THE TREKKER'S GALACTOPEDIA
by CAPTAIN MIKE


J SECTION 2: Jn through Jz.

J'naii.
Technologically sophisticated species of sentient humanoids. The J'naii have culturally suppressed their sexual differentiation, having evolved beyond the need for separate genders, and reproduced by incubating their young in fibrous husks inseminated by both parents. The J'naii are, in many ways, the opposite of the Hermat people in which each individual possessed both genders instead of neither. Like the Hermats, the nature of the J'naii culture necessitated the use of different pronouns for common address, all individuals in their culture being referred to as "one" instead of "her" or "him." ("The Outcast" [TNG #117]).
Joachim.
Aide to Khan Noonien Singh, and one of 96 surviving genetic "supermen" who escaped from Earth in 1996 aboard the S.S. Botany Bay. Joachim served as Khan's second-in-command when Khan commandeered the starship Reliant, and died shortly before Khan detonated the Genesis Device. ("The Wrath of Khan" [Movie #2]). Played by Judson Scott. Scott later appeared in "Symbiosis" [TNG].
Joaquin.
Genetically engineered survivor of the Eugenics Wars. Joaquin and other followers of Khan Noonien Singh escaped Earth in 1996 aboard the sleeper ship S.S. Botany Bay. They traveled in suspended animation until awakened by personnel from the starship Enterprise in 2267. Khan and all his followers, including Joaquin, were marooned on Ceti Alpha V. ("Space Seed"]). Played by Mark Tobin.
John Muir, U.S.S.
Federation starship, Starfleet registry NCC-1782. ("The Undiscovered Country" [Movie #6]). From the 'Operation: Retrieve' chart.
Johnson.
Enterprise security lieutenant who was injured in 2268 fighting Klingons while under the control of the Beta XII-A entity that fed on hate and anger. Johnson's critical wounds healed quickly, so he could fight again. ("Day of the Dove" [TOS]). Played by David L. Ross, who also played Lieutenant Galloway in "A Taste of Armageddon" [TOS] and "The Omega Glory" [TOS].
Johnson.
("Metamorphosis" [Pocket TNG Giant #1]).
Johnson, Elaine.
Colonist on planet Gamma Hydra IV who died of a radiation induced hyperaccelerated aging disease in 2267. Elaine Johnson was the wife of scientist Robert Johnson and was 27 years old at the time of her death of old age. ("The Deadly Years" [TOS]). Played by Laura Wood.
Johnson, Mark Hobbes.
Citizen of planet Earth. In 2371, Johnson was engaged to marry Starfleet officer Kathryn Janeway. Johnson was devastated when he heard that Voyager had been lost in the Badlands. For a long time, he held out hope that the ship and its captain were safe. He eventually realized that he was clinging to a fantasy, and so began to live his life again. Finally, in early 2374, Mark Johnson married a woman who worked with him. Ironically, four months later, Johnson learned that his former fiancé was alive in the Delta Quadrant, struggling to return home aboard Voyager. Mark wrote a letter to Janeway informing her of his marriage. The letter, transmitted along with many other personal messages to Voyager crew members, was received by Voyager in the Delta Quadrant by means of an ancient communications relay system. ("Caretaker" [VGR #1&2]; "Persistence of Vision" [VGR]; "Hunters" [VGR]). Played by Stan Ivar. Mark's full name was not established until "Hunters," where it was readable on a padd.
Johnson, Robert.
Scientist. He was on planet Gamma Hydra IV and died of a radiation induced hyperaccelerated aging disease in 2267 at the age of 29. ("The Deadly Years" [TOS]). Played by Felix Locher.

Jonas, Michael.
Former Maquis crewman aboard the starship Voyager. Jonas was allied with Seska, and conspired with her to betray his crewmates on Voyager to the Kazon in 2372. He began secret transmissions to Seska and the Kazon-Nistrim shortly after the death of Crewman Bendera. Jonas sent information concerning Thomas Paris' historic crossing of the transwarp threshold to Kazon operative Rettick. He continued transmitting important information and was eventually asked to sabotage Voyager's magnetic constrictors. When Jonas sabotaged Voyager's magnetic constrictors, the ship was be forced to vent plasma from the ship, severely damaging the inner layer of the warp coils. This damage was designed to force Voyager to visit Hemikek, where Kazon forces were lying in ambush. Jonas was flushed out by Paris' mission to the Talaxians, and Neelix discovered Jonas sabotaging some of Voyager's systems in engineering and tried to stop him. During the altercation, Jonas fell and was vaporized in the plasma cloud from a broken conduit. A simulation of Jonas' voice is heard as one of the characters in "Insurrection Alpha", the mutiny holo-exercise programmed by Tuvok. ("Alliances" [VGR]; "Threshold" [VGR]; "Dreadnoght" [VGR]; "Lifesigns" [VGR]; "Investigations" [VGR]; "Worst Case Scenario" [VGR]). Played by Raphael Sbarge.
Jonathan Levy, U.S.S.
Federatin starship, Oberth-class scout. Commanded by Captain Lightfoot, this vessel was due to rendezvous with the starship Enterprise-A in 2288 in order to transfer a cargo of perishable flora and fauna collected on the frontier, to be brought back to Starbase 108 for further study. This vessel was overdue for the meeting in the Quatrin system, but later met the Enterprise. ("Veritas" [DC TOS vol.2 #30]).

Jor.
Crewperson on the starship Voyager. She was part of Teero Anaydis' plot to control Voyager through a mind-controlled mutiny. She went to Tom Paris' 3-D double feature, including "Attack of the Lobster People." ([VGR]).

Security chief on the starship Stargazer under the command of Jean-Luc Picard. ("Reunion" [Pocket TNG HC #1]).

Short, stocky, aggressive Thallonian man that served aboard Zoran's ship the Kayven Ryin.  Juif disliked Si Cwan, but was not as unhinged as Zoran in his quest to see Si Cwan dead. Years ago, Juif, Zoran, Rojam and Si Cwan used to be an inseparable quartet of friends. ("Endgame" [Pocket NF #4]).
Julthan prayer gem.
("Immortal Wounds" [Marvel EV #8]).
Julthans.
("Immortal Wounds" [Marvel EV #8]).
Jupiter.
Fifth planet in the Sol system, a gas giant. Jupiter has an equatorial diameter of 142,700 kilometers, and it orbits its sun at about 778 million kilometers. The Enterprise flew past Jupiter on its way to intercept V'Ger. Jupiter was designated as a Class-J planet. ("The Motion Picture" [Movie #1]). Jupiter was seen in the first and second season opening credits of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Jupiter, U.S.S.
Federation starship, an interceptor vessel, Starfleet registry NCC-1734. The Jupiter existed in the mid to late 23rd century. The Jupiter's top speed was warp 12 on the old scale, and the ship was armed with one torpedo launcher and six phaser emitters. This vessel's complement is 105 crewpeople. (Technical Manual [TOS]; Begin Tactical Starship Simulator [Clockwork Software]). There is, of course, no evidence that the Jupiter in the game was meant to be the Jupiter in the Technical Manual, but the ships in the TM list are better assigned to any other class, rather than being Constitution-variants, in my opinion.
Jupiter, U.S.S.
Federation starship, Akira-class heavy cruiser, Starfleet registry NCC-71627. Commanded by Captain Satelk, the Jupiter is the first vessel to be fitted with an experimental chain-pulsar weapons system. In 2376 the Jupiter helped the starship Enterprise defend the timeship Premonition from a Borg attack. ("Armada" [Activision]). The Jupiter is one of the supporting starships in the video game, and has been featured in a multimedia tie-in in the form of the Decipher Star Trek CCG as a special Akira-class chase card. This entry restates the blurb from the card front. Presumably, Captain Satelk is the character that was featured in the episode "The First Duty" [TNG].
Jupiter 8.
("Bread and Circuses" [TOS #43]).
Jupiter Outpost 92.
("The Best of Both Worlds" [TNG #74&75]).
Jupiter Station.
("Doctor Bashir, I Presume" [DS9 #114]; "The Cloud" [VGR #6]; "The Swarm" [VGR #49]).
Jurot.
Betazoid ensign aboard the starship Voyager. She was hidden, along with Tuvok, Vorik and the Brenari, using transporter suspension, from the Devore inspectors. ([VGR]).
Justman.
Shuttlecraft aboard the starship Enterprise-D.  ("Suspicions" [TNG]; "Ship in a Bottle" [TNG]; "Gambit" [TNG]).
