G-type system - The "Proving
Grounds" for the Xindi super-weapon is in a G-type system with
six planets and over 100
moons. "Proving Ground" [ENT]
Gabrielle Witty - SEE: Witty, Gabrrielle.
Gagh - serpent worms, a Klingon
culinary delicacy.
"Sleeping Dogs" [ENT]
Connoisseurs of Klingon cuisine claim that gagh is
best when served very fresh, i.e. live.
"A Matter of Honor" [TNG]
Gagh is also served stewed. Picard and Riker
both claim to have developed a taste for the dish.

Galartha - cliffs on Risa. SEE: Risan Homeworld, Galartha
Galley - The kitchen of a
starship run by the mess officer, nicknamed 'chef'.
Hoshi says that 'chef' keeps the galley locked up
tight, presumably to keep people from cooking
their own
food.
"Silent Enemy" [ENT]
When approaching a singularity giving off an unknown
radiation, chef took ill and Sato had to take
over the galley for a couple of days.
"Singularity" [ENT]
Gallicite - There are major
gallicite deposits in the Forge on Vulcan. It might even be part
of the reason
for the geomagnetic instabilities in that
region. If anything metallic comes close to the deposits there
is a lightning like discharge from the deposit to
the metallic objects. The discharges are strong enough
that they might injure anyone carrying metal through
the area.
"Kir'Shara" [ENT]
It is a very rare substance. Voyager found
nearly a kiloton on the fourth planet of the Sakari system.
Torres said that was enough to completely refit the
warp coils, a process which took a little less than
one week. The colonists on the planet were
using gallicite to plate the conduits in an active power
system.

Gardner -
One of four test pilots for the NX Test Program to break warp
2. See Also: Archer,
Duval,
Robinson.
"First Flight" [ENT]
The Vulcans would have preferred to have had Gardner
as captain of Enterprise instead of Archer.
"Shadows of P'Jem" [ENT]
Garos (Wade
Andrew Williams) - An alien posing as an antiques dealer on the Akaali
homeworld.
Garos claims to be from the Malurian system, that he
led a survey mission to the Akaali world 2-y earlier,
and decided to stay. We have no independent
confirmation that Garos is a Malurian (eg, from T'pol);
so that might be a cover story for fellow
starfarers. What we know for sure was that he was actually
there secretly mining veridium isotope. His
mining operations were contaminating the ground water
which was poisoning the local Akaali.

"Civilization" [ENT]
Gas giant
- A type of large planet composed primarrily of gas. Archer
thought the gas giant which
contained the Suliban Helix within its atmosphere
was a class 6 or 7. It turned out to be a class 7
gas giant.
It had a radiation belt which dissipated warp trails
going through it. However, Enterprise was able to
compensate for this by recalibrating their sensor
array to a narrow band, short to mid-range, and
measuring particle density in the thermosphere.
"Broken Bow" [ENT]
Enterprise finds a class 9 gas giant and
decide to invesigate it. There were none in Earth's solar system.
They send in a probe which discovers a Klingon ship
adrift in its atmosphere. The Klingon scout
Somraw headed into the atmosphere of the gas giant
to make repairs, but became ill and the ship
descended too deep. The Klingon term for this
gas giant was Q'tahl-class.
"Sleeping Dogs" [ENT]
Tucker successfully tested some autopilot upgrades
on the shuttlepod near a gas giant which had
dozens of moons... He described it as a
gravitational jigsaw puzzle and the perfect spot to test
the
modifications.
"Dawn" [ENT]
Gavarian ship - One of the
Ferengi who boarded the Enterprise was familiar with a certain type of
locking mechanism found on a Gavarian ship. He
thought that there was a similar kind in sick bay.

Genetic engineering - The
scientific alteration of the structure of genetic material in a living
organism.
The Suliban employed advanced genetic engineering to
give themselves extraordinary physical abilities.
The level of engineering was beyond Doctor Phlox's
experience.

Genetic profile - If someone was
or is a member of Starfleet, their genetic profile is most likely in
Enterprise's

noted the
close similarity between the human genome and that
of an ape.

Geosynchronous orbit - The Ent

"geosynchronous" orbit on the far side of the
planet.
"Civilization" [ENT]
Geothermal shaft - A part of a
power generation system using internal planetary heat. The Rigel
X
trading complex uses geothermal shafts in its power
system.
"Broken Bow" [ENT]
Germs - When
Gabrielle Witty asked if germs could live in space, "Ship's physician"
Dr.Phlox
answered eagerly. Over 200-million
space-dwelling microbes have been cataloged. One of the most
virulent, "Polycoccyx astrix"(sp), is found inside
grains of interstellar dust. He once discovered a
colony on the hull of a
ship.
"Breaking the Ice" [ENT]
Ghost Story
- Mayweather is famous for telling ghostt stories.
"Oasis" [ENT]
Sitting around the campfire on Strange New World,
Mayweather tells a ghost story. T'Pol says there
are no ghost stories on Vulcan. Mayweather
tells the tale of a distress call recieved by a cargo vessel
which was not equipped for rescue operations.
The call came from a life pod of an old Y-500 class
freighter, a type of ship retired decades ago.
Bioscans showed one life sign in the escape pod which
had been drifting in space for 63 years.
George Webb, the ship’s assistant chief engineeer, said the
metal felt cold and that he could hear a tapping
noise from inside the pod, but when he opened the pod,
it was empty. Webb’s personality changed after the
incident ... he started acting oddly, often getting
into fights with the crew and muttering in some
unknown alien language. One day he locked himself in
engineering and overloaded the impulse engines,
nearly destroying the ship. During the emergency he
fled and jettisoned himself in another
lifepod. Some say to this day, that he drifts in space -
possessed
by an alien, or taken over by the ghost of the dead
crewman he found in the original pod. Some say
they can occasionally hear him tapping and that they
pick up his distress signal as he drifts through
space. Is it a life form, subspace noise, or
just the imagination of some comm officers?

Grand Canyon - A gorge of the
Colorado River in northwest Arizona. Sub-Commander T'Pol never
visited the Grand Canyon during her months at the
Vulcan Compound.
"Broken Bow" [ENT]
An uninhabited planet in a system with binary suns
had a gorge on the southern continent five times
deeper than the Grand
Canyon. "The Catwalk" [ENT]
"Granules" - Part of a Xyrillian Game. SEE: Xyrillian Culture, Granules
Grappler - The grappler is a
device that shoots out a projectile attached to a high strength cable
at a
high velocity, much like a harpoon
gun. The Enterprise
docking arm contains two grapplers. When the
two are
used simultaneously they are shot out parallel to
each
other. The projectiles grab onto their target
by means
of a maglock, which is then reeled in and secured in
the
launch bay. The grappler can be used offensively to
capture small ships or to retrieve and bring onboard
any
other space objects too big for the transporter
system to
handle, but of a size less than or equal to a small
shuttle.
"Broken Bow" [ENT]
Gravimetric distortions - When
Mayweather complained of stars shifting positions, T'Pol diagnosed
it as "unusually strong gravimetric distortions" 3
Ly away... it turned out to be a 700-million-km-wide
field of bubbling orange space, which T'Pol called
"a convergence of anomalies." It was a region
that was being reconfigured by the Sphere-builders.
"Harbinger" [ENT]
Gravimetric
field displacement manifold - commonly known as the warp
reactor.
"Cold Front" [ENT]
Gravitational Shear - When
Enterprise discovered a black hole in a trinary system, gravitational
shear
necessitated an approach on impulse; using this
information, the safe minimum distance from the
phenomenon was thought to be 5-million-km.
"Singularity" [ENT]
Graviton
Telescope - a few years ago, Archer helped the Vullcans set
up a graviton telescope to
study a dark matter nebula. The use of EV
suits was involved.

Gravity, Artificial - The
gravity on the Enterprise is set to "earth, sea level".

Plating - The freighter has "gravity plating" thhat can be
adjusted to near-zero, and
apparently to "Earth sea

When an anomaly was discovered in Cargo bay 2, at
first it was thought that it might be a problem with
the "grav
plating".

A MACO Corporal said that during the six week tour
he did on Jupiter Station the grav-plating went
down a few
times.
