L SECTION 2: ? through ?.

Li Nalas.: Legendary Bajoran resistance fighter who was believed to have been killed until it was discovered that he had been held in a labor camp on Cardassia IV for ten years. He was rescued by Kira and O'Brien, and returned to a hero's welcome on DS9. However, Li was reluctant and apprehensive at the prospect of filling the role his fellow Bajorans wanted him to play, that of hero and leader. He tried to stow away on a Tygarian freighter, but was caught. Li confessed to Sisko that his entire reputation had resulted from a single incident in which he had shot and killed Gul Zarale, who was bathing in a river at the time. But Sisko convinced him to stay and try to be the legend that Bajor needed. Li was then appointed by Jaro as "Navarch", to replace Kira as liaison officer on DS9. He helped rescue Kira from the Circle, and participated in the defense of DS9, but died when he took a phaser shot meant for Sisko. ("The Homecoming" [DS9]; "The Circle" [DS9]; "The Siege" [DS9]). Played by Richard Beymer.
Li Quan.: ("Red Sector" [Pocket TNG #53]).
Li Wang.: ("Dreadnought!" [Pocket TOS #29]).
library computer access and retrieval system.: SEE: LCARS. ("Encounter at Farpoint" [TNG #1&2]).
Ligonians.: Dark-skinned humanoids from Ligon II. They lack advanced technology but posess significant agricultural abilites. They hold ritual honor highly and have a strong and stable social structure. In Ligonian culture the females posess the land and property but allow the males to rule in their name. Thus giving women a certain degree of equality in an otherwise patriarchal society. They have several treaties with the Federation for supplies of rare vaccines and antibiotics. ("Code of Honor" [TNG]).
Lincoln, U.S.S.: ("Dreadnought!" [Pocket TOS #29]).
linguacode.: Language form used in communications between differing alien species, designed to be as open and decipherable as possible. ("The Motion Picture" [Movie #1]).
Lissepians.: Humanoid race of traders from Cardassian space. Charactaristically burly and yellow/green skinned, Lissepians also have a large aft lobe of the brain with an aft ridge vaguely reminicent of Dopterians. Lissepians have modern interstellar spaceflight technology and operate many independent trading and shipping ships. Lissepians trade in anything legal (usually) of any value, including holographic equipment, building equipment, and foodstuffs. ("The Maquis" [DS9]).
Litana.: An engineer under O'Brien, on the day shift. Rom believed she liked him; according to him, she was always finding excuses to talk to him. ("The Assignment" [DS9]).
lithium crystals.: Form of the element lithium that was used in early warp engines. It was found that the rare fourth-dimensional element dilithium was a better catalyst for matter/antimatter reactions, although standard warp drives could still use lithium with some modifications. ("Where No Man Has Gone Before" [TOS #1]). The transformation of lithium to dilithium as a power catalyst in the early episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series was another symptom of trying to make the technology of the show sound less modern, and therefore more plausible.
Living.: ("Chainmail" [Pocket Gateways #2]).
L'Kor.: Klingon warrior who was captured by Romulans at Khitomer and thought killed. L'Kor became a resident of the Carraya system prison camp. ("Birthright" [TNG]). Played by Richard Herd.

Lonar.: Young Cardassian who took up the rallying cry after Damar, Garak, and Kira blew up a Jem'Hadar arms storage facility. ("The Dogs of War" [DS9]). Played by Leroy D. Brazile.
Lorac.: Inhabitant of Beta Epsilon VI. ("Mortal Gods" [DC TOS #5]).
Lorit Akrem.: Bajoran resistance fighter, and friend of Kira and Razka. He recruited Kira into the Shakaar resistance cell. He was one of the prisoners on the Ravinok when it disappeared; it was in hopes of finding him that Kira went to investigate when a part of the ship was finally found. She eventually learned that Lorit survived the crash but was killed in a cave-in in the Breen mine in 2370. ("Indiscretion" [DS9]).
Louvois, Phillipa.: Captain, an officer of the Starfleet Judge Advocate General office. ("Measure of a Man" [TNG]; "The Noise of Justice" [DC TNG vol.2 #10]).

Luntee.: ("Chainmail" [Pocket Gateways #2]).
Lupaza.: Bajoran woman, former member of the Shakaar resistance group. She spoke up for Kira's inclusion in an ambush in 2356, and later made her an earring. After the Occupation, Lupaza turned farmer, a fact which amazed Kira. Lupaza, who was Furel's lover, was an expert at defeating security systems. She was among the former cell members who went on the run with Shakaar and Kira in 2370. In 2373, Lupaza was murdered with Furel by Silaran Prin, using a hunter probe, as revenge for their part in the raid on Gul Pirak's house. ("Shakaar" [DS9]; "The Darkness and the Light" [DS9]). Played by Diane Salinger.

Lurians.: A race of large semi-humanoids from deep space. Burly and large with no necks, a large chin, and a slightly apelike appearance. Few Lurians have been found in Federation space but those who are known exist mainly as gamblers or barkeeps. Unfortunately we have seen no examples of Lurian ships or technology, but is estimated to be somewhat behind the Federation. Lurians have strong voices but generally do not speak for reasons unknown. ("Emissary" [DS9]).
Lussilla.: Name Mullibok called out while having a nightmare. Lussilla was possibly a woman of Mullibok's acquaintance during the Cardassian occupation. ("Progress" [DS9]).
