Dopterians are distant relatives of the Ferengi, theory holds that Ferengi proto-humanoids were transplanted to the Dopterian homeworld. Dopterians have no telepathic abilities and cannot be scanned because of their four lobed brains, a similarity to their Ferengi cousins.

Working with Ahdar Ru'afo, a Son'a official, Dougherty had hoped to harness an unusual metaphasic radiation particle field around the planet, so that the rejuvenating properties of the planet could be made available to all senior Starfleet and Federation officials. Dougherty planned to divert Federation attention from the planet so that he could use a holoship to remove the world's 600 inhabitants. Dougherty died on a Son'a ship after officers from the Enterprise-E were successful in stopping his plan. ("Insurrection" [Movie #9]). Played by Anthony Zerbe.

doughnut.: ("Far Beyond the Stars" [DS9]).
Douglas, Sarina.: Individual who, as a child, had been genetically altered through illegal accelerated critical neural pathway formation. Although the procedure was successful in enhancing Sarina's abilities, it made her emotionally withdrawn, almost to the point of catatonia, and she was institutionalized for most of her childhood and early adult life. Under the care of Starfleet psychiatrist Dr. Karen Loews, Sarina and three other genetically enhanced individuals traveled to Deep Space 9 in 2374 to meet Julian Bashir. Bashir determined that her cataleptic condition was caused by a failure of her visual and auditory synapses to operate fast enough for her enhanced cerebral cortex. A risky experimental surgical procedure, conducted by Bashir, was successful in stimulating the growth of new synapses in her thalamus, restoring her ability to interact with other people. Douglas was released from the care of the institute, and she subsequently accepted a scientific internship at the Corgal Research Center. ("Statistical Probabilities" [DS9]; "Chrysalis" [DS9]). Played by Faith C. Salie. Sarina was first seen in "Statistical Probabilities" and got her last name in "Chrysalis."

Commander Riker had been offered captaincy of the Drake before he insted took a posting aboard the Enterprise-D as first officer. ("The Arsenal of Freedom" [TNG #21]). The Drake's class and registry were devised by Michael Okuda for the Star Trek Encyclopedia, and may be derived from on or off-screen graphics and signage.
Drake, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Andromeda-class, Starfleet registry NCC-70956. The Drake was ambushed by Klingon forces and docked at DS9 for repairs and medical triage. ("Apocalypse Rising" [DS9]). The Drake's class and registry were devised by Michael Okuda for the Star Trek Encyclopedia, presumably derived from on or offscreen graphics and signage. The Encyclopedia mistakenly lists the Drake mentioned in Deep Space Nine as the same vessel as Captain Rice's Drake, even though that vessel was revealed to be destroyed in "The Arsenal of Freedom" [TNG #21].
Draken IV.: Planet located in the Taugan sector. It was the location of the nearest Starfleet base to the Kaleb sector. Subcommander N'Vek attempted to take the Romulan warbird Khazara there in 2369 as part of a plan for the defection of Romulan Vice-Proconsul M'ret to the Federation. The planet possessed ruins of Romulan origin which made it a potential target of the band of archaeological raiders led by Arctus Baran. ("Face of the Enemy" [TNG]; "Gambit" [TNG]).

Drayans are born in an adult state and proceed to grow smaller and more innocent as they get older. Very old Drayans appear as small children. About three generations previously, the culture on Drayan II underwent a reformation in which they shifted their focus away from technology. During this time they also adopted an isolationist attitude toward outside cultures. In 2372, Alcia was the First Prelate of the Drayan nation. ("Innocence [VOY]).
Draygo IV: Class-M world in Federation space. Draygo IV was studied as a potential new home for the Boraalans in 2370. While it had an unusually large temperate zone, the planet was discarded from consideration because it was within three light years of Cardassian space. ("Homeward" [TNG]).
Draylon II.: Class-M planet in the Alpha Quadrant. Site where the Skrreea settled in 2370. ("Sanctuary" [DS9]).

Dream Species.: Telepathic humanoid civilization in the Delta Quadrant. These people lived in a cave and their consciousness existed only in a dream state. For centuries, the dream species had suffered attacks from a variety of outsiders they referred to as the waking species. In order to protect themselves, the dream species took refuge in underground caverns. They established an artificial neurogenic field surrounding their planet, causing intruders from any waking species to fall asleep. Once in the realm of sleep, the dream species could deal with such intruders on their own terms. In 2374 Voyager accidentally entered the dream species' neurogenic field causing the crew to enter a state of hyper-REM sleep. The dream species held Voyager captive in their reality until Chakotay was able to enter a lucid dreaming state, confronting the humanoids and convincing them to dismantle the transmitter. ("Waking Moments" [VGR]).
Dream Team.: Group of five Starfleet Academy cadets that were in the class of 2357. The team was comprised of Worf, Mark McHenry, Soleta, Zak Kebron and Tania Tobias. The five cadets were often called the "dream team" because their various talents, specialties and temperaments complemented one another and they were quite effective at the various missions they were sent on together. ("Worf's First Adventure" [Pocket SA #1]; [Pocket SA #2]).
Drema IV: Fourth planet in the Selcundi Drema system, home to a humanoid civilization. Drema IV possessed the largest deposits of dilithium ore ever recorded. This ore is laid down in unusually aligned lattices that converted the planet's geologic heat into mechanical stress, thus resulting in significant tectonic instabilities that nearly destroyed the planet. While possessing some advanced technology, this planet was still under Prime Directive protection in 2365, and thus the discovery that Enterprise-D officer Data had been in radio contact with an inhabitant of the planet presented a significant problem. While the Prime Directive prohibited contact with the inhabitants, humanitarian considerations demanded a means of assistance that avoided cultural contamination. Such a means was found, and the geological instabilities were neutralized by the use of resonator probes launched from orbit without the knowledge of the planet's inhabitants. ("Pen Pals" [TNG].
Dreon VII.: Planet; site of a Bajoran colony. The freighter Xhosa, piloted by Kasidy Yates, made cargo runs between Bajor and the colony on Dreon VII. ("For the Cause" [DS9]).

Drovna, I.K.S.: Klingon battleship. In 2372 the crew of the Drovna illegally mined the Bajoran system with cloaked explosives. An accidental detonation of one of the mines caused severe damage to the Drovna. The starship Defiant subsequently towed the damaged vessel to Deep Space 9 to provide medical aid to the ship's crew. While the Drovna was docked at the station, Worf and Kurn covertly obtained the detonation codes and locations of the cloaked Klingon mines. ("Sons of Mogh" [DS9 #87]).
Droxine.: Stratos city dweller and daughter to city official Plasus. Protected by her father from the harsh realities of her society, Droxine was unaware of the bitter life led by the Troglytes who toiled on the planet's surface to support her life in the clouds.

Nickname given to a holographic image generator used to disguise the anthropological field research station on Mintaka III. The hologenerator created the image of a rocky hillside, thus concealing the station. A Federation sociology team sent to observe the Ba'ku on their planet in 2375 set up a cloaked duck blind in a rock face overlooking the Ba'ku village. ("Who Watches the Watchers" [TNG]; "Insurrection" [Movie #9]).
Duffy, Kieran: Chief engineer of the starship da Vinci. Duffy was formerly a deagnostic engineer aboard the Enterprise-D. In 2366, Duffy accidentally helped spread a dangerous invidium contamination through that ship. ("Hollow Pursuits" [TNG]; "Have Tech, Will Travel" [Pocket SCE #1]). Played by Charley Lang.
Dujonian.: ("Dujonian's Hoard" [Pocket Captain's Table #2]).
Dukat, Skrain G.: Cardassian legate, security identification ADL-40, the former head-of-state of the wartime Cardassian Union. Dukat was senior military advisor to Cardassia's first non-military democratic government, the Detapa Council formed in 2372 after the fall of the Central Command. He used his position to rise to power in a coup promoted by the Founders, who were attempting to include Cardassia in their plans to invade the Alpha Quadrant. Prior to his leadership of Cardassia, Dukat was the gul who was commander of the Second Order. Prior to that fleet assignment he was prefect of Bajor until the Cardassian withdrawal of 2369. While prefect, Dukat kept his base of operations on the Cardassian mining station Terok Nor, which would one day become known as Deep Space Nine. Early in his military career, shortly after his promotion to glinn, Dukat had served aboard the Cardassian vessel Kornaire.; Since Dukat was commander of Terok Nor during the occupation, the Bajoran resistance made several attempts to assassinate him. Dukat was strongly opposed to the Cardassian withdrawal from Bajor in 2369, a move supported by Pa'Dar. In 2370, Dukat attempted to disgrace Pa'Dar by revealing that Pa'Dar's son, Rugal, who was believed killed in a terrorist attack, was in fact alive. Dukat had previously arranged for Rugal to be placed in the Tozhat Resettlement Center in 2362, a disgrace in Cardassian society. Dukat's ploy failed when his role in the affair was revealed. Although Dukat was physically removed from the station, he still kept close tabs on his former command. In 2369, Dukat filed a complaint with Sisko when Cardassian citizen Aamin Marritza was being detained at the station, accused of being Gul Darhe'el, also known as The Butcher of Gallitep. Dukat fell under suspicion of violating the Federation-Cardassian treaty in 2370 when he was implicated as being responsible of supplying illegal weapons to Cardassian colonists in the Demilitarized Zone. In fact, Dukat was innocent, but Legate Parn had blamed Dukat to try to divert suspicion from the Cardassian Central Command. Nevertheless Maquis terrorists believed Dukat guilty and abducted him, until he was rescued by Ben Sisko. In 2372, after a civilian uprising successfully overthrew the Cardassian Central Command, Dukat acted to defend the Detapa Council from Klingon invaders, and was instrumental in proving that council members had not been replaced by shape-shifting agents of the Dominion. Dukat was subsequently made chief military advisor to the Detapa Council.; Dukat's father had been arrested and executed under the Cardassian system of justice. Dukat blamed Elim Garak for his father's execution. Dukat had been married, with seven children, including Mekor, who was born in 2360. While serving as prefect of Bajor in 2346, Dukat enjoyed the companionship of a Bajoran comfort woman named Kira Meru. Meru, who was the mother of Kira Nerys, stayed with Dukat for about seven years until her death in 2353. During the occupation of Bajor, Dukat fell in love with a Bajoran woman named Tora Naprem, and in 2353 the two had a daughter, Tora Ziyal. Since public revelation of this illicit affair would have ended his career, Dukat sent Tora Naprem and their daughter away in 2366, to Lissepia, aboard the Ravinok. The Ravinok was attacked by two Breen warships and forced to crash land on Dozaria. Tora Naprem died in the crash, but her daughter survived. In 2372, Kira Nerys and Gul Dukat went on an expedition to search for the Ravinok, eventually rescuing several survivors from a Breen forced labor dilithium mine on Dozaria. Dukat rescued Tora Ziyal and brought her home with him to Cardassia to live with his family. Although a noble gesture by Earth standards, Dukat's admission drew swift reaction. His mother disowned him and his wife left him, taking their children with her. Gul Dukat was demoted and given command of the military freighter Groumall. His daughter found herself ostracized from Cardassian society, and she went to live with her father on the Groumall.; Dukat nevertheless determined to regain his status in Cardassian society. Enlisting the aid of former adversary, Kira Nerys, Dukat used the Groumall to capture a Klingon bird-of-prey spacecraft. In 2373, Dukat conducted secret negotiations with the Dominion, leading to an alliance between the Cardassian Union and the Dominion. The move dramatically shifted the balance of power in the Alpha Quadrant, and resulted in Dukat becoming the head of the Cardassian government, pledging to return Cardassia to its former greatness. Dukat returned to Deep Space 9, redesignated as Terok Nor, in late 2373 when the Dominion took control of the station during the early days of the Dominion war. Dukat was pleased when his daughter, Tora Ziyal, returned to the station to live with him, but he soon became fearful that she was rejecting her Cardassian heritage in favor of Bajoran influence. Those fears were powerfully confirmed when Ziyal joined the Bajoran underground and was instrumental in the subsequent Dominion loss of the station to the Federation Starfleet. Nevertheless, Dukat loved his daughter and was devastated when she was killed by Gul Damar. Dukat, who was taken into Starfleet custody with the retaking of Deep Space 9, fell into deep depression after his daughter's death. He experienced severe hallucinations when he and Sisko were stranded together following the destruction of their Starfleet transport. It was during this period that Sisko learned that Dukat felt no remorse for the five million Bajoran people who were killed while he was prefect of Bajor. Dukat admitted that he believed Bajorans to be an inferior race and said he felt it was a mistake not to have killed all Bajorans. Dukat attempted to regain his influence in the Cardassian military by employing an energy being known as a Pah-wraith, an enemy of the Bajoran Prophets. The Pah-wraith, working through Dukat's body, darkened the Bajoran Orbs and collapsed the wormhole. In the process, Dukat and the Pah-wraith also caused the death of Jadzia Dax. In 2375, Dukat became a follower of the evil Pah-wraith known as Kosst Amojan.He disguised himself as a Bajoran national, calling himself Anjohl Tennan.He led Kai Winn to believe that he had been sent to her by the Prophets.Dukat manipulated Winn, feeding her resentment against Benjamin Sisko to weaken her faith in the Bajoran Prophets, eventually leading her to worship the Pah-wraiths.Dukat and Winn nearly succeeded in freeing the Pah-wraiths from the fire cave on Bajor. Neither Dukat nor the Pah-wraiths counted on the determination of the Emissary, who returned to Bajor to confront Kosst Amojan and returned all of the Pah-wraiths to the fire caves. Dukat became trapped with the Pah-wraiths and was believed destroyed.("Emissary" [DS9 #1&2]; "Duet" [DS9]; "Cardassians" [DS9]; "The Maquis" [DS9]; "The Wire" [DS9]; "Civil Defense" [DS9]; "Improbable Cause" [DS9]; "The Die is Cast" [DS9]; "Defiant" [DS9]; "Indiscretion" [DS9]; "Return to Grace" [DS9]; "The Way of the Warrior" [DS9]; "Things Past" [DS9]; "By Inferno's Light" [DS9]; "Call to Arms" [DS9]; "Sons and Daughters [DS9]; "Sacrifice of Angels" [DS9]; "Waltz" [DS9]; "Tears of the Prophets" [DS9]; "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night" [DS9]; "A Time to Stand" [DS9]; "Til Death Do Us Part" [DS9]; "Strange Bedfellows" [DS9]; "What You Leave Behind" [DS9]).

The Cardassian Central command disavowed his actions. ("Victims of Deceit" [Malibu DS9 Maquis #3]).
Dulisian IV.: Planet, site of a Federation colony that transmitted a Priority-1 distress call to the Enterprise-D while it was in orbit around Galorndon Core in 2368. The colony reported massive failure of its environmental support systems. The distress call was later found to be a ruse sent in the hopes of dissuading the crew of the Enterprise-D from interfering with the Romulan invasion of Vulcan. ("Unification" [TNG]).
Dulmur.: Investigative agent for the Federation Department of Temporal Investigations. In 2373, agents Dulmer and Lucsly traveled to Deep Space 9 to investigate the U.S.S. Defiant's accidental trip back in time 105 years to stardate 4523. ("Trials and Tribbleations" [DS9]). Played by Jack Blessing. Dulmer and Lucsly were anagrams for 'Mulder' and 'Scully', a tip of the hat to Fox's popular fantasy show, The X-Files.
Dumah.: Representative of the B'omar Sovereignty. In 2374, Dumah and Gauman came aboard Voyager to negotiate a shortcut through their space. ("The Raven" [VGR]). Played by Mickey Cottrell, who also played Chancellor Alrik in "The Perfect Mate" [TNG].

duotronics.: Revolutionary computer technology invented by Dr. Richard Daystrom in 2243. Duotronics became the basis of the computers used aboard all Federation starships for over 80 years, including the main computers aboard the Enterprise. The Enterprise also used duotronic elements in its sensor arrays. Duotronic enhancers were finally replaced by isolinear optical chips in 2329. ("The Ultimate Computer" [TOS]; "Trials and Tribble-ations" [DS9]; "Relics" [TNG]).

Duras.: Member of a politically powerful Klingon family and member of the Klingon High Council. In 2366, Duras sought to conceal evidence that his father, Ja'rod, had committed treason during the Khitomer massacre in 2346. Duras fabricated evidence implicating Mogh, father of Worf, as the guilty party. Duras was initially successful in forcing the council to rule against Mogh's family, although council leader K'mpec was aware of Duras's treachery. Following the murder of council leader K'mpec in 2367, Duras sought to win K'mpec's position. Duras was one of two contenders for the leadership, and he used a bomb in an attempt to ensure his selection by eliminating Gowron, his competitor. It was also suspected that Gowron was responsible for K'mpec's death by poison. During the rite of succession, Duras also killed K'Ehleyr, Worf's mate, when she was on the verge of discovering the truth about Duras's cover-up of his father's crimes. Duras was subsequently killed by Worf, who sought the right of vengeance under Klingon law. Following Duras's death, his family continued to play a significant role in Klingon politics. ("Sins of the Father" [TNG]; "Reunion" [TNG]). Played by Patrick Massett.
Duras.: Formerly powerful Klingon House, named after late council member Duras. After his death, control of the family was ceded to Lursa and B'Etor, his sisters. The Duras had many political followers, but lost most of their support and honor when it was revealed that several generations of this family achieved their status through treachery and with Romulan assistance. ("Sins of the Father" [TNG]; "Reunion" [TNG]; "Redemption" [TNG]; "Past Prologue" [DS9]; "Generations" [Movie #7]).
Durenia IV.: Planet, destination of the Enterprise-D in early 2367 when a warp field experiment by Ensign Crusher went awry, trapping Dr. Beverly Crusher in a static warp bubble. The Enterprise-D was forced to abandon its mission and return to Starbase 133. ("Remember Me" [TNG]).
Durg.: Alien mercenary. Durg was hired to help Rao Ventika steal a shipment of deuridium being transferred from the Gamma Quadrant to Deep Space 9 in 2369. Durg was killed by Ventika when he failed to carry out an order. ("The Passenger" [DS9]). Played by Christopher Collins.
duritanium.: Metallic substance used in mechanical construction. In 2372 Voyager found the wreckage of a small ship that was composed primarily of duritanium polyalloy. Chakotay says that he hasn't seen many weapons that could do that much damage to duritanium. Some Starfleet medical tricorders have a duratanium casing. A Voyager away team encountered a duritanium door 13 inches thick, the metal had melted into the door frame so the away team cut through it with phasers. ("Dreadnought" [VGR]; "Retrospect" [VGR]; "Omega Directive" [VGR]).
Durken, Avel.: Chancellor of planet Malcor III in 2367. Durken led his people during the time when Malcorian advances in spaceflight technology promised great benefits to his people. Unfortunately, more conservative elements in his government greatly feared the cultural risks of contact with extraterrestrial life. The discovery that Federation operatives had been conducting covert surveillance on his planet as a possible prelude to first contact provoked a violent reaction from these conservative elements, leading Durken to scale back the Malcorian space program. Durken also asked Captain Picard to postpone indefinitely any plans for Federation contact with the Malcorians. ("First Contact" [TNG]). Played by George Coe. George Coe also played the head of Network 23 in the television series Max Headroom.
Durst, Peter.: Starfleet lieutenant assigned to the starship Voyager, in the security department. Durst was killed in 2371 while on an away mission to planet Avery III for inspection of magnesite formations. He was captured by Vidiians, who harvested his organs to save the lives of more than a dozen Vidiians suffering from the phage. The Vidiian doctor Sulan took Durst's face and had it grafted onto his own so that Torres might find his new appearance more pleasing. ("Cathexis" [VGR]; "Faces" [VGR]). Brian Markinson, who previously played Vorin in Homeward [TNG], played both Durst and Sulan, and later appeared as Elias Giger in "In the Cards" [DS9].
Dvorak, Antonin.: (1841-1904). Terran musical composer known for his adaptations of Bohemian folk music. Dvorak's works, including The Slavonic Dances, were among the music that Data studied in 2369. ("A Fistful of Datas" [TNG]).
Dwarte.: Bajoran, an engineer on DS9 assigned to the swing shift. ("The Assignment" [DS9]).
DY-100.: Type of Earth ship built in the late 20th century. DY-100's used nuclear engines and were equipped with suspended animation facilities for extended voyages. The S.S. Botany Bay, launched in 1996, was a DY-100 class ship. These ships fell from general use by 2018 because of improvements in fusion drive technology. In 2045, Kirk and a team of Starfleet officers who were trapped in the past stole an obsolete DY-100 class ship to give passage home to two Vulcans who had crashed on Earth prior to first contact. ("Space Seed" [TOS #24]; "Strangers from the Sky" [Pocket Giant #2]). A conjectural model of the Botany Bay, built by Greg Jein for a photograph in the Star Trek Chronology, was equipped with several space shuttle-style solid rocket strap-on boosters, suggesting how the 1996-vintage spacecraft might have gotten into orbit. The model was seen as a desktop decoration in Rain Robinson's SETI laboratory in the 1996 scenes of "Future's End" [VGR].

Dyson sphere.: A gigantic artificial structure designed to completely enclose a star in a hollow sphere 200 million kilometers in diameter. T The interior surface of such a sphere, if constructed to provide a life-supporting environment, could theoretically provide the surface area of literally hundreds of millions of planets. Dyson Spheres were long believed to be impractical to build, due to their extreme size and the astronomical amount of raw materials required for construction. The basic concept was first proposed in the 1960s by Earth scientist Freeman Dyson, after whom the sphere is named.; Nevertheless, a Dyson Sphere was discovered near Norpin Colony when the Enterprise-D found the transport ship Jenolen, which had crashed on the sphere's surface in 2294. This object was built by an unknown civilization around a G-type star, and supported a Class-M atmosphere that clung to the interior surface of the sphere. The shell was composed of carbon-neutronium, with an interior surface area of 10¹⁶ square kilometers. No signs of current habitation were found on that interior surface, apparently because the star was undergoing severe bursts of radiation. ("The Starless World" [Bantam TOS]; "Relics" [TNG #130]; "Dyson Sphere" [Pocket TNG #50]).
Dytallix B.: Planet orbiting the star Mira, one of seven worlds owned by the Dytallix Mining Corporation.
