Enevian Empire
Enormously powerful political entity of the 39th century. It came to domi-nate what was once known as Thallonian space, and forced many worlds and species into servitude. Its leader, Shad Tiempor, predicted its eventual domina-tion of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Enevians
Colonists of the planet Enev.
Engineering Room, The
Bar in the El Dorado hotel where people, after a few drinks, are known to "act on impulse" or become "totally warped." The bar's "greeter" was, for a time, Montgomery Scott, former chief engineer of the original Starship Enter-prise under the command of Captain James T. Kirk.
Excalibur, U.S.S.
Starfleet Registry number NCC-26517. The U.S.S. Excalibur was a
newly refitted Ambassador-class, Starship under the command of Cap-tain Calhoun. Her last assignment was to monitor the collapse of the Thallonian Empire in Sector 221-G, render aid, and keep the peace when necessary.

In a parallel reality, a Rolisan philosopher, one of the greatest thinkers in galactic history. Son of Izzo; father of a son, Milenko, and a daughter, Blay-more, who shared his intellectual gifts. Does not exist in this reality, because his ancestors and their world were destroyed by the Black Mass.
Fairax, Majister
Yakaban law-enforcement officer in the city of Narrin. Served under a four-year contract. Wasn't very fond of most of the people under his jurisdiction, except for Rheela. At her request, he placed the ailing and incoherent marooned Captain Calhoun in "gaol," or jail.

Ferghut,The
Leader of the Corinderian people, chosen by an artificial intelligence that scans the populace for suitable candidates. The office of the Ferghut is an anonymous position that is conferred for life. The decision to make the ruler anonymous was rooted in the belief that it would help shield the leader's family from retribution or scrutiny, and that it would make each new leader a "blank slate" upon whom the future of Corinder could be written.
Permit, Subminister
Hareshi politician, and primary political rival of Haresh's appointed leader, Minister Rizpak, who is also Permit's brother-in-law. Permit was a physically formidable individual.
Final Challenge
Under Danteri Law, the family of a murder victim can opt for a Final Chal-lenge, in which a family member fights the accused to the death. If the accused wins the conflict, he is allowed to go free. If he loses, however, death can be drawn out over any period desired. Any manner of killing one's opponent in a Final Challenge is considered acceptable.
Finnegan, Cadet
A rambunctious Starfleet cadet who pushed the young Cadet Selar into the Academy pool when she showed reluctance to dive in. This cadet is not to be confused with the Cadet Finnegan who tormented a young James T. Kirk many decades before, although the two cadets' behaviors bear an uncanny similarity.
Fireworld
One of the major tourist attractions of Thallonian Space, the Fireworld remains a major mystery. It has a surface of constant, unending fire that burns and burns without apparently having any source. No one is quite certain whether the fire is limited to the surface, or whether the entire planet, right down to its core, is one gigantic ball of flame.
Fista
A Dog of War, litter brother to Krul. Lean and hungry looking, with mottled gray fur.

Home of the Momidium species,
Gaol
Yakaban word for jail.
Garbeck, Commander Alexandra

Gauntlet, The
A region in the Lemax system, between two waning planets in the former Thallonian Empire. The area was infamous as a battlefield, but was silent for centuries after the Thallonians ended the conflict After the fall of the Thallon-ian Empire, fighting resumed almost immediately, and the Cambon, a noncom-batant vessel transporting Thallonian refugees, became caught in the crossfire.

A late member of the Ruling Council of Montos City, he requested a visit from the officers of the U.S.S. Excalibur shortly before his demise.
Great Bird of the Galaxy
A creature once conside
red mythological, its existence was finally confirmed when it "hatched" from the planet Thallon, destroying that world entirely.
Subsequent investigation was correlated with the beast's mythology, and led to the conclusion that, when the Great Bird ended its last life-cycle, it imparted its "essence" to the world of Thallon, which accounted for the unique attributes of that world's mineral-rich surface. After a period of many centuries, that min-eral bounty was reabsorbed as the creature's new incarnation, gestated, and it was then reborn, destroying its temporary planetary "nest."
Great Chair
The throne of The Overlord, leader of the Redeemers of Tulaan IV. The Great Chair is located in, of course, the Great Hall.
Great Hall
The central gathering place and seat of power of the Redeemers, located on Tulaan IV. It is the single most impressive structure on the planet, with tall
spires and a large number of statues, including one at the top of the hall that absorbs the scant light of the Tulaan moons for use as energy.

Haresh
A planet in Sector 221-G. Its culture has a long and proud tradition of for-mal dueling to resolve disputes of various kinds.
Haresh's entire population was slain by the Redeemer virus after they killed a Redeemer High Priest. Captain Calhoun of the U.S.S. Excalibur wanted to intervene earlier as a moderator, but was unable to reach the planet in time to prevent the tragedy.
Calhoun responded to this failure by breaking several dozen Starfleet regu-lations and slingshotting the Excalibur around the Haresh sun, traveling back in time by four days so that he would be able to intervene before the Redeemer virus was unleashed.
Hauman
The Makkusian leader who accepted the Federation's offer of membership from Captain Shelby of the U.S.S. Exeter. Hauman is a tall man, nearly seven feet tall, with long brown hair and an aura of peace that many humans find quite relaxing.

Hermat Embassy
On Earth, the Hermat Embassy is based in New York City. It is presided over by Tanzi 419, the Hermat ambassador to Earth.
Hermat Language Council
Hermat Organization composed of linguists and scholars that meets annu-ally and examines usage of the Hermat language by Hermats among them-selves and in dealings with other species. Recent decrees mandated the use of new pronouns to reduce confusion during dealings with other species. The council also approves the adoption of words into the Hermat language that have worked their way into the common vernacular.
Hermats
An hermaphroditic species, i.e., one that possesses fully functional gender organs of both male and female sexes. Not psychologically inclined toward long-term relationships or monogamy, they prefer to mate with several partners during then- fertile years.
In addition, the Hermats possess razor-sharp canine teeth, and they have developed a unique set of pronouns to accommodate their dual-sex status.
Hermats, as a race, tend to keep to themselves. Their tendency toward seg-regation from the rest of the Federation is well known. While Hermats are not necessarily xenophobic, they have some difficulty relating effectively to mem-bers of other species. They are renowned for their versatility and ingenuity.
The Hermat Directorate does not officially recognize half-breeds as Hermat citizens, deserving of protection under Hermat law, despite a previous notable exception to the policy that was made on behalf of the half-breed offspring of Lebroq, a Hermat Elder.
Herz
A Thallonian guard who was dismissed from the royal service for allowing Soleta and Ambassador Spock to escape Thallonian custody. He later allied him-self with the rebellion, and took pleasure in lording it over the deposed prince, Si Cwan, when the former royal was returned to Thallon to face "justice."
Hierarchy, The
The rigidly delineated chain of seniority and authority observed by the Redeemers.
High Priest of Alpha Cannae, The
A High Priest of Xant, outgoing and actively evangelical, who was killed by the local population. His murder released a virulent pathogen that spread rapidly across the planet, killing every living thing, plant and animal alike, on the surface and in the oceans in just under 72 hours.
High Priests of Xant
Missionaries of the Redeemers. One High Priest is sent to each world selected to be converted to Xantism. Violence against High Priests is discour-aged by the presence of a lethal pathogen stored within their bodies, which is released in the event of their unnatural death. Killing a High Priest of Xant effectively unleashes a planetary death sentence, as the residents of Alpha Can-nae unfortunately discovered.
Hodgkis
A farmer in Narrin, on Yakaba. The biggest, most physically intimidating man in town, Hodgkis kept mostly to himself. When he appeared at town meet-ings, he was generally silent. Tended to be present at any major town event. After Rheela was attacked by a mob and her house burned down, Calhoun made an example of Hodgkis and coerced the man, and the other strong-bodied men of the town, to rebuild Rheela's home.
Hodgkiss, Captain
Former commanding officer of the Federation starship Exeter. Was pro-moted to a higher position at Starfleet Command, paving the way for Elizabeth Shelby to receive her own first command.
Houle, Lieutenant j.g. Michael
Tall, handsome shuttlebay officer aboard the starship Excalibur, under the command of Captain Calhoun. Was newly promoted to junior lieutenant when Morgan Lefler overpowered him and attempted to steal a shuttle from the U.S.S. Excalibur shuttlebay.

Thallonian refugees to Sigma Tau Ceti, and was later rescued by the U.S.S. Excdlibur. He was killed by Laheera of Nelkar.
Hunger Zone, The
Origin point of the Black Mass, which remained in the zone until its hunger became overwhelming. The Black Mass was able to migrate out of the zone in any one of an infinite number of directions. The intervals between migrations were unpredictable, but were theorized to be related to how much matter the Black Mass consumed on each migration. Its three last forays were roughly 50, 10 and 90 years apart.
Intempho
A trickster god in ancient Thallonian mythology, always pictured wearing a distinctive medallion. Hated the other gods, and strove to do away with them, but could not strike direct
ly. Stole fire from the gods and gave it to the Thallonian people, who used it to create great works. According to legend, when the gods demanded that the Thallonians give back the secret of fire, the Thallonians set fire to the gods' Great Temple, ushering in their world's age of reason. Si Cwan read of this tale in an ancient book that was part of his sister Kalinda's library.
