Worf. Federation Ambassador to the Klingon Empire. In 2376, Ambassador Worf pushed for smooth negotiations among the Tholians, the Federation, and the Klingon Empire when the 2268 Tholian massacre of the Klingon colony on Traelus II came to light (Interphase Book 2).
worker class. Subsection of Androssi society that does the work on their ships. Members of the worker class are considered interchangable and expendable in Androssi society, existing only to carry out the orders of the officer class. They are generally not even deemed worthy of eye contact. It is acceptable protocol for a member of the officer class to kill a member of the worker class if the latter is deemed to be giving a poor performance of duty (Cold Fusion).
X
Xlatitigu. Language with similarities to the Omearan tongue (Hard Crash).
Y
Yanasa. One of the Pevvni Purists working for Reger Undlar to sabotage Ganitriul (Fatal Error).
Yarnallian architectural style. A type of architecture found on the planet Eerlik. By 2376, the style had fallen out of fashion, though some temples retain the design (Fatal Error).
Z
Zilder. Bolian pilot, owner and operator of the Culloden. Zilder was a worshipper of Ho’nig, the god of the Damiani. Commander Sonya Gomez wondered if he was the first non-Damiani to worship Ho’nig. Zilder was hired in 2376 by the Nalori Republic to provide services for the subspace accelerator project on the planet Sarindar (Invincible Book 1). He was killed by the second monster shii. After his death, he left his copy of the Se’rbeg, the holy words of Ho’nig, to Gomez and his ship to the Nalori Republic (Invincible Book 2).

Kevin Dilmore counts himself as very thankful for the person who tipped him off at age nine, to the fact that Star Trek was a live-action television show before it was a Saturday morning cartoon. A graduate of the University of Kansas, he works as news editor and “cops and courts” reporter for a twiceweekly newspaper in Paola, Kansas. Kevin also covers “nonfiction” aspects of the Star Trek universe as a contributing writer for Star Trek Communicator magazine, as well as the Internet site StarTrek.com. He is looking forward to his next writing project with Dayton Ward, the S.C.E. trilogy Foundations, to be published in 2002. Kevin always will be proud that the formula for transparent aluminum was devised by the user of a Macintosh computer.
David Mack is a writer whose work for Star Trek spans multiple media. With writing partner John J. Ordover, he co-wrote the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “Starship Down” and the story treatment for the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “It’s only a Paper Moon.” David and John also penned the four-issue Star Trek: Deep Space Nine/Star Trek: The Next Generation
