Columbia II' but there may be more starships that precede this.
Columbus.: Shuttle on the starship Enterprise. ("The Galileo Seven" [TOS #13]).
Colunga.: Space vessel that took part in the Belle Terre expedition in the 2270s, a Graymark Engineering tender commanded by Montgomery Scott. ("Wagon Train to the Stars" [Pocket New Earth #1]).
Comanche.: Space vessel that took part in the Belle Terre expedition in the 2270s, a leased Conestoga carrier commanded by Captain Geglio. ("Wagon Train to the Stars" [Pocket New Earth #1]).
combadge.: Pin insignia worn by Starfleet officers and personnel in the 24th century that contains a subspace tranciever that allows them to communicate with other persons or ships. This device is an extreme miniaturization of handheld communicators used by officers in previous centuries. The first combadges were issued in the late 2340s. The same design was used until 2371 when a new Starfleet insignia replaced them. Several encounters with time travelers has revealed future combadge variants that have different insignia designs, although most maintain the standard Starfleet arrowhead design. ("Encounter at Farpoint" [TNG #1&2]).
conciousness parasite.: Lifeform. ("Coda" [VGR #58]).
Companion.: Lifeform. ("Metamorphosis" [TOS #31]).
comparative xenobiology.: Starfleet Academy subject. At the time of his commission, Cadet Spock led his class in comparative xenobiology. ("Flesh of My Flesh" [Marvel EV #1]).
computer.: The standard Starfleet computer voices used on the original Enterprise, the Enterprise-D, Defiant and Voyager were all played by Majel-Barrett Roddenberry. The Deep Space Nine computer voice in "Emissary" was played by Jodi Durand.
Concorde, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Freedom-class, Starfleet registry NCC-68711. ("All Good Things..." [TNG #177&178]).
Conklin.: Starfleet captain. ("Starship Mine" [TNG #144]).
Conner.: Grandchild of Leonard McCoy, the oldest son of Joanna. ("Shadows on the Sun" [Pocket TOS]). Conner's last name was not revealed.
Connolly, Elizabeth.: ("Dreadnought!" [Pocket TOS #29]).
Conor, Aaron.: Leader of the Genome colony on Moab IV. ("The Masterpiece Society" [TNG #113]).
Conquiidor.: Federation planet. ("Survivors" [Pocket TNG #4]).
conservator.: Title of the leader of planet Kat II. (Ships of the Star Fleet, vol. 2). SEE ALSO: public conservator.
constable.: Nickname given to Odo by the inhabitants and crew of DS9. ("Emissary" [DS9 #1&2]).
Constant.: Vulcan science vessel. ("The Pandora Principle" [Pocket TOS]).

Constant-class: Type of Federation starship, an older light cruiser/destroyer used during the Dominion War made up of Constitution-class components. (Technical Manual [DS9]). The name 'Constant-class' was devised myself, a shortening of the cumbersome and inaccurate name for this class, Constitution-variant. This vessel was first seen in the Deep Space Nine Technical Manual, but recently acquired photos of the studio model show it has a greatly different hull color scheme as shown in the illustration. I created the above illustration to show this. If this ship was used onscreen, it probably would have been used in the "A Time to Stand" [DS9] fleet, or another episode thereabouts.
Constantinople.: City on the planet Terra, now known as Istanbul. ("Requiem for Methuselah" [TOS #76]).
Constantinople, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Istanbul-class. ("The Schizoid Man" [TNG #31]).

Constellation-class.: Type of Federation starship, classified as an exploratory cruiser. The Constellations had four warp nacelles attached two to a pylon to a central saucer section and measures approximately 280 meters in length. Ships built to this specification include the Constellation, Ferrell, Gettysburg, Hathaway, Magellan, Stargazer, and Victory. ("The Battle" [TNG #10]).
Constellation, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Constitution-class heavy cruiser, Starfleet registry NCC-1017. Commanded by Commodore Matthew Decker. The Constellation had previously been commanded by Captain Ran Armstrong. In 2267 the Constellation encountered an aien artifact which is now known as the planet-killer. Attacked by the device, the ship was all but destroyed and Commodore Decker order the crew to abandon the vessel while he operated the transporter. The crew was beamed to the third planet of the L-374 system and subsequently perished when that body was ingested by the planet killer as fuel. The Constellation was destroyed when Captain Kirk of the Enterprise piloted the vessel into the mouth of the planet-killer and set of a impulse engine overload which destroyed that device. ("The Doomsday Machine" [TOS]; Technical Manual [Mastercom TOS]; Ships of the Star Fleet [Mastercom TOS]; Federation Starship Recognition Manual [FASA RPG]). It is an oddity that the filmed version of the episode portrays the Constellation as having a registry some 700 numbers earlier than its Constitution-class sister ships. Of course, this is only because the modelmakers rearranged the 'NCC-1701' decal sheet from the AMT Enterprise model that became the Constellation. According to SotSF, the Constellation had originally existed as a Horizon-class starship, and was refit to the configuration of a Constitution-class vessel. While this may be plausible, I still subscribe to the theory that the Constitution-class simply had varied, non-sequential registries, not that they were cobbled together from pieces of aging hulks. It just doesn't seem likely.
Constellation, U.S.S.: Federation starship, built by the Cosmadyne Corporation at Houston on Terra in the last half of the 23rd century. Commanded by Captain Mike Walsh, the second starship to bear the name Constellation. The Constellation was part of the task force investigation Romulan weapons experiments at the Levaeri V station in 2269. Commanded by Captain Carmen Ikeya, the ship was later destroyed with a crew of 400 in 2282 when a temporal anomaly caused the star Achernar to collapse while the Constellation orbited it. ("My Enemy, My Ally" [Pocket TOS]; "Time for Yesterday" [Pocket TOS]; Ships of the Star Fleet [Mastercom]). "My Enemy, My Ally" depicted this vessel as having the same registry number as its predecessor, a fact that has been disregarded. I have avoided classifying this new Constellation as being a member of the Enterprise's same class because of inflated numbers of Constitution-variant vessels that exist, it could easily be another type of cruiser since it was never stated what class it was in either novel. Indeed, Ships of the Star Fleet states that the Constitution 'death list' names will not be reused for new Constitution vessels. Ships of the Star Fleet posits this might be a Cyane-class Miranda-variant vessel, but the registry they provide, NCC-1895, is taken by the U.S.S. Endeavour according to "The Undiscovered Country" [Movie #6]'s readouts.
Constellation, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Constellation-class exploratory cruiser, Starfleet registry NX-1974. The prototype of this new class, this vessel was commissioned in the last quarter of the 23rd century ("The Undiscovered Country" [Movie #6]). Oddly enough, some other Constellation-class ships (Sempach, Hathaway) existed before the prototype was supposedly created, and to complicate things, before previous Constellations were taken from service. Possibly the prototype remained unnmaed and out-of-service while other ships of the class were completed due to construction difficulties.
Constellation, U.S.S.: Federation starship. This vessel was dispatched by Starfleet Command to ferry a young Jem'Hadar to Starfleet in 2371. This ship also assisted in searching for survivors of the U.S.S. Honshu disaster in 2375. ("The Abandoned" [DS9]; "Waltz" [DS9]). I am skeptical that this is the same vessel that was the Constellation-class prototype 90 years earlier.


Constitution-class.: Type of Federation starship classified as a heavy cruiser, first contructed in 2245, under the supervision of Captain Robert April, who coined the term "starship" in official fleet records for the Constitution-class. While the first vessel contracted of this class was the prototype NX-1700 U.S.S. Constitution, the first vessel completed and placed into service was the subsequently contracted NCC-1701, U.S.S. Enterprise. In 2366 there were twelve of this type of ship in service. This class became the backbone of the Federation fleet in the mid 23rd century until phased out by the Excelsior-class in the 2290s. Most of the Constitution-class were uprated to new configurations based on the starship Enterprise's 2271 refit. While these are technically Constitution-class ships, they were informally referred to as Enterprises to recognize the design differences present. SEE: Enterprise-class. 23 decks in height, the Constitution-class measured 289 meters in length and achieved a maximum emergency speed of warp factor 9 on the old scale, although structurally the ship was found to be able to survive warp factor 14 for short periods of time. Ships of this type include the Enterprise, Eagle, Intrepid, Yorktown, Farragut, Defiant, Constellation, Hood, Exeter, Excalibur, Endeavour, Pathfinder and the class ship Constitution. The Yorktown, decommissioned in 2286, still exists in its original configuration in the Starfleet Museum. ("Court-Martial" [TOS]; "Tomorrow is Yesterday" [TOS]; "Space Seed" [TOS]; "Relics" [TNG]; "The Motion Picture" [Movie #1]; Ships of the Star Fleet). The first Constitution-class starship seen on screen was of course the U.S.S. Enterprise, designed by Matt Jefferies in 1964 for "The Cage."; *; *; * ("The Tholian Web" [TOS]).; ("The Undiscovered Country" [Movie #6]).; ("The Ultimate Computer" [TOS]).; * ("Experiment in Vengeance" [Marvel TOS]).; ("The Cage" [TOS unaired pilot]).; (Star Trek Encyclopedia).; ("The Omega Glory" [TOS]).; * ("Obsession" [TOS]).; ("The Ultimate Computer" [TOS]).; ("The Immunity Syndrome" [TOS]).; ("The Undiscovered Country" [Movie #6]).; ("The Ultimate Computer" [TOS]).; * ("What Fools These Mortals Be" [Gold Key TOS]).; ("The Ultimate Computer" [TOS]).; * (Star Trek Maps).; ("Obsession" [TOS]).; U.S.S.

Constitution, U.S.S.: Federation starship. During the Tarn conflicts the Constitution was responding to a falsified distress call when it was torpedoed, resulting in 200 deaths, including a young Ensign LaForge. ("The Forgotten War" [Pocket TNG #57]).
Constitution, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Constitution-class heavy cruiser, Starfleet registry NCC-1700. First ship of it's type contracted for construction, the Constitution's keel was laid down on 27 November 2242, and launched on 16 March 2245, and finally commissioned on 3 May 2246. The Constitution was still under construction dealing with design problems when its sister ship, the Enterprise, was launched in 2245. In 2268, the Constitution was commanded by Captain Phil Waterston. ("Space Seed" [TOS #24]; "Final Frontier" [Pocket TOS Giant #3]; "Cloak" [Pocket TOS Section 31]; Ships of the Star Fleet; Federation Starship Recognition Manual [FASA RPG]; Begin Tactical Starship Simulator [Clockwork Software]).
Constitution, U.S.S.: Federation starship, the third starship to bear the name, commanded by Captain Jules van Osterlich. The Constitution was one of two vessels to respond when the planet Archaria III was struck by a Rhulian flu prion plague in 2364. The ship's population became infected when First Officer Solack inadvertantly carried the prion particles back to the vessel. ("Infection" [Pocket TNG #51]; "Red Sector" [Pocket TNG #53]). I believe the author of this novel intended for the newest Constitution to be of the Galaxy-class, but there is simply no way there could be so many ships of this class in Starfleet as the Pocket Books authors seem to believe there would be. Gene Roddenberry, Rick Sternbach and Mike Okuda have all repeatedly said that the original run of these vessels was 6 starships, the first three mentioned in the Technical Manual [TNG] were the Galaxy, Enterprise-D and Yamato. Since then, many more have been seen including the Odyssey, Venture, Challenger and possibly the Trinculo.

Corvallens.: Humanoid species. ("Face of the Enemy" [TNG #140]).
corzanium.: Anti-gravitic substance found in high-mass stellar phenomena. Corzanium is nearly impossible to collect and process due to the fact that it is only found in the event horizons of singularities such as black holes. ("Behind Enemy Lines" [Pocket Dominion War #1]; "Tunnel Through the Stars" [Pocket Dominion War #3]).

Coventry-class: Type of Federation starship. The Coventry-class was a frigate built in the mid-23rd century, designed as a smaller complement using design elements from the new technology in Saladin and Constitution vessels. Planned as a series of heavy frigates, the design was pared down and on 30 November 2244 the Coventry design was redesignated by Starfleet as a frigate. The first vessels of this class, the Coventry, Santander and Socorro, were laid down in July of 2245. Construction of these vessels was completed in March through May of 2246, with several other vessels to follow. The intial performance of this class were completed in January 2247, when those vessels were commissioned into active service. The vessel consisted of an extended saucer hull with two underslung warp nacelles. The basic planform of this design would be used in a refit version as the basis of the Miranda-class of starship, which included an upper torpedo rollbar. A variant of this vessel with a rollbar existed, as the U.S.S. Cortez, which was destroyed at Darrien-224 in 2254. Subsequent variants include the removal of the lower deflector dish, replaced either with a deflector spire or enhancement of the forward saucer deflectors to be used as the primary shield emitter. In 2259, Starfleet rejected plans for existing Coventrys to be retrofit with Corvus deflectors, but rejected on the basis of the satisfactory performance of the B-Sentry units. In 2261, some vessels were fitted with a deflector spire to replace the deflector dish. Vessels of this class served as test vessels for phaser cannon systems in 2269, newer build variants, some with the rollbar packages. Another variant with an abbreviated aft hull was given its own class designation as the Surya-class frigate. There were almost three dozen of these vessels built, including the U.S.S. Coventry. (Ships of the Star Fleet; "Cloak & Dagger" [Marvel EV #5&6]). The Coventry-class image was created by Michael Bartel of http://captainmike.org. Please supply credit if you wish to reuse it.
Coventry, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Coventry-class heavy cruiser, Starfleet registry NCC-1230. First vessel of the Coventry-class, commissioned on 17 January 2247. (Ships of the Star Fleet).

Covington, Barbara P.: Starfleet lieutenant. In 2374, reports from the starship Cochrane, Starbase 153 and Starbase 129 reported that Lt. Covington was missing in action, and reports from the starships Repulse and Wyoming stated she 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.
