Natural selection - A natural
process that results in the survival and reproductive success of only
the
individuals or groups best adjusted to their
environment, while those less adapted tend to be eliminated.
The genetic qualities of those best suited to their
environment are passed on to succeeding generations.
The Suliban don't share humanity's patience with the
slow pace of natural selection.

eighth in the Sol system. Neptune is orbited by eight moons and a
narrow ring system. Enterprise can traverse
the distance from Earth to Neptune and back in six minutes.

Neural implants - When
Mayweather comes into sickbay complaining of a headache, Phlox thinks
it
might be related to the neural implants put into him
by the repair station.
"Dead Stop" [ENT], "Singularity" [ENT]
Neural Shock kit - Part of the
medical supplies needed by the deuterium facility. Dr. Phlox
remarked
that he had no idea that deuterium processing was so
dangerous.
"Marauders" [ENT]
Neural Whip - A distinctive Ferengi weapon. SEE: Ferengi Neural Whip
Neuroelectric impulses - A Vulcan
mind-meld disrupts neuroelectric impulses in the midbrain, which
leads to the early stages of the disease known as Pa'nar
syndrome.
"Stigma" [ENT]
Neuroleptic compound - Dr. Phlox
synthesized a neuroleptic compound designed to keep the crew
conscious inside the transformed space of the
Sphere-builders. It was only supposed to last 12
minutes but Phlox exhanced the compound as much as
he could but still it wasn't recommended that
they stay in the space longer than 15 minutes.
It was released into the air supply of the ship.
"Zero Hour" [ENT]
Neurolytic enzyme - Phlox tells
T'Pol that her "neurolytic enzymes" are higher than last month, and
that the treatment he devised to handle her Pa'nar
syndrome is no longer effective: she could very
possibly
die.
"Stigma" [ENT]
Neutrino emissions - The Ent
handheld sensor units (not called tricorders) can detect neutrino
emissions.
The emissions emanate from 8-m below an antiques
shop. We can only guess at the mechanism whereby
it might do this since neutrinos are known to
pass through miles of matter without any interactions. It
has been suggested that force fields could stop
neutrinos with higher efficiency than mere matter. A pity
the Enterprise has no shields or tractors, which
implies a lack of force field technology. The neutrino
emissions are taken as evidence that there could be
an antimatter
reactor present. I'm unaware of any
direct matter-antimatter reaction that produces
neutrinos... Particle-antiparticle annihilation produce
gamma rays, but various indirect nuclear
reactions that might go on as a result of the main annihilation
which could contain particles like pi-mesons...
These pi-ons would in turn decay to muons, which would
then decay producing neutrinos. "Civilization"
[ENT]
Dreadnought is able to deflect its image to another
location with a sensor echo, Torres tells Kim to look
for a surge in neutrino emissions within 100,000
kilometers to find its true location. Perhaps there was
an antimatter reactor aboard?
"Dreadnought" [VOY]
Neutron microscope - An
invention of Feezal Phlox which she and Trip installed in sickbay
during their
stopover at the Medical Exchange conference at
Dekendi III in late 2152. Its "reflectometer" "collimates
the neutrons", instead of "amplifying" them.
The operator must screw the "condenser lens" onto the
"aperture ring" before "remodulating the emitter
frequency". The specimens are on glass slides. The
screen enlarges the "protein molecules" to show "a
single nucleotide". (Proteins don't contain nucleotides -
bad writing strikes again). Tucker
tries to perform a scan in turn, but forgets about the "quantum
filters"
and "aperture", and gets a fuzzy image of the
"imaging filament".
The real world already has devices that can
image biomolecules to atomic precision: they're collectively
called "proximal probe microscopes" (atomic
force, scanning probe, etc.) Feezal's "neutron microscope",
however, seems to require no special preparation
of the sample; it might even observe living biochemistry.
Electron microscopes take advantage of the fact
that the deBroglie wavelength of the electron-as-wave is
shorter than that of optical photons; neutrons,
being 1800 times as massive, would be even more precise --
if, being electrically neutral, they could be
focused.
"Stigma" [ENT]
Neutron star - Stellar body that
has been gravitationally contracted to the point where its density is
that of nuclear material. A very unusual
triplet of neutron stars was detected by Enterprise.
"Civilization" [ENT]
Neutronic Storm
- On Sept. 18, 2152, the Enterprise facced its first neutronic storm
front. It spanned
more than half a dozen light years and was traveling
at high warp (they would have needed about
warp 7 to outrun it). Reinforcing structural
intensity was enough to allow the NX-01 to weather the
storm without too much trouble, but the storm was
saturated with radiolytic isotopes that could kill
the crew within 3 minutes. The crew took
refuge in the catwalks of one of the Nacelles, which are
sheilded by an osmium alloy. The alloy's
absorption depth of 20,000 particles per micron was enough
to shield the crew. The T'Plana, a Vulcan
ship, was caught in a class 5 neutronic storm over a century
ago. All souls aboard were lost. The E.S.C.
Horizon (Travis' Father's Cargo Freighter) was in a class 3
neutronic wave front and were held up in the
ships core for 6 weeks. They managed to suffer through
it, even when they lost gravity plating and life
support.
"The Catwalk" [ENT]
Voyager encountered a class 9 wavefront.
The Borg classify it as: 34792 particle density anomaly.
This particular storm had a breadth of 3.6 light
years, and the neutronic gradient increased at its trailing-
edge. It disrupted plasma flow, and inhibited
warp. Its velocity was 200,000 kps.
"Fair Haven" [VOY]

Nitrogen sulfide - A radical
compound, composed of one nitrogen and one sulfur atom.
Enterprise explored an allegedly inhabited planet a
few lightyears from Qo'noS with a nitrogen-sulfide
atmosphere in 2151. Hoshi implied that because
of the atmosphere the inhabitants would be
non-humanoid.
"Broken Bow" [ENT]
NOMAD - In 2002, Earth
launched Nomad, the first interstellar probe charged with seeking out
new
life forms. Nomad was built by the brilliant
but erratic Jackson Roykirk, who's goal was to build the
perfect thinking machine capable of independent
logic. Nomad is later presumed destroyed in a
meteor collision. Actually it collided with
the alien probe Tan Ru. The damaged Nomad/Tan Ru
combination became a deadly weapon seeking to
destroy any imperfect life.
"The Changeling" [TOS]
A model of the NOMAD probe was seen in Mayweather's
quarters.

deuterium station where Archer met a chemist named B'Rat Ud who offered
to sell the formula for synthesizing Trellium-D to
Enterprise.

North Star - The name of a
freighter which suffered an unspecified disaster that is apparently
well
known among boomers. Matthew Ryan of the
Fortunate was one of the survivors. His parents were
lost
however.
"Fortunate Son" [ENT]
Novakovich,
Crewman Ethan (Henri Lubatti) - Human male.
(brun, blue, 2 pips) Friend of
crewman
Cutler . He was the first of the landing party to succumb to
the
psychotropic effects of the native flora on
Strange New World, probably due to the fact that he
picked a pair of yellow flowers and inhaled
deeply early into the mission to explore the
planet. After a storm forced them to seek shelter in a
cave, he began to shiver, then hear voices. He
became paranoid and ran out into the storm. Reed
beamed up Novakovich from the midst of the
windstorm, but because of contaminants in the
matter-stream Novakovich materialized with leaves
and other material embedded in his skin. He
nearly died in sickbay when it was realized that
there was a previously undetected toxin from the
planet in his system. But luckily he did
recover.
"Strange New World" [ENT]
Novans - SEE: Novans .
Nutripacks
(Also spelled "Nutri-pak") - A food source that freighter crews often
revert to when
fresh food is not available. Both Fortunate
and Horizon
kids refer to them as "Mystery Meals".
Apparently, families can use them in very creative
cooking.
"Fortunate Son" [ENT]
Nuvian -
There are over 200
registered Nuvian masseuses on Risa.
"Fallen Hero" [ENT]
A merchant offered to sell a Nuvian concubine to
Archer claiming that she was quite skilled. Archer
declined the
offer.
"Raijin" [ENT]
NX-Alpha - The NX-Alpha
resembles Cochrane's _Phoenix_: the same conical command pod,
cylindrical fuselage, cylindrical nacelles on narrow
tapered pylons set in a horizontal plane like wings.
The nacelles extend past the end of the fuselage,
and seem to have white-glowing aft engine exhausts
(there's no glow on the fuselage). They have
conical red bussard collector-like things. The pylons
fold at three points, Navy-style, so that the ship
fits into its hanger. This implies a mastery of
magnetic (and presumably vacuum) seals for the
(segmented) warp plasma conduits. The NX-Alpha's
engine (designed by Archer's late father) suffers
from "intermix" problems, so presumably uses
antimatter. When the ride gets rough past warp
2, there seems to be a bow shock at the ship's nose;
but on close inspection, there's a translucent
ellipsoidal envelope around the ship, rippling at the edges.
When the ship breaks up, there's a brief orange
fireball (fuel? antimatter?); it breaks into four large pieces
(nose, fuselage, nacelles/pylons) and smaller
debris. Aboard the NX-Alpha and -Beta, Robinson and
Archer wear 20th century-like orange pressure suits
and helmets. The ship rides a carriage (supported
by a blue antigrav(?) glow) out of the hangar,
directly onto a catapult track, which turns upward at the
end.
"First Flight" [ENT]
NX-Beta - Another warp 2 test
craft virtually identical to the NX-Alpha.
"First Flight" [ENT]
NX-Delta - One year and eight
months after the destruction of the NX-Alpha, Duval
attained warp 3 in
this
ship.
"First Flight" [ENT]
NX class - Enterprise is an
"NX-class starship"; Travis claims that three more "NX-class"
ships like
Enterprise are "on the drawing boards".
"Fortunate Son" [ENT]
NX-02 - The NX-02
will be ready for launch in 14 months (ca: early to mid 2154). It
will be exactly
the same as the NX-01 once her retrofit is
completed.
"The Expanse" [ENT]
It is to be named
Columbia.
