Mark, Anthony. Officer assigned to Starbase 92. Mark is in a committed relationship with Bart Faulwell of the U.S.S. da Vinci (Hard Crash).

Marshall. Federation diplomat. Marshall was concerned that the U.S.S. da Vinci’s salvage of the U.S.S. Defiant from Tholian space would damage the fragile relationship the Federation had achieved with the Tholians, deeming avoiding a war more important even than giving its long-lost crew a proper burial (Interphase Book 1). Marshall blamed Lt. Commander Kieran Duffy, temporarily in charge of the da Vinci, for the hostilities that erupted between the Tholians and the da Vinci, even though the Tholians fired first (Interphase Book 2).

Maryllo Island. A teardrop-shaped island on Eerlik. Birthplace of First Speaker Ansed (Fatal Error).

mazza. Word for the life force or soul of a Nalori. When a Nalori dies, his or her mazza must be commended to the Endless Wind by a person of authority, who announces the arrival of the mazza to the Shigemos. Commander Sonya Gomez served this function on Sarindar (Invincible Book 1).

McAllan, David. Alpha-shift tactical officer for the U.S.S. da Vinci (The Belly of the Beast).

McCoy, Leonard. Chief medical officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and later a retired admiral in the Starfleet Medical Corps. In 2268, McCoy discovered that a derivative of theragen mixed with alcohol could retard the debilitating neurophysiological effects of interphase experienced by the Enterprise crew when they attempted to rescue the U.S.S. Defiant from that interspatial phenomenon (“The Tholian Web” [TOS]). When the Defiant was finally salvaged in 2376, the elderly Admiral McCoy led the forensic detail that went over the ship after it was brought to Spacedock. McCoy always felt guilty that he found a cure when the Defiant’s Dr. Hamilton didn’t (Interphase Book 2).

meir. Animal life native to Sarindar that travels by gliding through the air (Invincible Book 1).

Miko. Speaker of Eerlik (Fatal Error).

Mokae. Worker on the subspace accelerator project on Sarindar. He was killed by the first monster shii (Invincible Book 1).

molecular shift. Occasional occurrence to ships in interphase when they fall out of sync with objects from “normal” space (“The Tholian Web” [TOS]). One such shift caused P8 Blue and Dr. Elizabeth Lense to fall through a cargo bay bulkhead on the U.S.S. Defiant while it was in interphase (Interphase Book 1).

monster shii. See shii, monster.

Moyya. Senator in the Nalori Republic. Moyya was in charge of the subspace accelerator project on Sarindar. He was not happy with Commander Sonya Gomez’s performance as supervisor, even though she put the project back on schedule (Invincible Book 1). He also did not believe her reports about the monster shii, and refused to curtail the project or allow the workers to evacuate. He did not show the evidence Gomez submitted to his fellow senators, and when he finally did, they reversed their position and authorized a cessation of the project until the monster shii problem could be solved. Moyya formally apologized to Gomez (Invincible Book 2).

Mranol. Worker assigned to the subspace accelerator project on Sarindar (Invincible Book 2).
