L-374.: Star system. In 2267 the starship Constellation was investigating planetary destruction associated with nearby systems and encountered the planet killer here. After a pitched battle, Commodore Decker ordered abandon ship, and was the last man aboard after his entire crew beamed down to the third planet. The planet-killer destroyed that world as well.

LaForge, Geordi.: Chief engineer of the starship Enterprise-E. Geordi's previous assignments include the starships Hood and Enterprise-D. Geordi is a human, or Terran descent, although he spent much of his young life traveling due to his parents careers. Edward LaForge is an exozoologist in Starfleet, and his mother was a command officer. He spent many years on alien worlds where his father studied lifeforms, or on Neutral Zone outposts his mother commanded. Geordi was born blind, with a dead optic nerve. As a child, he had an experimental device referred to as a VISOR, or visual instrument sight organ replacement implanted. It allowed him to see, albeit not the way average humans do.; In an alternate future timeline, Geordi was commanding officer of the starship Challenger in the year 2381.; In yet another alternate future, created by Q, Geordi retired from Starfleet and became a novelist . At a point some 20 years after the anti-timre anomaly in the Devran system, LaForge had married a woman named Leah and had three children.; ("Encounter at Farpoint" [TNG #1&2], et al.; "All Good Things" [TNG #177&178]; "Generations" [MOV #7]; "First Contact" [MOV #8]; "Insurrection" [MOV #9]; "Nemesis" [MOV #9]; "Timeless" [VGR #101]). Played by Levar Burton.
LaForge, Leah.: In an alternate anti-time created future, Leah was the wife of Geordi LaForge with whom they had three children. ("All Good Things..." [TNG #177&178]).

LaForge, Sydney.: In an alternate timeline of the future, one of the children of Geordi and Leah LaForge. ("All Good Things" [TNG]).
LaForge, Silva.: Starfleet captain, late of the starship Hera. Prior to her captaincy, LaForge had served as a commander in Neutral Zone outposts. ("Interface" [TNG]). Played by Madge Sinclair. Although the "Interface" script identified her as Silva, the biography screen in "Conundrum" [TNG] identified LaForge's mother as being named Alvera K. LaForge. Neither reference was explicitly specified dialogue, but most references refer to her as Silva.
Laheera.: Nelkarite woman who was military head and right arm to Governor Celter. She commanded a ship that came upon the Excalibur while it was rendering aid to the Cambon. She opened fire on the Excalibur thinking that it was plundering the transport ship. Laheera offered to transport the 48 refugees to her planet, but Captain Calhoun took on that task himself.

("Demons of Air and Darkness" [Pocket Gateways #4]).
Landaker, Ellis: Starfleet commander, a professor of military history at Starfleet Academy. (Star Fleet Intelligence--Agent's Orientation Sourcebook [FASA RPG]). We don't know the time period of his tenure, just that he submitted essays for the Intelligence Agent's book.

landing struts.: ("The 37's" [VGR #20]).
Landon, Martha.: Yeoman on the starship Enterprise. Landon was one of the crewmen who beamed down to Gamma Trianguli VII. ("The Apple" [TOS #38]). Played by Celeste Yarnall.
Lang, Natima.: Cardassian woman, a professor of political ethics. Lang once worked for the Cardassian Communications Service on Bajor, and became romantically involved with Quark in 2363, after she was impressed by his selling food to the impoverished Bajorans. However, she left him when he stole from her employers using her access codes. In 2370, Professor Lang came to Deep Space 9 with Rekelen and Hogue, who were part of an underground resistance. Quark offered to aid the fugitives in exchange for Natima staying with him. Then Natima and her students were arrested, and set to be exchanged for Bajoran prisoners.

Lar'Tok.: Late planetary leader of the New Ketirans. Lartok died in 2289. ("Homeworld" [DC TOS vol.2 Annual #3]).
Lasaran.: Cardassian glinn, an operative who had been passing information on the Dominion and Cardassians to Starfleet. When Worf and Dax were sent to contact him, Lasaran told them he had been transferred to Soukara, and planned to defect; he said he had vital information such as the number and placement of Founders in the Alpha Quadrant. However, when Worf and Dax failed to show up at the appointed rendezvous spot, Lasaran tried to re-enter the Dominion base, and was killed. ("Change of Heart" [DS9]). Played by Todd Waring.
laser.: Acronym. ("The Cage" [TOS unaired pilot]). After the pilot episodes were filmed it was decided that, since lasers were real technology, it would be more advantageous to refer to the weapons with a new name to explain their properties, as yet unknown to science. The term phasers was then invented, although since the hand lasers and cannons used vary greatly from what we know about lasers today, it can be assumed they operated along principles that we do not yet have a grasp of, leading up to the more advanced phaser technology.
Laserton North.: Location on Luna, the Moon of Terra. This settlement contains Starfleet Intelligence's office of training publications. (Star Fleet Intelligence--Agent's Orientation Sourcebook [FASA RPG]).
Latara.: Young Bajoran woman who came with her newly-wedded husband to Sisko for the Emissary's blessing. ("Accession" [DS9]). Played by Grace Zandarski.
Latha Mabrin.: Bajoran vedek, former member of the Shakaar resistance cell, who built the plasma charge that Kira used to bomb the house of Gul Pirak. Latha had renounced violence and entered a religious order; Kira hadn't spoken to him since 2371. In 2373, Latha was conducting a religious ceremony when a small hunter probe hidden in a candle fired a disruptor blast, killing him. ("The Darkness and the Light" [DS9]). Played by Matt Roe.
Latimer.: ("The Galileo Seven" [TOS #13]). Played by Reese Vaughn.
Lawton, Tina.: ("Charlie X" [TOS #7]). Played by Patricia McNulty.
Lazarus.: ("The Alternative Factor" [TOS #20]).
Lazarus, Alexander.: Federation historian of minor repute. Lazarus was humiliated among his colleagues when a device he developed to tune to the thoughts of long dead historical figures failed, causing him to be branded a crackpot. Lazarus left the Federation and along the way discovered a series of androids to act as his assistants. He recreated his Psi-Clone machine on Gamma Alpha V after finding a large cache of alien replicant technology, using a large siver spire as the antenna for the brainwaves. One day an accident imbued one of his mechanical assistants with the personality and appearance of Benjamin Franklin, prompting Lazarus to populate the entire planet with famous figures from Earth history. Lazarus and his city were destroyed in an accident in 2264 when he tried to capture the crew of the starship Enterprise. ("The Legacy of Lazarus" [Gold Key TOS #9]).
LB 10445.: ("Time's Arrow" [TNG #126&127]).
LCARS.: Acronym for library computer access and retrieval system. This is the standard operating system aboard Federation starships in the 24th century.("Encounter at Farpoint" [TNG #1&2]).
Leedson, Stephen: Starfleet captain, commanding officer of the starship Hornet. In the 2260s, Leedson was directly answerable to Admiral Vaughan Rittenhouse, and was one of the 'loyal' officers he called to his side during his attempted coup during the Star Empire incident. After Rittenhouse's death aboard the destroyer Pompeii, Leedson surrendered his vessel to James Kirk of the Enterprise. ("Dreadnought!" [Pocket TOS #29]).
Leeta.: Bajoran Dabo girl who worked for Quark. In 2371 she introduced herself to Bashir, pretending to have a cough; she also met Dax, who became her close friend. Leeta acted as host to Emony during Dax's zhian'tara. Leeta participated in the strike against Quark in that year. Leeta had a relationship with Bashir that lasted almost two years, until they decided to break up, and went to Risa to enact the Rite of Separation. Leeta told Bashir and Quark that she had her eye on Rom. For some time she waited for Rom to make a move, but he was too shy. Finally, she considered an offer from Dr. Lewis Zimmerman (who was interested in her) to manage a cafe at the Jupiter Research Station, but happily chose to stay on DS9 when Rom at last declared his feelings. Leeta and Rom became engaged, but their plans hit a snag when Rom wanted her to sign a Waiver of Property and Profit. Leeta refused, and the wedding was off, until Rom told her he had given away his money, and therefore had no assets to protect. The two were married just before the station was taken by the Dominion; Leeta was evacuated to Bajor, but later returned. When Rom was imprisoned, Leeta promised Quark to work without wages for two years if Quark freed her husband. Later, she was held with Kira, Rom, and Jake on suspicion of having aided Rom's act of "terrorism", but they were freed by Quark and Ziyal. She was present when Rom was named Zek's successor as Grand Nagus, and went to live with him on Ferenginar. Leeta considers herself an amateur sociologist. ("Explorers" [DS9]; "Facets" [DS9]; "Bar Association" [DS9]; "Let He Who is Without Sin..."

Lee, U.S.S.: Federation starship. Moves-With-Burning-Grace served as an engineer on this ship prior to his service on the Enterprise. ("Flesh of My Flesh" [Marvel EV #1]).
Lefler, Morgan.: SEE: Primus, Morgan, Number One. ("Fire on High" [Pocket NF #6]). Played by Majel Barrett-Roddenberry (billed as M. Leigh Hudec). Morgan Primus was mistakenly referred to as Morgan Lefler in Jerry Oltion's novel "Where Sea Meets Sky."
Lefler, Robin.: Starfleet lieutenant, operations officer aboard the starship Excalibur-A under the command of Captain Mackenzie Calhoun. Lefler's previous assignments include tours on the starships Enterprise-D and Excalibur. ("Darmok" [TNG]; "The Game" [TNG]; "Into the Void" [Pocket NF #2]). Played by Ashley Judd.
Lefler's Laws: Series of 125 colloquialisms collected by Robin Lefler. She said her laws were her way of remembering essential information. Wesley Crusher suggested the 103rd law. ("The Game" [TNG #106]; "Fire on High" [Pocket NF #6]).; Selected Examples of Lefler's Laws:
Legarans.: Sentient species, a reclusive race of gastropods. They generally require a viscous organic fluid enviroment for movement and nourishment. Because of this, they rarely travel off planet. They are highly advanced in the arts and science, particularly genetic engineering. They finally signed a treaty with the Federation in 2368 after nearly a century of negotiations. ("Sarek" [TNG]).
legate.: Rank in the Cardassian military above gul, possibly equivalent to that of a Starfleet admiral. A senior legate is commander-in-chief of the Cardassian Central Command. This position has been filled in recent years by Legate Dukat, Legate Damar and Legate Broca. ("By Inferno's Light" [DS9]).
Leila'ah.: Province on the Skedan homeworld, represented on the Circle of Seven by Imraak. ("Seven of Nine" [Pocket VGR #16]).
Lemax.: Planetary system within the former Thallonian Empire. The dangerous region of space known as the Gauntlet was located in Lemax system. ("Into the Void" [Pocket NF #2]).
Lenarians.: Humanoid species found throughout the Federation. They are often found as miners, or other menial professions. Their homeworld has been lost to antiquity, as they have had spaceflight for millenia. In their exodus from a pollutted homeworld they lost the records of the pre-exodus times including the coordinates of their homeworld. All that survived were isolated stories and legends. Their technological progress has been very slow since acheiving warp flight however, and they hold a resentment against the Federation because of it's rapid progress and meticulous record keeping. (Unknown source).
Lenaris Holem.: Bajoran militia general. A former member of the Ornathia resistance cell, who had been present at the Pullock IV raid. Lenaris had had a brother at Gallitep. As a colonel, in 2371, he led the militia force sent to capture Shakaar and his farmer's rebellion. Finally, confronted by Shakaar and Kira, rather than start a possible civil war, he agreed to take them to the capital. In 2376, Colonel Lenaris commanded the Lamnak Fleet and assisted in the evacuation of the Europa Nova colony. He was promoted to General after that incident, a deliberate snub by the Bajoran government to his commander during that mission, Colonel Kira Nerys. ("Shakaar" [DS9]; "Demons of Air and Darkness" [Pocket Gateways #4]). Played by John Doman.
Lense, Elizabeth.: ([DS9]).
Leonardo-class.: Type of Federation starship in use in the 22nd and 23rd centuries. The Leonardo was designed as a corsair, and was just under 100 meters in length. (Federation Starship Recognition Chart [Aridas Sofia]). This vessel is only featured as a recognition silhouette on the FSR Chart by Aridas Sofia, no details about its design or construction are known. The NCC codes on the chart indicate there could have been approximately 115 of this class built, with the registries ranging from NCC-025 to NCC-140, although I will consider this apocryphal in light of the fact that these registries might be better applied to different vessels.
Leonardo, U.S.S.: Federation starship, class ship of the Leonardo-class corsair, Starfleet registry NCC-025. (Federation Starship Recognition Chart [Aridas Sofia]). Many assume this vessel is named for historical artist Leonardo da Vinci, however since there is also a U.S.S. da Vinci, this would seem to be redundant. Perhaps this is named for the Leonardo family which founded the town of the same name in New Jersey.; Security officer aboard the starship Enterprise under the command of James Kirk. Leslie was beamed down to planet Delta Vega in 2264 to supervise prisoner Gary Mitchell. ("Where No Man Has Gone Before" [TOS #1]; "The Naked Time" [TOS #6]; "Present Tense" [Pocket TOS Janus Gate #1]). Played by Eddie Paskey.
Leyrons.: Humanoids from Malkus IX. They have barely acheived warp flight and are just beginning to explore the Galaxy. They are of note to linguists that one of their major subcultures developed a written language significantly before spoken or sign languages. ("Loud as a Whisper" [TNG]).
level 4 clearance.: The level of security access needed to find out details of a runabout mission. Bashir, Dax, and Worf have this level, which is the level needed to be an intelligence officer and a fleet liaison. ("Vortex" [DS9]; "Soldiers of the Empire" [DS9]).
level 5 security protocol.: Used to lock down an area from all access. Only Sisko and Odo have that authority. ("Dramatis Personæ" [DS9]).
Lewinsky, John.: Captain of the Federation starship Monitor in 2372. ("The Return" [Pocket TOS HC #10]).
Lewis and Clark.: Space vessel that took part in the Belle Terre expedition in the 2270s, a privately owned Conestoga carrier commanded by Captain Maitland. ("Wagon Train to the Stars" [Pocket New Earth #1]).

Lexington, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Constitution-class heavy cruiser, Starfleet registry NCC-1709. Tyler Garth served aboard this ship for a long time. ("Judgment Rites" [Interplay TOS]; Federation Starship Recognition Manual [FASA RPG]; Begin Tactical Starship Simulator [Clockwork Software]).
