Common Drugs used on Star Trek

The hypospray is loaded with several common drugs. Here is a cross-section, along with their major efficacies.

CORDRAZINE – A powerful stimulant. Useful for waking unconscious patients, or as a general stimulant to keep patients awake. To be given in SMALL doses only, as overdose can cause cardiac problems or cause Dr. McCoy to go off the deep end and leap into Time Guardian portals.

NETINALINE – A less powerful stimulant used to revive unconscious patients. This substance should not be used while operating heavy machinery, or playing professional sports, as it WILL show up in a steroid/HGH test.

DEXALIN – Used to treat patients suffering from oxygen deprivation. This is a replacement for the older tri-ox compound, which I still keep around in case a crewman drinks too many Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters at Quark’s.

HYRONALIN – Synthetic drug used to treat radiation sickness in humanoids, also given as an immunization prior to exposure to radiation. Replaced adrenaline which was used prior to its discovery. NOTE: DO NOT administer this drug to “Furries”, as it can result in severe allergic reactions. Use ADRENALIN instead.

STERILITE – Anti-infective agent used during surgery and in the general treatment of wounds to produce rapid death of harmful microorganisms and parasitic agents.

ANESTHEZINE – Anesthizine was a fast-acting anesthetic, administered through environmental systems as a gas. It was considered among “the best,” along with axonol and neurozine, during the late 24th century. (VOY: “Message in a Bottle”) A concentration of seventy parts per million was typically enough to put a humanoid to sleep. (TNG: “The Hunted”)

Other popular drugs, Amelioratives, and medicines

Adrenaline Adrenaline (C9H13O3N), also known as epinephrine, is a Human hormone and neurotransmitter with powerful effects on the sympathetic nervous system. As a drug, it is used to treat radiation poisoning. Although by 2267 it had been replaced in clinical use by hyronalin, adrenaline was found to be effective in the treatment of an unknown radiation left over by particles originating from a comet that passed near Gamma Hydra IV. The radiation had caused an hyperacceleration of the aging process. (TOS: “The Deadly Years”)

During the USS Enterprise’s 2267 visit to Gamma Hydra IV to check up on its colonists, it was discovered that they had all died of hyperaccelerated aging. Ensign Pavel Chekov discovered a dead body and it had startled him, causing adrenaline to be released into his system. The adrenaline protected him from the radiation sickness. Doctor Leonard McCoy figured out the adrenaline connection and synthesized an adrenaline hypo shot for the rest of the infected crew. (TOS: “The Deadly Years”)

On stardate 1512.2, navigator Bailey mentioned to Spock that his raising of his voice did not indicate that he was scared, but that he just had a human thing called “an adrenaline gland”. Spock remarked that it was most inconvenient and suggested that he have his removed. (TOS: “The Corbomite Maneuver”)

ADTH ADTH is a stimulant which can be dispersed through a starship’s life support systems.

In 2367, Lieutenant Commander Data put five parts per million of ADTH into the airflow of the USS Enterprise-D to wake the crew after they had been stunned by the Paxans’ fake wormhole. (TNG: “Clues”)

Alcohol Alcohol (chemical designation ethyl alcohol or ethanol) is a colorless, liquid chemical, usually the by-product of fermenting sugar. Alcohol is a powerful psychoactive drug with intoxicating effects in humanoids.

Alcohol is often replaced by synthehol, which carries all the properties of alcohol, but without the deleterious effects. When mixed with a theragen derivative, it blocks certain nerve impulses to the brain and can be used to treat the “madness” caused by exposure to interphase. (TOS: “The Tholian Web”)

In 2374, an unnamed lifeform, having newly stolen Tom Paris’ form, replicated five alcoholic beverages in USS Voyager’s mess hall and became thoroughly intoxicated. (VOY: “Vis à Vis”)

Jean-Luc Picard confiscated an alcoholic liquid called Dresci from Captain Dirgo while marooned on Lambda Paz. He observed that while the alcohol would advance dehydration if consumed, it could be useful as a coolant or disinfectant. (TNG: “Final Mission”)

Alizine Alizine is a medicine used to counter an allergic reaction in Klingons. This was one of the facts Kathryn Janeway remembered from her Academy course on Klingon Physiology. (VOY: “Darkling”)

Alkysine Alkysine is a drug used to lessen the damage to neurological tissue after a catastrophic injury. It is not always effective for all injuries and on all species.

Dr. Beverly Crusher tried using an alkysine treatment on Lieutenant Worf following his spinal cord injury in 2368, but the medication was unsuccessful. (TNG: “Ethics”)

Alpha-wave inducer An alpha-wave inducer is a substance or device used as a sleep aid. It functions by easing the introduction of alpha waves into the brain. It is only meant for occasional use.

Ty Kajada used an alpha-wave inducer while on Deep Space 9 when she had trouble sleeping. (DS9: “The Passenger”)

Ambizine Ambizine was an injectable drug used as a sedative.

In 2376, Tom Paris used ambizine to sedate Dala while other crewmembers of the USS Voyager executed a plan to find out where her crew had hidden their loot. (VOY: “Live Fast and Prosper”)

Analeptic An analeptic (or analeptic compound) is a drug that counteracts the effects of radiation. In 2373, Neelix took some analeptic compounds with him on a mission to a Nezu colony planet being bombarded by asteroids. (VOY: “Rise”)

The Malon use analeptic compounds to ameliorate the cellular degradation caused by theta radiation exposure. In 2375, Fesek treated B’Elanna Torres with analeptic compounds during a mission to prevent a malfunctioning Malon freighter from exploding. (VOY: “Juggernaut”)

When the USS Voyager was split into different timeframes in 2377 by a chrono-kinetic surge, Tom Paris ordered that analeptics be given to crew members suffering from radiation poisoning once the netrazine ran out. (VOY: “Shattered”)

Analgesic An analgesic was a drug used to relieve pain without inducing a loss of consciousness. Analgesics were often used to treat headaches and to relieve pain induced by mild bruising to severe injury. (VOY: “Critical Care”, “Tsunkatse”, ENT: “Observer Effect”)

When ordered to create a diversion to slow down a Borg invasion of the USS Enterprise-E, the EMH in the Enterprise’s sickbay offered the intruding Borg drones an analgesic skin cream to combat skin irritation caused by their implants. (Star Trek: First Contact)

The Doctor begrudgingly gave B’Elanna Torres an analgesic when she complained of a bad headache in 2373.(VOY: “The Swarm”)

Anesthesia Anesthesia is the complete or partial loss of sensation induced by anesthetic drugs. Anesthetic drugs were strong sedative drugs used to numb a patient’s sensation to pain to induce a deep sleep immediately prior to medical treatment, such as surgery. Anesthetics could be applied in varying degrees and forms depending on the patient’s health and requirement of the medical procedure.

Anesthetics were typically administered intravenously into the patient’s bloodstream with a hypospray or syringe. (VOY: “Critical Care”) Anesthetics also existed in gaseous form and could be administered on a large scale through a ship’s ventilation system. An example of the last occurred when The Doctor and the USS Prometheus’ EMH Mark II released Neurozine gas to incapacitate Romulan Tal Shiar agents who had stolen the vessel. (VOY: “Message in a Bottle”)

Anesthetic agents included:

Anesthesia gas Anesthizine Anetrizine Axonol Hyvroxilated quint-ethyl metacetamin Melenex Methohexital Nasal numbing agent Neurazine gas Neurozine

Anesthesia gas Anesthesia gas was an anesthetic drug available – in gaseous form – on Constitution-class vessels in the 23rd century.

In 2267, Commander Spock and Captain James T. Kirk flooded almost all decks on the USS Enterprise with anesthesia gas to retake the ship from Khan Noonien Singh and his group of Augments. (TOS: “Space Seed”)

Anesthizine Anesthizine was a fast-acting anesthetic, administered through environmental systems as a gas. It was considered among “the best,” along with axonol and neurozine, during the late 24th century. (VOY: “Message in a Bottle”) A concentration of seventy parts per million was typically enough to put a humanoid to sleep. (TNG: “The Hunted”)

Anetrizine Anetrizine was an anesthetic medication.

In 2374, The Doctor used twenty ccs of anetrizine to anesthetize Seven of Nine’s cranial nerves. (VOY: “The Gift”)

Animazine Animazine is a stimulant used to keep a person awake.

In 2374, The Doctor recommended giving large doses of animazine to the crew of the USS Voyager to keep them awake. He gave Commander Chakotay an animazine derivative to use to stay awake, but Chakotay instead used it on a member of the dream species who were affecting the Voyager crew. (VOY: “Waking Moments”)

Anjoran bio-mimetic gel Anjoran bio-mimetic gel was a type of bio-mimetic gel that was valued as a commodity.

In 2370, Commander Riker offered Captain Yog one half gram of Anjoran bio-mimetic gel for five hundred kilograms of magnesite ore. (TNG: “Firstborn”)

It is not stated if “Anjoran” is a species, or a certain type of bio-mimetic gel. It is likely a specific way of producing it, as bio-mimetic gel was strictly policed by the Federation, who were the only ones capable to producing it. (DS9: “Distant Voices”, “In the Pale Moonlight”)

Antacid An antacid is a form of medication that helps alleviate acute functional dyspepsia (heartburn).

When Neelix made up Rodeo Red’s Red-Hot, Rootin’-Tootin’ Chili, several crewmembers received heartburn, thus requiring Tom Paris to replicate an antacid for them. (VOY: “Message in a Bottle”)

Anti-intoxicant An anti-intoxicant is a medicine that allows one to drink alcohol without experiencing the effects of intoxication. In 2153, Doctor Phlox gave Captain Archer an anti-intoxicant so that he could withstand the effects of the Andorian ale which he was drinking with Degra, in an attempt to get Degra to give up information on the Xindi superweapon. (ENT: “Stratagem”)

Benjamin Sisko and his infiltration team treated themselves with anti-intoxicants before attending the induction festivities for the Order of the Bat’leth, a celebration where copious amounts of Klingon bloodwine are traditionally consumed. Without the drug, Worf claimed that they would have been so drunk they wouldn’t have been able to stand. (DS9: “Apocalypse Rising”)

Antibiotic A antibiotic is a chemotherapeutic drug used to inhibit or abolish microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, or protozoa.

In late 2000, Shannon O’Donnell called the nonexistence of antibiotics one downside of the classical age, but Henry Janeway replied that this had caused families to care for each other. (VOY: “11:59”)

In early 2375, Doctor Julian Bashir was to give Quark an antibiotic for an ear infection. (DS9: “Afterimage”)

Anticoagulant An anticoagulant is a substance that delays or prevents the clotting of blood.

Jem’Hadar disruptors incorporate an anticoagulant into the energy stream; this prevents wounds inflicted by the weapon from healing. (DS9: “The Ship”, “Change of Heart”)

Aphrodisiac Aphrodisiac refers to a number of compounds that produce heightened sexual desire and awareness in some humanoid species.

According to William T. Riker, an aphrodisiac is “something used to stimulate or enhance sexual pleasure”. Data was not familiar with the term. (TNG: “Angel One”)

Humans have, at various times, used aphrodisiacs including the ground horn of a rhinoceros. (ENT: “Fight or Flight”)

Certain cultures consider perfume an aphrodisiac. (TNG: “Angel One”)

In 2373, Quark attempted to smuggle the illegal aphrodisiac Regalian liquid crystal onto Deep Space 9. (DS9: “The Ship”)

Arithrazine Arithrazine was a medication used for the most extreme cases of theta radiation poisoning. According to Starfleet Medical protocols, a doctor has to monitor the patient who has received arithrazine during treatment.

When the USS Voyager encountered the Omega molecule in the Delta Quadrant, Captain Janeway intended to go out and destroy the molecule after receiving arithrazine by The Doctor. As he could not monitor her, he initially refused to give the medication, but she overruled him with the Omega Directive. The arithrazine was later used to inoculate rescue team members on a mission to destroy the Omega molecules. (VOY: “The Omega Directive”)

Asinolyathin Asinolyathin is an analgesic pain medicine. It is used specifically for muscle spasms. (DS9: “Visionary”)

Axonol Axonol was a medicine that could be dispersed in gaseous form, as a crowd-control anesthetic, by the Federation and Starfleet.

On the USS Prometheus, it was one of three agents recommended for use at the behest of the Emergency Medical Hologram Mark II, the other two being anesthezine and neurozine. (VOY: “Message in a Bottle”)

Antigen An antigen is a substance or molecule that elicits an immune response. Antigens are frequently peptides or carbohydrates derived either from the host (“self-antigens” or “autoantigens”) or from pathogens such as bacteria or viruses. Antigens are presented on the surface of cells by specialized protein complexes in a manner that elicits either an antibody response or a cytotoxic effector cell response.

Doctor Julian Bashir administered an antigen to several Teplan patients in late 2372, hoping it would help cure the Teplan blight. Although it was later determined injecting patients with antigens would not cure them of the Dominion-created disease, the antigen was able to allow the children of the Teplans to be immune, as the antigen was absorbed by the placenta, and could prevent them from developing the blight. (DS9: “The Quickening”)

In 2373, The Doctor created a synthetic antigen to treat the macrovirus outbreak on USS Voyager. Although the original plan was to release the antigen via the ship’s environmental systems, when the Tak Tak attacked Voyager to prevent the spread of the virus, causing damage to the ship’s power systems, Captain Janeway had to improvise, creating a holodeck simulation to lure the virus into one place. With the virus contained in one area, Janeway threw an antigen bomb into the holodeck, destroying the virus. (VOY: “Macrocosm”)

Benjisidrine Benjisisrinde was a cardiovascular drug used to treat Vulcans who suffered from congestive heart failure.

This drug was prescribed for Sarek, Spock’s father, who suffered from congestive heart failure; however, his condition became too advanced for medical therapy alone, and surgery was required. (TOS: “Journey to Babel”)

Benzethonium chloride In 2151, following a rock climbing accident on Risa, Ensign Travis Mayweather was given bezethonium chloride at a Risan hospital. He turned out to be highly allergic to it, and suffered from swelling that threatened to constrict his airway. (ENT: “Two Days and Two Nights”)

Benzocyatizine Benzocyatizine is type of medication used to treat low serum isoboramine levels in Trill patients.

In 2371, Jadzia Dax’s isoboramine level began to decline when the Dax symbiont experienced flashbacks of a previous host, Joran Belar, as a result of the failure of a memory block. To compensate (and in an attempt to hide the truth regarding Trill symbionts), Doctor Renhol put Jadzia Dax on a regimen of benzocyatizine. This treatment, however, did not work. (DS9: “Equilibrium”)

Bicaridine Bicaridine is an analgesic medication often used as a substitute for metorapan.

In 2368, Wesley Crusher was treated with bicaridine instead of metorapan because he was allergic to metorapan. (TNG: “The First Duty”)

Bio-mimetic gel Bio-mimetic gel was a liquid substance used in the study of genetics that was highly regulated as contraband by Federation law. Its sale was forbidden, and it could be hazardous if not transported correctly. (DS9: “Distant Voices”) Its applications included the creation of biogenic weapons and organic explosives, as well as illegal genetic and cloning experiments. (DS9: “In the Pale Moonlight”) Even attempting to obtain the substance was a felony in the Federation. (DS9: “Distant Voices”)

Due to its restricted nature, bio-mimetic gel was rare and valuable. In 2370, the USS Fleming was carrying this substance through the Hekaras Corridor when it was disabled. In the initial stages of the investigation by the USS Enterprise-D, Dr. Crusher hypothesized that the Fleming may have been hijacked for its cargo. (TNG: “Force of Nature”)

That same year, Ro Laren lied to the Maquis, telling them that a Ferengi transport came to the Demilitarized Zone to deliver bio-mimetic gel. She also claimed the substance was legal. (TNG: “Preemptive Strike”)

Borathium Borathium was a new rybotherapy developed by Doctor Toby Russell in 2368. She believed it to be decades more advanced than two related medications, leporazine and morathial, although it was still in the experimental stages at the time.

She used the drug on a seriously-injured survivor of the USS Denver disaster in 2368, although morathial may have been effective. The survivor later died from neural metaphasic shock, but Russell was content with the fact that she gained valuable data which would allow her to improve borathium. She felt she was justified in sacrificing one patient to potentially save thousands in the future. Dr. Beverly Crusher was not happy with Dr. Russell’s decision, and relieved her of medical duty aboard the USS Enterprise-D following the incident. (TNG: “Ethics”)

Caffeine The removal of caffeine from beverages has plagued bartenders and restauranteurs for centuries! You can’t expect me to solve it overnight!” – Quark (DS9: “Nor the Battle to the Strong”) Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) is a stimulant present in a variety of foods and beverages, including coffee and raktajino. It can be somewhat addictive to most humanoids (excluding Vulcans) if consumed on a regular basis. For centuries bartenders and manufacturers have tried unsuccessfully to create a suitable substitute.

According to Charles Tucker, Zariphean tea had enough caffeine in it to keep a Human awake for three days straight. (ENT: “Breaking the Ice”)

As of the 24th century, there was yet to be a decaffeinated raktajino with a decent taste. Quark’s attempt to create such a beverage for Major Kira during her pregnancy with Miles and Keiko O’Brien’s son failed miserably. Had he succeeded, the new concoction would have been called “Quarktajino”. (DS9: “Nor the Battle to the Strong”)

Cateline Cateline is a drug that can cause a simulated anaphylactic shock. It was used by The Doctor to render B’Elanna Torres unconscious as she had discovered a malfunction of his program. (VOY: “Darkling”)

Cervaline Cervaline was a drug that was used to fend off rejection of transplanted organs or tissue.

In order for Denara Pel’s Vidiian brain to accept the graft of Klingon neural tissue, The Doctor determined that she had to receive 500 milligrams of cervaline every four hours. (VOY: “Lifesigns”)

Chloraxine Chloraxine is a chemical substance which is lethal in a sufficient dosage.

In 2151, the Starfleet crew of the prototype NX-class starship Enterprise discovered an Axanar vessel. At least one member of the Axanar crew was killed by a lethal dosage of chloraxine. (ENT: “Fight or Flight”)

Chloromydride Chloromydride is a strong cardiostimulant, generally used when inaprovaline is ineffective.

When Worf began to go into cardiac arrest following surgery involving the genitronic replicator in 2368, Dr. Beverly Crusher ordered him to be injected with fifteen ccs of chloromydride. (TNG: “Ethics”)

Chronexaline Chronexaline was a drug under development at Starfleet Medical in the year 2404, designed to protect biomatter from tachyon radiation.

In that year, Admiral Kathryn Janeway requested 2,000 milligrams from The Doctor, in order to protect her from the harmful side effects of the chronodeflector, a time travel-device which she subsequently used to travel to 2378 and change history, returning the USS Voyager to Earth sixteen years earlier than it would have without the admiral’s intervention. (VOY: “Endgame”)

Coenzyme A coenzyme is a biological molecule that facilitates enzymatic actions. They can be used to slow the progress of chromovirus.

On the Dinaali Hospital Ship 4-2 in 2377, Doctor Voje informed The Doctor that Tebbis’ chromoviral infection had worsened rapidly because his coenzyme allottment had been reduced, due to his low treatment coefficient. (VOY: “Critical Care”)

Colgonite astringent Colgonite astringent is a cosmetic application reputed to be particularly intense.

Beverly Crusher treated herself to the treatment in 2367 during a romantic interlude with Odan. (TNG: “The Host”)

Contraception injection The contraception injection was a form of birth control used in the Federation. The medicine had to be administered regularly, otherwise sexual intercourse could lead to fertilization and pregnancy.

During negotiations with the Gideon, Captain Kirk proposed that the Federation could provide any type of devices they needed to safely prevent conception. (TOS: “The Mark of Gideon”)

In 2375, Benjamin Sisko, preoccupied by the latter stages of the Dominion War, forgot to renew his injection, despite repeated reminders from his CMO, Julian Bashir. As a result, his wife, Kasidy Yates, became pregnant with their child, the couple’s first. (DS9: “The Dogs of War”)

Cordafin Cordafin is a drug that can be used as a stimulant.

In 2374, Tim Watters took cordafin stimulants for two months while in command of the USS Valiant. (DS9: “Valiant”)

Cordrazine Cordrazine was a strong chemical stimulant useful for emergency medical treatment. It was primarily used to stimulate the heart during cardiac arrest. The drug was a red liquid and was injected with a hypospray. In 2267, Captain Kirk noted that cordrazine was “tricky stuff,” (TOS: “The City on the Edge of Forever”) but by the 24th century, it had become ubiquitous and was being used by physicians in much higher doses than in Kirk’s day. (TNG; DS9; VOY)

History Edit Hikaru Sulu upon treatment with cordrazine Hikaru Sulu, suffering from heart flutter after being shocked by the bridge console while passing through a time displacement, was revived by a few drops of cordrazine. Dr. Leonard McCoy then suffered an extreme overdose when he accidentally injected an excessive amount of the chemical into his body. (TOS: “The City on the Edge of Forever”)

Dr. McCoy also used one cc of cordrazine to revive Rizzo to consciousness. (TOS: “Obsession”)

A more potent form of cordrazine, called tricordrazine, is commonly used in resuscitation in the 24th century. Dr. Beverly Crusher attempted to use tricordrazine to revive Worf after he went into heart failure, following a risky surgery using the genitronic replicator to repair his damaged spinal column. (TNG: “Ethics”)

In 2369, Dr. Crusher told her staff to prepare a cordrazine series for Jean-Luc Picard after his artificial heart was damaged and the captain was failing fast. (TNG: “Tapestry”)

In 2371, Bareil Antos was given two ccs of cordrazine by Julian Bashir and Jabara. Bashir himself was given four ccs of cordrazine several weeks later, after being placed in a coma following Altovar’s attack. (DS9: “Life Support”, “Distant Voices”)

The Doctor used two ccs of cordrazine to revive Harry Kim after he was killed by a Vhnori cenotaph. (VOY: “Emanations”)

On “Planet Hell” in 2372, Neelix suggested that Tom Paris administer cordrazine to an ailing repto-humanoid infant. (VOY: “Parturition”)

Bashir gave cordrazine to several Teplans in 2372, hoping to alleviate the pain caused by the Dominion’s Teplan blight. Epran and Ekoria were among those given the drug, although the former had stopped responding to it before he died. Bashir was concerned that the high level of the drug he’d administered to Ekoria might be hard on her baby’s metabolism. (DS9: “The Quickening”)

The Doctor used fifty milligrams of cordrazine to stabilize Tuvok in 2373 when a gaseous anomaly unearthed repressed memories in Tuvok. (VOY: “Flashback”)

Corophizine Corophizine was an antibiotic drug that was usually used to prevent secondary infections.

Doctor Julian Bashir gave Chief Miles O’Brien thirty cc’s of corophizine to lower his fever when he suffered from the aphasia virus but it was unsuccessful. (DS9: “Babel”)

Cortical analeptic A cortical analeptic was a type of drug administered via hypospray, used to reinvigorate tissue in the cerebral cortex.

The Doctor had Kes prepare several doses of the drug while he prepared to perform motor cortex reconstruction surgery on Tom Paris in 2373. (VOY: “The Swarm”)

Cortical suppressant A cortical suppressant is a drug that inhibits certain types of activity in the humanoid brain.

In 2376, The Doctor administered a cortical suppressant to Abaddon to protect him from the sentient starship Alice, who had caused him to suffer a cerebral hemorrhage through her neurogenic interface. (VOY: “Alice”)

Cortolin Cortolin was a drug that was helpful in resuscitating patients who had stopped breathing.

In 2370, Doctor Julian Bashir administered 10 ccs of cortolin to Quark after the latter had been wounded by a compressed tetryon beam weapon. (DS9: “Necessary Evil”)

Cortropine Cortropine was a stimulant included in standard-issue Starfleet medkits.

Dr. McCoy utilized cortropine to overcome symptoms of weakness experienced by the landing party on Taurus II. (TAS: “The Lorelei Signal”)

CPK enzymatic therapy CPK enzymatic therapy is a medical treatment used to limit the extent of neurological damage after a catastrophic injury. The therapy is not completely effective for all injuries or all species, such as Klingons.

Dr. Beverly Crusher tried CPK enzymatic therapy on Lieutenant Worf following his spinal cord injury in 2368, but his condition did not improve. (TNG: “Ethics”)

Cryptobiolin Crytobiolin was a chemical that was used by the Angosians during the Tarsian War to enhance their soldiers’ abilities in battle.

Known soldiers who were given the drug include Roga Danar. (TNG: “The Hunted”)

Cytogenic Cytogenics are a type of drug.

The con artist Gar once sold a supply of cytogenics to Administrator Chellick of the Dinaali Hospital Ship 4-2, though they were useless due to expired expired lots and diluted samples. Thus, Chellick was disinterested when Gar offered him another supply in 2377. (VOY: “Critical Care”)

Cytoglobin Cytoglobin was a drug that was used to treat chromoviral infections and arterial aging.

In the 24th century, cytoglobin was in short supply on the Dinaali homeworld. In 2377, the Allocator of Hospital Ship 4-2 was prioritizing cytoglobin to prevent arterial aging in high-TC patients on Level Blue, while denying it to low-TC chromoviral patients on Level Red. Daily injections with the substance increased life expectancy up to 40%.

The Doctor, who had been stolen and sold to the Dinaali by Gar, found this situation appalling, as cytoglobin that could have been used to save lives were instead being used on preventative treatments.

At first, The Doctor attempted to smuggle cytoglobin from Level Blue to Level Red. However, after his friend Tebbis died from chromovirus, he resorted to infecting the hospital administrator, Chellick, with chromovirus in order to force him to divert cytoglobin from Level Blue. (VOY: “Critical Care”)

Cytokinetic injection A cytokinetic injection was a drug that enhances cellular activity.

In 2375, The Doctor used a cytokinetic injection to trigger a genetic reversion in the corpse of “David Gentry”, causing the body to change back into its original form of a Species 8472. (VOY: “In the Flesh”)

Dalaphaline

Dalaphaline was a systemic stimulant drug.

In 2270, Doctor Chapel used five ccs to strengthen Spock after his mind meld with V’Ger, which had caused him some neurological trauma. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

Delactovine Delactovine was a systemic stimulant drug.

In 2368, Doctor Crusher tried to use delactovine to keep Captain Picard alive when his connection to the Kataan probe was severed. However, no medical method could stabilize Picard’s condition, so the USS Enterprise-D crew had to allow the probe’s beam to reconnect with the captain again. (TNG: “The Inner Light”)

Dermal osmotic sealant Dermal osmotic sealant is a medication used to protect humanoids from high levels of trigemic vapors. (VOY: “Parturition”)

Dermaline Dermaline was an injectable drug used to prevent sunburns.

In 2376, Neelix was so excited to be on a beautiful Norcadian beach that he forgot to take his dermaline injection and ended up getting severe burns. (VOY: “Tsunkatse”)

Dermaline gel Dermaline gel is made from dermaline and used as a treatment for first and second degree burns, such as those in injuries caused by a ruptured nitrogen line.

Doctor Phlox used dermaline gel to treat an engineer who received first degree burns when a nitrogen valve seal blew in 2151. (ENT: “Dear Doctor”)

In 2372, Kes was told by The Doctor to treat a crewman’s second degree burns with dermaline gel. (VOY: “Deadlock”)

Dermatiraelian plastiscine Dermatiraelian plasticine was a dermal regenerative agent used to maintain skin resilience after large-scale cosmetic surgery.

The fact that Aamin Marritza had taken large doses of the compound was part of the evidence that he had been surgically altered to resemble Gul Darhe’el in order to come to Bajor and expiate Darhe’el’s crimes. (DS9: “Duet”)

Desegranine Desegranine was a Cardassian drug used to reverse memory loss.

The drug was used by the Obsidian Order during the 24th century to help its undercover agents remember their true identities. When used, memories began to resurface within a few hours.

Corbin Entek administered a dosage of desegranine to Kira Nerys in 2371, in a failed attempt to revive the non-existent memories of Iliana Ghemor. (DS9: “Second Skin”)

Dexalin Dexalin is used in the treatment of oxygen deprivation.

In 2368, Dr. Beverly Crusher treated two J’naii survivors from the shuttlecraft Taris Murn for oxygen deprivation with dexalin. (TNG: “The Outcast”)

Dylamadon Dylamadon is a sedative that can simulate death in an individual.

In 2369, Counselor Deanna Troi was given dylamadon in order to trick Ves Alkar into breaking his detrimental psychological link with her. (TNG: “Man of the People”)

Dylovene Dylovene is a broad-spectrum antitoxin carried in 2260s Starfleet medkits.

On stardate 5554.4, Dr. McCoy used dylovene in an attempt to treat Sulu when he was poisoned by a retlaw plant. (TAS: “The Infinite Vulcan”)

Elasian tears Elasian tears, secreted by Elasian females, contained a biochemical compound transmittable to Elasian (and Human) males. Upon skin contact, men became romantically infatuated and somewhat enthralled to the woman who infected them.

Men of Elas tried for centuries to dispel the tears’ “mystical powers” without success. Troyian Ambassador Petri said of the phenomenon, “A man whose flesh is once touched by the tears of a woman of Elas has his heart enslaved forever.”

In 2268, Captain James T. Kirk was infected by the tears of Elaan, the Dohlman of Elas. Although he was visibly affected and drawn to Elaan, he managed to overcome the tears’ more compelling effects in a short time – just as Dr. Leonard McCoy believed a cure was within reach as they acted like an infection. First Officer Spock speculated that the USS Enterprise was all the antidote Kirk needed for Elasian tears. (TOS: “Elaan of Troyius”)

Felicium Felicium originated as a vaccine for a plague that existed on Brekka’s neighboring planet, Ornara. The vaccine was supplied by the Brekkians in exchange for goods. Even after the plague was over the Ornarans had unknowingly become addicted to the vaccine, the terrible withdrawal symptoms leading them to think they were still affected by the disease, and Brekka continued to produce it for them in a profitable business. As years passed the Brekkians refined the drug to make it more and more potent.

The euphoria seemed to be somewhat sedative and pain relieving, similar to planet Earth’s opiates. (TNG: “Symbiosis”)

Felodesine chip The felodesine chip was a small poison tablet used by members of the Romulan military to commit suicide. It was usually formed into a small, one-inch orange disk. There was no antidote known to the Federation.

Alidar Jarok committed suicide by ingesting a felodesine chip in 2366. (TNG: “The Defector”)

Formazine Formazine is a stimulant, acting through the lymphatic system on the central nervous system. Normally used to promote alertness and reduce fatigue, in higher doses it can cause severe restlessness and irritability. (TOS: “By Any Other Name”)

Glucagon Glucagon is a naturally-occurring hormone in Humans. Administered as a drug, glucagon is used to treat hypoglycemia or beta-blocker overdose. Glucagon causes glycogenolysis, a breakdown of glycogen stored in the liver into glucose.

In 2024, Doctor Bashir tried to get Lee some GlucaGen (a trade name brand of glucagon widely available in the 20th and 21st century). (DS9: “Past Tense, Part II”)

Hexatriol Hexatriol was a medication used to treat serious plasma burns.

In 2152, E’lis, a medic at a deuterium mining camp, took a package of hexatriol from the Enterprise NX-01’s sickbay, as part of an agreement between the miners and the Enterprise crew. (ENT: “Marauders”)

Hydrocortilene Hydrocortilene was an analgesic medication used during the 24th century to alleviate pain, specifically headaches.

In 2373, The Doctor used a hypospray with 3% hydrocortilene to treat Lieutenant B’Elanna Torres’s headache. (VOY: “The Swarm”)

Hyperzine Hyperzine was a standard stimulant.

In 2370, Dr. Julian Bashir administered two twenty-cc doses of hyperzine to Elim Garak to counter the seizures caused by his cranial implant. (DS9: “The Wire”)

Hyronalin Hyronalin was a medicinal drug used to counter the effects of radiation poisoning. Adrenaline was the preferred treatment shortly after Earth’s atomic age, but hyronalin replaced it after its discovery. (TOS: “The Deadly Years”)

In 2367, hyronalin was used to protect the crew of the USS Enterprise-D from radiation poisoning when a three-hundred-year-old garbage scow was discovered. Doctor Crusher and her staff mass-replicated the drug and prepared to coordinate with Gamelan V’s physicians in the administration of it. These actions were taken in response to projected radiation levels that would mostly have affected a trio of islands on the planet. (TNG: “Final Mission”)

The following year, Crusher and La Forge required a few days of hyronalin treatment after exposure to plasma fire radiation. (TNG: “Disaster”)

In 2371, Doctor Julian Bashir used hyronalin to treat Chief Miles O’Brien’s radiation poisoning. (DS9: “Visionary”)

In 2373, The Doctor inoculated Tom Paris temporarily against radiation poisoning from an astral eddy with a combination of hyronalin and lectrazine. (VOY: “Real Life”)

Hyvroxilated quint-ethyl metacetamin Hyvroxilated quint-ethyl metacetamin was an anesthetic.

When consumed in quantities of seventeen milligrams in about a half-liter of water (approximately 30 to 40 parts per million), it would render a Human barely able to stand.

In 2370, Quark tried to fix a racquetball match between Julian Bashir and Miles O’Brien by attempting to drug the doctor with a herbal beverage consisting of water, sucrose, dextrose, general root extract, grain particulates, yeast, synthehol and the substance. Bashir was unamused. (DS9: “Rivals”)

Immunosuppressant Immunosuppressants are a type of drug used to limit the response of the immune system in humanoids.

To help William T. Riker’s body to accept the Odan symbiont, Dr. Beverly Crusher administered an immunosuppressant to combat the symptoms of Riker’s body rejecting the symbiont. (TNG: “The Host”)

Impedrezene Impedrezene was a narcotic that impeded one’s ability by slowing down the higher brain cell functions. The drug could last for hours in Humans. It attacked neuro-cognitive motor function by suppressing higher cognitive abilities. Extreme headaches were associated with use of this drug after the effects had worn off. (VOY: “Alliances”, “Investigations”)

Improvoline Improvoline was a standard sedative in 2373.

At one point in that year, The Doctor attempted to give Lon Suder five ccs of improvoline to calm Suder down, but Suder refused. (VOY: “Basics, Part II”)

Inaprovaline Inaprovaline was a synaptic stimulant and cardiostimulant. It worked by fortifying the cell membranes and could be used as a preventative measure or in response to various physical illness. Chloromydride was a stronger version of inaprovaline.

In 2151, while exploring an uncharted M-class planet, several of the crew of Enterprise became affected by tropolisine. Doctor Phlox discovered that inaprovaline, combined with being removed from the pollen-saturated environment, would allow the delusional effects of tropolisine to dissipate. (ENT: “Strange New World”)

Also in 2151, while the crew of the Vahklas was aboard the Enterprise, T’Pol went to bed without meditating. Her dreams were unsettling and she was agitated upon awaking, so she asked Doctor Phlox for 25 milligrams of inaprovaline to calm her nerves. (ENT: “Fusion”)

In 2366, the Zalkonian “John Doe” crash-landed on a planet and was rescued by the USS Enterprise-D. Suffering from low autonomic responses, Dr. Beverly Crusher gave “John Doe” sixty ccs of inaprovaline. (TNG: “Transfigurations”)

When Worf began to lose brain function following his surgery involving the genitronic replicator in 2368, Dr. Beverly Crusher injected him with forty ccs of inaprovaline and then seventy-five ccs more. The drug did not have an effect, forcing her to try chloromydride. (TNG: “Ethics”)

When Jean-Luc Picard was injured by a Lenarian at a diplomatic conference in 2369, Dr. Crusher injected him with forty ccs of inaprovaline. (TNG: “Tapestry”)

Infra-sensory drugs Infra-sensory drugs were specialized therapeutic chemical compounds utilized in the treatment of psychiatric disorders.

In 2266, the USS Enterprise delivered a shipment of infra-sensory drugs to Doctor Tristan Adams, director of the Tantalus V penal colony. (TOS: “Dagger of the Mind”)

Inpedrezine Inpedrezine is a drug.

In 2371, a representation of Benjamin Sisko Julian Bashir encountered in his mind following a Lethean telepathic attack told a nurse to give a patient inpedrezine. (DS9: “Distant Voices”)

Intraspinal inhibitor An intraspinal inhibitor was a drug which induced paralysis by inhibiting the signals in the spinal cord.

In 2373, The Doctor injected Lieutenant Torres with an intraspinal inhibiting drug after he malfunctioned when attempting to enhance his personality subroutines. (VOY: “Darkling”)

Invernian herb Invernian herb is a medicinal herb located in remote areas of Invernia II.

In 2351, a young Julian Bashir and his father witnessed the death of a native Ivernian girl who, unknown to them, could have been saved by the Ivernian herb. This incident led Julian Bashir to a career in medicine. (DS9: “Melora”)

Ipecac Ipecac is a purple-tinted drug in liquid form which, when ingested, causes severe gastric distress in Humans. Ipacac is easy to conceal, and appears to dissolve very quickly in room-temperature liquids.

Ipecac was used by Doctor Julian Bashir to poison a drink in a holosuite program in Quark’s on Deep Space 9, part of an elaborate ruse staged by station personnel to defeat a jack-in-the-box subroutine planted in the “Vic’s lounge” holoprogram by its creator, Felix. (DS9: “Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang”)

In present-day medicine, ipecac (often called “syrup of ipecac”) is used as a purgative, to induce vomiting.

Isoboramine Isoboramine (also spelled as isoboromine) is a neurotransmitter in Trill physiology which regulated the connections between the host and the symbiont. Low isoboramine levels were harmful and could be fatal to the host and/or symbiont, so if isoboramine levels dropped below 40%, then the symbiont was removed. This would kill the host, but any joined Trill would willingly sacrifice themselves in order to save their symbiont.

Official records at the Trill Symbiosis Commission stated that in 2285, when Torias Dax was in a shuttle accident, he was placed in a coma. He was left in a vegetative state until his isoboramine levels eventually fell below 40% and the symbiont had to be removed. In actuality, the symbiont had been transferred to Joran Belar.

In 2371, Jadzia Dax’s isoboramine levels fell dangerously low when a chemical memory blocker was wearing off in the Dax symbiont. (DS9: “Equilibrium”)

Isomorphic injection An isomorphic injection was a drug used by Species 8472 during their operation to infiltrate Starfleet in 2375. The injections maintained the genetic alterations that allowed them to masquerade as Alpha Quadrant species. (VOY: “In the Flesh”)

Katyllian clove The Katyllian clove was a plant from the Delta Quadrant that was used as an herb.

A Talaxian theta radiation remedy called for crushed Rama leaf and Katyllian cloves, though the mixture also triggered a gag reflex. Neelix made some in 2375 while preparing to board a disabled Malon freighter. (VOY: “Juggernaut”)

Kayolane Kayolane is a sedative which causes unconsciousness for several hours.

In 2367, Dr. Beverly Crusher gave Susanna Leijten a hypospray of ten ccs of kayolane after her blood chemistry was altered by alien retro-DNA and she began to exhibit strange behavior. (TNG: “Identity Crisis”)

Kelotane Kelotane is a drug used to treat burns.

In 2371, Seska received a three cc dose of kelotane after being burned aboard a Kazon starship. (VOY: “State of Flux”)

Ketracel-white Ketracel-white (or simply white) is an addictive narcotic containing an isogenic enzyme and nutrients. One of the active ingredients of white is yridium bicantizine. The Jem’Hadar soldiers of the Dominion were genetically engineered to lack the enzyme which white provides, and require frequent doses of the drug to survive. The white also provided all the nutrients they required, alleviating them of the need to eat or drink.

Without white, Jem’Hadar soldiers suffered withdrawal symptoms including pain, anxiety, loss of mental control, and inability to “shroud”; eventually the Jem’Hadar spiral into homicidal insanity. First killing their enemies followed by their allies, they would inevitably turn on each other. Ultimately, their entire genetic structure would collapse. (DS9: “Rocks and Shoals”) On rare occasions, a Jem’Hadar was born with a genetic mutation which allowed their bodies to produce the white they needed, though most such instances went unnoticed. (DS9: “Hippocratic Oath”) All attempts to remove this genetically engineered addiction have thus far failed.

The addiction to white ensured the Jem’Hadars’ loyalty to the Founders. However, for most Jem’Hadar this was unnecessary, as their loyalty was already absolute. Distribution of the white was controlled by the Vorta, and was dispensed to the Jem’Hadar First in a formal ceremony: Vorta: “First [name], can you vouch for the loyalty of your men?” Jem’Hadar: “We pledge our loyalty to the Founders, from now until death.” Vorta: “Then receive this reward from the Founders, may it keep you strong.” Jem’Hadar bred in the Alpha Quadrant occasionally dispensed with the formal ceremony claiming that their loyalty was shown by their actions rather than their words. (DS9: “One Little Ship”). In the event of the death of the Vorta or the detachment of a group of Jem’Hadar from their main unit, the Jem’Hadar First can unlock the white case. (DS9: “Rocks and Shoals”, “One Little Ship”, “To the Death”)

Kironide Kironide is a very rare and long-lasting source of great power.

In 2268, the Starship Enterprise arrived at the planet known as Platonius, where the inhabitants had gained extraordinary psychokinetic powers, which they used to entertain themselves by sadistically torturing Alexander, a Platonian who did not have the powers. It was discovered that they had gained their powers due to the kironide that was present in the local vegetation, and that Alexander did not have the powers because he posessed a pituitary deficiency which prevented him from metabolizing the kironide. In order to escape the control of the Platonians, Doctor McCoy injected Captain Kirk and Commander Spock with a high dose of kironide in order to reproduce the Platonians’ powers. Their plan worked and they were soon able to overpower Parmen, the Platonian leader, and gain their and Alexander’s freedom. (TOS: “Plato’s Stepchildren”)

Lectrazine Lectrazine was used to stabilize the cardiovascular and renal systems of humanoids. It could also be combined with hyronalin for temporary protection against radiation poisoning.

In 2371, The Doctor administered twenty milligrams of lectrazine to Tuvok after the Vulcan began having convulsions in main engineering. (VOY: “Fury”)

The following year, The Doctor administered twenty milligrams of lectrazine to the Vidiian doctor Denara Pel in order to stabilize her cardiovascular and renal systems. (VOY: “Lifesigns”)

In 2373, The Doctor gave Kes lectrazine to counteract the disruptions in her cardiac functions. (VOY: “Sacred Ground”) Kes attempted to give Tieran twenty milligrams of lectrazine in order to save his life, but Tieran’s biochemistry was incompatible with the medication. (VOY: “Warlord”) The Doctor gave Lieutenant Tom Paris a combination of lectrazine and hyronalin to temporarily protect him from radiation poisoning. (VOY: “Real Life”)

In 2374, The Doctor gave twenty milligrams of lectrazine to a member of the bridge crew when she was in hypertensive shock. (VOY: “Scientific Method”)

In the script of DS9: “To the Death”, Julian Bashir has a nurse use lectrazine to treat a woman who suffered a spinal fracture and trauma to the cranial meninges in the Jem’Hadar attack on Deep Space 9. The dialogue cannot be heard clearly in the episode. [1]

Leola ointment Leola ointment is a Talaxian homeopathic treatment for sunburn, made from leola root.

Neelix made some leola ointment for himself after he fell asleep on a beach on Norcadia Prime during shore leave in 2376. He later found out that he was allergic to leola ointment, necessitating intervention by The Doctor. (VOY: “Tsunkatse”)

Leporazine Leporazine is a resuscitative drug used only in extreme cases because of its strength. (TNG: “Ethics”)

Lexorin Lexorin was a drug utilized during the late 23rd century that was developed to alleviate symptoms of malaise and/or multiple personality disorder in those who experienced a Vulcan mind meld, or who carried a Vulcan katra prior to its placement on Mount Seleya.

James T. Kirk administered a dose of lexorin to Leonard McCoy to help him feel well enough to travel with Spock’s katra to Vulcan. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)

Love philtre A love philtre is a magic potion used by the Megans to attract lovers. Since all the women of Megas-Tu are as young and beautiful as they want to be, they need an edge to ensnare the man they desire. (TAS: “The Magicks of Megas-Tu”)

Love potion crystal Love potion crystals were an item Harry Mudd conned “a crazy old Sirius medicine man” out of while on the planet Sirius IX in 2269; the medicine man whom he so conned would not specify their actual origins. He, in turn, sold the crystals to several thousand of the planet’s inhabitants, who experienced adverse effects from them.

Escaping subsequent charges on Sirius, Mudd escaped to Motherlode, where he attempted to sell his remaining love crystals to the miners for three hundred credits per crystal. There he was found by Spock of the USS Enterprise, and was taken into custody aboard the starship. On the Enterprise, Mudd talked Head Nurse Christine Chapel into taking a crystal from him to use on Spock. He also broke several crystals near an air system grille to aid in his escape aboard the shuttlecraft NCC-1701⁄12.

The crystals worked by breaking the crystal and applying the liquid within to one’s skin, and then touching another person. Rubbing the liquid potion on the skin could cause temporary dizziness. To Harry Mudd’s own surprise, the crystals actually had a temporary effect on the Enterprise crew. Spock fell briefly in love with Nurse Chapel, while the crew of the Enterprise herself became intoxicated by the love potion fumes through the air ducts.

Less fortunately for Mudd’s possible hopes of an honest pursuit of interstellar commerce, the potion had a rebound effect once its main effect wore off; that meant the crystals would be a poor buy at even half-price.(TAS: “Mudd’s Passion”)

LSD D-lysergic acid diethylamide (C20H25ON3), commonly called LSD, is a powerful psychotropic drug that was used for medical, spiritual, and recreational purposes on Earth.

While visiting Earth in 1986, James T. Kirk attempted to explain Spock’s erratic behavior to Gillian Taylor by saying that he believed Spock had used too much LSD (mistakenly referring to it as “LDS”) during the 1960s while “he was part of the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley”, California. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

Macrospentol Macrospentol is one of the drugs used by the Angosians to enhance their soldiers during the Tarsian War. (TNG: “The Hunted”)

Mahko root The mahko root is a plant native to the planet Neural. It is the only known cure for the poisonous bite of the deadly Mugato, and then only when properly administered by a female shaman of Neural’s Hill People known as the Kahn-ut-tu. The treatment is highly ritualized.

The ritual involves the beating of drums and chanting of certain incantations as the shaman creates a wound in her own hand, takes hold of the mahko root against the wound, then presses it against the victim’s wound. The root then seems to move of its own power as it draws the toxin out. It may act as a filter between the two circulatory systems to help screen out the poison. It is unknown if the ritual itself has anything to do with the healing processes, but the root certainly has an effect of cleansing the body.

Incidentally, the ritual also acts as a pseudo-marriage ceremony between the victim and the administering Kahn-ut-tu shaman, as the victim now owes the shaman his or her life. (TOS: “A Private Little War”)

Makara herb The makara herb is a native plant of Bajor, a herb known for its medicinal value. It is typically used in Bajoran women to increase their progesterone during pregnancy. It is also known to act as a counter agent to various sedatives, including merfadon. (DS9: “The Darkness and the Light”)

Doctor Julian Bashir prescribed makara herbs for Major Kira Nerys during her pregnancy in 2372 and 2373, to help with swollen ankles while she was carrying Miles and Keiko O’Brien’s baby. She likened the taste to “something that crawled out of Quark’s ear.” (DS9: “Body Parts”)

In 2373, Furel and Lupaza brought Kira fresh makara herbs, picked the previous night on Bajor. (DS9: “The Darkness and the Light”)

Maraji crystal A Maraji crystal is a controlled addictive substance illegal in the Cardassian Union. According to Quark, Cardassians didn’t like the crystals (or possibly their effects) and Bajorans were too poor to buy them.

In 2366, a spy for the Romulans, named Livara, was reportedly peddling maraji crystals on Terok Nor. Odo was investigating Livara’s actions, and discovered that Livara had tried to sell the crystals to Quark.

In a hallucination experienced by Deep Space 9 personnel in 2373, a distorted view of this event was presented, where the inquiry about Livara’s maraji smuggling was made by Thrax, rather than Odo. (DS9: “Things Past”)

Mars Toothpaste Mars Toothpaste was a variety of dental hygiene product used on planet 892-IV.

In 2268, Captain James T. Kirk noted an advertisement for Mars Toothpaste in an issue of The Gallian during his visit there. According to one of the planet’s inhabitants, Septimus, the name of this toothpaste was “taken from the names of false gods.” (TOS: “Bread and Circuses”)

Masiform D Masiform D was a powerful stimulant that could administered via a hypospray.

When Commander Spock was once poisoned by thorns fired from a pod plant on Gamma Trianguli VI in 2267, Doctor McCoy quickly gave him enough Masiform D to “make the whole crew turn handsprings,” in response to the attack, but it got no immediate reaction.

A short time later, Spock came to, as a result of the Masiform D injection, stating, “Dr. McCoy’s potion is acting like all his potions; turning my stomach. Other than that, I am quite well.” McCoy ribbed back, blaming Spock’s physiology on his reaction of the drug, “If your blood were red instead of green, you wouldn’t have an upset stomach.” (TOS: “The Apple”)

Melenex Melenex is an anesthetic that was carried in 2260s Starfleet medkits.

In 2269, Doctor McCoy used melenex to make Spock appear ill, fooling the computer that controlled the Shore Leave Planet. McCoy described the effects of melenex as “brief unconsciousness and temporary skin discoloration,” adding, “It looks worse than it is.”

Once the doctor dosed Spock with ten ccs of melenex via hypospray, McCoy told Spock that it would take ten seconds to take effect, resulting in unconsciousness for less than five minutes. (TAS: “Once Upon a Planet”)

In the novelization of “Once Upon a Planet” (as published in Star Trek Log 3), a drug called corpelomine replaces melenex and is said to take approximately twenty seconds to take effect, rather than the exact ten seconds.

Melorazine Melorazine was a standard sedative.

In 2369, Nurse Ogawa administered a dose of twenty ccs to Deanna Troi in order to stop her struggles while she was being treated in a biobed. (TNG: “Man of the People”)

Merfadon Merfadon is a type of sedative.

In 2373, Silaran Prin used merfadon to sedate Kira Nerys with the intention of removing the unborn Kirayoshi O’Brien, so that no innocents would die when he murdered her for disfiguring him. However, the makara herbs Kira took for her pregnancy counteracted the drug, allowing her to deceive and subdue Prin. (DS9: “The Darkness and the Light”)

Methohexital Methohexital (C14H18N2O3) was a sedative barbiturate substance which was primarily used in hospitals and other medical facilities. It was often used in tandem with anesthesia to induce a deep sedation.

In 2004, Loomis stole some methohexital from a blood bank at which he worked to sedate his victims, whom he was delivering to the Xindi-Reptilians for whom he was working. (ENT: “Carpenter Street”)

The box of methohexital seen on “Carpenter Street” was mistakenly labeled “mexhohexital.”

Metorapan Metorapan is an analgesic medication, which can be substituted with bicaridine.

In 2368, Wesley Crusher was treated with bicaridine instead of metorapan because he was allergic to it. (TNG: “The First Duty”)

Metrazene Metrazene was a drug used to treat cardiac arrhythmias.

In 2367, Dr. Crusher asked Nurse Ogawa for two hundred milligrams of the drug when William T. Riker was having the Odan symbiont implanted. (TNG: “The Host”)

Mirazine Mirazine is a drug used in the 22nd century that reduced the time necessary for decompression when boarding and leaving a starship.

In 2151, Doctor Phlox gave Commander Trip Tucker 40 milligrams of mirazine to cut in half the normal six-hour decompression time. (ENT: “Unexpected”)

Mood enhancer “Mood enhancer” was a general name Taymon gave for a kind of drug used on Taresia. It was injected subdermally by Taresian females into the necks of their male partners. Taymon claimed that they were “mild” and had “no side effects”. He encouraged Harry Kim to allow the injection but Kim refused. (VOY: “Favorite Son”)

Morathial Similar to leporazine, morathial a drug used to treat medical patients who suffered cardiac arrest. It was considered safer than borathium, since it was less likely to cause neural metaphasic shock.

Toby Russell used borathium on a seriously-injured survivor of the USS Denver disaster in 2368, although morathial may have been effective. The survivor later died from neural metaphasic shock, but Russell was content with the fact that she gained valuable data which would allow her to improve borathium. She felt she was justified in sacrificing one patient to potentially save thousands in the future. Dr. Beverly Crusher was not happy with Dr. Russell’s decision, and relieved her of medical duty aboard the USS Enterprise-D following the incident. (TNG: “Ethics”)

Morathial series A morathial series is a group of resuscitative drugs used for one-shot dosing in simple resuscitations. (TNG: “Ethics”)

Morphenolog Morphenolog is an analgesic drug.

In 2371, Dr. Julian Bashir gave Vedek Bareil a two cc dose of morphenolog to ease the pain being caused by damage to his left parietal lobe due to ongoing treatments with vasokin. (DS9: “Life Support”)

Myofibrilin Myofibrilin was a growth hormone prescribed for extended zero gravity missions. The invention of artificial gravity caused myofibrilin to fall out of use by 2155, except for during certain military exercises, and for workers in remote places where artificial gravity was impractical, such as mining colonies.

In 2155, Doctor Phlox discovered traces of myofibrilin in the blood of Susan Khouri, a nurse who had been murdered by Terra Prime, the xenophobic group to which she once belonged. With this information, the crew of the Enterprise NX-01 was able to deduce that Terra Prime was based out of the Orpheus Mining Colony on the moon. (ENT: “Demons”)

Nasal numbing agent A nasal numbing agent was an injection to reduce the perception of odors. Subcommander T’Pol took injections to reduce the smell Humans produce. (ENT: “The Andorian Incident”)

Neodextramine solution After Harry Kim was forced to return to the USS Voyager from Banea in 2371, he suffered from dehydration in his shuttle. Upon returning, he was given a neodextramine solution. (VOY: “Ex Post Facto”)

Neoethylene Neoethylene was a type of drug compound used in 23rd century Federation medicine.

When the USS Enterprise was overrun with appeared to be “giant tribbles” in 2269, Doctor Leonard McCoy was able to remedy the situation by giving them “a simple shot” of neoethylene. As a result, the “giant tribbles”, which were in reality tribble colonies with voracious appetites, broke down into their individual units with a slower metabolic rate. (TAS: “More Tribbles, More Troubles”)

In chemistry, the term “neo” refers to a new chemical compound that is isomeric with a related compound. While neoethylene is a fictitious compound, based on the nomenclature, it could theoretically be described as having the same number of atoms as ethylene (C2H4), but have a different structural arrangement and properties.

Netinaline Netinaline is a stimulant used to resuscitate a patient.

In 2371, a two cc dose was administered to the Vhnori Ptera to revive her. (VOY: “Emanations”)

Netrazine Netrazine was a treatment for radiation poisoning.

In 2377, Tom Paris instructed another crewmember on its application, telling her to switch to analeptics once her supply was consumed. (VOY: “Shattered”)

Neural blocker A neural blocker is a drug that inhibits certain nervous system functions, suppressing pain and motor control.

On the Dinaali Hospital Ship 4-2 in 2377, The Doctor inquired why Tebbis was not given a neural blocker for his pain. Doctor Voje informed him that Tebbis, who had a low treatment coefficient, had already received his allottment. The Doctor later injected the hospital administrator, Chellick, with a neural blocker combined with chromovirus, to force him to divert enough cytoglobin to save all the chromoviral patients in the hospital. (VOY: “Critical Care”)

Neural paralyzer A Neural paralyzer is a central nervous system depressant, standard in Starfleet medkits circa 2260. Used in surgery as a preanesthetic, it acts within 5-10 minutes and lasts for about 15-20 minutes to depress cardiac and respiratory functions, incidentally making the subject nearly appear dead. (TOS: “Amok Time”)

There may be many such available drugs of this type, one of which might be melenex.

Neural suppressant A neural suppressant is a drug that inhibits certain types of activity in the nervous system.

In 2376, The Doctor administered neural suppressant to several members of the USS Voyager crew, to block the traumatic memories of the Nakan massacre caused by the neurogenic pulse of the Tarakis memorial monument. (VOY: “Memorial”)

Later that year, The Doctor injected Kathryn Janeway, Tuvok, and B’Elanna Torres with neural suppressant as part of a plan to infiltrate a Borg tactical cube. The suppressant allowed them to be assimilated by the Borg without losing their individuality, though it began wearing off after a time. The suppressant also impaired the integration of Borg implants, allowing The Doctor to remove most of them from their bodies after the mission. (VOY: “Unimatrix Zero, Part II”)

Neuro-sedative A neuro-sedative was a drug designed to keep a patient sedated.

When abducting crewmembers of the USS Enterprise-D, a species of solanogen-based lifeforms injected them with a strong neuro-sedative so they would be unconscious when entering their realm through a spatial rupture and wouldn’t remember the experiments that were conducted on them.

The neuro-sedative left behind large amounts of serotonin in the abductees’ hippocampus and visual cortex, arousing the suspicion of Doctor Beverly Crusher. She devised a neuro-stimulant that would counteract the effects of the sedative so that the aliens could be stopped by the crew of the Enterprise. (TNG: “Schisms”)

Neuro-stimulant A neuro-stimulant was a drug administered to keep a patient from falling asleep.

Doctor Beverly Crusher injected Commander William T. Riker with a neuro-stimulant to counteract the neuro-sedative given to him by solanogen-based lifeforms whenever they abducted him into their realm. The stimulant would keep him awake when entering their realm through a spatial rupture. It was given to him before being taken for the final time by the aliens. The Doctor had to inject him with a very high dosage, as the alien sedative was very strong and warned him that the procedure might be risky. In this case the drug did work to keep him awake without any major side effects. (TNG: “Schisms”)

In ENT: “Bound”, Phlox used what he simply called “Stimulants” to stay awake. It seems possible that these were also Neuro-stimulants.

Neurozine Neurozine is an anesthetic that was used during the late 24th century that can be dispensed in gaseous form. In 2374, neurozine, axonol and anesthezine were considered to be “only the best.”

That year, The Doctor and EMH Mark II used three canisters of neurozine gas, distributed through the ventilation system, to incapacitate the Romulans who had hijacked the USS Prometheus. (VOY: “Message in a Bottle”)

Niaxilin Niaxilin was a drug that could be used to separate two Denobulans during their mating period when they became too aggressive.

In 2151, Doctor Phlox explained its use to his friend Doctor Jeremy Lucas when the latter was serving on Denobula. (ENT: “Dear Doctor”)

Nogatch hemlock Nogatch hemlock is a substance which is extremely poisonous to humanoids. It has no known antidote.

In 2372, Q gave Quinn Nogatch hemlock so that he could commit suicide. USS Voyager’s Doctor stated that the drug was not available in the ship’s medical stores, and Lieutenant Tuvok stated that the ship’s replicators would not produce it either. (VOY: “Death Wish”)

Norepinephrine Norepinephrine (abbreviated norep) or noradrenaline is a hormone and neurotransmitter in the humanoid central nervous system. As a stress hormone, it affects the part of the brain that controls alertness as well as the fight-or-flight response. Along with epinephrine or adrenaline, it increases heart rate and blood pressure, thus increasing blood flow to muscles in addition to triggering the release of glucose from the body’s energy stores. (TNG: “Skin of Evil”, “Who Watches The Watchers”)

In 2372, The Doctor found elevated levels of norepinephrine in Lon Suder, which suggested increased aggressive tendencies. However, he also noted that Suder’s levels were not significantly different from any of the other former Maquis crew. (VOY: “Meld”)

The Clown, a manifestation of fear in Viorsa’s virtual reality stasis system, metaphorically chopped his victims’ heads off by raising the amount of norepinephrine in their bodies to such extreme levels that they suffered massive heart attacks and died. (VOY: “The Thaw”)

Numanol capsule Numanol capsule was a medication used in the sickbay of the USS Enterprise in 2268. (TOS: “Day of the Dove”)

Its purpose is unknown.

Nytoxinol Nytoxinol is a drug that causes tissue transplant rejection.

In 2372, Denara Pel, temporarily existing as a hologram, injected her real body with nytoxinol, causing her brain to reject the Klingon neural tissue that had been grafted to her cerebral cortex. Pel did this because she did not wish to return to her diseased body, even if it meant she would only live a few more days before her synaptic pattern degraded within the holobuffer. (VOY: “Lifesigns”)

Painkiller A painkiller is a medicine that eases one’s pain.

Doctor Beverly Crusher gave Jean-Luc Picard a painkiller when he was experiencing an unknown form of pain when DaiMon Bok returned his previous command starship, the USS Stargazer. (TNG: “The Battle”)

In 2372, Doctor Julian Bashir gave Norva a painkiller. However, it had no effect as she was experiencing the final stages of the Teplan blight. (DS9: “The Quickening”)

After Jadzia Dax was injured by a Jem’Hadar weapon on Soukara, Worf gave her painkillers, although the anticoagulant from the Dominion weapon meant she needed to take more. (DS9: “Change of Heart”)

Peridaxon Peridaxon is a drug used to treat Irumodic syndrome, a degenerative neurological disorder which causes progressive deterioration of the synaptic pathways. Peridaxon is simply palliative, as there is no known cure for the syndrome. (TNG: “All Good Things…”)

Placebo A placebo is a substance containing no medication which is given to reinforce a patient’s expectation to get well or, alternatively, used in medical experiments as a control measure.

In 2153, Dr. Phlox gave Commander Tucker a placebo after he wouldn’t try Vulcan neuropressure therapy. (ENT: “The Xindi”)

Every flu season on the USS Voyager, Neelix became convinced that he had Toluncan ague. Rather than arguing with him, The Doctor would simply give him a placebo. (VOY: “Virtuoso”)

Polyadrenaline Polyadrenaline is a synthetic version of the hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. It is designed as a stimulant which can aid in the revival of a patient who has died or is near death.

Dr. Beverly Crusher used twenty-five cc polyadrenaline to assist Worf’s Klingon physiology in reviving his systems after his entire spinal column was replaced by the genitronic replicator in 2368. (TNG: “Ethics”)

Polynutrient solution Polynutrient solution is a parenteral nutrition formula given to patients suffering from malnutrition.

Dr. Bashir prepared an IV drip of polynutrient solution for Odo after his runabout crashed on a class L planet. (DS9: “The Ascent”)

Priaxate Priaxate was a drug used in 2151 by Doctor Phlox to alleviate the most severe symptoms of the plague afflicting the Valakians. He also instructed the Valakians in how to synthesize the drug. (ENT: “Dear Doctor”)

Promazine Promazine was a clear round pill developed by the Obsidian Order for use by their operatives in case of capture. The pill not only kills a person swiftly and painlessly but turns them into dust within hours, leaving nothing left for identification.

Dukat tried to use promazine to kill his followers on Empok Nor in 2375. (DS9: “Covenant”)

Psychoactive drug A Psychoactive drug is a mood-altering chemical substance. It primarily affects the central nervous system by altering brain function resulting in changes in behavior, perception, consciousness, and cognition. Psychoactive drugs induce elation and euphoria, hallucinations, or altered sensory experiences.

While psychoactive drugs are can be used for recreational purposes, such as a narcotic, some cultures use psychoactive drugs in the form of herbs for use during spiritual quests or rituals.

Chakotay revealed to Kathryn Janeway that in the past, Native Americans used psychotropic herbs while embarking on vision quests to induce an altered state of consciousness. With the advent of modern technology, however, they moved away from using drugs to induce hallucinations and instead discovered the akoonah, a device that affects one’s mind just like the herbs. (VOY: “The Cloud”)

One example of a powerful psychoactive drug is the semi-synthetic drug LSD.

Psychotropic drug A psychotropic drug is a chemical that alters brain function in such a way as to affect mood, consciousness, perception, or behavior. These effects are usually temporary.

During the 1960s, some Humans on Earth used a psychotropic drug known as LSD for recreation, which caused some damage to their minds later in life. James T. Kirk, during a time travel mission that visited Earth’s past, used this fact in an attempt to explain Spock’s unusual comments, behavior, and attire, by stating that he had taken too much of the drug during that era while partaking in the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley, California. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

In 2151 an away team from the Enterprise NX-01 fell victim to a naturally occurring psychotropic compound, known as tropolisine on an uninhabited Class M planet. (ENT: “Strange New World”)

The Ktarian game was stimulating the brain similar to a psychotropic drug. (TNG: “The Game”)

Empok Nor had been the site of a failed experiment by the Cardassians to use psychotropic drugs to enhance Cardassian xenophobia, in order to create more effective soldiers. Three members of the First Order, Third Battalion were treated to the drug, and left behind in stasis tubes when the station was abandoned. The two surviving members were awakened in 2373 by a Starfleet salvage team, who killed three members of the team before being killed by Elim Garak, who had also been exposed to the drug. The drug caused Garak to kill a fourth member of the team before he was neutralized by Chief Miles O’Brien. (DS9: “Empok Nor”)

Pulmozine Pulmozine was a drug used to treat oxygen deprivation and stimulate breathing.

In 2372, The Doctor gave 40 milligrams of pulmozine to one of Seska’s aides, Tierna, after he was brought aboard the USS Voyager. (VOY: “Basics, Part I”)

In 2373, The Doctor used pulmozine to stimulate breathing in Lieutenant B’Elanna Torres after she was injured during an attack on the Nasari. (VOY: “Favorite Son”)

Quadroline Quadroline is an emergency resuscitative drug used on Malcor III to treat cardiac arrhythmias. (TNG: “First Contact”)

Radiogenic vaccine Radiogenic vaccines are a class of medications designed to protect an individual against radiation exposure.

In 2377, the hologram of Reginald Barclay, after being reprogrammed by DaiMon Nunk, provided the crew of the USS Voyager with inoculations that would supposedly protect them against geodesic radiation. The Doctor, however, noticed that they were similar to standard Federation radiogenic vaccines, and would not be sufficient. (VOY: “Inside Man”)

Rama leaf Rama leaf is a part of a plant from the Delta Quadrant, used as an herb.

A Talaxian theta radiation remedy calls for crushed Rama leaf and Katyllian cloves, though the mixture also triggers a gag reflex. Neelix made some in 2375 while preparing to board a disabled Malon freighter. (VOY: “Juggernaut”)

Regalian liquid crystal Regalian liquid crystal was an illegal, highly dangerous and sometimes intoxicating aphrodisiac.

In 2373 Quark attempted to import Regalian liquid crystal with a shipment of Regalian fleaspiders that Doctor Bashir had asked him for. (DS9: “The Ship”)

Rejuvenation drug Rejuvenation drugs were a class of drugs intended to extend ones life span. Rao Vantika, a Kobliad scientist, was known to have experimented with such drugs. (DS9: “The Passenger”)

While not specifically referred to as such, the de-aging treatment from Cerberus II and the treatment Matthew Dougherty hoped to develop based on Metaphasic radiation might also count as Rejuvenation drugs.

Retinax V Retinax V was a medication usually prescribed as a treatment for people with presbyopia in the 23rd century. Some people, such as James T. Kirk, were allergic to this form of medication, and the alternative of “reading glasses” was therefore still required. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

Rhuludian crystal Rhuludian crystals were a form of narcotic chemical commonly sought out in the Delta Quadrant.

In 2373, they were offered for sale to Chakotay and Tom Paris by trader Sutok at Bahrat’s space station near the Nekrit Expanse. He told them that ingesting only one of the crystals would make days of tedious travel seem like moments of exquisite rapture. Chakotay and Paris immediately turned down the offer. (VOY: “Fair Trade”)

According to the novel “Pathways” by reference originator Jeri Taylor, Rhuludian crystals are formed by dehydrating the leaves of a plant, probably similar to the formation of THC crystals on dried leaves of Earth marijuana. According to the story, when the Haakonians destroyed Rinax with a metreon cascade, survivor Neelix recalls turning to smoking this narcotic substance for solace.

Rigelian gene therapy Rigelian gene therapy was the only known medical treatment for Taggart’s Syndrome, a neurological disorder that affected Humans. Without this treatment, sufferers of the syndrome usually died by the age of twenty.

John Frederick Paxton, leader of the extremist xenophobic group, Terra Prime, suffered from Taggart’s syndrome, and took regular injections. Commander T’Pol later pointed out Paxton’s hypocrisy in utilizing the treatment, which conflicted with his views of Human purity. (ENT: “Demons”, “Terra Prime”)

Ryetalyn Ryetalyn is the only known antidote to the deadly disease Rigelian fever. It is a rather rare mineral.

In 2269, the crew of Federation starship USS Enterprise became infected with Rigelian fever and visited the planet Holberg 917G, which had rich natural ryetalyn deposits. There they encountered the immortal Flint and his android partner Rayna Kapec. (TOS: “Requiem for Methuselah”).

Sedative A sedative was a drug used to calm down a patient or to induce sleep.

Sedatives were often administered with a hypospray in a dosage of usually not more than several ccs.

Aldebaran mud leeches could be used to treat insomnia as their secretions acted as a natural sedative. (ENT: “Anomaly”)

Captain Picard’s aunt Adele’s recipe for a warm milk toddy was working perfectly as a natural sedative, as the heat activated amino acids in the lactose and it also tasted delicious. (TNG: “Schisms”)

Constable Odo told the Rakhari criminal Croden he would sedate him if he would not be quiet during their trip to Rakhar. (DS9: “Vortex”)

Makara herbs could act as an antidote to sedatives. While taking these herbs during her pregnancy, Major Kira Nerys was able to overpower Silaran Prin by pretending the sedatives he gave her worked. (DS9: “The Darkness and the Light”)

Skin protector A skin protector is an ointment that is administered to the skin to protect it from high levels of ultraviolet radiation that could cause skin cancer.

Kamin of Kataan developed a skin protector that he and his whole family wore to protect themselves from the dying sun of the planet, which was rapidly approaching a nova. (TNG: “The Inner Light”)

Sodium Pentathol Sodium Pentathol (generic: thiopental sodium (C11H17N2O2SNa)) was a compound which was used as a type of “truth serum” on Earth during the mid-20th century Earth.

While he was stuck in 1947 Earth, the United States of America’ Army Air Corps used Sodium Pentathol on Quark in an attempt to gain information about an anticipated attack from Mars. However, several injections of the drug did not produce results, although Quark’s loud, high-pitched screams for mercy led Captain Wainwright to make physical threats instead. (DS9: “Little Green Men”)

Sonambutril Sonambutril is a strong sedative used for medical purposes. It was in use during the mid-22nd century. The chemical name is derived from the latin “somnus,” meaning “sleep.”

When Hoshi Sato and Trip Tucker caught a strain of a silicon-based virus, Phlox ordered them to use sonambutril after Sato was able to escape confinement. The sedative was able to knock out both officers for a long period of time. (ENT: “Observer Effect”)

Stenophyl Stenophyl is a drug that can be used to treat anaphylactic shock.

In 2375, The Doctor and the holographic Crell Moset administered stenophyl to a cytoplasmic lifeform, when it entered anaphylactic shock after being removed from B’Elanna Torres. (VOY: “Nothing Human”)

Stimulant A stimulant was a type of drug intended to temporary stimulate mental or physical functions.

In 2154, when Phlox found his sleep cycle disturbed by Orion pheromones, he relied on stimulants to stay awake. (ENT: “Bound”)

During the mid-2260s, an experimental chemical stimulant designed to speed up reproduction and replacement of blood in the bodies of certain species was developed that was successfully tested in Rigelian test subjects on Rigel V. (TOS: “Journey to Babel”)

Stokaline Stokaline is an injectible multiple vitamin compound. Dr. McCoy used it on Spock as a “treatment” for the Vulcan’s faked illness (a flare-up of Rigelian Kassaba fever) in the effort to regain control of the USS Enterprise from invading Kelvans. (TOS: “By Any Other Name”).

Strobolin Strobolin was the cure for the choriocytosis virus.

It was a rare substance only found on a few planets in the United Federation of Planets. Given choriocytosis’ extremely rapid and deadly symptoms on some species like Vulcans, ships working in coordination were sometimes necessary to deliver the medication to stricken individuals in time. A synthesized version of the medication could be used to slow the disease’s progress, but the recipient soon became immune to its effects within hours.

When Spock contracted the virus in 2270, the USS Potemkin obtained the drug and delivered it to the USS Huron. En route to the USS Enterprise to deliver the drug, the Huron was attacked by Orion pirates, who stole the drug and the ship’s other cargo, dilithium. The Enterprise eventually recovered the drug and Leonard McCoy administered it to Spock, saving his life. (TAS: “The Pirates of Orion”)

Strychnine Strychnine was an extremely poisonous white crystalline alkaloid, derived from certain plants.

In 2369, Data, in the role of Sherlock Holmes, determined that a gentleman had murdered his brother with a cigar laced with strychnine, then placed a bottle of the same in his brother’s hand. (TNG: “Ship in a Bottle”)

Synaptizine Synaptizine is a drug used to treat neuroleptic shock.

In 2376, The Doctor used synaptizine on Lieutenant Commander Tuvok to treat the neuroleptic shock he suffered after being attacked by the Ba’neth. (VOY: “Riddles”)

Synthetic antigen A synthetic antigen is a manufactured anti-viral agent created from a living sample of the organism it is intended to destroy.

The Doctor created a synthetic antigen to combat an infection of the macrovirus encountered by the USS Voyager in 2373. The virus spread before The Doctor could inoculate the entire crew and eventually had to be dispersed by explosives. (VOY: “Macrocosm”)

Takeo her b Takeo herbs are a Bajoran plant, which can be used to treat swellings. They have to be dissolved in fruit juice before being ingested.

Doctor Bashir prescribed takeo herbs to treat the swollen ankles of the pregnant Kira Nerys in 2373. (DS9: “Looking for par’Mach in All the Wrong Places”)

Talaxian wormroot Talaxian wormroot is a plant from Talax which causes unpleasant gas pains if consumed.

In 2377, Neelix served the con artist Gar food that had been laced with Talaxian wormroot, neglecting to tell him that “some people react badly”. Neelix then told Gar that the “abdominal spasms” would worsen over thirty to forty hours, unless he revealed where he had taken The Doctor so that an antidote could be administered. (VOY: “Critical Care”)

Terakine Terakine is an analgesic medication.

In 2370, Commander William Riker received 10cc’s of terakine to alleviate the pain from a rib broken during bat’leth training with Lt. Commander Worf. (TNG: “The Pegasus”)

Tesokine Tesokine was a drug used to help a baby from one species to properly metabolize the nutrients from another species while in the womb.

In 2372, tesokine was used so that Miles and Keiko O’Brien’s baby could metabolize Bajoran nutrients while Major Kira Nerys carried the baby to term. (DS9: “Body Parts”)

Tetrovaline Tetrovaline is a medical drug used to knock a person unconscious, but which also lowers immune response.

It was carried aboard the Delta Flyer. In 2376, when Crewman Telfer had a dark matter lifeform inside him, he asked to be put under with tetrovaline, but Captain Janeway refused because he needed to keep his immune response up. (VOY: “Good Shepherd”)

Theragen Theragen is a chemical compound, initially developed as a nerve gas by the Klingons. In its pure form it is lethal, but when diluted with alcohol it can temporarily deaden certain nerve inputs to the brain, having a calming effect on an insane and/or abnormally enraged person.

A theragen derivative was first used as an effective treatment on the crew of the USS Enterprise in 2267, following an extended interaction with the effects of interphase space. Leonard McCoy, the ship’s chief medical officer, discovered how to use the theragen derivative to ameliorate the baneful effects on the crew long enough for the Enterprise to complete her mission. The medicine is now listed in the Starfleet Medical Database. (TOS: “The Tholian Web”)

Tobacco Tobacco was a highly addictive and poisonous substance smoked on Earth until at least the 21st century.

During the 19th century tobacco was on sale in a shop in the Irish village of Fair Haven, if the holoprogram Paris 042 is to be believed. (VOY: “Fair Haven”)

Data would smoke a pipe when portraying Sherlock Holmes on the holodeck, as it was part of the role. (TNG: “Elementary, Dear Data”, “Ship in a Bottle”)

When Quark, Rom and Nog found themselves in 1940s Earth, virtually all of the Humans they encountered were smokers. Quark had a particularly negative reaction to the tobacco smoke. (DS9: “Little Green Men”)

Trellium Trellium is a mineral used as insulation against anomalies by starships in the Delphic Expanse. Trellium comes in multiple forms. Trellium-A is extremely common and easy to synthesize. However, it is trellium-D that is useful as insulation, and it is rare and difficult to process.

Trellium can only be synthesized in a liquid state, though the synthesized form is just as useful as the natural ore. While still a liquid it must be immediately applied to the inner hull, where it will then set. The synthesis process is very complex and very dangerous, due to the high levels of pressure and radiation involved. (ENT: “Rajiin”)

The Enterprise NX-01 visited a trellium mining planet in September of 2153 to gain information from the Xindi Kessick. (ENT: “The Xindi”) Enterprise later began to seek trellium to insulate its hull, but attempts by T’Pol and Commander Charles Tucker to synthesize trellium-D following protocols provided by the chemist B’Rat Ud proved fruitless after several weeks’ efforts, succeeding only in destroying an Enterprise science lab. (ENT: “Rajiin”) By February of 2154, Enterprise had sixty kilograms of trellium-D in its storage bay. (ENT: “Damage”)

Enterprise later discovered a trellium asteroid field while following the distress signal of the Seleya, but could not use the trellium mined there because of its effects on Vulcans. Trellium is a deadly neurotoxin to Vulcans, gradually degrading their neural pathways. This has the initial effect of removing emotional inhibitions, but will eventually induce insanity and violent rages. Over time the neurological damage becomes irreversible, eventually leading to death; this was the fate of the Seleya crew. (ENT: “Impulse”) It is likely that the Vaankara crew suffered a similar fate. (ENT: “The Expanse”) T’Pol suffered severe exposure to trellium-D while in the asteroid field, and though Doctor Phlox was able to reverse the neurological damage, she continued to hunger for the release from the constraints of logic the trellium had allowed. She developed a method of injecting it into her body and became addicted to it. With Phlox’s help, she successfully withdrew from the substance, however her ability to control her emotions to a normal Vulcan level was permanently damaged. (ENT: “Damage”)

Because of the deadly effect lining the ship’s hull would have on T’Pol, the Enterprise crew was forced to place the trellium-D mined in the asteroid field in a biohazard locker. (ENT: “Impulse”) In order to take measurements of Sphere 2, Tucker lined the hull of Shuttlepod 1 with trellium to avoid anomalies. (ENT: “Exile”)

Tri-ox compound Tri-ox was a simple but effective intravenous medicine used for rapidly oxygenating the blood cells of a living being, especially in an oxygen-poor environment such as Vulcan. Most Humans and humanoids would otherwise have had trouble getting sufficient oxygen in such environments, especially during any strenuous work or other exertions. The drug could be used as a substitute for cumbersome breathing masks and equipment in such cases.

Tri-ox compound was designed to strengthen an individual’s cardiopulmonary system. An injection of 15 ccs of tri-ox every four hours was the recommended dosage taken to compensate for excess carbon dioxide, as could be the case of a humanoid in prolonged exposure to a Class L environment. Without it, an individual would experience the effects of hypoxia and possibly carbon dioxide poisoning. (DS9: “The Sound of Her Voice”)

Doctor Leonard McCoy feigned using tri-ox on Captain James T. Kirk in 2267 during a Vulcan combat ritual, and later used the drug on the captain after his space suit’s air supply had nearly run out. Lieutenant Commander Tuvok used tri-ox on survivors of an orbital tether carriage in 2373. (TOS: “Amok Time”, “The Tholian Web”; VOY: “Rise”)

The exact mechanism by which tri-ox worked has not been stated on screen, but it could be inferred from the instances it has been used that it increased the blood cells’ ability to bind and carry oxygen, rather than supplying additional oxygen on its own.

Trianoline Trianoline was a medicine used on patients with percussive injuries.

In 2371, four ccs of trianoline was the typical dosage for a patient with a concussion. (VOY: “Caretaker”)

Triclenidil Triclenidil is one of the drugs used by the Angosians to enhance their soldiers during the Tarsian War. (TNG: “The Hunted”)

Tricordrazine Tricordrazine was a potent stimulant, originally derived from cordrazine, and commonly used in resuscitation in the 24th century. The drug was highly potent; 25 ccs of the drug was enough to kill a Klingon. It was also used as an anti-seizure medication. (TNG: “Ethics”, “Shades of Gray”)

In 2365, Doctor Katherine Pulaski administered five milligrams of tricordrazine to William Riker, followed by another dose when his life signs were failing fast. (TNG: “Shades of Gray”)

In 2366, Doctor Beverly Crusher treated Mary Warren with tricordrazine after she was injured on Mintaka III, and later gave instructions for increased levels to be administered. (TNG: “Who Watches The Watchers”)

Similarly, in an alternate timeline that same year, Captain Rachel Garrett was treated with tricordrazine and Crusher ordered the levels to be boosted. (TNG: “Yesterday’s Enterprise”)

In 2368, Crusher attempted to use tricordrazine to revive Worf after he experienced heart failure, following a risky surgery using the genitronic replicator to repair his damaged spinal column. (TNG: “Ethics”)

Triglobulin Triglobulin is a biochemical substance produced by the Axanar zymuth gland and released into the blood. Triglobulin is used to produce medicines and vaccines, and is sometimes used as an aphrodisiac. Thus, there are cases where Axanar vessels have been attacked and triglobulin harvested from the crew. Triglobulin has certain similarities to Human lymphatic fluid. (ENT: “Fight or Flight”)

Trioxin Trioxin is a medicine used in the treatment of respiratory injuries. It is used in emergency situations as a stop-gap measure, Doctors usually prefer to treat the injury itself if they have the time and capability.

In an alternate timeline, The Doctor was ordered by Captain Janeway to inject her with trioxin after her alveoli were damaged by nebular gas in 2374. (VOY: “Year of Hell, Part II”)

During the assent of orbital tether, Tuvok used trioxin to ease the effects of hypoxia on the cart’s crew. (VOY: “Rise”)

Triptacederine Triptacederine is an analgesic medication.

In 2370, Elim Garak used thirty ccs of triptacederine to alleviate the pain caused by his cranial implant, which would usually be enough to anesthetize an Algorian mammoth. (DS9: “The Wire”)

During the final stage of his Yarim Fel Syndrome in 2373, Tekeny Ghemor was administered triptacederine to minimize the pain. (DS9: “Ties of Blood and Water”)

An alternate spelling “triptacederin” comes from “The Wire”‘s closed captioning. In the script for “Ties of Blood and Water”, it is spelled triptacedrine.

Tropolisine Tropolisine is a psychotropic compound known for its hallucinogenic effects. Normally found in certain flowering plants, each tropolisine atom contains a stray neutron. Once it starts to break down in a humanoid’s bloodstream it releases an undetectable toxin.

In 2151, while exploring an uncharted M-class planet, the crew of Enterprise became affected by tropolisine that was blown down from the mountains during a windstorm. It was discovered by Dr. Phlox that inaprovaline, combined with being removed from the pollen-saturated environment would allow the effects of tropolisine to dissipate. (ENT: “Strange New World”)

By the early 23rd century, a permanent cure for the hallucinogenic effects of tropolisine had been found, allowing Humans to settle the planet.

This information was referenced in Archer’s biography found in the Starfleet database, which was discovered aboard the USS Defiant in “In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II”

Truth serum A truth serum or truth drug was a type of drug that, when given to a humanoid, will cause them to unwillfully tell the truth. Sodium Pentathol was an example of a manufactured truth serum found on Earth. (DS9: “Little Green Men”)

In 2153, Doctor Phlox suggested to Captain Jonathan Archer that he could create a truth serum to use on Degra, in order to determine the location of Azati Prime, but added that it could take weeks to synthesize the correct formula. (ENT: “Stratagem”)

In 2266, Commander Spock suggested that a truth serum be used on uncooperative Robert Crater, so as to determine the location of the salt vampire on the surface of M-113. The salt vampire in disguise as Doctor Leonard McCoy resisted the suggestion of using it, but was in favor of it, in this case, so as not to raise suspicion. Crater, unfortunately, was killed by the salt vampire prior to the administration of the drug. (TOS: “The Man Trap”)

When Thelev was discovered to be an Orion spy serving in the Andorian delegation aboard the USS Enterprise, in 2268, he was subjected to questioning under a verifier scan and given truth drug. Unfortunately these tactics did not reveal anything, which suggested to Spock that his mind had been conditioned against such means as part of a preconceived plan. (TOS: “Journey to Babel”)

In 2369, Captain Jean-Luc Picard was drugged and interrogated by the Cardassian officer Gul Madred. (TNG: “Chain of Command, Part II”) Chakotay is given a Kazon truth drug Commander Chakotay was beaten and questioned with little success under some kind of truth drug by the Kazon First Maje Culluh in 2372. (VOY: “Maneuvers”)

Tryptophan-lysine distillate Tryptophan-lysine distillate or TLD is a drug used for the treatment for a flu virus that was acquired on Nasreldine.

According to Doctor Katherine Pulaski, tryptophan-lysine distillate worked well with a generous dose of Pulaski’s chicken soup. (TNG: “The Icarus Factor”)

Vaccine A vaccine is a chemical preparation that teaches a healthy immune system to fight a pathogen.

Sometime around 1960, scientists on a planet exactly like Earth developed the life prolongation complex. This was a series of viruses that became fatal when the infected individual entered puberty. In 2266, McCoy developed a vaccine that cured at least the fatal form of the disease. (TOS: “Miri”)

Vaccination is normally pointless after clinical symptoms have appeared; the immune system is already working as hard as it can, and is already aware of the threat. This suggests that by the 23rd century, physicians had broadened the term vaccine somewhat, perhaps to include therapies that stimulate the immune system beyond its normal limits, enabling it to handle particularly aggressive pathogens.

In 2364, Ligon II had a vaccine to cure Anchilles fever, which the population of Federation planet Styris IV was suffering from. The USS Enterprise-D was sent Ligon II to negotiate with Lutan, leader of the Ligonians, to acquire the vaccine. (TNG: “Code of Honor”)

In an alternate reality McCoy gave Kirk a vaccine for a viral infection spread by Melvaran mud fleas to which Kirk has a bad reaction resulting in swollen hands and numb tongue which hinder his attempt to warn Uhura about a possible Romulan attack when Nero attacked Rura Penthe in 2258. (Star Trek)

Vasokin Vasokin was an experimental drug which increased blood flow to humanoid organs. Unfortunately, in 22% of studied cases it caused severe damage to the lungs, kidneys, heart, and brain.

In 2371, Dr. Julian Bashir administered vasokin to Vedek Bareil in an attempt to save his life.(DS9: “Life Support”)

Venus drug The Venus drug was an illegal chemical compound supposedly capable of enhancing one’s most attractive qualities. Considered by many to be merely a myth, the drug was said to make women more beautiful and alluring, and men more muscular and aggressive.

In 2266, the interstellar criminal Harcourt Fenton Mudd utilized the drug on three women whom he intended to provide as wives to settlers on planet Ophiucus III. En route, however, Mudd’s starship was intercepted by the crew of the USS Enterprise, and subsequently destroyed in an asteroid belt. Mudd and the women were brought aboard the Enterprise, and Mudd subsequently hid the drug, due to its illegal nature. Later, on planet Rigel XII, Mudd used the drug in an attempt to make the women more appealing to three lithium miners, agreeing to provide the women as wives in exchange for the miners using their leverage over Captain Kirk to have Mudd freed. Kirk, however, was able to set up a ruse whereby one of the women, Eve McHuron, took colored gelatin in place of the drug and, upon witnessing Eve experience identical effects as that of the actual drug, and prove that the drug’s power actually resided in the user’s self-confidence and belief in their own attractiveness. (TOS: “Mudd’s Women”)

Veridium Six Veridium Six was a poison effective against Klingons. It has no known antidote.

In early 2367, Chancellor K’mpec was poisoned with Veridium Six. The poison slowly built up through small doses introduced into his bloodwine until the level became fatal. (TNG: “Reunion”)

Vertazine Vertazine was a drug typically administered in a hypospray to remedy dizziness.

Dr. Crusher gave La Forge a dose of vertazine after he experienced an episode of dizziness while working in Main Engineering. (TNG: “Cause and Effect”)

Whenever Worf transported between quantum realities he experienced dizziness. Following one transition, Dr. Crusher offered to give Worf some vertazine, to counteract the side effects of the concussion that he suffered in that quantum reality. (TNG: “Parallels”)

Vitalizer B Vitalizer B was a Federation stimulant drug.

Vitalizer B was used by Starfleet’s Dr. Leonard McCoy in 2268 to treat Spock when he was shot in the back with a flintlock firearm. (TOS: “A Private Little War”)

Voraxna Voraxna is a type of poison effective against Cardassians.

In 2373, Dukat had voraxna added to a bottle of kanar, which was then delivered to Tekeny Ghemor.

Benjamin Sisko later confronted Dukat and Weyoun with the poisoned kanar, which according to him was enough to kill a dozen Cardassians. Weyoun drank the kanar and the poison, saying it was “quite toxic”. Fortunately for Weyoun, Vorta were immune to most forms of poison. (DS9: “Ties of Blood and Water”)

Zenite Zenite is a mineral that was useful in countering plant diseases. In 2269, it was found only on Ardana in soft ore material, and hand removal was the preferred method of mining.

However, the Ardanans were apparently unaware that the mineral in its raw state has an undesirable by-product: it emits a colorless and odorless gas that temporarily impairs synaptic functions, stunting the subject’s intelligence and emotional control. When the subject is removed from a high concentration of the gas, brain functions return to normal.

This medical problem was discovered by Dr. Leonard McCoy, who also learned that a simple air filter was sufficient to prevent exposure. However, the Ardanans were reluctant to accept these facts, and only after concerted diplomatic efforts did they agree to take prescribed safety precautions for mining. (TOS: “The Cloud Minders”)

Star Trek: Every Medical Officer Ranked

Rating Trek's sawbones.

Like a captain or a Spock-type, the medical officer of a starship and/or starbase has become an iconic mainstay of the Star Trek Universe.

While recent series have somewhat skewed away from a rigid Starfleet command structure that also dictates the structure of the cast, the chief medical officer has been a primary character in six of the nine Star Trek television series (yes, The Animated Series and Short Treks count) and their motion picture counterparts. With every incarnation of the franchise has come a new medical professional, each with his or her or its own personality, special gimmick, and (in most cases) stunning ability to heal bizarre space diseases and reverse severe physical transformations.

There have been multiple doctors on a single series, even multiple versions of a single doctor, all fodder for a Star Trek generations-old debate over who is the better medical officer. Whichever doc is your favorite, our prescription is a hypospray full of PCS (Pulaski's chicken soup) and this list of every Star Trek medical officer ranked.

11. Phil Boyce

As Star Trek's very first doctor, Doctor Phil Boyce holds a special place in the franchise despite only a single appearance in the very first unaired pilot, "The Cage" (and of course file footage in "The Menagerie").

Boyce is also notable right out of the gate for medicating Captain Pike (and self-medicating right along with him) with a medkit martini in our first introduction to the character. As the prototypical Star Trek medical officer, Boyce is established in the pilot as a sounding board for Pike, a relationship that would be duplicated when Star Trek went to air with the roles swapped out for Kirk and McCoy.

With the return of Captain Christopher Pike both in the Kelvin Timeline films and later in Star Trek: Discovery, alongside another "Cage" favorite Number One, maybe now's the time for the return of Doctor Phil Boyce in a Star Trek: Pike spin off series.

Kahless knows television could use a competent Doctor Phil.

12 Star Trek Gadgets That Now Exist

For geeks growing up in the 1960s, '80s and '90s, a vision of the future has been provided by one very successful television franchise: Star Trek. And the future, it turns out, is coming sooner than even Trek 's writers could have imagined. Here are 12 gizmos used on the Star Trek television shows that are now becoming real.

1. Food Replicator

Captain Jean-Luc Picard used to say "Tea, Earl Grey, hot!" and it would be replicated instantly. Today's 3D printers don't tackle tea, but there are machines that actually can print food. And other printers, like the MakerBot Replicator 2 are quite adept at making small objects—just as they were shown to do on later episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation .

2. Universal Translator

In several episodes, we marveled at the universal translator, which decoded what aliens said in real-time—and in the later shows, it was integrated into the communication badges (which explains why basically everyone, regardless of home planet, spoke English). Now, there's an app for that. Voice Translator by TalirApps understands 71 languages (no Klingon yet, though). You speak in your native tongue and the app translates your phrase into another language.

3. Tablet Computers

Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge—you know, the guy from Reading Rainbow —used a tablet computer (what they called Personal Access Data Devices, or PADDs) to punch in coordinates for the next star system. Other Starfleet personnel used them to watch videos and listen to music—just the things we use tablets for today.

4. Tricorder

In the TV show, a tricorder is a handheld device that scans for geological, biological, and meteorological anomalies. Handy! In 2012, Peter Jansen from McMaster University in Ontario built a working prototype that scans for magnetic fields and other interference. And there are lots of other real-world tricorders , too.

5. Holodeck

On Star Trek: The Next Generation , you could walk into a chamber on the Enterprise and visit your home planet for a quick barbecue, or even have an affair with a hologram . Leave it to a bunch of University of Southern California students to make virtual reality a little more down-to-Earth— Project Holodeck used virtual reality goggles to create a fictional world. (Though no encounters with Minuet were reported.)

6. Communicator Badge

On the original series, Kirk and crew carried handheld communicators . But in Star Trek: The Next Generation , Starfleet personnel wore communicator badges on the left breasts of their uniforms. A California start-up called Vocera has created a similar device you pin to your shirt. They're used mostly in hospitals to avoid having constant overhead pages.

7. Tractor Beam

Pulling a ship with an invisible tractor beam seems impossible, but two New York University professors are making it so . Their experiment, which uses a light beam to control tiny microscopic particles, is not going to be deployed on the next NASA mission, but shows we’re making progress.

8. Natural Language Queries

In the Star Trek universe, you can talk to a computer (voiced by Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, Trek creator Gene's wife) in casual conversation. These days, we've got Siri and Alexa, and while they aren't fully developed systems yet, they are baby steps toward a service like Star Trek 's computer, which has a complex understanding of context. Google even codenamed their voice-based service "Majel," in honor of Barrett-Roddenberry.

9. Warp Drive

No one in Star Trek ever sits down and explains how a warp drive works in detail, but we know it has something to do with bending space and traveling faster than the speed of light. Doesn’t seem possible, but NASA is working on it.

Captain Kirk was pretty handy with a phaser, and he didn’t always set his to stun. Ironically, we’ve been using something similar since the first Iraq War. Known as a dazzler, the directed-energy weapon sends a pulse of electromagnetic radiation to stop someone cold in their tracks.

11. Teleportation

To get from place to place, Captain Kirk and company didn't need an airplane—they didn't even need a space elevator. Instead, they teleported using the U.S.S. Enterprise 's transporter (a scenario we all dream about while standing in line at airport security). We've already done some teleportation—specifically, of photons and atoms . These particles don't disappear and reappear, though. According to Forbes, "the information contained in the photon’s quantum state is transmitted from one photon to another through quantum entanglement – without actually travelling the intervening distance." An exact copy appears on the other side, while the original photon is destroyed. According to theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, we consist of 15 trillion cells, so we'll need to wait a few centuries before we're teleporting like Kirk. And we'll still have to destroy the original.

12. Hypospray

In the world of Star Trek , there's no need for needles (and thus no trypanophobia )—Bones administered medicine through the skin using painless jet-injected hypospray. Recently, MIT created a similar device that, according to Geek.com , "delivers a drug through the skin at speeds of up to 340 meters per second and in under a millisecond. The amount of drug can be varied, as can how deep it is injected. And as far as the patient is concerned, they shouldn’t feel anything other than the tip of the injector against their skin. That’s because the jet is as thin as a mosquito’s proboscis." It's not the first, but it does have more control than other hyposprays, which means it could actually be a replacement for needles—and that would make visits to the doctor's office with your kids much easier.

James Darren, "Gidget" actor, singer and director, dies at 88

Updated on: September 3, 2024 / 7:37 PM EDT / CBS/AP

James Darren, a teen idol who helped ignite the 1960s surfing craze as a charismatic beach boy paired off with Sandra Dee in the hit film "Gidget," died Monday at 88.

Darren died in his sleep at a Los Angeles hospital, his son Jim Moret confirmed to CBS News.

Moret told CBS News that Darren was admitted to the hospital last week for an aortic valve replacement, but he was unable to receive one due to his strength at the time. He was then rushed back to the hospital on Sunday.

"It was kind of a surprise to be quite honest with you," Moret told CBS News. "I mean, we knew that he was not well, but we didn't expect this."

Moret said Darren wasn't in pain and that he "was able to express his love for his family."

In his long career, Darren acted, sang and built up a successful behind-the-scenes career as a television director, helming episodes of such well-known series as "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Melrose Place." In the 1980s, he was Officer Jim Corrigan on the television cop show "T.J. Hooker."

But to young movie fans of the late 1950s, he would be remembered best as Moondoggie, the dark-haired surfer boy in the smash 1959 release "Gidget." Dee starred as the title character, a spunky Southern Californian who hits the beach and eventually falls in love with Moondoggie.

"I was in love with Sandra," Darren later recalled. "I thought that she was absolutely perfect as Gidget. She had tremendous charm."

The film was based on a novel that a California man, Frederick Kohner, had written about his own teenage daughter and helped spur interest in surfing — one that influenced pop music, slang and even fashion.

For Darren, his success with teen fans led to a recording contract, as it did with many young actors at the time, among them Tab Hunter and Annette Funicello. Two of Darren's singles, "Goodbye Cruel World" and "Her Royal Majesty," reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. "Goodbye Cruel World" also appeared in Steven Spielberg's 2022 semi-autobiographical film, "The Fabelmans."Other singles included "Gidget" and "Angel Face."

Darren was the only "Gidget" cast member who appeared in both its sequels, 1961's "Gidget Goes Hawaiian" and 1963's "Gidget Goes to Rome." Dee was replaced by Deborah Walley in the second film and Cindy Carol in the third. "Gidget" later became a television show, launching the career of Sally Field.

"They had me under contract; I was a prisoner," Darren told Entertainment Weekly in 2004. "But with those lovely young ladies, it was the best prison I think I'll ever be in."

As a contract player at Columbia Studios, Darren appeared in grown-up films, too, including "The Brothers Rico," "Operation Meatball" and "The Guns of Navarone."

By the mid-'60s, when Darren appeared in "For Those Who Think Young" and "The Lively Set," his big-screen acting career was almost over. He appeared in just a handful of movies after the 1960s ended, last appearing in 2017's "Lucky," directed by John Carroll Lynch.

But he remained active on television, appearing as a lead on the sci-fi show "The Time Tunnel" in the late 1960s, and doing guest spots and small recurring roles in TV shows such as "The Love Boat," "Hawaii Five-O" and "Fantasy Island."

Darren was a series regular for four seasons of the William Shatner-starrer "T.J. Hooker" in the 1980s. While appearing on the show, he noticed that no director was listed for an upcoming sequence and asked if he could try out for it.

"When it was shown, I got several offers to direct," he told the New York Daily News. "Soon I was getting so many offers to direct, I kind of gave up acting and singing."

For almost two years, Darren directed episodes of "Walker, Texas Ranger," "Hunter," "Melrose Place," "Beverly Hills 90210" and other series. He returned to acting in the 1990s with small roles in "Melrose Place" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine."

Darren was born James Ercolani in 1936 and grew up in South Philadelphia, not far from such fellow teen idols of the 1950s and '60s as Fabian and Frankie Avalon. Singing came easy to him, and at 14 he was appearing in local nightclubs.

"From the age of 5 or 6 I knew I wanted to be an entertainer, or famous maybe," he said in a 2003 interview with the News-Press of Fort Myers, Florida. He noted that such luminaries as Eddie Fisher and Al Martino had lived in the same area as he did, "a real neighborhood. It made you feel you could be successful, too."

According to a 1958 Los Angeles Times profile, he got a break when he went to New York to get some pictures taken and the photographer's office put him in touch with a talent scout.

He was soon signed by Columbia Pictures, and the newspaper said that after a few appearances, his fan mail at the studio was running "second only to Kim Novak's. ... The studio now feels that the young man is ready to hit the jackpot."

Darren married his first wife, Gloria, in 1955 and together had Moret, an "Inside Edition" correspondent and former CNN anchorman. After a divorce he married Evy Norlund, who came to the U.S. as the Danish entry in the Miss Universe contest. They had two sons, Christian and Anthony.

He was also the godfather of Nancy Sinatra's daughter A.J. Lambert.

"One of my dearest, closest friends in all the world, of all my life has passed away," Sinatra wrote on social media. "Godfather to my daughter, AJ. Wishing him a fast & beautiful journey through the Universe & beyond. Godspeed, sweet Jimmy. My heart is torn but full of love for Evy, Christian, Anthony & Jimmy Jr."

Trump Steps Up Threats to Imprison Those He Sees as Foes

The former president is vowing to prosecute those he sees as working to deny him a victory, while laying the groundwork to claim large-scale voter fraud if he loses.

A close portrait of Donald Trump, with the lower right corner of the photograph obscured in shadow.

By Charlie Savage Maggie Haberman Jonathan Swan and Michael Gold

Donald J. Trump has long used strongman-style threats to prosecute people he vilifies as a campaign tactic, dating back to encouraging his 2016 rallygoers to chant “lock her up” about Hillary Clinton. And during his term as president, he repeatedly pressed the Justice Department to open investigations into his political adversaries.

But as November nears, the former president has escalated his vows to use the raw power of the state to impose and maintain control and to intimidate and punish anyone he perceives as working against him.

After the Supreme Court bestowed presidents with substantial immunity from prosecution over the summer, and Democrats replaced President Biden with Vice President Kamala Harris as their 2024 nominee — eroding Mr. Trump’s lead in the polls — Mr. Trump’s targets expanded.

He has been laying the groundwork to claim that there was large-scale voter fraud if he loses, a familiar tactic from his 2016 and 2020 playbooks, but this time coupled with threats of prosecution. Those who may face criminal scrutiny for purported efforts at election fraud, Mr. Trump has declared, will include election workers, a tech giant, political operatives, lawyers and donors working for his opponent.

Over the past month, he has shared a post calling for former President Barack Obama to be subject to “ military tribunals ” and reposted fake images of well-known Democrats clad in prison garb. He has threatened the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg with a life sentence for helping state and local governments fund elections in 2020 . He stoked fears of voter intimidation by urging police officers to “watch for the voter fraud” at polling places because some voters may be “afraid of that badge,” and warned that people deemed to have “cheated” in this election “will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

“WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again,” Mr. Trump wrote on his website Truth Social on Saturday .

He added: “Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”

In his latest book, “Save America,” Mr. Trump threatened Mr. Zuckerberg, who in 2020 donated, with his wife, more than $400 million to nonpartisan groups that helped local election agencies deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, such as by expanding access to mail-in balloting. Mr. Trump has falsely portrayed that effort as an illegal contribution to the 2020 Biden campaign.

“We are watching him closely, and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison” Mr. Trump wrote. (Amid Mr. Trump’s threats, which he has also posted on social media and delivered in interviews and at rallies, Mr. Zuckerberg has sought to smooth things over, describing the former president's raised-fist response to the attempted assassination as “badass” and saying he would not get involved this election cycle.)

Mr. Trump’s portrayal of people he perceives as his political opponents as election criminals is particularly striking in light of his own record.

He has been convicted of 34 felonies for altering business records to cover up a hush-money payment in the 2016 election that violated campaign finance laws, and he has been charged in both federal and state court with conspiring to fraudulently alter the outcome of the 2020 election. Whenever Mr. Trump’s own actions come under legal scrutiny, he portrays law enforcement efforts as illegitimate and politicized.

In a statement, the Trump campaign defended his recent threats without pointing to any evidence of a conspiracy underway to commit major voter fraud.

“President Trump believes anyone who breaks the law should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, including criminals who engage in election fraud,” said Karoline Leavitt, a Trump campaign spokeswoman. “Without free and fair elections, you can’t have a country. Ask Venezuela.”

Mr. Trump often likes to say people should be prosecuted as a way of disparaging them, sometimes with no obvious connection to any law. Among them: people involved in enacting California laws aimed at protecting transgender students , a group of retired intelligence officials who in October 2020 signed a letter expressing their opinion that apparent Hunter Biden emails reported on by The New York Post might be from a Russian information operation, and critics of conservative judges .

While some of what Mr. Trump has called for could be discounted as his usual hyperbolic, norm-busting rhetoric, his record in office suggests that other parts of what he is saying cannot be treated as unserious or figurative.

As president, Mr. Trump repeatedly pressured the Justice Department to prosecute his political adversaries, including Mrs. Clinton. At his urging, the department opened several politically tinged criminal investigations, from the scrutiny of former Secretary of State John Kerry and of the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey Jr. to the attempt by a special counsel, John Durham, to find a basis to charge Obama-era national security officials or Mrs. Clinton with crimes connected to the origins of the Russia investigation .

But to Mr. Trump’s fury, prosecutors did not ultimately find an evidentiary basis to bring charges against such figures.

Since Mr. Trump left office, several allies who have stayed on good terms with him — including Jeffrey B. Clark, a former Justice Department official who helped Mr. Trump try to overturn the 2020 election — have developed a blueprint to make the department in a second Trump term more systematically subject to direct White House control , erasing the post-Watergate norm of Justice Department investigative independence.

And Mr. Trump has made clear he plans to direct Justice Department investigations if he gets another term, starting with a vow to direct a prosecutor to “go after” Mr. Biden and his family . He has also threatened criminal investigations of prosecutors who have brought charges against him.

He could do so with near impunity. In July, the six Republican appointees on the Supreme Court announced that current and former presidents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution over official actions that are “core” to their constitutional powers. The majority bloc also declared that a president’s exercise of authority over the investigative and prosecutorial functions of the Justice Department meet that standard.

Mr. Trump’s intent to unleash the coercive force of the government in a second administration is not limited to the Justice Department. He has promised to unilaterally deploy federal troops on domestic soil for several law enforcement purposes , including to suppress crime in big cities run by Democrats.

Mr. Trump’s view of “law and order” is conditional and often contradictory, dependent on whether the criminals in question are perceived as friends or foes.

He appears to view the presidential pardon power as a tool to enforce the law — or not — on his own terms, from rewarding loyalists to achieving policy aims. While in office, he urged his Customs and Border Protection commissioner, Kevin McAleenan, to illegally block asylum seekers from entering the country, assuring him that he would pardon him if he went to jail for it — leaving alarmed officials unsure if the president was joking. He has called for the death penalty for drug dealers, but when in office he pardoned drug dealers and commuted their sentences, highlighting his compassion for one former drug dealer, Alice Marie Johnson, in a high-profile campaign commercial.

He wants to unleash prosecutors to go after a broad range of people — but also to charge with crimes some prosecutors who displease him.

Attacking the Black prosecutors who investigated him in New York and Georgia, Mr. Trump has said he would “direct a completely overhauled” Department of Justice “to investigate every radical, out-of-control prosecutor in America for their illegal, racist-in-reverse enforcement of the law.” He has repeated this threat at dozens of campaign stops.

At the same time, he has made a motif of calling for immunizing or indemnifying local police officers from legal consequences if they break the law themselves while fighting crime. (In this vein, he has encouraged police officers to summarily shoot shoplifters as they leave stores — a brazenly illegal act.)

Mr. Trump has posed for photos with police officers who are guarding his motorcade during campaign stops, including one while he was in Manhattan for his criminal trial; his aides have posted those images on social media, appearing to signal that those forces approve of him. Many police unions have endorsed Mr. Trump, and in a speech before the Fraternal Order of Police on Friday , he called on local law enforcement officers to send an intimidating message to voters in order to prevent supposed cheating by Democrats.

“I hope you can watch — and you’re all over the place — watch for the voter fraud. Because we win — without voter fraud, we win so easily,” Mr. Trump said. “Hopefully we’re going to win anyway. But we want to keep it down, you can keep it down just by watching. Because, believe it or not, they’re afraid of that badge. They’re afraid of you people.”

Mr. Trump at times has also seemed to invite vigilantism as another form of coercive force. In the 2016 campaign, he offered to pay the legal bills of any supporters who beat up protesters at his rallies. More recently, he has vowed to pardon supporters charged with or convicted of crimes as part of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

When federal prosecutors last year sought a gag order barring Mr. Trump from vilifying people related to the election subversion case, they cited a series of threats and other harassment endured by election workers and others he has attacked , saying he “knows that when he publicly attacks individuals and institutions, he inspires others to perpetrate threats and harassment against his targets.”

Mr. Trump has exhibited a lifelong view of the criminal justice system and the exercise of state coercive force as an instrument of power to be used to impose order, not as a system in which innocence is presumed or restraint is the ideal.

In 1989, when five Black and Latino teenagers were accused of the brutal rape of a jogger in New York City’s Central Park, he took out newspaper ads calling for New York State to adopt the death penalty . (The teenagers were later exonerated, and officials found that police had coerced false confessions.) The following year, Mr. Trump expressed admiration for how the Chinese Communist Party had used its military and “the power of strength” to crush the pro-democracy protest in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.

Mr. Trump has also spoken of turning both federal law enforcement power and the fear of extrajudicial violence upon members of the news media, which he has long maligned as the “enemy of the people.” He has repeatedly suggested prison rape as a means of inducing the Politico reporters who in 2022 obtained and published a leaked draft of the Supreme Court decision that would end abortion rights to reveal their source.

“You get the information very easily,” Mr. Trump said at a November 2022 rally . “You tell the reporter, ‘Who is it?’ and the reporter will either tell you or not. And if the reporter doesn’t want to tell you, it’s bye-bye. The reporter goes to jail. And when the reporter learns that he’s going to be married in two days to a certain prisoner, that’s extremely strong, tough and mean, he will say, you know — he or she — ‘You know, I think I’m going to give you the information. Here’s the leaker. Get me the hell out of here!’”

Star trek isn’t supposed to have money: what is latinum, after 57 years, star trek settles the truth about trelane's godlike species.

Lore introduces the gods as "Kardashevs" in Star Trek #23, delving into the scientific side of the god-like beings in the universe.
The Kardashev Scale measures a civilization's energy progress, with god-like beings in Star Trek classified as a Type 3 civilization.
Lore exploits the weakness of the gods, humanizing them and showcasing their vulnerability to scientific laws and mortal principles.

Warning: contains spoilers for Star Trek #23!

Star Trek has at long last unveiled the official “technobabble” term for its god-like beings. Two years ago, IDW revitalized their line of Star Trek comics with a “God War,” that spanned the franchise. The story explores the relationship between humanity and their gods, giving these powerful beings new layers. Now in Star Trek #23, another new wrinkle is introduced: a scientific name for the gods.

Lore's plan to destroy the universe was likely inspired by CONTROL, Section 31's original AI that went rogue during Star Trek: Discovery's second season.

Star Trek #23 is written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly and drawn by Megan Levens. Lore, Data’s evil brother, has crashed a gathering of the gods at the Pleroma . Lore seeks to become a god himself, and sees the assembled deities as a threat to his agenda.

Shortly after arriving at the Pleroma, Lore addresses the gods as “Kardashevs.”

Star Trek's God War Was Just the Beginning

The god war has spurred some of starfleet's biggest technological breakthroughs.

Lore christening the gods “Kardashevs” keeps with the grand themes IDW’s Star Trek line is exploring. The Klingon Emperor Kahless II launches a campaign of genocide against the universe’s god-like beings. Kahless’ actions threatened all reality, but Captain Ben Sisko and a ragtag group of Starfleet officers culled from all iterations of the franchise were successful in stopping him. Instrumental to Sisko’s victory was the mysterious Vulcan T’Lir, revealed to be the last of the Organians. T’Lir’s vast, universal knowledge allowed Sisko and his crew to create new technology capable of working on scales previously unheard of.

T’Lir and their crewmates used the term “Kardashev” often as they frantically worked to stop Kahless. The Kardashev Scale, named for Russian scientist Nikolai Kardashev, measures a civilization’s progress based on how efficiently they process energy. The god-like beings of the Star Trek universe are immensely powerful, and in T’Lir’s estimation, are a Kardashev Type 3 civilization. T’Lir also helped fashion a new warp drive system capable of entering the Pleroma. They dubbed it the “Kardashev Drive” thanks to its ability to process tachyonic energy. The Kardashev Drive was wildly successful, potentially becoming a game-changer.

Star Trek's Technobabble Applies Even to the Gods

Lore is exploiting the gods' weaknesses.

The introduction of a scientific name for Star Trek’s gods also humanizes these beings, showing them to be ultimately subjected to the same scientific laws and principles mortals are bound by.

Star Trek is known for “techno-babble,” and hanging the word “Kardashev” on the gods is another example of this trend. The introduction of a scientific name for Star Trek’s gods also humanizes these beings, showing them to be ultimately subjected to the same scientific laws and principles mortals are bound by. In his crusade to destroy the gods, Kahless reveals they have a serious weakness, one that Lore is now exploiting. The “Kardashevs” must now work with the same lesser beings they disdain if they wish to survive the horrors Lore is about to visit in the Star Trek universe.

Starfleet Medical

From the mid-2150s onward, the department carried as its emblem a stylized version of the double-snaked medical caduceus symbol from ancient Greek mythology – a practice of the original Earth Starfleet carried over to unified Federation crews after the UFP founding in 2161. The symbol can be seen aboard the United Earth-era NX-class sickbay , prominently featured on the transparent access doors to sickbay ( ENT : " Broken Bow ", " Regeneration "), something repeated two centuries later with the Galaxy -class . ( TNG : " Remember Me ") Starfleet Medical also provided medical supplies for freighters of the Earth Cargo Service . ( ENT : " Fortunate Son ")

In the 2260s (when the emblem was replaced for a first time with a variant design), 2270s (when the original emblem was reintroduced) and the 2280s (which saw another briefly used design variant), the emblem was worn by starship medical personnel on their garments when on duty in sickbay. ( TOS : " Where No Man Has Gone Before "; Star Trek: The Motion Picture ; Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan )

Organization [ ]

Starfleet Medical was a branch of Starfleet, though given some authorities over other sub-divisions in certain circumstances.

At least one medical frigate , the USS Hiawatha , was operated by Starfleet Medical in the 23rd century as indicated by the emblem on the primary hull and its ubiquitous presence in the holding bay. The ship was presumed lost in 2256 , during the Federation-Klingon War , but its wreckage was located by accident by USS Discovery , and some Hiawatha survivors were subsequently rescued. ( DIS : " Brother ")

USS Pasteur bridge ( anti-time 2395 )

In one alternate timeline as well, Starfleet Medical was known to operate at least one other hospital ship of its own as well, the USS Pasteur , as indicated by its emblems on the primary hull and their prominent presence on the bridge . It too was destroyed by the Klingons in 2395 . ( TNG : " All Good Things... ")

Starfleet Medical was known to have conducted " ESP " tests on Starfleet officers in order to ascertain such abilities within its officer corps. Two officers found with high scores had been Elizabeth Dehner and Gary Mitchell . ( TOS : " Where No Man Has Gone Before ")

Assistant Federation Commissioner Nancy Hedford blamed not having received the proper inoculations prior to her having contracted Sakuro's Disease , during her mission to Epsilon Canaris III in 2268 , on " the inefficiency of the medical branch of the Starfleet. " ( TOS : " Metamorphosis ")

In the 23rd century, an office existed known as the Starfleet Medical Surgeon General which held some command authority over Starfleet Medical, including the power to relieve starship medical officers for incompetence. ( TOS : " Turnabout Intruder "; DS9 : " The Quickening ")

Starfleet Medical was also the parent of the Starfleet Dental sub-division. ( DS9 : " Paradise Lost ")

Starfleet Medical exercised co-authority, with the captain , over starship sickbay personnel.

Starfleet Medical also owns and administers the Starfleet Medical Academy to which any Federation member can submit applicants.

In another alternate timeline , Starfleet Medical maintained at least one major Starfleet Medical Facility in the city of San Francisco , with one of its main buildings being called the " Starfleet Medical Center " in 2404 . ( VOY : " Endgame ")

Responsibilities [ ]

Starfleet Medical maintained many diagnostic and treatment wards, utilizing the most advanced technologies in the Federation. Long-term facilities were available to care for seriously ill patients. ( VOY : " Endgame ")

It was also responsible for all medical research activities in the Federation. Researchers were required to obtain approval from Starfleet Medical before proceeding with new treatments and medications . ( TNG : " Ethics ")

Starfleet Medical was also responsible for the regulation and training of the various counselors in Starfleet. ( DS9 : " Afterimage ")

It maintained a large database of medical information available to Starfleet personnel. ( TNG : " Realm Of Fear ", " Genesis ")

Regulations [ ]

As a subsidiary division of Starfleet, Starfleet Medical is subject to their General Orders and Regulations and several of those are specifically directed at the division, including,

Regulation 121 (Section A): The chief medical officer has the power to relieve an officer or crewman of his or her duties (including one of superior rank) if, in the CMO's professional judgment, the individual is medically unfit, compromised by an alien intelligence ( TNG : " Lonely Among Us "), or otherwise exhibits behavior that indicates seriously impaired judgment. A Starfleet officer can face court martial for failing to submit to such a relief. ( VOY : " Year of Hell, Part II ")

A variant of the above regulation was seen in TOS : " The Doomsday Machine ".

In an alternate timeline generated by the Krenim , Captain Kathryn Janeway was relieved of her duties under this regulation by Voyager 's EMH, who had been observing reckless behavior on her part for weeks and attributed it to Traumatic Stress Syndrome . Janeway refused to surrender her duties, as she felt her efforts to bring her crew home were of more importance. Since security personnel had abandoned the ship, the EMH had no means of enforcing the regulation anyway. Janeway's actions later resulted in the erasure of this timeline, so the issue was nonexistent.

In 2375 aboard the Silver Blood Voyager , Neelix became, unofficially, chief medical officer after the loss of The Doctor. He threatened in a lighthearted manner to use his "authority" to relieve Janeway of her duties when she insisted on remaining in command although fatigued . ( VOY : " Course: Oblivion ")

One of the standards established by Starfleet Medical stated that soldiers could not be posted on a single combat assignment for a period exceeding ninety days . ( DS9 : " The Siege of AR-558 ")
Another stated that physician must be present when administering arithrazine . ( VOY : " The Omega Directive ")

A captain , when acting in accordance with the Omega Directive , could override this protocol.

Starfleet and Vulcan personnel discuss Klaang

Interior of Starfleet Medical in 2151

In 2151 , the Klingon courier Klaang was brought to Starfleet Medical after being shot with a plasma rifle while on Earth. There, he was treated by Doctor Phlox , who had been stationed at Starfleet Medical through the Interspecies Medical Exchange . Captain Archer subsequently asked Phlox to join his crew as the chief medical officer aboard Enterprise NX-01 . ( ENT : " Broken Bow ")

The interior of the Starfleet Medical facility shown in "Broken Bow" was a redress of the set later used to represent Enterprise 's armory (which was built for the episode but not used therein). ("Broken Bow" text commentary , ENT Season 1 DVD ) In its Starfleet Medical guise, the set also included the glass from the EMH's office from Star Trek: Voyager ("Broken Bow" text commentary, ENT Season 1 DVD) and a reused pair of Ten Forward doors from Star Trek: The Next Generation . [1] (X) Presumably owing to Phlox's presence in the medical ward, the text commentary for "Broken Bow" refers to the room as the "Interspecies Medical Exchange ward." Other than Phlox being in the room, however, no correlation between that area of Starfleet Medical and the IME is given in the installment's revised final draft script nor in the actual episode. [2]

In the 2260s of the alternate reality , information on this agency was located in the Federation database . ( Star Trek Beyond )

This agency was mentioned in a list of Starfleet agencies, which appeared to the left of the personnel file for Balthazar Edison . [3]

In 2365 , Dr. Beverly Crusher served at the headquarters of Starfleet Medical. ( TNG : " The Child ", " Evolution ")

Dr. Toby Russell had submitted a request to test the genetronic replicator on humanoids three times by 2368 . Each time, Starfleet Medical refused to allow use of the technology. ( TNG : " Ethics ")

In 2369 , Doctor Julian Bashir told a Bajoran woman he dated in the Replimat about his exam at Starfleet Medical. ( DS9 : " Q-Less ") Shortly thereafter, he told Major Kira Nerys that he learned, in his first year at the medical school, never to trust a tricorder . ( DS9 : " The Passenger ")

When Doctor Crusher was faced with a board of inquiry in 2369, she told Guinan she could already hear Admiral Brooks telling Crusher how she'd disgraced Starfleet Medical. ( TNG : " Suspicions ")

Odo visited Starfleet Medical in 2372 , where they performed medical tests on him to gain information that could be used against the Founders . It was during this examination that Odo was infected with a morphogenic virus by the covert intelligence group Section 31 . ( DS9 : " When It Rains... ")

In 2374 , Starfleet Medical hosted a conference on Casperia Prime . ( DS9 : " Inquisition ")

Species 8472 recreated Starfleet Medical as part of their Earth simulation in 2375 . ( VOY : " In the Flesh ")

Julian Bashir stated that he would protest to Starfleet about Benjamin Sisko 's transfer of Bio-mimetic gel to an unknown person. ( DS9 : " In the Pale Moonlight ")

Odo contracted the morphogenic virus in late 2375 , a disease that had already begun killing the Founders of the Dominion . Starfleet Medical was unwilling to assist Julian Bashir in his research for a cure and refused him access to Odo's medical file , believing Bashir was trying to help the enemy. When Benjamin Sisko requested the file, they sent a copy of Mora Pol 's medical file on Odo, taken decades previously, in an attempt to hinder Bashir's efforts. ( DS9 : " When It Rains... ")

In 2376 , Lieutenant Reginald Barclay inquired if Dr. Lewis Zimmerman had heard back from Starfleet Medical, though their doctors still hadn't been able to identify what ailment was threatening Dr. Zimmerman's life. ( VOY : " Life Line ")

According to the script for Star Trek Nemesis , Dr. Crusher was reassigned to the HQ of Starfleet Medical again at the end of the film.

In an alternate timeline , in which it took the USS Voyager twenty-three years to return to Earth, Tuvok was sent to live at the Starfleet Medical Facility in San Francisco, having succumbed to a mental condition while aboard in 2378 . He was treated for his affliction in the Starfleet Medical Center building. The holographic doctor of Voyager was working at the medical facility in 2404 and was helping Tuvok, as well as working on the project to develop chronexaline . ( VOY : " Endgame ")

Background information [ ].

A plethora of Starfleet Medical related production assets, both props and insignia, was auctioned off after Star Trek prime temporarily ceased production in 2005, in auctions such as 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection , It's A Wrap! sale and auction , and the various auctions of Profiles in History and Propworx . A far from exhaustive listing of these items, can be found in The Star Trek Auction Listings archive.

The very first medical caduceus symbol was seen in two episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series on the sickbay garments of Dr. Mark Piper and bedridden patients ( Gary Mitchell and Khan Noonien Singh ), and consisted of two snakes wrapped around an elongated Starfleet arrowhead surrounded by a wreath. ( TOS : " Where No Man Has Gone Before ", " Space Seed ")

The second, more stylized, medical caduceus symbol was designed by Lee Cole and Rick Sternbach , the graphic designers for Star Trek: The Motion Picture and was seen as badges on garments of medical personnel on duty in sickbay. For Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan , Cole came up with a more artful variant which was now worn as a pin instead as a badge, and was only featured in this production.

Cole's successor for the modern television franchise, Scenic Artist Mike Okuda, co-author ot the aforementioned Encyclopedia , adopted their original design, and the symbol was most frequently seen throughout the entire run of the modern television franchise on the new medkits , introduced during the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation . (" The Arsenal of Freedom ") Okuda also retconned the symbol as signage throughout the sickbay of the Enterprise NX-01 in Star Trek: Enterprise , thereby canonically establishing that the symbol had been in use for over two centuries, being adopted for Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as well. ( ENT : " Broken Bow ", " Dear Doctor "; ST : " Calypso "; DIS : " Brother "; SNW : " Ghosts of Illyria ", " All Those Who Wander ") Strictly speaking, the introduction of the Cole designed symbol in Strange New Worlds , meant that it, from an in-universe point of view, must have had been replaced by the original one as seen in the Original Series , shortly after James T. Kirk took over the captaincy of the USS Enterprise from Christopher Pike .

Yet, both Cole/Sternbach and Okuda, unwittingly perhaps, perpetuated the misconception, especially held in the United States, that the double serpent-entwined caduceus was the proper symbol for medicine and healing, which it was not. The proper symbol has traditionally been the Rod of Asclepius , a single serpent-entwined rod, lacking the wings, wielded by Asclepius , in Greek mythology the god of healing and medicine. The caduceus on the other hand, was the rod carried by Hermes , the god of travelers, commerce and thieves, and his rod has since then become the symbol of commerce. Hermes was concurrently the messenger of the gods, and was therefore often depicted with wings on his helmet and sandals, indicative of speedy delivery, hence the wings on his rod.

The proper symbol was on at least three occasions featured in a Star Trek production; On Doctor Leonard McCoy 's SS uniform as a left sleeve patch in the Star Trek: The Original Series second season episode " Patterns of Force ", and as a slip-over lapel on the shoulder strap of the uniform of a Beta Hirogen SS medic in Star Trek: Voyager 's fourth season episode " The Killing Game, Part II ". In a somewhat artistic interpretation, the proper symbol was also seen as the symbol representing the advanced medical science technology of the Aquans in the Star Trek: The Animated Series episode " The Ambergris Element ".

For unclear reasons, the misconception originated in the United States when the caduceus was introduced shortly before the American Civil War as the symbol for the US Medical Corps. Surviving Civil War uniforms of the Union Medical Corps show the symbol embroided on a green band, worn as a chevron on both sleeves. ( Echoes of Glory: Arms and Equipment of the Union , Time-Life Books, 1991, pp. 158-159) Oddly enough though, during the war the official coat of arms of the corps was introduced featuring the proper Rod of Asclepius medical symbol, [4] but the use of the improper caduceus persisted unabated in the USA. Incidentally, the color green – since the Middle Ages traditionally associated with nature and life, [5] and thus by inference with medicine and to this day the color for pharmacy, first aid, and animal care in the western world – was adhered to in the first six Star Trek films as the color signifying medical divisions, shown in the fields of their personnel's insignia as well as being the color of their undershirts, before returning to the various shades of blue, the generic color signifying all sciences divisions , as already established in The Original Series .

1940s USAAF medical collar pin

The misconception was perpetuated for nearly a century in the US armed forces until the interbellum years, when the medical branches of the US Airforce [6] and the US Navy [7] started to carry the proper symbol on their coat of arms. And while the US Army Medical Department (as have US civilian medical institutions) has followed suit with its revived original Civil War-era coat of arms, the armed forces chose to continue the usage of the caduceus for their individual (regimental) badges and insignia, as could be seen on the uniform of USAAF nurse Garland in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season four episode " Little Green Men ". It was because of its continued use by the armed forces that the moniker "caduceus" has been augmented in parlance to " medical caduceus " to indicate its use as the latter.

Cole's original design, which has never gained formal real world recognition, has to some extent been adopted by other Hollywood productions, as at least one long running television show, the CBS Studios crime series NCIS , is known to have adopted the symbol on its featured ambulance as well. [8] In reality, the by far most utilized symbol on ambulances in the USA, is the blue (or on rarer occasions red – predominantly by government institutions – or green, as explained above) six-pointed Star of Life , featuring the proper Rod of Asclepius in its center.
