D’Ren. Worker assigned to the subspace accelerator project on Sarindar. D’Ren was an Osina (Invincible Book 1). He was killed by the second monster shii (Invincible Book 2).
Drew, Stephen. Noncommissioned Starfleet personnel assigned to the U.S.S. da Vinci as a security guard (Fatal Error). Drew was able to put together a program that would detect Androssi security device s even when they were using a dimensional shift to be rendered invisible and theoretically undetectable (Cold Fusion).
Duffy, Kieran. Second officer of the U.S.S. da Vinci, second-in-command of the ship’s Starfleet Corps of Engineers team. Duffy was formerly assigned as an engineer on the U.S.S. Enterprise (“Hollow Pursuits” [TNG]). He and fellow engineer Sonya Gomez had a relationship during much of their time serving together (The Belly of the Beast). When she was promoted to full lieutenant and assigned to the U.S.S. Oberth, the relationship ended (Invincible Book 1). Duffy served on the da Vinci as second officer under Commander Salek as well (The Belly of the Beast). Duffy’s favorite “comfort food” is macaroni and cheese (Hard Crash). He drinks coffee in the morning (Cold Fusion), and he is also fond of drinking quinine water over ice with a lime twist, particularly when he’s in a pensive mood. Duffy was given temporary command of the da Vinci when both Gomez and Captain David Gold went on the away team to salvage the U.S.S. Defiant from interphase. He found himself thrust into a crisis situation when the Tholians opened fire on the Defiant and the da Vinci (Interphase Book 1). Although he had trouble dealing with command at first, he eventually was able to take charge of the situation and comported himself well, which increased his confidence (Interphase Book 2). When Gomez was sent on a mission to Sarindar (Invincible Book 1), Duffy temporarily served as first officer of the da Vinci, where he had to deal with personnel issues involving roommates Carol Abramowitz and P8 Blue, then lead an away mission to Empok Nor (Cold Fusion). That mission was cut short by a distress call from Gomez on Sarindar. By the time they got there, the crisis had passed, but Gomez, after the hardships she endured on the planet, decided to renew her and Duffy’s relationship (Invincible Book 2). Duffy first appeared in the episode “Hollow Pursuits” [TNG]. His first name and history with fellow Enterprise engineer Gomez was established in The Belly of the Beast.
Dun. Officer assigned to the Androssi ship commanded by Overseer Biron (Cold Fusion).

Eddy, Claire. Noncommissioned Starfleet personnel assigned to the U.S.S. da Vinci as a security guard (Cold Fusion).
Eerlik. Planet, home to the Eerlikka. Eerlik is not a member of the Federation, but does trade with them. Eerlik has burgundy oceans and contains many rich deposits of uridium. All of Eerlik’s planetary functions, from weather control to communications to transportation, are handled by a computer called Ganitriul, which was constructed on Eerlik’s moon some three thousand years prior to 2376. A group of Eerlikka called the Pevvni colonized the ninth planet in their star system in 2326. Eerlik managed to stay out of the hostilities of the Dominion War. In 2376, a group of Pevvni Purists sabotaged Ganitriul with a computer virus that sent Eerlik into chaos, until the damage was repaired by the crew of the U.S.S. da Vinci (Fatal Error). Eerlik was named after Max Ehrlich, the writer of the episode “The Apple” [TOS], which also featured a world-running computer.
Eerlikka. Natives of the planet Eerlik. A humanoid race with teal skin, short in stature, hairless, eyelids both above and below their eyes. Their arms and legs are disproportionately short, and
