Miracle Workers (SCE Books 5-8) - Keith R. A. DeCandido_. [et al.] [115]
Kyepas Coast. Landmass on planet Eerlik. First Speaker Ansed spent many summers there when she was a girl (Fatal Error).

La Forge, Geordi. Chief engineer of the U.S.S. Enterprise. Lt. Commander La Forge and Lieutenant Christine Vale were temporarily detached to the U.S.S. da Vinci to help salvage the ship known as “the Beast.” La Forge engineered the cascade reaction in the black-hole propulsion system on the Beast that resulted in its explosion. When the mission was complete, La Forge stayed behind in order to aid in the cleanup (The Belly of the Beast). The da Vinci was en route to Starbase 505 to transfer La Forge back to the Enterprise when they were diverted by a distress call from Eerlik. La Forge aided the da Vinci crew against the Pevvni Purists who had sabotaged Eerlik’s computer Ganitriul. He was able to come up with a way to reconstitute the da Vinci’s shields after they were decimated by the Senbolma’s weapons (Fatal Error). La Forge also aided the da Vinci in its mission to Intar, at the end of which he was finally brought back to the Enterprise (Hard Crash).
ladrion bursts. Type of high-powered directed energy weapon. The Androssi ship commanded by Overseer Biron fired ladrion bursts (Cold Fusion).
Lankap mountain range. Landmass on Eerlik just outside the capital city (Fatal Error).
Lense, Elizabeth. Physician assigned to the U.S.S. da Vinci as Chief Medical Officer. Lense was first in her Starfleet Medical School class; Julian Bashir was second. She served on the U.S.S. Lexington prior to being assigned to the da Vinci (“Explorers” [DS9]). After graduation, Lense worked at Starfleet Medical for a few years before transferring to the Lexington (Interphase Book 1). Lense grew sick of treating wounded during the Dominion War, and after her transfer to the da Vinci, preferred the forensic aspects of the assignment to dealing with flesh-and-blood patients (Hard Crash). Lense is roommates with Lt. Commander Domenica Corsi, and she saw Fabian Stevens emerging from their shared quarters one night, deducing that they had had a liaison (Cold Fusion). Lense first appeared in the episode “Explorers” [DS9].
Lexington, U.S.S. Federation starship, Nebula class, Starfleet registry number NCC-61832 (“Explorers” [DS9]). Dr. Elizabeth Lense served as chief medical officer of the Lexington before being assigned to the U.S.S. da Vinci (The Belly of the Beast). Two others who served on the Lexington and died during the Dominion War were Jenson and Galloway. The Lexington responded to a distress call from the da Vinci to the planet Intar to aid against what was believed to be a Borg ship, but turned out to be the Omearan Starsearcher called Friend, so they broke off the rendezvous (Hard Crash).
Lipinski, Andrea. Noncommissioned Starfleet personnel assigned to the U.S.S. da Vinci as a security guard (Cold Fusion).
Luu, Blee. Musician from Sinnrav. Luu plays in the atonal minimalist style of Sinnravian drad music. One of her recordings is entitled Endless Dream. In 2376, she released a new recording, which Carol Abramowitz acquired, and with which she irritated her roommate P8 Blue. Lieutenant Nog took the recording off Abramowitz’s hands, to Blue’s relief, as part of a deal to get the U.S.S. Sugihara to aid in the towing of Empok Nor (Cold Fusion).
M
Maeglin. Planet. The Starfleet Corps of Engineers crew from the U.S.S. da Vinci aided the government of Maeglin against Overseer Biron of the Androssi. Although the da Vinci crew defeated Biron, the planet will take several decades to recover from what the Androssi did to their world (Cold Fusion).
Maeglin Law-Enforcement Bureau. Agency charged with policing the planet Maeglin. Captain David Gold told Overseer Biron of the Androssi that the bureau had deputized the U.S.S. da Vinci to apprehend Biron and his crew for crimes against Maeglin when they encountered each other at Empok Nor. This was a bluff on Gold’s part (Cold Fusion).
Marig. One of
