Temporal Accord
- According to Daniels, All species that had time travel agreed in a
Temporal Accord
it would only be used for research. Daniels
points out a group from 2769 watching the construction of
the pyramids and fully obeying the terms of the
Accord, so I'm assuming the agreement was ratified before
that date. However, when time-travel is
involved, dates lose their significance, so I'm not sure we can
pin this fact down.
"Cold Front" [ENT]
Since history never recorded the disaster, the
faction that the Suliban work with violated the Temporal

Fortunately their "escape pods" worked. The Tesnians are
rattled; most had been aboard for years. 34 of
the Tesnian passengers were rescued. Phlox can fit
only 12 in the decon chamber at a time; they need at
least 6 hours of boron gas per day; fortunately
Enterprise has enough for the ferry ride home to

Tetracyanate six two two -
Phlox determines that the disfiguring disease that some of the Akaali
are
suffering from is caused by contamination of the
groundwater. They are being poisoned by
"tetracyanate 6-2-2"; it's a toxic synthetic
compound usually used as an industrial lubricant. Archer
reports that "a veridium isotope" is being mined,
and the drill bits are saturated with tetracyanate.
The molecular structure on his monitor has a highly
branched structure and has three 6-sided rings.
The number is "622" (like "Invar 36"), may
denote one of an entire series of compounds; or "6,2,2"
(like "2,2',4,4',6-pentabromodiphenylether"), an
IUPAC-like shorthand denoting which sites on the
backbone have been functionalized; or
"<6,2,2>" indicating the direction of crystal axes; etc.
Presumably, it was Dr. Phlox who provided the
medicine that will cure the Akaali; only one dose is
needed.

"Horizon" [ENT]
Thermobaric clouds - The Delphic
Expanse is surrounded by thick layers of thermobaric clouds. One
Vulcan ship took almost 6 hours to get
through. Enterprise entered the clouds at 0.2 impulse and it
took them more than 6 hours to get through.
They launched a communications buoy while inside the
clouds so they could keep in contact with Starfleet.
"The Expanse" [ENT]
Two Osaarian merchant ships had entered the Expanse,
scouting for trade routes,
but the thermobaric clouds wouldn't permit their

"Fight or Flight" [ENT]
In 2369, Starfleet Intelligence was led to believe
that the Cardassians were utilizing theta-band emissions
as a delivery system for a powerful mutagenic

"Broken Bow" [ENT]
Thruster - A propulsion device
used for maneuvering and slow movement. After taking a hit from
the
Suliban hand weapons, the starboard thruster on the
shuttlepod goes out. The crew manages to take
off and make it back to the ship anyway. (Since
there are 4 thrusters on the shuttle, and assuming
that there needs to be at least two thrusters
operating on opposite sides for the shuttle to maneuver
and fly, the "starboard thruster" probably only
refers to thruster #4.)
"Broken Bow" [ENT]
When the shuttlepod tries to land in the windstorm,
"thruster four" is knocked out, (all four throats
still glow blue, so either this was only an
instrument error, or perhaps the thruster was still working
but control of it was lost.)

"Breaking the Ice" [ENT]
When Archer refuses to hand over the derelict time

green tractor beam and lock onto the Enterprise
while still at warp. Archer orders "hull plating" and
"aft torpedoes"; but Reed reports the beam is
interfering with "targeting scans". Later, the Tholians
tractor the future derelict time ship after the
Enterprise releases it.

provide clues to prevent seismic disasters on
Denobula.
"The Breach" [ENT]
Trade complex - A building made
up of interconnecting structures for the business of buying and selling
commodities.
The trade complex on Rigel X has 36 levels with
docking ports on the roof (the Enterprise shuttlepod
was at docking port 3). It is regulated by
Central Security. On level 19 in the easternmost subsection
by the geothermal shafts is a Klingon enclave, and
live food is available there. This was the location of
a meeting between Klaang and Sarin in 2151.
Captain Archer led a landing party down to the trade
complex in an attempt to locate the kidnapped
Klaang.
"Broken Bow" [ENT]
Transceiver-
A device functioning both as a transmitter and/or a receiver as
required.
The transceiver was found to be intact on the Axanar
ship.
"Fight or Flight" [ENT]
Commander Tucker discovered that T'Pol was receiving
covert communications when he noticed a
power surge in Enterprise's transceiver array.
"Breaking the Ice" [ENT]
Hoshi was running a diagnostic of the subspace
transceiver array after the launch of Echo two, their
second
subspace-amplifier.
"Silent Enemy" [ENT]
After encountering an anomaly, the transceiver was
one of the systems that went out. It was still
out even after Reed got emergency power. Hoshi
managed to get it back online (the warp drive had
not been fixed yet so I assume warp power is not
necessary for this particular system.)
"Anomaly" [ENT]
Transdimensional
Disturbance - The Enterprise encountered a Transdimensional
disturbance. It
had an orange-bubbly
appearance. "Harbinger" [ENT]
The Enterprise encountered another newly created
transdimensional disturbance in the process of
rapidly reconfiguring the region of space between
them and Azati Prime. This time it had a
purple-cloudy appearance. It would have taken
two weeks to go around it, but since it was newly
formed the space wasn't entirely reconfigured
yet. The decision was made to go through it. At
warp 4 it would have taken less than an hour, but
Tucker wasn't happy using the warp engines
inside the phenomenon, so they had to take 4 days at
impulse speeds. The properties of trans-
dimensional space damages the neocortex of humans
(permanent damage in minutes, death in hours)
and of Vulcans (severity unknown), but it only has a
subtle, slow effect on Denobulans.
Denobulans are relatively immune to the effects but
will be effected after prolonged exposure.
Canines and Phlox's menagerie are unaffected.
However the effects can be counteracted by dampening
the crew's neurological activity (essentially, by
placing the crew into a comatose state while in the
affected
region).
"Doctor's Orders" [ENT]
Phlox was able to synthesize a neuroleptic compound
that was meant to keep the crew conscious in
the transformed space for approximately 12
minutes. He was able to extend that time to 15 minutes
but nothing could be done about epidermal (skin)
decay.

Transfer Conduits
- the two horizontal conduits, of rectangular cross-section, at the
"control panel"
end of the warp reactor (the big cylinder).
The antimatter input (although not necessarily heavy-duty
injectors, TNG-style) is through these.
"Cold Front" [ENT]
There are 8 of them. NX-01 managed to
get Seven of them back on line, but the eighth was still giving

better work up a bypass.
"Bound" [ENT]
Translation matrix
- by running speech through the translation matrix it makes it easier

Transport Vessel - Enterprise
encounters a transport vessel while investigating a stellar
nursery. The
transport vessel is much smaller than Ent. It
is transporting pilgrims to witness the Great Plume of
Agosoria. Archer extends an invitation to its

Trelkis Three - A planet with
multi-centric rings that Travis wanted to visit when he was young.
"Horizon" [ENT]
Trellium
- Trellium is an alloy that protects against
spatial anomalies. Ships in the Expanse used it
to insulate their
hulls.
"Home" [ENT]
Trellium exists in at least two forms: -A and
-D. Only -D is useful for insulating against the Expanse's
anomalies. Trellium-A is extremely common and
easily synthesized, but Trellium-D is rare, and
difficult to process. Trellium-D can only be
synthesized in the liquid state. Its just as effective as
the natural ore, but the process is tricky -- it
requires extremely precise calculations. Its extremely
volatile (explosive) but only in its liquid
form. However, once emplaced and allowed to set, it's stable
and safe. When T'Pol and Tucker tried to synthesize
it, they reached a critical point when the
molecular pressure was at 1100 units, Tucker started
to increase theta bombardment by 6% but then
decided on 7%, the pressure was still rising, first
1400 units, then 1430. It was decided to kill the
theta radiation altogether, and try a sustained
burst of delta radiation which might do the trick, but
T'Pol was skeptical. Tucker ramped the delta to 80%,
but the pressure continued to climb up to
2000 units. Tucker and T'Pol got out just in
time before it exploded. T'Pol thought that some of
their calculations might have been slightly off.
"Rajiin" [ENT]
Enterprise encounters an asteroid field loaded with
trellium ore. They board a derelict Vulcan
ship and while exploring see a bulkhead that is
half-smeared with blue trellium. Phlox discovers that
trellium-D is a potent neurotoxin to Vulcans -- it
"disrupts the synaptic pathways that control emotions".
Tucker objects that he and T'Pol have been working
with it for weeks, but the doctor points out that
they never successfully synthesized it.
"Impulse" [ENT]
After being exposed to the trellium aboard the
Seleya, T'Pol found that it affected her in ways that
she wasn't prepared for. She discovered that
she could access certain emotions and she wanted more.
Despite the fact that trellium is deadly to Vulcans
she devised a way to inject it into her bloodstream.
After using the trellium for three months, it caused
significant damage to her neural pathways. Her
emotions became more difficult to control and
suppress. She may have to learn to live with them.

Tribble - A soft, furry
warm-blooded animal.
In 2153 they are extremely difficult to acquire
because they've been outlawed on most worlds --
Never-the-less, much to Ensign Sato's dismay, Phlox
managed to get one to feed to his pets in
sickbay. They aren't really dangerous; far
from it... All they are capable of doing is eating and
breeding. The problem is that they breed
prodigiously. The only thing that keeps their
population in check is the abundance of reptiles on
their homeworld.
"The Breach" [ENT]
Cyrano Jones gave one to Uhura. They
have no teeth. They're soft, furry and they make a pleasant
sound. Their purr / trilling seems to
have a tranquilizing effect on the human nervous system. Mr.
Spock protested that he was immune to its effects
but appeared to be affected none-the-less.
Almost 50% of the creature's metabolism is geared
for reproduction. If you feed a tribble too much
it doesn't get fat... it reproduces. When they
get near Klingons they emit a shrieking noise. They
are born pregnant, and are bisexual, reproducing at
will. Under the conditions at space station K7,
allowing for the amount of quadrotriticale grain
they would consume, and the size of the storage
compartment they had to multiply in, each tribble
should have been able to have an average litter of
10, and they would produce a new generation every 12
hours. Spock estimated there were 1771561
tribbles on the station after 3 days.
"The Trouble with Tribbles" [TOS], "Trials and Tribble-ations" [DS9]
In 2269 Cyrano Jones trafficked in a pink colored
breed of tribble that was supposedly safe. Instead
of breeding many individual young when overfed,
these new tribbles were colony creatures, creating
dozens of tribbles within their expanding bodies.
When McCoy treated them with neo-ethylene they
burst and spilt out the individual tribbles. Scott
beamed the tribble colonies over to the Klingon ship
when Kirk instructed him to implement Plan B. The
Klingons burst the tribble colonies with disruptor
fire.
"More Tribbles, More Troubles" [TAS]
They are seen in the bar visited by McCoy.
"The Search for Spock" [ST3]
Tricobolt - The Romulan cloaked
mine contained tricobolt explosives.
"Minefield" [ENT]
The Mirror-Tholians wanted to lure a ship from
another universe, so they detonated a tricobalt device
near a "dead star," creating a rift, into which they
broadcast a distress signal.
"In a Mirror Darkly" [ENT]
Tricyclic plasma drive - Suliban
ships utilize tricyclic plasma drives. Very hard to track unless
your
sensors can pick up and analyze plasma decay.
"Broken Bow" [ENT]
Trifluorinate compound - Used to seal teeth to prevent tooth decay.
Triglobulin - Material released
into the Axanar bloodstream by their zymuth gland. It is similar
to
human lymphatic fluid and is used to create
medicines, and vaccines. It is quite a common practice
for some species to even use it as an
aphrodisiac. The NX-01 happened upon a derelict ship that an
alien race had attacked. They left behind a
biopump that was being used to collect triglobulin from
the 15 Axanar corpses which were found there.
"Fight or Flight" [ENT]
"Triglobulin
Harvesters" - For lack of anything else to call them, I've
adopted this name. These are the aliens
who attacked and were attempting to drain the Axanar
of their triglobulin. One of the Axanar was
killed with a lethal dose of chloraxine, and 3 were
done in by particle weapons. The damage to the
Axanar ship was also consistent with high-yield
particle impact weapons. They have advanced
technology on their ship. The Enterprise
detected them approaching at a distance of 60000 km and it
took them 10 minutes (maybe less) to close that
distance. The Enterprise's sensors were not able to
penetrate their shielding to be able to tell what
kind of weapons they had, but they were able to tell
when they charged them. The aliens are capable
of performing submolecular bioscans. Their ships
can emit a "stabilizing" beam that captures their
enemy and disrupts their propulsions systems.
They fired a green beam which damaged and completely
depolarized the port nacelle. When the
distance between ships closed to 10 meters the
aliens began drilling into the hull. Their vessel's power
signature matched scans of the biopumps they left on
the Axanar ship.
"Fight or Flight" [ENT]
Trillius Prime
- A planet.
The captain told Tucker that Ensign Mayweather had been to Trillius
Prime.
It took Travis the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades
to get there. Could this be the Trill homeworld which
in the other series has simply been called Trill?
"Broken Bow" [ENT]
Trinary system - The Enterprise
encountered a "class-4 black hole" in trinary system. The "Vulcan
star charts" indicate the Vulcans have charted over
2000 black holes, but never one in a trinary.
"Singularity" [ENT]
Trinesium - A material that can
withstand 18,000 degrees. The Vissians have been constructing
their
starship hulls out of it for over a century.
"Cogenitor" [ENT]
Tritanium - Trip said it would
take 3-4-months to repair the damage from the Romulan mine, even if
he found sufficient "tritanium alloy".
"Dead Stop" [ENT]
Tritanium Cobalt - Archer needed
six kilos of Tritanium Cobalt to buy one his crew members on an
Orion slave market. Then he needed three more
kilos to bribe the guard to leave the neurolytic
restraint on the slave after deactivating it.
Tucker said that the total of nine kilos was half their supply.
"Borderland" [ENT]
Triton class Spatial Torpedo - SEE: Torpedo
Tropolisine
- a "psychotropic compound with hallucinogenic effects"; it's normally
found in
certain flowering plants, and is carried on their
pollen. Symptoms can include headaches,
hallucinations, distorted vision, and increasing
paranoia. If one is removed from the source of the
tropolisine, lucidity will return in about 3 to 4
hours. An Enterprise landing party suffered from
tropolisine hallucinations in 2151. But in
this
particular case, each tropolisine atom contained an
extra neutron. A submolecular scan could've
detected them but there was no reason to run such
a scan. When this neutron breaks down, a toxin
is released that is fatal if not treated
soon with inaprovaline.
SEE: Strange New World.
Note: the phrase "each tropolisine atom" causes
some problems. Perhaps tropolisine is a new
element and its name is likely assigned to it by
its medical history, rather than its physical
composition. But Phlox earlier had called
it a compound. It might be that Phlox was talking about
each atom in the tropolisine molecule; he could
be saying that "each carbon, nitrogen, etc. atom contains
an extra neutron, but that would be highly
unlikely. Most probably, the
tropolisine molecule contains
one "special" atom, sort of like the iron
atom in hemoglobin. This atom may have been an unstable
isotope with extra neutrons that would break down,
the radioactive decay of the one atom would
cause it to become a different element and the
tropolisine molecule would be converted into a toxin.
"Strange New World" [ENT]
Tucker III, Commander Charles "Trip"(Connor Trinneer) - SEE: Tucker
Turbolift - An "elevator"
aboard starships that travels through both vertical and horizontal
turboshafts
to reach many destinations on the ship.
"Broken Bow" [ENT]
Trip tells Archer he might need an engineer to help
him figure out how to use the turbolifts on the
alien
ship.
"Fight or Flight" [ENT]
Trip and T'Pol take the turbolift; Trip presses a
single button for their destination.
