THE TREKKER'S GALACTOPEDIA
by CAPTAIN MIKE

E SECTION 1: E through Em.

E-band emissions.: Electromagnetic signals sometimes emitted by collapsing protostars. E-band transmissions were used by Romulan operatives in 2367 as a means of secretly transmitting commands to Geordi LaForge through his VISOR. Those signals were delta-compressed on a frequency similar to that of human brainwaves. ("The Mind's Eye" [TNG]).
E-mail.: Electronic mail, a term coined in the last quarter of the 1900s. The transmission of data and messages from one computer to another. This method of communication was used extensively in the 20th and 21st centuries, on primitive silicon-based computers that used archaic icon based operating systems.. ("Past Tense" [DS9]; "Future's End" [VGR]).
Eagle, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Constitution-class heavy cruiser, Starfleet registry NCC-956. ("The Undiscovered Country" [Movie #6]).
ear reciever.: Small electronic device used by Starfleet personnel for personal monitoring of audio data without being overheard or interfering with the concentration of others. ([The Original Series])
Earhart, Amelia.: Noted aviator, the first woman to fly alone across Earth's Atlantic Ocean, born in 1898. Earhart disappeared without a trace in 1937 while flying a Lockheed Electra aircraft in an attempt to fly around the Earth. Unknown to the population of 20th century Earth, Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan were among some three hundred humans abducted from the planet and taken some 70,000 light-years to the Briori homeworld in the Delta Quadrant. Earhart and six other abductees were kept in cryostasis for centuries until they were revived in 2371 by the crew of the starship Voyager. Earhart and Noonan both elected to remain on the former Briori planet they were discovered on along with a colony descended from the original abductees. ("The 37's" [VGR]). Played by Sharon Lawrence.
Earl Grey tea.: Blended black tea flavored with bergamot or lavender oil. A favorite beverage of Jean-Luc Picard, who often ordered it hot through the ship's food replicator. ("Contagion" [TNG]).
early French impressionists.: School of painters on Earth who worked in or around the 1870s, including Manet, Degas, Renoir and Monet. Data did several pieces emulating the styles of these artists as part of his exploration of painting. ("Inheritance" [TNG]).
Earp, Morgan.: Law enforcement official from Terra's ancient American West, who fought against the Clanton family in 1861 at the famous gunfight at the OK Corral. A replica of Morgan was created by the Melkotians in 2268 as part of a bizarre illusory drama intended to kill Kirk and the members of his crew. ("Spectre of the Gun" [TOS]). Played by Rex Holman, who also appeared as J'Onn in "The Final Frontier" [Movie #5].
Earp, Virgil.: Brother to Morgan and Wyatt Earp. The Melkotians recreated Virgil for a bizarre illusory drama unfolded around the Enterprise crew, intended to cause their deaths. ("Spectre of the Gun" [TOS]). Played by Charles Maxwell.
Earp, Wyatt.: Legendary law enforcement official from Terra's ancient west, who came into conflict with members of the Clanton family in a famous gunfight at the OK Corral in 1881. The Melkotians recreated Wyatt for a bizarre illusory drama unfolded around the Enterprise crew, intended to cause their deaths. ("Spectre of the Gun" [TOS]). Played by Ron Soble.
Earth.: Mostly harmless. SEE: Terra.
Earth Colony 2.: ("What Are Little Girls Made Of?" [TOS]).
Earth Colony 7.: ("The Enchanted Pool" [Bantam TOS New Voyage]).

Nog recieve a copy of this book in order to help him attend Starfleet Academy in 2372. ("Little Green Men" [DS9]).
Earth-Saturn probe.: ("Tomorrow is Yesterday" [TOS]).
Earth Station Bobruisk.: Space station located in orbit of Terra, geosynchronously over the Russian nation states. Bobruisk Station relayed a transporter beam to allow Sergei and Helena Rozhenko to materialize on the orbiting starship Enterprise-D to visit their adoptive son, Worf, in 2367. ("Family" [TNG]).
Earth Station McKinley.: Space station located in orbit of Terra. ("Family" [TNG]).
East Winds.: Federation transport vessel home-ported on Risa. The captain, Cassandra, is an old friend of Curzon Dax. In 2276 when an Iconian gateways radiation discharge necessitated the evacuation of the Europa Nova colonie, Ezri Dax arranged for Cassandra's help in using the vessel to relocate the colony's population. ("Demons of Air and Darkness" [Pocket DS9 Gateways]).
Eastern Coalition.: A major governmental power on Terra in the 21st century. ("First Contact" [Movie #8]).
Eastwood.: Starfleet captain who commanded an cruiser-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.

Eddington, Michael.: Starfleet Lieutenant Commander. Assigned as Starfleet security liaison to DS9 in 2371 with the arrival of the USS Defiant. Revealed to be a Maquis traitor in 2372 when he hijacked a shipment of industrial replicators destined for the Cardassians. Before he left to join the Maquis he planted a number of cascade viruses in the USS Defiant and DS9 computer cores. Eventually captured by Captain Sisko using some very unorthodox tactics. Taken by Sisko into the Badlands to prevent a group of surviving Maquis from launching a retaliatory strike against Cardassia and possibly precipitating and full-scale war, the plan was actual a hoax to rescue Rebecca Sullivan and others from a remote base. He sacrificed his life to stall a squad of Jem'Hadar on Althos IV and give time for Captain Sisko to get away. ("The Search" [DS9]; "The Die is Cast" [DS9]; "For the Cause" [DS9]; "For the Uniform" [DS9]; "Blaze of Glory" [DS9]). Played by Kenneth Marshall.
Edentata.: The Federation ambassador form the planet Tandenborstel. Edentata, whom Kirk likened to an armadillo, was one of thirteen dignitaries ferried to Detente Station One in 2269. When his quarters were being prepared he requested his bed be replaced with a box of sand. ("Death's Angel" [Bantam TOS]).
Eden.: ("The Way to Eden" [TOS]; "The Final Frontier" [Movie #5]).
Edins.: Politically powerful Danterian family of which Falkar and his son Ryjaan were members. ("Endgame" [Pocket NF #4])
Edo.: Humanoid species from Rubicun III, very similar to Terrans. A strange mixture of hedonistic sexuality and puritanical respect for a draconian legal code. In the distant past, the Edo were a lawless and chaotic people, through time they developed a legal system where a small number of "mediators" patrol randomly selected "punishment zones" where any infraction, even if accidental, results in immediate execution without appeal. Since the "punishment zones" are randomly chosen and rapidly changing, the system is a powerful incentive to obey all laws. The Edo welcome visitors openly as long as they conform to their system of justice. The Edo may be a transplanted race since they are governed by a transdimensional craft that the Edo worship as their god. ("Justice" [TNG]).
Edo god.: ("Justice" [TNG]).
Edoans.: Humanoid species, inhabitants of Edos. The Edoans are tripodal, with three legs, three arms, and three fingers on each hand, and a reddish complexion. Edoans are quite long-lived, and it is highly unusual for there to be more than one child per family. The population must be kept down due to the longer life factor. As a result, all children are precious, and families are close. Ancestral records are kept in great detail, dating back for centuries. Edoans play a flute-like instrument called a sessica. While the music may be lively or romantic or plaintive, all of it relates to story-songs which tell the history of the race or families. SEE: Arex. ([TAS]).
Edos.: Planet in the Epsilon Minora system, home of the Edoans. Edos is not a member of the Federation. Rather, it remains in loose alliance with the Federation, coming under its agreements for trade, science, and aid in an emergency. Edos lies in the Triangulum constellation, on the rim of the galaxy. It is a jumping off point for science teams studying the great energy barrier beyond the rim. It is also a peaceful planet which has never been involved in a war. The technology is as advanced as Earth's; the architectural style of its cities is strictly functional rather than esthetically pleasing. The society has no class levels, all beings on Edos are equal. Since Edos is within Federation space, it is home of an office of Starfleet Intelligence Sector One. (Star Fleet Intelligence--Agent's Orientation Sourcebook [FASA RPG]).
Edrich.: Commodore at Starfleet Command in 2370. ("Crossover" [Pocket TNG HC #6]).
Edwin.: ("Red Sector" [Pocket TNG #53]).

Eienven.: Space vessel that participated in the 2260s Great Starship Race, an Andorian starship commanded by Thais. ("The Great Starship Race" [Pocket TOS #67]).
Einstein, Albert.: 20th century Terran scientist. ("The nth Degree" [TNG #93]; "Descent" [TNG #152&153]; "Present Tense" [Pocket TOS Janus Gate #1]).
872 Trianguli.: Star system in Romulan space. ("The Pandora Principle" [Pocket TOS #49]).
872 Trianguli V.: Planet, also known as Hellguard. ("The Pandora Principle" [Pocket TOS #49]).
Ekina.: Transport vessel.
Ek'noor Aqabaa, Pava.: Andorian Starfleet cadet, class of 2376, who was a member of Omega Squadron. ("Prime Directive" [Marvel SA #1]).
Ekoria.: Teplan Female. First person to be successfully administered with the Bashir vaccine. Her new-born baby was born without the blight shortly before her death. ("The Quickening" [DS9]). Played by Ellen Wheeler.
Ekosians.: Humanoid species from Ekos in the M43 Alpha system. The parent race of the Zeon race on the outermost world in their system. In violation of the Prime Directive, an undercover Federation cultural specialist altered the Ekosian culture in 2268 to mimic the 1930's Terran culture of Nazi Germany. Dr. John Gill hoped to replicate the efficency and order of the Nazi regime but without the hate and cruelty. The attempt failed when the Ekosian culture. Only further Federation intervention stopped this potential mass murder. The Ekosians are almost indistinguishable from Terrans. ("Patterns of Force" [TOS]).
Elasians.: Humanoid race from the Tellun star system with a reputation for being vicious and arrogant. Concluded a long interplanetary war a century ago and have a since become Federation members. Their technology has come from primitive limited interplanetary travel during the war to moderate interstellar capability. Elasian males are often well over 2 meters tall and their females have a unique neurochemical drug in their tears that makes humanoid males obey their will. ("Elaan of Troyius" [TOS]).
Elaysians.: Unique race of humanoids from Elaysia II. Elaysians are mostly humanoid with two exceptions. The very low gravity of their homeworld has caused an atmosphere that is more akin to pre-terraform Mars than of a class M world. This has created difficulty in there assimilation into the galactic culture, since no other humanoid race is as accustomed to low gravity as them. There physiology is very different also in that they require only .16% oxygen in a standard pressure enviroment, and the remainder of their energy comes from anaerobic reaction in their cells. Despite these unique biological differences, Elaysians eat the same food and look quite similar to other hominids. They require the use of a limited motor support exoskeleton for living in a standard class M enviroment. They also cannot interbreed with other humanoid races because of these differences however. The Elaysians have been members of the Federation for almost a century however, but few travel offworld because of the difficulties entailed. ("Melora" [DS9]).

Elkins, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-74121. The Elkins was one of the vessels that fought in the Dominion War. (Technical Manual [DS9]). A photo of this ship reveals it is comprised of a modified Intrepid model with Constitution refit nacelles, Danube runabout nacelle pylons and, shockingly enough, either a backwards Star Wars A-Wing or an F-16 as the secondary hull. The ship was apparently named for DS9 staffer Judy Elkins, and used in background fleet scenes during Dominion War story arcs. This photo is a corrected modification of the Technical Manual picture, edited by Bernd Schneider of Ex Astris Scientia.
Ella.: Malon girl, the daughter of Stvoran and Marssi. ("Demons of Air and Darkness" [Pocket Gateways #4]).
Ellia.: ("No Man's Land" [Pocket VGR Gateways #5]).
Elohim, 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-1792, according to the manuals.
Ellis, Walter.: Lieutenant commander and chief of security aboard the USS Zimbabwe. He earned 3 citations for bravery, and the Starfleet Distinguished Service Medal for his actions during the Kaylar-revolt on planet Rigel VII. ("Judgment Rites" [Interplay TOS]).

Elysia.: ("Metamorphosis" [Pocket TNG Giant #1]).
Emden, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-1856. The Emden was located near Klingon space in 2293 and was part of a planned commando mission called Operation: Retrieve to rescue political prisoners Kirk and McCoy from Rura Penthe within Klingon space. The mission failed to receive the go-ahead from President Ra-ghoratrei. ("The Undiscovered Country" [Movie #6]). The class and type of this ship is unspecified, it appeared in a background chart.
Emick, Walter.: Captain of the starship Intrepid in 2376. ("Demons of Air and Darkness" [Pocket Gateways #4]).
emissary.: Prophesied figure in the Bajoran faith. It was foretold that the emissary would come to Bajor from another world, and then meet the Prophets and impart their teachings upon the Bajora. It was told the emissary would be a non-believer and would save the planet from its greatest cataclysm. In 2369 Benjamin Sisko became the first corporeal being to contact the Prophets return from the Celestial Temple, which is known to science as the Bajoran wormhole. ("Emissary" [DS9 #1&2]).
Empela.: Dabo girl at Quark's in late 2373. ("In the Pale Moonlight" [DS9]).
Empok Nor.: Cardassian space station, identical in design to Deep Space Nine. ("Empok Nor" [DS9]).
