List of minor Star Trek: The Next Generation characters
Due to the use of Star Trek characters elsewhere in the franchise and the frequent re-use of non-regular cast members, the order in which they appear in the list is necessarily imprecise.
Two well-known people that had roles on Star Trek were the NASA astronaut Mae Jemison and astrophysicist Stephen Hawking.
[1] Jack Crusher once made a holographic recording of himself in which he explained his life and recent happenings to his son Wesley shortly after his birth.
Wesley takes the vision of his father as a sign and resigns from Starfleet Academy in order to explore the galaxy with a powerful being known as the Traveler.
According to Whoopi Goldberg, she approached the producers of TNG with her desire to be on the show, due to her childhood admiration of Uhura, a character from the original Star Trek, played by actress Nichelle Nichols.
As a refugee aboard the El-Aurian vessel Lakul, she is rescued from the Nexus by the USS Enterprise-B in the film Star Trek Generations.
"[5][6] The subsequent diaspora and reintegration of her people, and even their traditional clothing, that Guinan still wears, are interpreted as a reference to questions about race and colonization.
Worf agrees to accept discommendation on the condition that Kurn's true bloodlines be kept secret, and that he be allowed to continue to serve.
Kurn becomes concerned over the future of the family since he has no male heirs, making Worf's son Alexander the next leader of the house.
In a twist of suicide by cop, despite having the ability to easily disarm the criminal, Kurn does nothing, and allows himself to be shot because dying in the line of duty would be an honorable death.
[24] Kurn was also in the 1998 computer game Star Trek: The Next Generation: Klingon Honor Guard, with voice acting by Tony Todd.
However, while Data is advanced and B-4 is primitive, Lore is sophisticated, clever, jealous and self-serving, making him the evil triplet in the group.
[citation needed] In the episode "Brothers", Soong summons Data to Terlina III to give him an emotion chip.
In contrast to Data's stoicism, Lore is sympathetic and distraught upon learning of their "father's" terminal illness, but jealousy over his brother and resentment of his own uncorrected imperfections reassert themselves.
"[28] In the sixth episode of the third season of Picard, Lore is revealed to have been revived and partially merged with Data, B-4 and Soong's son Altan, inside a new android body, that Starfleet's most advanced weapons lab, the Daystrom Institute, has requisitioned.
The new android entity contains valuable information on the lab's research projects, including the object stolen by the antagonists of the season: Picard's original dead body.
Like the other members of the House of Duras, they are villains; throughout their appearances, the characters attempt to destabilize the Klingon High Council and its relations with the United Federation of Planets.
In the film Star Trek Generations, the sisters align with Dr. Tolian Soran and attack the USS Enterprise-D. By capturing Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge and exploiting his VISOR, they are able to penetrate the Enterprise's defenses and severely damage the ship, leading to its eventual destruction, but not before the Enterprise destroys their Bird of Prey.
They are also in the 1998 computer game Star Trek: The Next Generation: Klingon Honor Guard, with voice acting by March and Walsh.
Shortly after she reveals she is pregnant, Ogawa reports to the senior staff when an injury incapacitates Crusher (TNG: "Genesis").
She was still pregnant by the series finale (TNG: "All Good Things..."), and her baby's birth was never shown or referred to on television; while the finale depicted her losing her unborn baby due to the effects of an "anti-time" anomaly, this was part of an alternate timeline that Captain Jean-Luc Picard ultimately prevented from coming to pass.
In 2016, marking the 50th anniversary of the first ever episode in the Star Trek franchise, Wired ranked Nurse Alyssa Ogawa as the 63rd most important character of Starfleet, within the entire body of the 30 seasons of the six television series and the 13 films then-aired in the franchise (15th most important of the Starfleet characters introduced in Star Trek: The Next Generation).
After the death of his mother, he was sent to live with Worf's adoptive human parents, Sergei and Helena Rozhenko, until becoming too unruly and problematic for them to manage.
Later, as a youth, he joined the Klingon military in its battle against the Dominion where he ended up serving under his father, who was General Martok's first officer aboard the IKS Rotarran.
Her complete title is "Lwaxana Troi, Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Riix, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed".
During a mental breakdown in "Dark Page", Lwaxana accused William Riker of using Deanna and leaving her, an act she instantly apologized for when she was in her right mind.
Her appearances often involve her search for a husband, fixing her sights at various times on a diplomatic minister, an alien scientist forced to die by a mandatory cultural requirement, and Captain Picard.
Majel Barrett also played Number One, Nurse Christine Chapel, and often the voice of a Star Trek main computer.
[34] In most of her Star Trek: The Next Generation appearances, Lwaxana Troi travels with her extremely tall manservant, Mr. Homn (Carel Struycken).
In The Ceremony of Innocence is Drowned, part of the non-canonical Tales of the Dominion War short story anthology, Homn is killed when the Jem'Hadar invade Betazed.
