H SECTION 2: Hd through He.

HD-25 maintenance unit.: Holographic technician used aboard Serosian spacecraft in the Delta Quadrant. Dejaren was an HD-25 maintenance unit. ("Revulsion [VGR]).
heading.: In celestial navigation, a mathematical expression describing a direction with relationship to the center of the galaxy. A heading is composed of two numbers measuring an azimuth value and an elevation value in degrees. A heading of 000, mark 0 describes a direction toward the geometric center of the galaxy. In terms of navigation on a planet's surface, this is analogous to describing a direction in degrees from north, in which case a course of 5 degrees would be slightly to the right of a direction directly toward the planet's north pole. A heading differs from a bearing in that is has no relationship to the current attitude or orientation of the spacecraft. (Technical Manual [Pocket TNG; Sternbach & Okuda]).
Health and Safety Inspection.: Starfleet procedure used to assure that spacecraft in Federation jurisdiction maintained adequate conditions for crew and passengers. The Federation treaty with the Klingons provided for such inspection of Klingon vessels operating in Federation space. The Enterprise-D personnel used this clause as an excuse to detain and search a Toron-class shuttlecraft piloted by Koral in 2370. ("Gambit" [TNG]).
heart of targ.: Traditional Klingon dish. Commander Riker tasted some of this when he tried to acquaint himself with Klingon culture prior to his temporary assignment to the Pagh in 2365. ("A Matter of Honor" [TNG]).
heater.: Slang term on planet Sigma Iotia II for a firearm. ("A Piece of the Action" [TOS]).
heavy graviton beam.: A directed energy weapon considered for possible use against the Borg during the Borg offensive of 2367. The idea was abandoned when it was determined that local field distortion generation would be ineffective against Borg defenses. ("The Best of Both Worlds" [TNG]).; Klingon phrase meaning "set course," as in to set a ship's course. ("Unification" [TNG]).
Hedford, Nancy.: Assistant Federation Commissioner who was assigned to mediate a peace agreement on planet Epsilon Canaris III in 2267 in an effort to avert an impending war. Hedford was forced to leave the negotiations prematurely when she contracted deadly Sakuro's disease. Commissioner Hedford died aboard the shuttlecraft Galileo while being transported to the Enterprise. Her body and mind was preserved, merged with the life-form known as the Companion, on a planetoid in the Gamma Canaris region, where she found love with noted scientist Zefram Cochrane. The crew that left her there did so with the promise that the Federation would never be informed of either of their true fates. ("Metamorphosis" [TOS]). Played by Elinor Donahue.
Hedrikspool.: Province on Bajor. DS9 Deputy Setrin’s family lived there at the time of her death. ([Pocket DS9]).
Hedril.: Young Cairn child and daughter of Maques, who visited the Enterprise-D in 2370 as part of a diplomatic mission. Hedril reminded Ambassador Lwaxana Troi of her deceased daughter, Kestra, triggering the release of painful memories that Troi had suppressed for years. ("Dark Page [TNG]). Played by Kirsten Dunst, who appeared in metaconscious sequences playing the role of Kestra but without Cairn makeup. Star Trek being one of her earliest acting appearances, Dunst would later go on to appear in many popular films, such as Interview with the Vampire.
Hegh'bat.: Literally translated as "The Time to Die," the Hegh'bat ceremony was a Klingon ritualized suicide. Klingon tradition held that when a Klingon was unable to stand and face his enemies, he should choose the Hegh'bat. The rite called for the eldest son of the celebrant, or a trusted friend, to deliver a ritual knife to the warrior, who would impale himself in the chest. The son or friend would then remove the knife and wipe it on his sleeve. Following a severe spinal injury in 2368, Lieutenant Worf considered the Hegh'bat, but was dissuaded from completing the ritual when offered the alternative of genetronic replication therapy. ("Ethics" [TNG]).
Hegh-Duj.: Klingon term, meaning "death ship." Worf exclaimed this upon boarding a plaque infested ship of Maquis expatriates. ("The Cancer Within" [Marvel DS9 #3&4]).
Hegh'ta, I.K.S.: Klingon bird-of-prey, commanded by Kurn. The ship was used in support of the Gowron regime during the Klingon civil war of 2367-2368. Worf served briefly aboard the Hegh'ta as tactical officer during that conflict. ("Redemption" [TNG]).
Heidi.: Space vessel that took part in the Belle Terre expedition in the 2270s. ("Wagon Train to the Stars" [Pocket New Earth #1]).
Heifetz, Jascha.: (1901-1987). Famous concert violinist. Data programmed himself to emulate Heifetz's performance style. ("Sarek [TNG]).
Heihachiro Nogura, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Decker-class heavy destroyer, Starfleet registry NCC-6032. (Officer's Manual [FASA TNG RPG]).
Heinlein, Robert A.: (1907-1988). Twentieth century Terran novelist. Heinlein was sometimes known as the "dean of science fiction" for his role in developing the genre as a sophisticated mode of literary expression. Heinlein's works include such stories as The Puppet Masters, first published in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine. Herbert Rossoff felt he would be in good company if his stories were published alongside those of Heinlein. ("Far Beyond the Stars [DS9]). Many students of science fiction have regarded Heinlein's works as being a significant influence on Gene Roddenberry's development of the original Star Trek television series.
Heisenberg, U.S.S.: Federation starship, built under the auspices of Project Sign. The Heisenberg is commanded by Captain Hu-Linn Radisson, and is a top secret base of operations for Project Sign. No record of this vessel's existence is recorded in any Starfleet database. This vessel is named for scientist Werner Heisenberg. ("Preserver" [Pocket TOS]).
Heisenberg compensators.: Component of a transporter system, designed to permit the derivation of precision vector and positional data of particles on a subatomic level. Picard suggested disengaging the Heisenberg compensators as a possible means of giving physical reality to the computer intelligence version of Professor James Moriarty, but it was a ruse to buy time. ("Realm of Fear" [TNG]; "Ship in a Bottle" [TNG]). Werner Heisenberg's "uncertainty principle" suggests that on a subatomic level, it is possible to know the motion or the position of a particle, but not both. Some scientists have suggested this basic characteristic of matter may make it impossible for a transporter as seen on Star Trek to work, so Mike Okuda suggested the "Heisenberg compensator" as a bit of a scientific gag to "explain" how the transporter does it anyway. No, he doesn't have any idea how it would work.
Hekarans.: Humanoid inhabitants of Hekaras II. ("Force of Nature" [TNG]).
Hekaras II.: Class-M planet, a Federation member. Located in the Hekaras Corridor, Hekaras II was the only inhabited planet in the region. In the late 2360s, two Hekaran scientists discovered that the region of space near their planet was very susceptible to warp field effect. They tried to persuade the Federation Council and their own people to avoid the use of warp travel in the area, even though it would mean the almost total isolation of their planet. It was not until 2370, following the formation of a subspace rift in the Corridor, that the scientists' theories were believed. Unfortunately, due to the gravitational shifts following the formation of the rift, the climate of Hekaras II began to change. As a short-term measure, Starfleet was able to assist the Hekarans with a weather control matrix. ("Force of Nature" [TNG]).
Hekaras Corridor.: Region of space, approximately 12 light-years long, near the Hekaran system that was commonly used for interstellar travel. Much of the surrounding areas are saturated with unusually intense tetryon fields, so the Hekaras Corridor provided the only means of safe passage for starships. In 2366, two Hekaran scientists, Serova and Rabal, submitted a preliminary report to the Federation Science Council, theorizing that the Hekaras Corridor was stressed by warp fields and would soon develop a rupture. They further theorized that, if warp drive usage continued at its present rate, the ruptures would spread throughout inhabited space. At the time, the Council found their theories lacking sufficient proof. In 2370, Rabal and Serova booby-trapped the Corridor with verteron mines, in order to gain the attention of Starfleet. When the Enterprise-D was disabled by one of these mines, Captain Jean-Luc Picard agreed to listen to Serova's theory, and found it to be worthy of resubmission to the Science Council. Unsatisfied with his response, Serova caused a warp core breach aboard her ship, causing a subspace rupture in the Corridor, just as she had predicted. Thereafter, the Federation Council ordered the Corridor limited to essential travel only, in order to slow any further damage to the region. The Council further ordered Federation ships throughout the galaxy to restrict their maximum speed to warp 4.7. ("Force of Nature" [TNG]). The Enterprise-D and other ships observed the "warp speed limit" for the remainder of Star Trek: The Next Generation. After that, it was assumed that Starfleet was able to develop a more "environmentally friendly" warp drive, so the speed limit was evidently lifted.
Hektor, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Cochise-class destroyer, Starfleet registry NCC-539. (Star Fleet Technical Manual [Franz Joseph]).
Helaspont Nebula.: Astronomical cloud containing numerous protoplanetary masses. In 2371, the U.S.S. Ulysses commanded by Captain Entebe studied the Helaspont Nebula. ("The Adversary" [DS9]).
Helen of Troy.: Terran mytho-historical figure. ("The Legacy of Lazarus" [Gold Key TOS #9]).
Heler: Heler was a prisoner on the Cardassian ship Ravinok in 2366 when it was attacked by the Breen and forced to land on Dozaria. Heler survived the crash and was forced to labor in the Breen dilithium mines on Dozaria. He and several other crash survivors were rescued by Kira Nerys and Gul Dukat in 2372. ("Indiscretion [DS9]). Played by Thomas Prisco.
Helewa, Isam: Master of meditation and breathing techniques. He was a mentor to Dr. Julian Bashir, during Bashir's college years. ("Crossover" [DS9]).
helium fusion enhancement.: Theoretical technique that would increase the energy output of a dying star by increasing the temperature and pressure inside the star so that the star begins helium fusion, thus increasing its useful life. A test of this technique, designed by Dr. Timicin of planet Kaelon II in 2367, used shock waves from a carefully controlled series of photon torpedo explosions to create zones of elevated pressure where helium ignition could occur. Timicin tested the process in 2367, but the test was a dramatic failure, causing a red giant star to go supernova. Further work was required, but the elderly Timicin returned to his homeworld for his Resolution, hoping that others would continue his research. ("Half a Life" [TNG]).
Hellguard.: Fifth planet in the 872 Trianguli star system, an abandoned Romulan military outpost. Romulan soldiers assigned there nicknamed the settlement thieurrul, which became the planet's name, and translates as "hellguard." ("The Pandora Principle" [Pocket TOS #49]).
Helin, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-1692. Named for astronomer Eleanor Helin. A scientific survey ship, the Helin was assigned Neutral Zone patrol in sector 21290 in 2293. ("The Undiscovered Country" [Movie #6]). The Helin’s information is taken from a starship mission assignment list displayed on Enterprise computer screens in Star Trek VI. Judging by the registry number, the ship could be a Constitution-class vessel, but this is pure speculation, and no such information is presented in the film.
Helios, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-1825. (Star Fleet Technical Manual [Franz Joseph TOS]). The Helios was supposedly built as a Tikopai-class vessel.
Helios, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-2754. (Federation Starship Recognition Manual [FASA TOS RPG]). The text indicated this might have been built as a Loknar-class frigate.
helm.: Aboard a starship, the control station and officer responsible for actually piloting the ship. The helm officer was also called a helmsman. In some starships, this function was merged with the duties of the navigator, and dubbed conn, or flight controller. Mr. Sulu was the helmsman aboard the Enterprise during the original Star Trek series. The terms helm and helmsman were replaced with conn at the beginning of Star Trek: The Next Generation. An oddity is that the flight control station on Captain Archer's Enterprise NX-01, is too similar to the much later 24th century starship, it lacks a navigation station like its descendant the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. This could possibly be explained that, in the older era of the pre-Federation ship, the navigation was much more complicated and required course plotters who worked at the map board or belowdecks.
Helmes, Joshua.: Commander of Starbase 7 in 2287. Helmes, an old friend of Scotty, had served on starships, but was placed on base duty because Helmes lost his first command, a small scout, due to a series of elementary mistakes. The bitter Helmes later used his base commander position to expedite a drug smuggling ring until apprehended when four murders occured while Scott was on shore leave. ("Rest & Recreation" [DC TOS vol.2 #18]).
helmsman.: Crewperson aboard a starship responible for piloting the vessel. SEE: helm.
hematological scan.: Medical diagnostic study of a patient's blood factors. ("Mortal Coil" [VGR]).
Helsinki, S.S.: Terran spaceship of the DY-400 class. (DY Series Comparison Chart).
Hemikek IV: Class-M planet in a yellow dwarf system in the Delta Quadrant. Hemikek was rich in minerals, and the mining rights on the planet belonged to a consortium of nonaggressive people. In 2372, Michael Jonas sabotaged Voyager's magnetic constrictors so that they would be forced to vent plasma, severely damaging the inner layer of the warp coils. This damage was designed to force Voyager to visit Hemikek, where Kazon forces were lying in ambush. Later that year, Seska told Michael Jonas that the Kazon-Nistrim would rendezvous at Hemikek IV once Voyager was destroyed. ("Investigations" [VGR]; "Lifesigns" [VGR]).
Hemingway, U.S.S.: Federation starship, named for renowned Terran author Ernest Hemingway. The Hemingway towed the severely damaged U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E to spacedock following its battle with the Reman warbird Scimitar in the Bassen Rift in late 2378. ("Nemesis" [Movie #10]). Hemingway's (1899-1961) works include The Sun Also Rises and The Old Man and the Sea. The dialogue mentioning the Hemingway was in the Nemesis script, but was cut from the theatrical release of the film.
hemoatrophia.: Medical condition. In an alternate timeframe, Captain Spock of the V.S.S. ShiKahr noted that a young female Rigelian on his ship was recovering from hemoatrophia in the sickbay. ("Killing Time" [Pocket TOS #24]).
hemocythemia.: Medical condition in which intercellular pressures are unstable. This condition was also called hemocythemic imbalance and could be treated with osmotic pressure therapy. ("Deadlock" [VGR]).
Henard.: Crewperson aboard the starship Voyager. ("State of Flux" [VGR]).
Hencke, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-3847. (Star Fleet Technical Manual [Franz Joseph TOS]). This vessel's construction was proposed as a Doppler-class transport.
Henderson, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-3914. (Star Fleet Technical Manual [Franz Joseph TOS]). This vessel's construction was proposed as a Dollond-class transport.
Hendorff.: Starfleet security crewperson assigned to the starship Enterprise crew member. Hendorff was killed by a poisonous plant on planet Gamma Trianguli VI in 2267. ("The Apple [TOS]). Played by Mal Friedman. He was killed because he wore a red shirt. He should have known better.
Hendrick.: Transporter crewperson aboard the starship Enterprise-D. Hendrick was on duty when the transformed Commander La Forge beamed down to the surface of Tarchannen III in 2367. La Forge overpowered Hendrick, and he was unable to stop the transport. ("Identity Crisis [TNG]). Played by Dennis "Danger" Madalone, stunt coordinator for Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager. He has been seen as a variety of security guards and other victims of mayhem.
Hendricks.: Starfleet admiral. ("Friendship One" [VGR]). Played by Peter Dennis.
Hengist.: Originally a resident of Rigel IV, later employed as a city administrator on planet Argelius II. Hengist's body was possessed by an evil energy life-form that thrived on the emotion of terror and was responsible for several brutal murders. This entity, which traveled to Argelius II in Hengist's body, was also known as Redjac, Beratis, Kesla, and Jack the Ripper. ("Wolf in the Fold [TOS]). Played by John Fiedler.
Henley, Mariah.: Maquis resistance fighter who joined the crew of Voyager. During the first few weeks after the ship was lost in the Delta Quadrant in 2371, Henley became regarded as undisciplined. Accordingly, Henley was among several Maquis crew members assigned to Lieutenant Tuvok for field training. ("Learning Curve" [VGR]). Played by Catherine MacNeal. Henley's first name was not mentioned in dialog but is from the script.
Henley, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Wilkerson-class destroyer. The Henley was destroyed in a docking collision with the starship Carmichael. (Federation Starship Recognition Manual [FASA TOS RPG]). The Wilkerson-class schematic shown I created for http://captainmike.org. Please reuse only with a link back to my site.
Hennesey.: Crewperson aboard the starship Enterprise-D. Henessey suffered from Andronesian encephalitis in 2365 and was treated by Dr. Kate Pulaski. The shape-shifting allasomorph Anya wanted to kill Hennesey because she considered his illness a threat for her protege Salia. ("The Dauphin" [TNG]).
Henoch.: One of three advanced beings who survived a devastating war that destroyed the planet Arret 500,000 years prior. Enterprise personnel discovered Henoch and the other two survivors in 2268, their consciousness having been encased in receptacles stored in an underground vault. Upon Henoch's revival, Spock allowed Henoch's intellect to borrow Spock's body so that Henoch could construct android bodies for the survivors. Henoch was, however, unable to leave behind his old hatreds, and tried to destroy Sargon and Thalassa before being destroyed himself. ("Return to Tomorrow" [TOS]).
Henry, Thomas.: Vice-admiral assigned to Starfleet security. Henry visited the Enterprise-D in 2367, while Admiral Norah Satie was conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding an explosion in the ship's engine room. Satie suspected the explosion to be evidence of a serious security breach. Henry ordered Satie's inquest discontinued after determining that her investigation was proceeding without probable cause and was therefore in violation of the Federation Constitution's Seventh Guarantee against self-incrimination. ("The Drumhead" [TNG]). Played by Earl Billings.
Henry V.: Classic drama written by William Shakespeare on Earth. A holographic performance of the play was available on the Enterprise-D holodeck. In this simulation, the holodeck participant could perform one of the roles. Data chose this play as part of his ongoing study of the human condition. ("The Defector" [TNG]). Patrick Stewart, a former member of the Royal Shakespearean Company, played the holographic image of Michael Williams, a character in the drama.
Henshaw, Christy.: Resident aboard the starship Enterprise-D. Henshaw and Geordi La Forge had a date on the holodeck just prior to the discovery of the Promellian cruiser Cleponji in 2366. Although La Forge put a lot of effort into making the holodeck program a romantic experience, Christie eventually told him that she didn't feel "that way" about him. Later that year, when Geordi's self-confidence was improved after his neurolink with John Doe, Christie found Geordi much more attractive. ("Booby Trap" [TNG]; "Transfigurations" [TNG]). Played by Julie Warner.
hentas.: Measurement of distance used by the Malons. ("Demons of Air and Darkness" [Pocket DS9 Gateways]).
Hephaestans.: Nonaligned race of sentient humanoid simians native to the planet Hephaestus in the Kyros star system. The Hephaestans are the operators of one of the quadrant's most popular recreational spa facility. An interesting note of the Hephaestan species is that they supplement their intelligence privately with implanted bio-neural chips which give them great intellectual ability greater than they are naturally born with. This ability was very nearly destroyed when a rogue Klingon commander nearly crippled the industry which creates these computer ships in the early 2270s. ("All the Infinite Ways" [Marvel TOS #13]).
Hephaestus.: Nonaligned paanet located in the Kyros star system, home to an intelligent race of simian humanoids. Hephaestus in known throughout the quadrant for its superb recreational facilities and spas, making it a favored vacation spot for Federation and also non-aligned citizens. In the early 2270s Admiral Kirk of the Enterprise jourrneyed to Hephaestus to negotiate mining rights with the planets leaders. ("All the Infinite Ways" [Marvel TOS #13]).
Hephaestus, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-26294. (Federation Starship Recognition Manual [FASA TOS RPG]). The text indicated this might have been built as a Miranda-class vessel (of the same type as the Reliant).
Hera, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-26297. (Federation Starship Recognition Manual [FASA TOS RPG]). The text indicated this might have been built as a Miranda-class vessel (of the same type as the Reliant).
Hera, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Nebula-class cruiser, Starfleet registry NCC-62006. Second Federation starship known to bear the name. Commanded by Captain Silva La Forge. The Hera had a crew of 300, most of whom were Vulcan. The ship disappeared without a trace in 2370. Captain Silva La Forge was the mother of Enterprise-D engineer Geordi La Forge. Named for the Greek goddess Hera, wife of Zeus and queen of the gods. ("Interface" [TNG]).
herbal tea.: Hot Terran beverage made from aromatic plants such as chamomile. ("Unforgettable" [VGR]).
Herbeck.: Starfleet 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.
Herbert.: Starfleet ensign assigned to the starship Enterprise-D. He served as transporter operator during the investigation of Dr. Paul Manheim's laboratory on planetoid Vandor IV. (""We'll Always Have Paris" [TNG]; "The Icarus Factor" [TNG]). Played by Lance Spellerberg.
Herbert.: Derogatory term taken from a minor government official known for his rigid patterns of thought. Dr. Sevrin's followers were very fond of calling Captain Kirk by that name. ("The Way to Eden" [TOS]).
Here's to the Losers.mp3 sinatra: Popular 20th century Earth musical composition that spoke of the challenges of attracting a suitable mate in humanoid society. The song was performed by such entertainers as Vic Fontaine and Frank Sinatra. The holographic recreation of Fontaine sang it to Julian Bashir and Quark when the two were commiserating over their failure to win the romantic attentions of Jadzia Dax. ("Tears of the Prophets" [DS9]).
heresy.: In some repressive societies, heresy is the crime of holding or expressing beliefs that might tend to challenge the authority of the established power structure in that society. In such societies, prosecution of heresy can be a means of silencing those who hold beliefs that those in power find objectionable. ("Distant Origin" [VGR]).
Hermats.: Technologically sophisticated civilization of humanoids of which Burgoyne-172 is a member. Hermats generally tend to keep to themselves, and they have tended to segregate themselves from the rest of the Federation. Hermat individuals are possessed of two sexes, and each has fully functioning male and female capabilities. Physically Hermats look much like a cross between a male and a female human. Also, Hermats have somewhat larger foreheads, slightly sharpened canine teeth, and very dark eyes. Hermats posses physical strength about two and a half times human norm. Because of their bi-gendered natures, special pronouns and honorifics are used when referring to members of species possessed of both sexes such as the Hermats. ("Into the Void" [Pocket NF #2]) SEE: hir, hirself, hish, s/he, Shir.

Hermes-class.: Type of Federation starship, a class one scout, 242.5 meters in overall length with a dead weight tonnage of 94,500 metric tons, lightly armed with 2 phaser banks and able to sustain a maximum safe cruising speed of warp factor 6, with a standard crew complement of 195. The Hermes’ outward configuration was largely identical to that of the Saladin-class destroyers. ("The Wrath of Khan" [Movie #2]; Star Fleet Technical Manual [Franz Joseph]). The Hermes-class is externally indistinguishable from its sister class, the Saladin destroyer, except that the Hermes scout lacks the extra weapons ports of the Saladin. Both these vessels were designed by Franz Joseph for his 1975 Star Fleet Technical Manual, although a more advanced and detailed scematic was published by Todd Guenther. The Hermes schematic on this entry was drawn by Harry Doddema of Titan Fleet Yards, please do not reuse without his link and reading his permission.
Hermes, U.S.S.: Federation starship, prototype for the Hermes-class, Starfleet registry NCC-585. Named for the messenger-god of ancient Greek mythology. (Star Fleet Technical Manual [Franz Joseph]).
Hermes, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-26285. Second Federation starship known to bear the name. (Federation Starship Recognition Manual [FASA TOS RPG]). The text indicated this might have been built as a Miranda-class vessel (of the same type as the Reliant), although I have omitted this from the body of the entry as I find lists of hundreds of vessels of the same type to be possibly apocryphal.
Hermes, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Antares-class, Starfleet registry NCC-10376. The third known starship to bear the name Hermes. The Hermes served in Picard's armada to blockade the Romulan supply ships supplying the Duras family forces during the Klingon civil war of 2367-2368. ("Redemption" [TNG]). This vessel's type and registry were identifiable on several computer displays seen throughout The Next Generation's fourth and fifth seasons. It is unclear whether the Antares-class this ship belongs to has anything to do with the non-Starfleet Antares-class vessels used by the Bajorans and other civilian and alien ships , or with the earlier Starfleet vessel of the name Antares.
Hermosa Quake.: Disastrous seismic event in 2047 on the coast of southern California near the city of Los Angeles on Earth. The quake caused most of the entire region around Hermosa to sink under 200 meters of water. The area became one of Earth's largest coral reefs, home to thousands of different marine species. ("Future's End" [VGR]).
Heron Bay, U.S.S.: Federation starhip, Durance-class, Starfleet registry NCC-251. (Durance-class Blueprints).
Herschell, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-3860. (Star Fleet Technical Manual [Franz Joseph TOS]). This vessel's construction was proposed as a Doppler-class transport.
Hertzsprung, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-3902. (Star Fleet Technical Manual [Franz Joseph TOS]). This vessel's construction was proposed as a Dollond-class transport.
Herz.: Thallonian man who was a guard at the royal palace in 2364. Herz was dismissed when Spock and Soleta escaped from the palace's dungeon. Herz resented Lord Si Cwan for getting him fired. Years later, Herz was employed by the new rulers of Thallon who took power after the overthrow of the monarchy. ("Endgame" [Pocket NF #4]).
Hesperan thumping cough.: A flu-like affliction. Wesley Crusher noted that the effects of a virus he contracted on Quazulu VIII were worse than Hesperan thumping cough. ("Angel One" [TNG]).
Hester, Janet: 21st century scientist. Janet Hester was among the forerunners in the experimental field of biological matter transportation. Her attempts to create new forms of teleportation were considered dangerous, and halted by authorities. Hester faked her own death and, along with several colleagues, relocated to a secret laboratory on the planetoid Mycena in 2198. After 53 years in hiding, a distress call from Hester was received by the starship Endeavour in 2251. The 89 year old scientist, the sole survivor of the scientist population due to severe teleportation accidents, was taken aboard that vessel. Shortly thereafter, the crew began experiencing mind control, the victims of the disembodied subjects of Hester's experiments. Hester attempted to escape in a shuttle, crashing and dying in the ice near her laboaratories. ("Experiment in Vengeance" [Marvel TOS]).
Hester-Jones, Karen.: Science officer aboard the starship Enterprise in 2273, a zoologist. Lieutenant Hester-Jones had previously been involved in a personal relationship with Admiral Kirk, and blamed her attraction to him to the failure of her marriage. After a mission to the planetoid Mycena, Lt. Hester-Jones requested reassignment. ("Experiment in Vengeance" [Marvel TOS]).
Hesterman.: Noted 21st century author. Hesterman's works included Beyond the Galactic Edge. A replica of Starfleet officer Valerie Archer created by Species 8472 in 2375 found Hesterman's works to offer insight into the human species. ("In the Flesh" [VGR]).
Hestia, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-26292. (Federation Starship Recognition Manual [FASA TOS RPG]). The text indicated this might have been built as a Miranda-class vessel (of the same type as the Reliant), although I have omitted this from the body of the entry as I find lists of hundreds of vessels of the same type to be possibly apocryphal.
hetman.: In the Xepolite culture, title given to a ship's commander. ("The Maquis" [DS9]).
heuristic subprocessor.: Data processing device used by Starfleet computing systems, such as those used to control a starship's dilithium articulation frame. ("One Little Ship" [DS9]).
Heva VII.: Planet in the Delta Quadrant, site of a refueling port. ("The Chute" [VGR]).
Hevelius, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Ptolemy-class transport, Starfleet registry NCC-3814. (Star Fleet Technical Manual [Franz Joseph TOS]).
hexadrin.: Medication used in the treatment of Yarim Fel syndrome. ("Ties of Blood and Water" [DS9]).
hexiprismatic field.: Energy type. Engineer Torres of Voyager used hexiprismatic energy to help determine the location of Suspiria, a sporocystian life-form. ("Cold Fire" [VGR]).
hezlat gateway.: One of the first types of gateways built by the Iconians, the hezlats were among the largest of them. ([Pocket DS9]).
