Piotrowski. Gamma shift tactical officer on the U.S.S. da Vinci (Cold Fusion).
“Pompous Windbag.” Nickname given by Anthony Mark to his supervisor at Starbase 92 (Hard Crash).
prefix code. In a Federation starship’s computer systems, the prefix code is a security passcode prepensed to computer commands to prevent unauthorized activation or control of key systems (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan). The Starfleet Corps of Engineers team from the U.S.S. da Vinci used the prefix code of the U.S.S. Defiant in order to gain access to the ship’s logs (Interphase Book 1). The da Vinci also was able to take control of the Rio Grande when combatting an Androssi ship at Empok Nor by using the runabout’s prefix code (Cold Fusion).
Purists. Radical group of Pevvni who believe that the Eerlikka had become too dependent on their world-running computer, Ganitriul, and so sabotaged the computer, sending Eerlik into chaos. Led by Reger Undlar, they were stopped by the Starfleet Corps of Engineers team on the U.S.S. da Vinci (Fatal Error).
“PW.” See “Pompous Windbag.”
Q
Querti. Member of the subspace accelerator team on Sarindar. Querti was killed by the second monster shii (Invincible Book 2).
R
Razka. Assistant to the supervisor of the subspace accelerator team on Sarindar. Razka has five wives, none of whom he likes, and seventeen children (Invincible Book 1). The wife he detests least is Marig, and she is the one he wrote to when things went badly on Sarindar (Invincible Book 2). Razka was the first person to tell Commander Sonya Gomez about the monster shii, and he also shared his secret stash of Saurian brandy with her (Invincible Book 1). Although he was issued a sonic rifle upon his arrival on Sarindar, he never fired it because he was afraid (Invincible Book 2).
Reger. Title given to priests on Eerlik (Fatal Error).

Riker, William T. First officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise (The Belly of the Beast).
Rimlek. Worker on the subspace accelerator project on Sarindar. Rimlek was one of the first to be attacked by the first monster shii. Though he survived the encounter, he did fall into shock afterward (Invincible Book 1). He was later killed by the second monster shii (Invincible Book 2).
Rio Grande. Runabout assigned to Deep Space 9. Lieutenant Nog took the Rio Grande to Empok Nor, where he rendezvoused with the U.S.S. da Vinci in order to salvage the station’s fusion core for DS9’s use. During the subsequent firefight between the da Vinci and Overseer Biron’s Androssi ship, the da Vinci used the prefix codes of the Rio Grande in order to remotely control it during the battle (Cold Fusion). The Rio Grande then led the convoy that towed Empok Nor to the Bajoran system (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Section 31: Abyss).
Robins. Noncommissioned Starfleet personnel assigned to the U.S.S. da Vinci as a security guard (Cold Fusion).
rodinium. One of the hardest substances known to Federation science (“Balance of Terror” [TOS]). The security bulkheads used by Ganitriul were made of rodinium (Fatal Error).
