Star Trek Novel Verse	comment	The Star Trek Novel Verse is an unofficial fan-used name for the 21st Century Star Trek novels with a shared continuity, part of the Star Trek Expanded Universe.While there is not any official canon status to Trek books, the modern line of Star Trek novels from Pocket Books tends to make an effort to be consistent in regards to continuity, with most novels from the year 2000 on generally set within the same reality. References to other books and series, crossovers, shared characters and story arcs between novels are the norm rather than the exception, although each series still aims to be accessible on its own. There is certainly no obligation to keep to a shared continuity, but most authors do so. Broad Strokes is common, but the majority of 21st Century Trek books have a considerably tighter continuity than many people think.Notably, there are various "relaunch" series, which continue the story of each show beyond its end; revealing, for example, if Bajor joined the Federation, what the Enterprise-E does between and after movies or what the crew of Voyager did after coming home. The Trek line has been considerably more proactive post-Nemesis, and has in fact broken Contractual Immortality (though who died would be a spoiler).Stand-alone novels that are part of the modern shared continuity include: Star Trek: From History's Shadow Star Trek: Elusive Salvation Star Trek: Allegiance In Exile Star Trek: That Which Divides Star Trek: The Captain's Oath Star Trek: Harm's Way Star Trek: Ex Machina Star Trek Living Memory Star Trek: Forged in Fire Star Trek: The Last Roundup Star Trek: The Captain's Daughter Star Trek: Cast No Shadow Star Trek: Vulcan's Heart Section 31: Rogue Star Trek: Immortal Coil Star Trek: Hollow Men Star Trek: The Battle of Betazed Diplomatic Implausibility Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time The Nanotech War Star Trek: Articles of the Federation A Singular Destiny Star Trek: Section 31 - Disavowed Star Trek: Section 31 - Control Star Trek The Light FantasticShort story collections that are part of the modern shared continuity include: Star Trek: Seven Deadly Sins Star Trek: Tales of the Dominion WarSeries that are a part of the modern shared continuity include: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch: Seventeen books, twenty if you acknowledge that each Worlds of Deep Space Nine book is actually two full novels in one, twenty-one if Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time is counted. The arcs from this series continue into Star Trek: Typhon Pact. Star Trek: The Next Generation Relaunch: Nine books, ten counting the Star Trek: Typhon Pact entry. Arcs from this series continue into Star Trek: Cold Equations and Star Trek: The Fall. Star Trek: Voyager Relaunch: Fourteen books. Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch: Ten books, eleven if you count Rosetta. Star Trek: A Time to...: Nine books, the characters of Star Trek: The Next Generation after Insurrection but before Nemesis. Star Trek: Titan: Nine books in the series proper, plus the Crisis Crossover Star Trek: Destiny trilogy, which is essentially part of the series, along with a Star Trek: Typhon Pact entry and a Star Trek: The Fall entry. Another novel announced. Star Trek: The Lost Era: Technically eleven books, incluing the Terok Nor trilogy listed below (it has its own page); since Terok Nor is often billed as a separate series, we might say eight books in the series proper. Terok Nor: Trilogy. Starfleet Corps of Engineers: Originally an e-book novella series, collected periodically in paperback installments; thirteen collections. Star Trek: Vanguard: Eight books, plus several short stories. Star Trek Seekers: A sequel of sorts to Vanguard, four books. Star Trek: Klingon Empire: Four books, plus several short stories. Star Trek: Vulcan's Soul: Trilogy. Star Trek: Destiny: Consists of three novels: Gods of Night, Mere Mortals, and Lost Souls - This trilogy weaves together elements from Trek's past and future and completely changes the scope of the Star Trek universe. Begins with the discovery of one of Earth's first generation of starships, lost for centuries and now found deep in the Gamma Quadrant. Focuses mostly on four captains, William Riker, Jean-Luc Picard, Ezri Dax, and Erika Hernandez, as the secrets of the origin of the Borg are brought into the light and a battle looms that will profoundly alter the future of the Federation... and the galaxy. A Singular Destiny Star Trek: Typhon Pact: Seven books, plus a novella. Star Trek: Cold Equations. Trilogy. Star Trek: The Fall: Five books. Star Trek Legacies: Three books. Star Trek: Prey: Three books. Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations (DTI): Two books followed by three novellas. Star Trek: The Genesis Wave: Four books, three in the series proper, plus the Genesis Force tie in. Star Trek: Mere Anarchy: Six novellas, collected in an omnibus. Star Trek: Gemworld: Two books. Star Trek: The Brave And The Bold: Two books. Features team-ups between each of the series's regular characters and a guest crew from the continuity; the name is taken from the DC Comics series of the same name. Star Trek: String Theory: Trilogy. Star Trek: Slings and Arrows: Novella series. Star Trek: Errand of Fury: Trilogy. Star Trek: Prometheus: Trilogy, featuring a (nearly) new ship and crew, the USS Prometheus (from the Voyager episode "Message in a Bottle"). Written by two German authors (Christian Humberg and Bernd Perplies) and the first Star Trek novels to be originally published in a language other than English. Star Trek: Coda: A 2021 Grand Finale for the entire Novelverse.Novels and series loosely a part of the modern continuity through Broad Strokes include: Star Trek: New Frontier: Twenty-two books, eighteen of which are in the series proper, plus quite a few short stories) - Follows the adventures of Xenexian Captain Mackenzie Calhoun of the Ambassador-class USS Excalibur, a Kirk-like captain whose rebellious and impulsive nature is a return to the 'cowboy diplomacy' of the original series. Written entirely by Peter David, it is notable among Trek literature in that it exists relatively independently from the rest of Trek canon, taking place concurrently with TNG, and its independent nature allows more creative freedom with characters and their fates. Star Trek: Vulcan's Forge Star Trek: Stargazer: Six books in the series proper, plus several other novels featuring the characters, starring Picard when he commanded the Constellation-class starship USS Stargazer. Star Trek: Millennium: Trilogy. Star Trek: Mirror Universe: Anthologies set in the Mirror Universe, showing us the gaps between Mirror Universe episodes. Star Trek: Myriad Universes: Series set in alternate realities, though they overlap with the main continuity on occasion. I, Q The Q Continuum Rihannsu: Five books begun before the TNG era. Though heavily outdated by ENT and Star Trek: Nemesis, some of the worldbuilding and language was borrowed for later books, including the Romulan War sub-series of the ENT Relaunch. The Captain's Table: A series of novels and short stories using an Inn Between the Worlds that only captains can enter as a framing device. Drinks are free, but the price is that each captain must share a tale with the other patrons — who are perfect peers to commiserate with.Reference books that are part of the continuity: The Starfleet Survival Guide The Klingon Art Of War.Star Trek Online is in an Alternate Continuity: it borrows some elements from the novelverse, but discards others, and goes completely Off the Rails when Star Trek: Destiny hits. A separate continuity also exists with the Star Trek Autobiographies that details the lives of Star Trek iconic characters in their own words.And finally, the Novelverse is now also officially an Alternate Universe to the current shows - Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Prodigy have overwritten (and in one or two cases, loosely adapted) much of the novels' future history. The finale trilogy, Star Trek: Coda ultimately made this explicit with a grand Crisis Crossover crossing multiple timelines.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_1044a759	type	Dying Race
Star Trek Novel Verse / int_1044a759	comment	Dying Race: The books established the Andorians as this, at least by the 24th century. Their complex four-sex biology was failing them and their window of fertility had dropped to only four or five years. Unless their genome could be repaired, they faced extinction within fifteen generations. Note that events in later books - Star Trek: Destiny most notably - made the problem even worse. As of The Fall, though, they're finally cured.

The Selenean Pod Mothers, who have great control over their offspring's genetics, have bred certain broods designed specifically for offworld contact. These individuals, Y'Lira Modan of Star Trek: Titan among them, take a form more pleasing to humanoid eyes, but retain the ability to shift into their natural state if need be.

In early books they are said to be superdense, but in a later book a character points out the perils of having a lot of mass on a high gravity world. Apparently, this is a rumour spread by the S'ti'ach themselves; they're aware of how cute they look to humanoids, and want to discourage anyone from picking them up and giving them cuddles.

Meanwhile, the Citoac (a race of Plant Aliens) communicate using sound - but in a very different way from how we use it. They make noises of a pitch that stimulates the brain of another being, directly influencing their neurology. Finally, Efrosian language is music-based, as are those of several aquatic species, among them the Alonis.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_11a74598	comment	Became Their Own Antithesis: The novel Crossover sees Admiral Leonard McCoy join the Enterprise-D when attempting to negotiate with the Romulan Senate to arrange for a group of captured Unificationists to be released into Federation custody, as the captured Unificationists include Spock (although the Romulans are unaware that they have Spock). After McCoy becomes frustrated with Picard's apparent hesitation and unwillingness to take decisive action, he officially takes command of the Enterprise and tries to negotiate directly with the colony governor that captured the Unificationists rather than through the Senate, but this results in the colony governor realising that he has Spock in custody, as the possibility of interrogating Spock offers far more benefits than any deal he could make with the Federation. Faced with this revelation, McCoy retreats to Ten-Forward, bitterly musing that he has become the kind of admiral he always hated when he was on the Enterprise, the admiral who steps in and takes over thinking he knows everything only to reveal that he actually has no idea and ends up making the situation worse.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_169d22e6	comment	Villain Team-Up: The Typhon Pact, an alliance of six previously xenophobic and aggressive antagonist cultures, is an unusual example, because most of its members are genuinely interested in peaceful co-existence. While the Tholian Assembly just wants to spite the Federation, on the whole the Typhon Pact is not primarily motivated by hostility; it's far more complex than that. The degree to which its member states will remain hostile is uncertain, and a division between those members who hate the Federation and those who seek peace and even alliance with it looks increasingly likely. See A Singular Destiny, Star Trek: Typhon Pact, the second novel of Star Trek: Cold Equations, and Star Trek: The Fall.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_187bddc1	comment	Religion of Evil: The Redeemers. Their mandate is to teach others about the grace of Xant - which means imposing their faith on entire planets on pain of genocide. Ironically, they consider their evil to be serving a greater good. Thanks to Insane Troll Logic, they act in the opposite manner to how Xant would want them to. This will serve to speed up his promised return, apparently - so by being ruthless and genocidal now, the Redeemers will, in the long-run, help bring Xant's wisdom and light to the galaxy a lot quicker. Plus, how can they possibly measure up to his godly example? Best not to try, and instead encourage the god to return and bestow his incomparable wisdom himself. Or possibly the Redeemers are just utterly insane...

After its introduction (and successful use) in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, it's largely ignored. A short story in a Star Trek: New Frontier anthology eventually suggested the prototype was destroyed soon after the episode. By the time of Star Trek: The Genesis Wave, the Romulans are making use of the technology again, or something very much like it, but then it drops off a second time, and when Star Trek: Titan comes round no-one's using it. Finally, in the recent Star Trek: Typhon Pact series, we're explicitly told the Romulans have finally perfected it. Let's hope it sticks this time...

In The Weight of Worlds, Uhura finds herself in charge of the Enterprise when Kirk, Spock and Sulu are stuck on the planet below and McCoy and Scotty are needed to deal with vital matters in their own departments, leaving her the highest-ranking bridge officer available.

Usually the vow comes across as tragic if the Cardassian is a good guy in over their head (Ataan) or laughable if the vower is actually no hero at all, only thinks he is (Dukat, Kell, I'm looking at you two). A straightforward example would be where Captain Klag vowed to defend San-Tarah against General Talak.

The Dithparus' mask is a sinister reflection of this. See Star Trek: The Lost Era in particular.

Many are buried deep, of course, not generally available to a given individual unless they're brought to the fore by powerful emotional or psychic triggers. Due to the short lifespan of members of many Tholian castes, memories and experience are often "uploaded" to the next generation from the pool of ancestral memories. This is one reason why Tholians hold grudges for an uncomfortably long time - the memories are fresh in their minds for generations.

The mask in Well of Souls is the best example. Useless to those who are not psi-sensitive, it enhances and focuses the talents of empaths and latent telepaths. It is designed to allow members of its planet's ruling family to enhance their psi talents to the degree that their mind can serve as a vessel for the spirit lifeform Uramtali. Without the mask, these talents would no longer be adequate, as the ruler's genes were diluted by centuries of inbreeding. In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch, there's the pagh'varam (Bajoran for "soul key") which also serves to boost latent telepathy. It's actually a fragment of a Bajoran Orb of the Prophets.

Thot Tran's recovery of an Alternate Universe ship from Tirana III and Thot Trom's later penetration of that universe, which sees him hijacking a ship and then falling back to Tirana III... In The Rings of Time, Kirk’s actions in particular contribute to saving a mission to Saturn that occurred in 2020, including ensuring the end of the Human Extinction League, a terrorist organisation that existed in that era; Spock confirmed before Kirk went to the HEL compound that the organisation in question was meant to have collapsed with minimal impact on history at that time anyway.

For example, A Singular Destiny features a character owning a large collection of Klingon novels and comics; most of these had been introduced in earlier books, only to be collected together here for Continuity Porn. In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch, a popular joke is mentioned several times, and a subplot involves the crew of Defiant all reading their way through a melodramatic Klingon novel. The same series introduced a Bajoran children's educational series, The Adventures of Lin Marna. Meanwhile, in Star Trek: Klingon Empire mention is frequently made of the Narm Charm found in the politically-charged animated series "Battlecruiser Vengeance". In one novel, Ezri Dax is distracted by her memories of a Trill nursery rhyme.

"The Veil at Valcour" is set aboard the Royal Navy vessel HMS Enterprise during The American Revolution while "World of Strangers" is set aboard the US Navy vessel U.S.S. Enterprise (CV-6) during World War II. The short story "I Am Become Death" in the anthology Strange New Worlds II takes place in 4367, 2,000 years after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation. By this time, humanity has gone extinct, having been replaced by a race of androids created by Data. "The Second Star" in Strange New Worlds III takes place in 2425, about 50 years after the events of Star Trek: Voyager. Tarina tells her grandchildren about her encounter with Voyager's crew in 2373. "A Girl for Every Star" in Strange New Worlds V takes place in 2123, about 30 years before the events of Star Trek: Enterprise and more than 140 years before those of Star Trek: The Original Series. The 11-year-old Jonathan Archer meets a young Vulcan girl named T'Rama, who later becomes the mother of Sarek and the grandmother of Spock. "Guardians" in Strange New Worlds VII begins in 2297, thirty years after the events of Star Trek: The Original Series, and moves increasingly further into the future until it reaches 52267 when the mother Horta's eggs hatch.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_4ef92d0b	comment	The Atoner: Garaknote "Fear and isolation, Doctor. You can't have one without the other. Fear isolates and isolation is fear's natural home. Just as my orchids need carefully prepared soil to protect them against disease and pests, fear needs the isolated circumstances to deepen and grow without connective or relational interference. When fear is allowed to flourish in its dark and lonely medium, then any evil that can be conceived by the fearful imagination will emerge. The death toll rises every day. We are now over the one billion mark. This is a numbing, dry statistic. I'm certain that when you read this, Doctor, you will have a disturbed reaction. Others will rationalize that the figure is commensurate with Cardassian complicity. And a third group will simply shrug: it's not their problem. My reaction would probably have been a combination of the latter two. Like most people, I want to get on with the business of my life and what's done is done and doesn't warrant any further loss of sleep or appetite. Our med unit has been converted into a burial unit. It's a logical progression; the survivors have all been accounted for and only the dead remain unclaimed. More immediate, of course, is the potential for decaying corpses to spread disease. So every day now I am engaged in the hardest work of my life; I find that nothing has prepared me for this. My feelings are spent, my moral rationalizations are empty, and I can't say it's not my problem when I'm pulling and lifting and throwing bodies of people who once only wanted to go about the business of their lives. A Federation official suggested that we simply vaporize all corpses. Underneath the suggestion was the judgment that our burial customs are archaic and morbid. At first I became angry and wanted to berate him for his lack of sensitivity as well as for his own culture's morbidity in representing death as sanitary and disassociated from life. But I realized that we were no better. We created technologies that dispensed death efficiently and from a distance; we never took responsibility for our personal actions because we were in the service of a greater good—the Cardassian state. Colonel Kira once told me how many Bajorans died during the Cardassian Occupation, and my mind rejected the figure like a piece of garbage. We'd been in the service of the state, I had told myself, and the state had determined what was necessary. But now I understand why she hated me. More important, I now understand that constant burning, almost insane look in her eyes. Most of us who are left, Doctor, are insane. We have to be in order to survive and emerge from our isolation. It's the only way we can live with the pain of what we did. Or didn't. Each of us accepts the amount of responsibility we are capable of bearing. Some accept nothing, and these people are quickly swallowed by their isolation, their insanity transformed into a rationalized evil. A smaller group accepts total responsibility, and their insanity is an unbearable burden that cripples and eventually grinds them down. The rest of us carry what we can and leave the rest. For myself, Doctor, when a corpse is too heavy to bury I try to remember to ask someone to help me."

The Neyel, a human Lost Colony, have "Drech'tor" for captain and "Subdrech'tor" for commander, which have obviously evolved from the titles "director" and "sub-director", as well as "subaltern", an archaic British term for any commissioned rank below captain.

For example, the JAG office on Vanguard station responded to an unusual case: A Denobulan man who attacked one of his second wife's other husbands (Denobulans have multiple partners, each of whom has up to three mates in turn). Was it simple assault or domestic abuse? Then of course there's the fact that some cultures (e.g. Klingons) consider mutual violence perfectly normal. In one story, a Vostigye believes a Human's lover is being abusive, and the Human tries to explain it's not so - it's just that their lover is a Klingon, and therefore considers rough-and-tumble part of a healthy relationship. As said, the issue is complicated.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_67f26dcc	type	Planet of Hats
Star Trek Novel Verse / int_67f26dcc	comment	Planet of Hats: Often averted, with races who are somewhat one-dimensional on screen made far less so. A few examples: The novels show considerable diversity in their Vulcan characters (even though the simple hat of "logic" still fits the vast majority). These include stuffy old racists who use their own brand of logic to advocate Vulcan superiority or isolationism (like Soreth in Star Trek: Ex Machina), Space Amish communities with strange insular customs (see Star Trek: Vanguard), xenophile enthusiasts who experiment with other cultural norms, at least one Vulcan who supports Surakian ideology yet demonstrates emotion outwardly to better fit in with aliens (yet claims he isn't feeling the emotion), a Deadpan Snarker or two (President Bacco's secretary Sivak, Soleta in Star Trek: New Frontier), individuals who play up the strereotypes as much as possible, those who reject Surakism and just show their emotions, complete pacifists and pragmatic fighters...to say nothing of the massive political divisions between those who support reunification with Romulus and those who don't, those who find Starfleet too violent and those that support/serve in it, those that are active in the Federation and those that have practically no contact with aliens. Sure, the vast majority still wear the logic hat, but there's a lot of variety in there. On TV, "Tellarites do not argue for a reason, they simply argue". In the novels, Tellarites are quite diverse, and differ hugely in how they express themselves; Thur chim Gliv in ''Losing the Peace'' is hugely different from Mor glasch Tev. Of course, in one story Tev claims pride is the Tellarite hat. It's a valued trait to them, not a vice. And to be fair, the "loves to argue" hat is still largely intact - it's canonically a feature of their mainstream culture. In the Star Trek: Klingon Empire series, one novel in particular (A Burning House) was dedicated to essentially showcasing the diversity in Klingon culture. First, the Klingon farmers were explored in some depth (one notably shrugged off the "good day to die" warrior ethos as not something she was particularly concerned with). They also had a far friendlier relationship with the various subject races, like Phebens. The labourers and workmen of the cities were also explored (in both the capital and in a run-down city where industry has packed up and left for newer pastures, leaving many out of work). There were also Klingon opera singers, lawyers, policemen, etc. Earlier books in the series, which focused on the warriors, also made a point of portraying them with much diversity, including an elderly Klingon who was previously a warrior but has since moved into farming and now "prefers fertilizer to blood". The Klingons only appear one dimensional to aliens because the political caste and the warriors (which are now the same thing anyway) are all those aliens ever get to see, unless they travel the empire itself and connect with the common people. Even the warriors show considerable diversity under that hat. In the novel Diplomatic Implausibility, the warriors are presented as highly diverse; we have the whiny engineer Vall, the Deadpan Snarker Leskit, the eager young officer Toq... The Romulans in the original series were the Proud Warrior Race, in the more modern shows their hat was intrigue. The novels present them with considerable complexity, including uniting these two interpretations, giving various Romulan characters a mix of traits drawn from both. Some Romulans are more towards the intrigue side of the scale, some the warrior side. Some are essentially warrior-politicians (Neral, Narviat, Dralath as a darker and more bloodthirsty variant), some noble soldiers of the Proud Warrior Race type (e.g. Charvanek, Tal and Ruanek (and he's of a different caste to the first two, and so expresses the tendency differently), and others are little more than thugs. Some Romulans are masters of intrigue, some are more concerned with the practical matters of politics, science or whatever else they do. The aristocratic posturing of Tal'aura and Tomalak contrasts with the populist politics of Gell Kamemor. Also, most characters of note are of the nobility, and don't represent the average citizen in the street. As with the Klingons mentioned above, the Romulan farmers, carpenters, teachers, artists etc are there - we just have far less focus on them. As for humans, the modern novels often suggest that humanity's hat is essentially a sort of ideological creativity, or a tendency to express themselves in ways that push the boundries - basically, humans don't like being contained or controlled, and resist any attempt to confine them, either in outlook or literally. This would fit the portrayal on the various TV shows — the resistance to authority from the pilot, the desire for space exploration and knowledge for knowledge's own sake, Weyoun thinking an anti-Dominion rebellion would start on Earth, etc. In one novel, a Tellarite says creativity defines humans as logic defines Vulcans. This creativity expresses itself in various ways - including the formation of a vast variety of cultures, religions and nations that outnumber those of most other species; so making the apparent lack of a hat actually a part of our hat. This variety comes precisely because humans will squabble over the slightest of rules and end up dividing every creed or faith or nation into hundreds of smaller ones if given the chance. They just seem to naturally seek a creative diversion, something new, and become attached to their ideological tangent over current "reality", for better or worse.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_6b4b3eba	type	Lady Land
Star Trek Novel Verse / int_6b4b3eba	comment	Lady Land: Several examples. First, there’s the Pak'shree homeworld. Pak'shree are born neuter, become male at puberty (and spend their adolescence having sex and competing to do so), before becoming female at maturity. All Pak’shree in authority are thus female by default. As male and immature are synonymous, Pak'shree often have trouble relating to males of other races without sounding (unintentionally) sexist. The inhabited worlds of the Cygnet system are also examples of Lady Land. Cygnet XIV, the Cygneti homeworld, was historically (22nd century) blatantly sexist towards males, with intellect and authority only ever considered feminine traits. This causes problems for male humans in the Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch. Holor Sethe in the Star Trek: Titan series demonstrates that in some ways it hasn't changed too much by the 24th century. Interestingly, and perhaps wisely, the all-female Klingon warriors of the qawHaq'hoch established their headquarters on Cygnet IV in the Star Trek: Voyager Relaunch. It makes sense; Klingons are patriarchal, so usually Klingon females operating without any males would be seen as odd; Cygnet might well be the nearest system to Klingon space where no-one would blink to see an all-female quasi-political organization. Then there’s the Megarite homeworld of Megara, where the ruling matriarchs are considered to be the more sophisticated of the species. They spend their lives sitting on beaches, doing little else, and consider travel to be "beneath" a female. The males are relegated to the distasteful realm of offworld trade and diplomacy, though many of them seem to enjoy it, being considerably more raucous and spontaneous than the somewhat stuffy females. Of course, there are exceptions, those Megarites who reject the traditional system. The young female Spring Rain On Still Water (in Star Trek: Ex Machina) prefers the more adventurous male life, and has been condemned by her matriarchs for "lowering" herself.

Commander Donatra, however, declared the worlds and fleets loyal to her independent. There were thus two Romulan states for a while, on opposite sides of the political gulf resulting from the Borg Invasion. Tal'aura's Romulan Star Empire became a member of the Typhon Pact, Donatra's Imperial Romulan State sought alliance with the Khitomer Accord nations. It was feared Thallonian space would fragment following the overthrow of the Thallonian Empire. Eventually, former prince Si Cwan and his allies were able to form a New Thallonian Protectorate...which nearly split in two soon afterwards.

The four-sexed Andorians have a multitude of gender-specific words but usually accept male or female pronouns so as to avoid confusion among offworlders.

Ra-Havreii also calls the Rianconi an "enlightened culture" upon discovering they’re the same. However, another character, Aili Lavena, complicates the trope. Her race exist in two life phases - an amphibious youthful/breeder stage and an aquatic form later on. The aquatic form is an Ethical Slut culture, but those in the amphibian stage are supposed to dedicate themselves to family life and avoid such sexuality. Lavena gave in to temptation and essentially tried to be an Ethical Slut too early, abandoning responsibility to her children. As such, she is now an Ethical Slut who is a non-Ethical Slut.

Luckily they have a shorter "familiar" name that can be used instead. Manraloth have very long names, but being immortal it probably makes sense.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_90965cc7	comment	Hive Mind: The Tholians - all individuals (and indeed possessing just as many dreamers, dissenters, seditionists and individualists as any other Trek culture) have a version of this on the instinctive level. The Tholian lattice connects the minds of all Tholians, distributing basic race-knowledge to all and allowing individuals to commune with one another. The lattice is regulated carefully, with different castes having different degrees of access. On occasion, it can indeed cause the entirety of the Tholian race to share an experience, as was the case with the telepathic assaults of the Shedai. And, of course, the Borg...especially the new Borg that give Starfleet an intense new war after they've "evolved" into consuming rather than assimilating. And yes, Pluto was one of the new Borg's first snacks.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_9ffbadef	type	Fantastic Naming Convention
Star Trek Novel Verse / int_9ffbadef	comment	Fantastic Naming Convention: Andorians have a given name and a surname, with their surname containing a prefix indicating which of the four sexes they belong to. Shran's full "Imperial name" in the Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch books is Hravishran th'Zoarhi (he's a thaan), with his better-known full name Thy'lek Shran (originally referring to his Mirror Universe counterpart in the TV series) apparently being the Aenar translation of his non-Imperial, home-culture name. The character Kanshent Shelav, from a highly traditionalist branch of her clan, insists on using this (her native Dreshna name), even though Andoria officially registers her by her Imperial name, Trenkanshent sh’Lavan. Her cousin answers just as readily to Aranthanien ch’Revash as to Thanien Cherev. The four gender suffixes are th', sh', zh' or ch' (e.g. Thirishar ch'Thane, Sessethantis zh'Cheen or Kellarasana zh'Faila, whose shorter "familiar" names are Shar, Thantis and Kell - though the latter's Mirror Universe counterpart prefers Sana). An additional prefix for an outsider adopted into an Andorian clan was recently introduced. In all Andorian names, sibilants and lisping sounds are very common. Tellarites have three names, usually of one or two syllables, the middle being a non-capitalized connective that appears to be chosen from a small pool. Examples include Bera chim Gleer, Bersh glov Mog, Bodor chim Grev, and Mor glasch Tev. Typically, they're referred to by the final name, which is shared among close family members (Rif jav Balkar and Sagar bav Balkar are a married couple). Hermats have a name followed by a number (e.g. Burgoyne 172, Dogayn 418, or Rulan 12). Among the Nasats, names are letter-number-shell colour (e.g. P8 Blue, Z4 Blue, C29 Green or V1 Red). These are actually shortened forms of a longer string of numbers and letters which serve as the official designation, with shell colour added on. Triexians have two names often connected by "na" (e.g. Krelis na Then, Arex na Eth, Ferin na Yoth), or sometimes "ko", as in Nexa ko Tor. The first name appears to be the one used formally. The first name is almost always two syllables, the final name a single syllable. The Triexians' Edoan cousins seem to have only a single name. Tholians have a single name, which usually ends in "ene". Examples include Loskene, Tezrene, Yilskene and Kasrene. Exceptions appear to be from the lower castes like the technicians; most Tholian characters of note are from higher castes like the politicians, warriors and diplomats, and almost always use the "ene". Damiani names have two syllables separated by an apostrophe, followed by a letter, an apostrophe and ullh, ullho or ullhy depending on sex (they have three). Examples include Ra'ch B'ullhy (female), Je'tran T'ullh (male) and Ne'al G'ullho (the third sex). D' and N' are common Romulan prefixes, the former suggestive of importance or "greatness", while T' is a Vulcan feminine prefix. Some of the books borrow the naming structure from the Rihannsu books - they're otherwise not considered part of this continuity - for example the Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch expands the name of Admiral Valdore from the canon show to Valdore i'Kaleh tr'Ihaimehn. Others favour the Only One Name pattern more common in the shows. It seems that this single name is usually the family name; a first name will sometimes be used, e.g. Gell Kamemor, Aventeer Vokar, but this is apparently rarer than simply using the family name. Thallonians tend to use the honorific "Si" between their given and family names (Zoran Si Verdin, Jang Si Naran, etc). Royal Thallonian Si Cwan appears to use the honorific itself as his first name. Betazoid males have names of one or two syllables (Tam, Cort, Gart, Hent, Ven), the females of two, three or four (Anissina, Mollarana, Damira), while their family names often end in n (Enaren, Kaldarren, Povron, Tevren) or x (Grax, Xerix, Mryax, Xerx). Efrosians tend to use a "Ra-" prefix on the surname (Ra-Yalix, Xin Ra-Havreii, Ra-Ghoratreii, Satlin Ra-Graveness), but not always. Ni- and Hu' prefixes have been see as well (e.g. Ni-Jalikreii, Fellen Ni-Yaleii, Hu'Ghrovlatrei). Tzenkethi names have four components: the individual name, their job, their echelon within that job, and their proficiency grade. Example: Alizome Tor Fel-A, with "tor" indicating a position as special agent to the Tzenkethi Autarch, "fel" being her membership in the "problem-solver" echelon, and "A" indicating the second-highest proficiency in that role (AA rating is incredibly rare, though). Alonis have long names like Quirmirkis, Nerramibus or Liezakranor. When off-world, they add a shorter additional name to the beginning to designate their function (“Tel” is diplomat, “Los” is soldier), and split the name in two (e.g. Admiral Los Tirasol Mentir is probably Tirasolmentir back home, Ambassador Tel Ammanis Lent is probably Ammanislent). Choblik have a two-syllable first name and a last name consisting of three hyphenated syllables, e.g. Torvig Bu-Kar-Nguv and Felbog Bu-Tsop-Vee. Grazerite names, following the formula established onscreen by Jaresh-Inyo, are two names joined by a hyphen (e.g. Severn-Anyar, Torvis-Urzon, Lonam-Arja, Amster-Iber). They sound ponderous and each of the names is typically two syllables long, very occasionally one. The first name is shared between siblings or herd members - Jaresh-Inyo's brother is Jaresh-Uryad. Coridanite names very frequenly end in a V. The "ev" sound is particularly common (e.g. Lekev, Kalev, Chulev); another common ending is "g" (e.g. Seareg, Yoralig). The emphasis always seems to be on the first syllable, and family names are rare. Zakdorn possess both a given name and a surname, the latter almost always longer than the former, with choppy syllables and lots of "k" sounds yet also oddly melodic (e.g. Koll Azernal, Klim Dokachin, Myk Bunkrep, Virum Kalnota, Rujat Suwadi, Gruhn Helkara). Betelgeusian names seem to almost always have an "uu" sound, an "i" sound, a "t" sound and an apostrophe (e.g. Chuu'iik Hru'uith, Kuu'iut, Hrrii'ush Uuvu'it, Chi'iot). Rhaandarite names always seem to have an "aa" sound (e.g. Gaanth, Haarv, Vaylin Zaand, Laarin Andos). Benzite names are two syllables and harsh-sounding (e.g. Meldok, Veldon, Linzner, Salmak, Cardok, Melnis). Bolian names are short, almost never more than two syllables, and quite often only one. Some use surnames (which are indistinguishable from given names), but most don't. Examples: Chell, Min Zife, Gom, Frnats, Zim Brott, Nea, Sovan, Rixx, Bor Loxx. Chelon names have lots of short, sharp syllables that sound like wet clicks and snaps - "i"s and "t" are common (e.g. Rinsit, Simmerith, Latanum, Jetanien, Miltakka). In fact, most races and cultures show patterns in their naming, often subtle ones. It is possible in many cases to identify a character's species or culture by name alone.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_b2280b66	type	Retcon
Star Trek Novel Verse / int_b2280b66	comment	Retcon: Several. The move from a totally discontinuous mass into a far more unified continuity has resulted in a fair number of these. A particularly good example: in Star Trek: Vulcan's Heart, Romulus's capital city was given the name Ki Baratan. It had previously been called Dartha, but that was in a story set a century prior. Later novels used the time gap for a reasonable Retcon: the capital's name changes as new regimes come to power. Now, books set in the 22nd or 23rd centuries use "Dartha", those set in the 24th use "Ki Baratan". The name change is explicitly mentioned in the first Star Trek: Titan novel. Another good example is the Andorian issue. The Andorians were initially portrayed quite differently between Star Trek: Enterprise and the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch novels (specifically, Enterprise gives no sign of the four genders that are central to the novels' depiction of Andorians, and at least strongly implied that they just have the usual male and female), but later books skillfully resolved the seeming contradictions. The various portrayals now add up rather neatly. Also, in the Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch, the names of Xindi characters are a blend of screen names and those given in early novelizations. For example, the Xindi known as Dolim was named "Guruk" in the first novelization, so in later books his full name is given as "Guruk Dolim".

Their entire culture is dedicated to a violent crusade, one that will see them reconnect with their gods, the True (who are the Wormhole Aliens, known to Bajor as the Prophets and to the peaceful Eav'oq as the Siblings). The Ascendants destroy all who worship falsely or commit blasphemy against the True. They do not appear to have a problem with non-worshippers, though. The Redeemers are another culture of religious fundamentalists; indeed, the only members of their species left are this, as most were wiped out by the Redeemer virus, which the survivors later used to cow subjugated (converted, "saved") peoples. The Holy Order of the Kinshaya appears to be a military theocracy, with crusades against the Klingon "demons", though given Klingon attempts to destroy Kinshaya worlds they are somewhat more sympathetic than most fundamentalists.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_c868a42a	comment	Freudian Excuse: In a sense, entire cultures have this. No culture in Trek is "evil" by nature, but the traumas of their development often forge them into unpleasant antagonistic societies (an idea that may have started in Deep Space Nine as the Founders' Start of Darkness came from their desire to impose order and safety in a galaxy that persecuted them). Fear and hurt on a civilization-wide level resulting from dark and harmful pasts, leading to a culture lashing out in aggression and conflict, is a staple theme, particularly in portrayals of the Cardassians and Klingons. In fact, whole ongoing sagas explore these two societies coming to terms with themselves and their deep-stated fears. The Tholians, Romulans and even Borg have also had their "Freudian excuses" explored. Greatly simplified, for Klingons it's the Hur'q invasion, for Cardassians the climatic catastrophe that nearly starved them, for Tholians oppression by the Shedai, for Romulans the difficulties of the exodus from Vulcan. As for the Borg, see Star Trek: Destiny.

Also, in the Star Trek: The Lost Era novel The Art of the Impossible, Captain Qaolin of the Defence Force and his Imperial Intelligence liasion really don't like each other - again, because the berserker battle-hungry tendencies of the warriors clash with I.I's "dishonourable" sneakiness and caution. The Klingons aren't the only ones; the Romulan military takes its codes of honour, and the passionate brotherhood between warriors, very seriously. The cool, passionless underhanded tactics of the Tal Shiar intelligence agency therefore offend them, as does their tendency to question a warrior's loyalty. The Tal Shiar, for their part, view the military leadership as inbred, unimaginative fools. Then there's Cardassia, where Interservice Rivalry is endemic, particularly between the Central Command and the Obsidian Order.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_dba4ae4f	comment	Arc Welding: A rather pleasing example with the exploits of Kahless, linking the Klingon saga to the Voyager relaunch in interesting ways. In Star Trek: A Time to..., Kahless had replaced himself with a hologram (equipped with a mobile emitter) and wandered off to Cygnet IV, supposedly to "do whatever (he) felt like". It was also a test, allowing him to give his usual Hurricane of Aphorisms when the ruse was discovered. In the Star Trek: Voyager Relaunch, though, it's revealed why he was on Cygnet IV specifically. The secret headquarters of the qawHaq'hoch are located there, and he's keeping the plates spinning in the plan to keep Miral (B'Elanna and Tom's daughter) safe from the fanatics trying to kill her. Further, the mobile emitter for his holographic replacement was created by B'Elanna herself. The novel Paths of Disharmony made the Shedai Meta-Genome from Star Trek: Vanguard essential to the Andorian Crisis arc from the 24th Century novels.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_df582b0b	comment	Continuity Snarl: A deliberate, in-universe example that the Q have to sort out, showing how complex reality truly is. If the Borg aren't liberated in 2381 (Star Trek: Destiny), they'll grow too powerful to be stopped and will eventually assimilate the entire Milky Way within a few centuries. Because of this, people in the know (those uptime or those on higher dimensional planes/other continuums) want to make sure the Borg-Federation encounters happen as they happened in the timelines where the Destiny events take place. Q ensures that the Borg and the Federation meet, so Picard and Janeway both are forewarned and able to fulfil their roles. He also gives Janeway navigational information to nudge her toward the transwarp hub, with Janeway of the alternate future then allowing present Janeway to cripple the Borg ("Endgame") and provoke a full out attack a few years later - which is the key to stopping the Borg from passing the threshold of the unstoppable. Time travellers daren't mess with this because changing the events of 2381 leads to timelines where the Borg conquer the galaxy. However, because Janeway changed the past, the Omega Crisis that older alternate Janeway would have solved remains unresolved, and the universe is threatened that way, meaning there's need for a fix. In the Star Trek: Voyager Relaunch, Q finds it, but it costs him.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_e1836adf	comment	Andorians have a given name and a surname, with their surname containing a prefix indicating which of the four sexes they belong to. Shran's full "Imperial name" in the Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch books is Hravishran th'Zoarhi (he's a thaan), with his better-known full name Thy'lek Shran (originally referring to his Mirror Universe counterpart in the TV series) apparently being the Aenar translation of his non-Imperial, home-culture name. The character Kanshent Shelav, from a highly traditionalist branch of her clan, insists on using this (her native Dreshna name), even though Andoria officially registers her by her Imperial name, Trenkanshent sh’Lavan. Her cousin answers just as readily to Aranthanien ch’Revash as to Thanien Cherev. The four gender suffixes are th', sh', zh' or ch' (e.g. Thirishar ch'Thane, Sessethantis zh'Cheen or Kellarasana zh'Faila, whose shorter "familiar" names are Shar, Thantis and Kell - though the latter's Mirror Universe counterpart prefers Sana). An additional prefix for an outsider adopted into an Andorian clan was recently introduced. In all Andorian names, sibilants and lisping sounds are very common.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_e8e56799	comment	Blue-and-Orange Morality: The Manraloth, the Regnancy of the Carnelian Throne, the Pa'haquel, the Frills, the Indign, the Shesshran, the Bynars. None of these alien cultures can be seen as "bad", in fact they are all more-or-less benevolent, "decent" types, but their morality does differ considerably from that of most human societies, which can cause a few problems in dealing with them. The Manraloth's hat is skilled communication and manipulation, and they use these skills to aid in bringing peace to the galaxy. Their methods of doing so conflict with those of the Federation, and they are very, very sneaky and manipulative. Always, though, their intentions are good and noble. The same novel which introduced them also introduced another Blue and Orange Morality culture to the Star Trek universe: The Regnancy of the Carnelian Throne, whose citizens are metaphorically slaves to the Throne itself. They ritualistically "play along" with subjugation as part of their "enslavement" to the values it represents. Introduced in Star Trek: Ex Machina are the Shesshran, who operate somewhat differently from Humans, and most other races. They are unashamedly belligerent without apparent motive, and like shooting at things to say hello. They fantasise about killing their own children and generally behave in a bloodthirsty fashion. They're actually quite reasonable and honourable beings — it's just that they are naturally highly individualistic predators, with strong hunting instincts. They reject all hierarchies and authority, and view the universe through the eyes of a lone predator. The Pahkwa-thanh have always considered their prey animals sapient. They don't eat humanoids and "civilized" beings, not because they have an objection to it as such, but because it would be rude. Humanoids don't consider themselves part of nature; to eat them would be impolite, which Pahkwa-thanh are not. If you think you're prey, though, they'll happily eat you. The Frills are another more-or-less-friendly race that is happy to eat sapient prey. Both Frills and Pahkwa-thanh, it should be noted, are Federation members.

Star Trek Novel Verse / int_edcc813f	comment	Fantastic Caste System: A great many. Examples: The Shedai are divided between the ranks of the Nameless, each confined to only one body, and the elite Serrataal with individual names, e.g. The Maker, The Wanderer, The Myrmidon, who can take multiple forms simultaneously. As a result of the Quch'Ha plague seen in Star Trek: Enterprise season four, many Klingon families of the 22nd-23rd centuries lost their forehead ridges. A division between those who retained them and those who lost them resulted in an unofficial caste system within the Klingon Empire. The ridgeless Klingons - the Quch'Ha, or "unhappy ones" - were somewhat undesirable in the social hierarchy. Some Quch'Ha disguised their status with artificial foreheads. The Gorn caste system includes Political, Warrior, Technologist and Labourer castes. These have been distinct for so long that by now they're practically different subspecies. The Tzenkethi also have a caste system of sorts, with different echelons into which their citizens are placed after testing in youth. However, they dislike it when people use the term "caste system" to describe it. The Yrythny are divided between the Houseborn and the Wanderers. Yrythny breed by laying eggs in the water, which develop as tadpoles before coming ashore later in childhood. Those young which come ashore at the same House at which they were laid are Houseborn, and make up the ruling caste. "Wanderers" are considered inferior on account of having gotten "lost". Tensions between the castes are high, and a full-blown revolutionary war is threatening to erupt in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch. The Naxerans have three castes, named for mythological figures that also correspond to the stars and moons of their home system. The G'Dok are the clan of the stronger brother (and the first star), and rule the planet with a great deal of arrogance; the Leahru, clan of the weaker brother (and second sun), are subserviant and tread carefully around the G'Dok. Then there's the Efram, apparently wretched slaves who are seemingly identified with eclipse. The Orishans have a caste system developed by their mysterious Oracle. It involves (among others) Weavers to do the building, Dreamers to study science, and a Guardian caste to oversee the others and protect Orishan culture. Other races with caste systems include Balduk, Pandrilites, and Tholians.
