Baduviam tapestry.: ("Call to Arms" [DS9]).
Ba'el.: Child of a Klingon woman, Gi'ral, and Romulan officer Tokath. Ba'el was raised at the Romulan prison camp in the Carraya system, and thus had an unusual sense of tolerance toward both cultures. Although the existence of the camp remains a secret from Qo'noS, Ba'el did once meet a Klingon from outside the camp when Worf discovered the camp in 2369. The two became romantically involved, but Ba'el felt she could not leave Carraya because of the racial intolerance she would face in either Klingon or Romulan empires. ("Birthright" [TNG #142&143]). Played by Jennifer Gatti. She later portrayed Libby in "Non Sequitur" [VGR #22].
baffle plate.: Crucial component of the U.S.S. Antares propulsion system. The Antares was destroyed when Charles Evans caused the baffle plate to disappear, but Evans rationalized that the plate had been warped and it was just a matter of time before the ship would have exploded anyway. The starship Defiant blew a baffle plate near Beta Aurigae in 2266, venting it's engineering section to space. ("Charlie X" [TOS #7]; "A Small Matter of Faith" [DC TOS #56]).

Baikal, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Belknap-class strike cruiser, Starfleet registry NCC-2513. The Baikal's keel was laid down for construction on stardate 8200.34 at the Cameron Naval Facility on Deneb V. The ship was launched on stardate 8387.44 and commissioned on stardate 8442.31. In 2290 this vessel's home port was Starbase 18. Baikal was drydocked at Newport News Shipbuilding from 23 Sepember 2288 to 15 July 2289 for a systems overhaul, including additional science and hangar facilities. Arrived at Starbase 18 on 11 August and departed for a shakedown cruise on 15 August. In port at Citadel on Cygnus XIV on 07 September, the Baikal was dispatched to aid the drifting merchant vessel Hyat'an Nuvos. The Hyat'an Nuvos was taken in tow to New Sparta by the starship Binar and the Baikal turned back before reaching the scene. Patrolled Kzin space from 23 September to 12 November. Underwent resupply in preparation for exploratory duty, arrived at Starbase 5 on 6 December for expected deployment with other fleet units on 22 January 2290. (Ships of the Star Fleet).
Baines.: Starfleet commander in charge of Starbase 6. In 2269 Baines betrayed the Federation, allowing Klingon bandits to board the station to take hostages during a captain's conference, and steal the USS Bakker from its berth. Baines and his Klingon compatriots died when the Bakker was destroyed by a Klingon battle group. ("Action of the Tiger" [Marvel UNL #2]).
Bajor.: Planet, home to the Bajoran civilization. Located near the Cardassian border, Bajor was annexed by the Cardassia in 2327 and occupied until their 2369 withdrawal. The Cardassians nearly destroyed Bajor's ecosystem, strip mining almost every valuable mineral on the world. The Cardassians built a space station, Terok Nor, in orbit of Bajor in 2351. In 2369 that station was given over to Federation control and rechristened Deep Space Nine. The station was then moved to the Denorios Belt, near the Bajoran wormhole. In 2369, the Federation gave Bajor a CFI replicator for it's relief effort. Bajor petioned to join the Federation in 2373, but subsequently withdrew it's request based on a vision of Benjamin Sisko, their emissary to the Prophets. Later that year, Bajor signed a non-aggression pact with the Dominion, and gave Deep Space Nine over to them after a Federation withdrawal. A major military movement, designated "Operation: Return" was enacted and Starfleet allied force retook the station. Bajor has at least five moons, the fifth being class-M, called Jeraddo. In 2369, Jeraddo was made uninhabitable by a process which supplied power to Bajor by tapping it's molten core, releasing toxic gases. ("Ensign Ro" [TNG #103]; ""Emissary" [DS9 #1&2]; et al.; "Progress" [DS9 #15] "For the Cause" [DS9 #94]; "Rapture" [DS9 #108]; "Call to Arms" [DS9 #124]; "Sacrifice of Angels" [DS9 #130]). In "Emissary," Bajoran monks were played by Stephen Rowe and Donald Hotton. The Bajoran bureaucrat was played by Gene Armor.

Bajor VIII.: Eighth planet in the Bajoran star system, containing six colonies. In 2369 Tahna Los received a cylinder of bilitrium explosive here from the Duras sisters, and threatened to detonate it and kill all the colonists if Kira didn't take their ship to warp. ("Past Prologue" [DS9 #4]).
Bajor IX.: Ninth planet in the Bajor system, the largest gas-giant. (Technical Manual [DS9]).
Bajor B'hava'el.: Central star in the Bajoran system. The system has thirteen planets, including eight terrestrial worlds, three gas giants and three ice-rock conglomerates. The star was nearly destroyed in 2373 by a bomb flown into it by a Changeling impersonating Julian Bashir. ("By Inferno's Light" [DS9]; Technical Manual [DS9]).

Bajoran Provisional Government.: Governing authority of the Bajoran star system. ("Emissary" [DS9 #1&2]; et al.).
Bajoran raider.: Two person impulse-speed fighter used by the Bajoran militia. These vessels were used by Bajoran resistance cells during the Cardassian occupation of that world, some only equipped with sub-impulse capacity engines. A vessel of this type found at the abandoned Lunar-V base was used by Kira and Dax to land on Bajor, despite being attacked by two other vessels of this type, when the extremist "Circle" took over Bajor in 2370. ("The Siege" [DS9 #22]).
Bajoran root tea.: Brewed beverage known for its calming sedative effects. ("The Soldiers of Fear" [Pocket TNG #41]).
Bajoran shrimp.: ("You Are Cordially Invited" [DS9]
Bajoran solar sail.: Ancient Bajoran starship. These vessels had no traditional engine reactions but instead relied on sails that caught B'hava'el's solar wind. Vessels of this type even succeeded in becoming trapped in a tachyon conduit and making a journey to Cardassia centuries before either of those cultures developed warp drive.
Bajoran Time of Cleansing.: ("Bar Association" [DS9]).
Bajoran Trade Commission.: Agency of the Bajoran Provisional Government. The BTC wrote a four-page complaint about increased shoplifting on Starbase Deep Space 9's Promenade during a gambling turnament at Quark's Bar. ("Time's Enemy" [Pocket DS9 #16]).
Bajoran wormhole.: Artificially generated stable passageway to the Gamma Quadrant located in the Denorios Belt of the Bajoran star system. The wormhole is formed by verteron particles that allow a vessel to pass through on impulse power. Bajoran religious faith interprets the safe passage as evidence of guidance by the Prophets, and some conservatives object strongly to the teaching of scientific concepts relating to the wormhole. In the Bajoran religion, the wormhole contains the Celestial Temple, home of the Prophets who sent the Orbs to the Bajorans. In 2369, Benjamin Sisko and Jadzia Dax discovered this wormhole, and came into contact with the aliens occupying it. Deep Space Nine was moved to the mouth of the wormhole soon afterwards. Passing through the wormhole sends one 90,000 light-years to the Gamma Quadrant, near the star Idran. When the wormhole opens, sensors read elevated neutrino readings. In 2373 the wormhole was permanently opened when a Dominion saboteur tried to prevent it from being closed by the Fedeation. After that, the Dominion allied itself with Cardassia and started sending large numbers of ships through to the Alpha Quadrant. Later that year, as tensions between the Federation and the Dominion came to a head, Starfleet laid a mine field near the wormhole opening to prevent Dominion reinforcements. SEE: Hawking, Stephen; quantum fluctuation; wormhole. ("Emissary" [DS9 #1&2]; "Captive Pursuit" [DS9 #6]; "Dramatis Personæ" [DS9 #18]; "In the Hands of the Prophets" [DS9 #20]; "In Purgatory's Shadow" [DS9]; "By Inferno's Light" [DS9]; "Call to Arms" [DS9 #124]).
Bajorans.: Humanoid species native to Bajor, distinguished by a series of ridges on the bridge of the nose. Bajoran culture flourished 25,000 years ago when humans on Earth were not yet standing erect. The Bajoran people are deeply spiritual, but their history also records many great architects, philosophers, builders, and artists, such as the poet Akorem Laan who wrote "Kitara's Song," "The Call of the Prophets" and "Gaudaal's Lament." Bajoran culture declined seriously during decades of Cardassian occupation from 2339 to 2369, a period when many Bajorans were driven from their homeworld. The Cardassians first made benign offers of assistance beginning in 2309, leading up to an occupation beginning in 2328. The Cardassians formally annexed Bajor as their territory in 2339 and remained on the planet until 2369, when they were finally driven off by Bajoran resistance fighters. Upon the departure of the Cardassians, the Bajoran Provisional Government requested Federation assistance in operating the abandoned Cardassian mining station Terok Nor, now officially designated as Starbase Deep Space Nine. Under Bajoran custom, a person's family name is first, followed by their given name. Most Bajorans wear an ornamental earring in their right ear. A deeply religious people, the Bajorans look to their spiritual leader, the Kai, for leadership and guidance. Many give their belief in the Prophets credit for giving the Bajorans the strength to survive the Cardassian oppression. The Bajoran religion believes that ships are safely guided through the Bajoran wormhole by the Prophets and that the Celestial Temple dwells within the passage. Some conservative Bajoran religious leaders, notably Winn, try to suppress scientific theories of the wormhole's creation, believing that it lessens the religious leader's power. An old Bajoran saying states that "The land and the people are one," their love for their home planet. SEE: Kira Nerys, Ro Laren, Opaka, Bariel Antos, Winn Adami, Jaro Essa, Shakaar Edon, Mullibok, Li Nalas, Tahna Los, Kohn Ma, Higa Mentar, Jaz Holza, Keeve Falor, Orta. ("Ensign Ro" [TNG #103]; "Emissary" [DS9 #1&2]; et al.; "The Storyteller" [DS9 #14]; "In the Hands of the Prophets" [DS9 #20]; "Accession" [DS9 #89]).
Baker-class: Type of Federation starship built in the mid 23rd century, a destroyer by classification. The Baker destroyer has a unique development history. The Baker-class crews 265 officers and men, although later versions have additional impulse and torpedo crews which bring the crew total to 273. The ship is 301 meters long and masses 121,300 tonnes in its original configuration. When the original contracts were let out, they called for a research vessel with limited combat capabilities. The designs for the ship were accepted by Starfleet and the actual construction of the research cruiser began. As the main hull neared completion, Star Fleet decided that a destroyer was needed to supplement the Larson-class. At this same time, the Admiralty was of the opinion that fewer research cruisers would be needed on the frontiers. The Baker was then dropped as a research cruiser and re-designated a destroyer. In order to accomplish its mission as a destroyer, the Baker's design underwent several changes. The laboratory facilities were removed and crew quarters and recreation areas were expanded. The Baker-class vessels are well known for these spacious quarters and crew comforts. Another change came in the weaponry. The original design had only four phasers, tthe finished design was fitted with six phaser emitters and two torpedo launcher arrays. The Baker destroyer was brought into service with the commissioning of the U.S.S. Baker, U.S.S. Stafford, and U.S.S. Peterson. As was intended, these vessels are being used to replace the aging Larson destroyers in more hostile areas, the latter being used more and more along trailing and rimward frontiers. The Baker has a compartmented dual-wall internal structure to give additional protection from explosive decompression during battle. Earlier designs with single-wall protection often ruptured when one compartment decompressed, victims of a domino effect that would eventually render the entire vessel incapable of sustaining itself. Although compartmentalization is not new in ship design, double walls separated by a pressurized dead space was. Such a dead space counteracts the forces on the outer wall surfaces by means of sensors that detect any changes in pressure and trigger units that regulate the pressure inside the dead space. This system has become a standard feature on all Federation warships. The Baker destroyer is the first vessel in Star Fleet to be designed with the newer style nacelle; previous uses were all refits. The FWE-2 warp drive system was installed to give a cruising speed of Warp 7 and temporary speeds of Warp 8, as well as great maneuverability, making it more efficient in battle, than many of its counterparts. The weapons arrangement of the Baker-class is unusual by Star Fleet standards. Two of the phaser banks are capable of firing in all quadrants except directly to the rear, unlike most other Federation vessels on which they are usually positioned to fire in only two quadrants. The Baker-class remained unchanged until an experimental model, the U.S.S. Knutson, completed its testing of an impulse drive system that would increase the total power output of the vessel by 25%, and was quickly refit with upgraded FP-1 photon torpedoes.

One of baseball's last great heroes was a player for the London Kings named Buck Bokai, who broke Joe DiMaggio's record for consecutive hits in 2026. The end of baseball came when only 300 spectators came to the last World Series, which was won by the Kings. Deep Space 9 commander Benjamin Sisko is a baseball fan, and enjoys watching replays of old games and playing with holodeck recreations of famous players. Baseball still survives through amateur leagues played throughout the Federation, including Starfleet Academy and Cestus III. In 2282, the Starfleet Academy cadet team gained a chance to finally defeat the midshipmen, with a pitcher known as the "Photon Torpedo," a Vulcan cadet named Saavik. SEE: Maris, Roger; Newson, Eddie. ("Emissary" [DS9 #1&2]; "The Pandora Principle" [Pocket TOS #49]).The holodeck baseball player in "Emissary" was played by Kevin McDermott.
baseball card.: Small rectangular piece of cardboard containing images of players from the human sport baseball. Baseball cards were produced in limited editions from the 19th to 21st centuries on Earth, and as such were highly collectible due to their rarity. Those cards that have survived until the present are extremely rare and valuable. The only known remaining 1962 Roger Maris card was held by the Zibalian trader Kivas Fajo. A Willie Mays baseball card was found on a derelict freighter near Bajor, and auctioned by Quark to Elias Geiger, who in turn sold it to Jake Sisko as a gift to his father. A 2026 Buck Bokai baseball card was owned by Benjamin Sisko, and kept on his desk on DS9. ("The Most Toys" [TNG]; "If Wishes Were Horses" [DS9]; "In the Cards" [DS9 #123]).
